Ambient Compensated
Bimetal Overload Relay
As current rises, heat also rises. The hotter the bimetal strip
becomes, the more it bends. In an overload condition, the heat
generated from the heater will cause the bimetal strip to bend
until the mechanism is tripped, stopping the motor.

With this type of starter, the motor receives the full-line voltage
immediately upon being energized. When a motor is started
with full voltage, starting current can be as high as 600% of fullload current on standard squirrel cage motors. It can be as high
as 1200% of full-load current for high efficiency motors.
