True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

Overload relays are designed to open the circuit when the current becomes 115 percent to 125 percent of the motor full load current.
 

 2. 

Thermal overload relays trip faster when located in a cool area than in a warm area.
 

 3. 

Many bimetal strip type overload relays can be set for either manual or automatic reset.
 

 4. 

Magnetic type overload relays are sensitive to ambient temperature.
 

 5. 

One common use for the normally open set of contacts on an overload relay is to provide an input signal to a programmable logic controller (PLC).
 

Completion
