GE RTN1S Thermal Overload Heater Element, 14.5–18A for CL02-45

General Electric RTN1S Thermal Overload Heater Element

The General Electric RTN1S is a thermal overload heater element used in motor control systems to provide dependable overload protection. Designed for GE overload relays and compatible with CL02-45 motor starters, it helps protect motors by sensing excessive current and tripping the relay when needed.

Why It Helps
The RTN1S delivers consistent thermal sensing performance to safeguard motors from overload damage. By generating heat under excessive current draw, it supports the relay’s ability to shut down circuits before failures occur. This ensures improved equipment protection and reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Key Highlights

• Thermal overload protection: Generates heat in response to overcurrent conditions, enabling the relay to de-energize the motor circuit and prevent damage.

• Model-specific compatibility: Works with GE CL02-45 motor starters and corresponding overload relay assemblies designed for RTN-series heater elements.

• Defined amperage rating: Supports an overload range of 14.5–18 amps, allowing proper matching to the motor’s protection requirements.

• Manual reset support: Designed for overload relays with manual reset functionality to ensure controlled restart after overload events.

• Durable industrial construction: Intended for use in heavy-duty environments where reliable motor protection is essential.

Applications
Suitable for industrial motor control systems requiring precise overload protection. The RTN1S integrates into GE overload relay assemblies used in manufacturing, processing, and general automation. Its use in GE CL02-45 starters ensures dependable performance and long-term reliability within compatible control systems.
