III. Key Points for Selection and Application
- Principiul actual de potrivire: 135-160A is the upper adjustment limit of the 100-160A specification. Ensure the rated load current ≤ 160A and the long-term operating current ≤ 135A (o 10% margin is reserved).
- Mounting and Heat Dissipation:
Reserve ventilation space for standalone mounting and avoid enclosed environments;
When the ambient temperature > 40℃, derate the load current by 10% for every 10℃ rise (de ex., 135-160A shall be derated to 121.5-144A at 50℃);
Ensure a firm snap connection with the contactor for plug-in mounting to maintain stable contact resistance.
- Recomandări de înlocuire:
Prioritize the NXR Series for new designs (optimal performance, complete functions);
The NR2 Series is an option for replacement of in-service equipment (compatibilitate bună, moderate cost);
The JR36 Series is available for maintenance of old systems (direct replacement without changing the mounting method).
- Examples of Complete Markings for Common Models
JR36-160 100-160A (Chint classic standalone thermal overload relay)
NR2-200 100-160A (mainstream plug-in type, adaptable to NC2 contactors)
NXR-200 100-160A (KunLun series, new generation thermal overload relay)
NR4-200 100-160A (JRS2 industry standard, adaptable to various contactors)
Rezumat: Chint 135-160A thermal overload relays cover four major series: JR36 (clasic), NR2 (mainstream), NXR (noua generatie) and NR4 (industry standard). All adopt a bimetallic strip design with phase failure protection and temperature compensation functions. Users can select the appropriate series according to mounting methods, functional requirements and budgets.
