Motor protection

To what current must the overload relay be set? [t-head2]

To the rated motor current - no higher, no lower. A relay set to too low will prevent the full utilization of the motor; set too high, it will not guarantee full overload protection. If a correctly set relay trips too frequently, then either the load on the motor should be reduced or the motor should be exchanged for a larger one.
