    Thermal Overload for TELEMECANIQUE LC1 D18 10?

    Good Morning All... Does anybody know what motor thermal overload would fit a TELEMECANIQUE LC1 D18 10? I need a 23A overload. Would this work TELEMECANIQUE LR2D2353? I can't seem to find any with the correct distance between the inlet 3phase connections for my contactor (photo attached). Thanks!

    Thanks, let me explain a bit further. According to the video, mine are no good. They have measurements of between G and K: 138 Ω K and A: 63M Ω and always rising A and G: 76M Ω and always rising I am building a coil accelerator and so am needing to use the thyristor to switch on the coil when...

    As @Moley said I would just get one of these: Aliexpress.com Ive purchased numerous of them before. Can't get anything better for the price and SO easy to set up. You will only need a multimeter. Hope this helps!

    Also, when I remove the 1k resistor from - to gate then power the gate with + 5v the motor immediately runs, but does not continue to run after I remove the power to the gate, it should continue to run as I have permanent power to the K and A of the thyristor. Im beginning to think my...

    Just tried that now. It does work as you say it should although it takes the positive power in through the gate pin and does not seem to activate the thyristor. Do you know why this might be? Thanks again!

    Thanks both of you. That’s very helpful to know for sure which is which. If I put - to the gate then the led or motor immediately is powered continuously even without the negative lead going into pin 2. Hope this helps.

    Can you tell me which pin you think is the gate? 1, 2, or 3? From the photo I think it’s pin 3, but thought I would get a second opinion. Thanks!
