Overview
The Allen-Bradley 592-C1DA is a eutectic alloy SMP-3 solid-state overload relay designed for NEMA size 0/1 motor starters. This discontinued surplus unit delivers proven motor protection and control for legacy industrial automation systems. The 592-C1DA features automatic/manual reset with field-selectable trip class ratings, making it ideal for retrofit and replacement applications where original Bulletin 509 NEMA starters require overload protection.
Key Features
- Current Rating: 1.0–2.9 Amps (adjustable via heater element selection)
- SMP-3 Protection: Phase loss, jam, ground fault, and overload detection
- Reset Options: Automatic/Manual reset (user-selectable)
- Trip Class Selection: Field-selectable classes 10, 15, 20, or 30
- Optical Indicator: Visual trip indication for quick status verification
- Solid-State Design: Reliable electronic circuit protection without moving parts in main circuit
- NEMA Certification: UL Listed and CSA Certified for North American applications
- Mount Option: Panel mount or direct mounting to Bulletin 509 contactor

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The 592-C1DA serves as a direct replacement in Bulletin 509 NEMA starters requiring an SMP-3 solid-state overload relay in the 1.0–2.9 A range. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering, as mounting plate modifications may be required for retrofit to existing starter assemblies.
Works With
- Allen-Bradley Bulletin 509 three-phase starters and contactors
- Manual and push-button control stations
- Soft-start and VFD input/output filtering systems
- PLC and SLC ladder logic control programs (via remote reset terminals)
- DIP switch configuration for trip class selection without device removal
