New TA Series Tripping Class 20 Thermal Overload Relays

If you are having nuisance overload trips on startups due to long acceleration time of fan motors or other large inertia loads, ABB can help!

Selecting and adjusting an overload for large inertia loads is more complex than just selecting the FLA. The New TA series makes selection and adjustment easy, fast, and reliable. The tripping class indicates the maximum tripping time in seconds under specified conditions at 7.2 times the nominal current setting. The new class 20 overloads give you that extra time for special applications and difficult motor starts. ABB’s new class 20 overloads and their accessories meet UL, CSA, IEC and most other important certifications and approvals required throughout the world. The new TA series class 20 overloads provide economic and effective protection against Overloads, Phase unbalance and Phase loss.

Key Features:

  • Provides Low Cost Thermal Protection Against:
    • Overloads
    • Phase Unbalance
    • Phase Loss
  • Available for starter construction with A-Line contactors A9 – A110
  • Designed for close couple mounting or separate base mounting
  • Wide thermal adjustment range
  • Full automatic or Manual Reset option
  • Remote trip and reset option available
  • Reset button can be adjusted to function as a Stop button
  • Trip indicator
  • Tripping contacts (95, 96) and Signaling Alarm contacts (97, 98)
  • Ambient compensation from (-13°F to +131°F) –25°C to +55°C

New 30 Amp Power Timer, Dual Function Timer, Slashes Installed Cost

Custom Timers, with Fast Delivery - Another ABB Winning Combination
Need Custom functions at standard lead times? No programmers or IT people required and you get direct switching of 30A, 1 HP loads.

The HRPD makes it possible to eliminate a power relay or DP contactor, save wiring and get the accuracy and reliability of an onboard adjustable time delay relay.

ABB is please to announce this exciting addition to the patented ProgramaCube® family of factory programmable timers. The HRID/HRPD combines the accuracy of microcontroller circuitry with a 30 Amp relay to allow direct control of pumps, compressors, motors, heaters and lighting.

The HRID Series features isolated SPDT contacts, the HRPD has non-isolated relay contacts for reduced wiring and fewer connections. The standard dual functions can replace up to 3 conventional singe function timers.

Factory programmed means all functions, all ranges, all adjustment methods, and all voltages are available at standard lead times.

Custom software functions can be created to allow the HRPD to replace a miniPLC or a logic relay. This can dramatically cut your overall control system cost.

All units are shipped with the UL and CSA approval and the CE mark. They are backed by an exclusive 10 Year Warranty.

Important Features:

  • 30 A res., 1 Hp, SPDT Output Relay Contacts
  • Select 1 of 13 Standard Dual Timing Functions
  • Custom Functions are Available, Call 800-377-7722 for Details
  • 0.1 to 1000 s or m or h in 9 Ranges

Terminal Plotter and Marking System

ABB is pleased to announce a new plotter. This plotter offers many additional features listed below. It is a rugged industrial design rated for years of reliable operation. Improved machined base plate/template for RC/RCT terminal block markers, is more durable, enables better accuracy and is less expensive to maintain. In addition to terminal block marking, templates are available for other components. It can be used to mark ABB terminal blocks and those from other companies.

  • Unique Pen Handling & Sealing - has a silicone sealer built in that will keep the tip of the pen moist.
  • Plotter Pen Test - draws a pattern on a dedicated spot prior to plotting on the marker; ensures every tag will be marked correctly
  • Template Recognition System - automatically detected by the software and displays only associated markers.
  • Increased Spacing - 15mm spacing between the pen tip and the bed, can plot thicker markers.
  • Applications with accessory templates - Marking: wire and cables, ferrules, mounting panels, components and push-button tags.
  • Accessory Tools - New tools, like an engraving tool, will be available soon.
