The Allen Bradley W61 is a thermal overload relay heater element belonging to the Bulletin 500 Accessories series. This heater employs a eutectic alloy design, offering effective performance for overload protection applications. Rated for operation up to 600 V AC, it adheres to NEMA ICS 2, Part 4 compliance, ensuring compatibility with various systems. The W61 is classified as a trip class 20 device, optimal for managing electrical loads efficiently.
This unit accommodates several full load ampere ratings to fit different motor sizes. Specifically, for size 00–0, the full load amperes (FLA) is 22.2 A, while size 1 has an FLA of 22.9 A. Size 2 supports an FLA of 23.2 A, and size 3 accommodates a maximum of 25.1 A.
In terms of performance, the W61 exhibits a trip time of less than or equal to 20 seconds when exposed to 600% rated current for Class 20. This trip behavior is indicative of its reliable protection capabilities under fault conditions. Notably, for Class 10 and Class 30, trip times are not applicable for this specific type of heater element. The W61 is designated to meet the demands of industrial applications requiring effective overload protection solutions in various configurations.
