Weg MPW40-3-C016 MPW40 series overload relay with adjustable thermal release setting range of 0.1-0.16 A and maximum rated current IE of 40 A. Screw terminal connections provide secure wiring for motor control circuits, machine tools, and industrial automation panels requiring reliable overload and short-circuit protection for fractional horsepower motors.

Protection of electric circuits + operation and protection of motors

The MPW Motor-protective Circuit-breakers are a compact solution for the protection of electric circuits, and operation and protection of motors up to 45kW (380V) or 55kW (440V). With high breaking capacity, thus allowing the installation in specific applications with high short-circuit current. They assure complete protection for electric circuits and motors through thermal and magnetic releases, where the thermal protection may be set to protect against overloads and is equipped with a differential mechanism with phase-loss sensitivity, and the magnetic protection is set at 13xIn for short-circuit protection.

• Magnetic - Through the magnetic release, the MPW series offer protection against short-circuit on installations and motors, with fixed setting of 13 times the maximum current on the setting range of the breaker.
• Thermal - The thermal release may be adjusted and is responsible for protecting against overload, and sensitivity against phase-failure of installations and motors according to IEC60947-4-1, trip class 10.
• The MPWs can be installed through direct mounting on DIN rail 35mm or with fixing screws through a PLMP adaptor (see accessories)
