        Tesla | Thermal Overload Relay 12-18A Adjustable | Motor Protection

        The Tesla D1321 is a thermal overload relay with an adjustable setting range of 12 to 18 A. The D1321 pairs with D09 to D32 contactors and offers manual or automatic reset.

        A motor that draws over its rating does not fail straight away. It heats, and it keeps heating until the windings give out. A thermal overload relay works on that timescale. The D1321 responds to sustained overcurrent rather than to the brief inrush of a normal start. Its setting is adjustable across 12 to 18 A to match the motor it protects.

        Features

        • 12 to 18 A adjustable — the D1321 sets anywhere across a 12 to 18 A range.
        • Suits D09 to D32 contactors — the relay pairs with contactors across the D09 to D32 range.
        • Manual or automatic reset — the D1321 offers both manual and automatic reset options.
        • Time-delayed response — the relay responds to ongoing overload rather than tripping on brief startup current.
        • Standard mounting — the D1321 uses a standard mounting design for control panels and motor starters.

        Where to use

        • Motors drawing 12 to 18 A — motor circuits with a full load current falling inside the adjustable range.
        • D-series contactor starters — starters already built around a D09 to D32 contactor.
        • Control panel motor starters — panel-mounted starter assemblies taking a standard mount relay.

        A thermal overload relay provides no short-circuit protection. It responds to sustained overload, not to a fault current, so the circuit still needs a fuse or motor-rated circuit breaker upstream of it. Set the dial to the motor's full load current rather than to the top of the range, because a setting above the motor rating leaves the motor unprotected. Trip class and auxiliary contact arrangement are not stated for the D1321, so confirm both against the motor start time and the control circuit before wiring it in.

        (D1321)

        It’s sized for motors in the 12–18A range, providing dependable overload protection for heavy-duty use.

        Use the built-in dial to set the relay between 12A and 18A to match your motor’s rating.

        No. It ignores brief inrush currents at startup and only trips on sustained overloads.

        Yes. It’s built for motors that handle high-demand, continuous workloads.

        Yes. It’s commonly installed to prevent costly downtime on production lines.

        Too low could cause nuisance trips; too high may leave the motor unprotected.
