Overload Protection

Overload Protection helps prevent damage to the output that can result when more current is present at the output than it can handle.

An Overload or short circuit to ground condition can cause an increase in point temperature and trigger a thermal shutoff to prevent damage to the output.

There is an Overload tag in the Diagnostic assembly.

Output Recovery After Overload Condition
Cause of Fault	Correction	Recover Time
Overload condition	Remove the load from the output point.	After the Overload or short circuit to ground condition occurs, the output point holds fault indications for 10 seconds until it checks if the fieldfault is removed.
Short circuit to ground condition	Correct the cause of the short circuit condition.
