Large industrial temperature control systems, assembly lines, energy and other complex manufacturing systems all rely on motors for operation. If that motor overheats, it can be damaged or even destroyed. To prevent this from happening, either an electromechanical relay (EMR) or a solid-state relay (SSR) generally is used in these systems to sense whether the motor is overheating, and if so, turn off the motor in time to prevent damage.
This automatic thermal protection is accomplished by means of an integrated thermostat embedded in the solid-state relay.
