Product Description
The Sprecher+Schuh CEF 1-12 is a solid-state Electronic Motor Protection Relay designed for comprehensive motor protection in industrial applications. It provides thermal overload protection, single-phase and phase-unbalance protection, thermistor overtemperature protection, and overcurrent warning indication. Current settings are digitally adjusted via eight slide switches, with a built-in 20A base value and a full adjustable range of 0.5 to 180 amperes. This unit is part of the CEF1 series, which was scheduled for obsolescence by the manufacturer in 2006 and is considered a discontinued legacy product.
