It is protection installed to protect, usually motors, from going beyond the amperage capacities that were set down by the manufacturer's specifications of the motor. As a motor loads up to its rated HP it will operate within the motors amperage range. More loading on the motor will increase the amperage draw to a point where the motor's winding will start to burn or short out due to insulation breakdown of the motor coils. Over load protection is a settable device that will limit the current to a specific value. The setting on the over current device is the motor's FLA (full load amps). If the motor amperage goes higher that the set point the overload protection, the overload protection contacts will open and drop the motor's magnetic contactor off line. In some cases this could be an annoyance but it does save the motor from destroying itself.

to protect the source from overloading a switch can be opened as a circuit breaker, fuse, overload protection schemes
There are many types of overload protection these days and all are based on the FLA (full load amps) of the motor.
The only way an Inverter could overload a circuit would be on the supply side. The fusing/protection for the inverter is incorrect.
It is an over heat protection to prevent pump windings from buring out
due to the extension of loads they are using the relays for protection.........
A device with an overload protection used to control a motor is an Overload Relay.
The conclusion of overheat protection for an induction motor is that it is crucial for preventing damage to the motor due to excessive heat. When the motor operates at high temperatures for extended periods, it can lead to insulation breakdown, reduced efficiency, and even motor failure. Implementing effective overheat protection mechanisms such as thermal sensors, cooling systems, and automatic shutdowns can help to safeguard the motor and prolong its lifespan.

Overloading an elevator can cause it to become stuck between floors, trigger an alarm or emergency stop, or even lead to a malfunction that requires maintenance. It is essential to follow the posted weight limit for safety reasons and to prevent damage to the elevator system.

No, a circuit protection device must open the circuit on a fault current or overload.

Overload occurs when a circuit is drawing more current than its designed capacity, leading to overheating and potential damage. Overcurrent, on the other hand, refers to any situation where current flow exceeds the rated value of the circuit or equipment, which can result from overload or other faults like short circuits.
