Product Description

Description

The B4.85 is a thermal overload relay heating element manufactured by Schneider Electric, designed for use with traditional NEMA-style motor starters. This component acts as the sensing element for thermal overload relays, providing essential motor protection by monitoring the current flow. When the motor draws excessive current for a prolonged duration, the heating element generates heat proportional to the current, triggering the thermal relay mechanism to open the control circuit and prevent motor damage due to overheating. It is a critical component for maintaining the operational integrity of electric motors in industrial control systems.

Features

  • Thermal Sensing: Provides accurate current-to-heat conversion for reliable overload detection.
  • Compatibility: Engineered for integration into standard Schneider Electric/Square D NEMA thermal overload relay housings.
  • Operational Reliability: Ensures consistent motor protection performance in heavy-duty industrial applications.
  • Durable Construction: Built to meet industrial standards for electrical components.

Applications

  • Protection of three-phase AC motors in industrial starters.
  • HVAC systems, pumps, and conveyor motor protection.
  • Maintenance and repair of legacy electrical starter assemblies.
  • Overload protection in motor control centers (MCCs).

Installation Guidelines

  • Correct Sizing: Ensure the B4.85 heating element is correctly selected based on the motor's full-load current (FLC) rating as specified by the motor manufacturer’s tables provided for the thermal overload relay.
  • Mounting: Insert the heating element into the thermal overload block, ensuring the mounting screws are tightened to the specified torque to prevent high-resistance contact points.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the heating element for signs of discoloration or terminal looseness caused by thermal cycling.
  • Safety: Always disconnect power to the motor starter before removing or installing thermal heating elements to prevent electrical shock.
  • Environment: Operate within a clean, dry control panel to ensure the thermal characteristics of the unit are not compromised by ambient dust or humidity.

FAQ
What is the function of the B4.85 heating element?
It serves as the sensing component in a thermal overload relay, translating motor current into heat to trip the protection mechanism during an overload condition.
How do I choose the correct heating element for my motor?
You must select the specific heating element (like the B4.85) by cross-referencing your motor's full-load current (FLC) with the manufacturer's selection table provided with the motor starter.
Is the B4.85 unit still in production?
No, this component is currently in the Phase-Out product phase.
