What is the purpose of the overload relay?

his part is both the start relay and the overload. The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures. The capacitor helps the compressor kick on and off while maintaining a constant temperature to keep things frozen in your freezer. http://www.partselect.com/PS2069268-Whirlpool-67005560-Overload-Relay-with-Start-Capacitor.htm

The switch gets its power by using the ground connection as a neutral, so it's running a small amount of current between live and ground. It's not a lot of power, just enough to run the detection circuitry, but it might draw enough for your GFCI to notice when it flips the relay.

This is not a surge protector. Many appliances and devices use a trickle of electricity even when they are not actually turned on, which wastes electricity, not to mention wasting your money. The purpose of the Belkin Power Conserve Switch is to cut power completely to whatever is plugged into it. You restore power to your appliance by pressing the small power switch on the right-hand side of the switch when it's time to use the appliance, and then off again, when use is complete. I have six of these installed in my kitchen and have been delighted with their performance and ease of use.

No, This relay is for something like glow plugs on a diesel or any thing else you want to run for a set period when you apply power.

Thanks for your question. It can be used to protect any device that is within the load specifications of the device. Thanks again.

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.

This not something for "cleaning-up" power. By that I am guessing that you are talking about sags and surges. This is to protect against spikes, such as from a lightning hit. I believe some others have already responded with basically the same answer. --bill

It is a convenience but it also protects the metal surfaces of the plug and socket from wearing out if the plug is pulled out too often. Loose connections will cause bad connection problems and might cause electrical sparks.

nothing to do with the side socket don't even know why they say that the control box is your fuse box where the switches are . that if you have an over load the switch will throw itself to keep from having a fire from one fuse being over loaded

I don't know for certain. I would contact the manufacturer to find out for sure as you would not want someone to inadvertently power up too many things and cause a fire in your house due to overloading the circuits.

load shedding is it drop circuits as needed to stay running so it doesnt overload

The outputs are "relays", which are mechanical contacts. They therefore do not have a minimum current load.

Printed on the underside of the board is the schematic for the NO and NC connectors for load side of each relay. The pictures for the product don't show that on the underside but mine has them. Otherwise one could always provide an input signal and test the continuity with the input on/off as others suggest. The input signals are on the same side as the relays and easy to see in the picture.

The only thing I can tell you is it is for connecting to a male quick disconnect Foster fitting. I figure the 1st reply was the best answer to your question.

Here is a link to the DataSheet for the Relays themselves:http://www.oddwires.com/content/songlesrdrelay.pdf

No it has a built-in overload circuit to prevent damage. I've done it and nothing happened.

Hard to tell from your question exactly what you are planning to do.It certainly can be used to protect one load on a double pole circuit but it should be connected through a breaker on each line.See the instructions at this link-http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Surge%20Protective%20Devices/IG%20Series/IG1240RC3%20Instructions.ashx
