Schneider Electric Telemecanique L101EL1 Overload Relay

The Schneider Electric Telemecanique L101EL1 is a 1-pole thermal overload relay used to protect electric motors in industrial motor control systems. It provides thermal overload protection for motor circuits and is rated for up to 100 A motor current and a maximum of 600 VAC, with a manual reset and screw-terminal wiring. Designed for mounting on standard contactor/motor starter assemblies, it is commonly installed in motor control centers (MCCs), conveyors, pumps, compressors, fans, and other industrial machinery to prevent motor damage from overload conditions. This is a discontinued legacy model from Telemecanique (Schneider Electric). For compatibility or replacements, typical options include Schneider Electric’s LR9F Series electronic overload relays or LRD Series thermal overload relays, as well as the Allen-Bradley 193 Series electronic overload relay. Applications span conveyors, pumps, mixers, packaging equipment, HVAC systems, and automated manufacturing equipment where dependable motor protection and safe process operation are essential.
