🔍 Key Concepts

• How a magnetic overload relay works (coil current creates magnetic force that pulls in a plunger) • Relationship between magnetic force and coil current (more current = stronger magnetic field) • What changing the dashpot setting actually adjusts: the current level at which the device trips

💭 Think About

• If you increase the setpoint current, does the relay trip at higher or lower current than before? • At that new, higher setpoint, does the plunger need a stronger or weaker magnetic pull to move? • How would magnetic force have to change (increase or decrease) if the relay is meant to wait for more current before tripping?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that increasing the setpoint current means the relay trips at a higher current than before, not lower • Connect higher trip current with whether the magnetic field in the coil is stronger or weaker at that moment • Match the idea of "stronger or weaker magnetic field" with the phrase "increases/reduces magnetic force" in the answer choices
