ABSTRACT:
Problems with inaccuracies in selecting the relay trip current in an overload relay are eliminated in an overload relay employing a custom potentiometer having a resistance that varies at multiple rates to set the trip current value. The dial markings on the trip current adjustment dial are sufficiently spaced to allow for a more precise selection of the relay trip current at the higher ampere settings of the relay.
