PTC thermistor relays
The ATEX-certified motor thermal protection function contains one (+L513) or two (+2L513)
ABB CM-MSS.41 thermistor relay(s) by default. Three ABB CM-MSS.41 thermistor relays
(+3L513) are available as an order-based engineered option.
DOLD MK 9163N.12/110-ATEX thermistor relay(s) are available as an order-based
engineered option.

Note: Although autoreset of the relay can be implemented
by connecting these terminals together, this is not recommen-
ded when used in the protection function of an Ex motor.
