Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 592-BOV16 is a Series A overload relay assembly built for motor control panels, combining a three-pole terminal block, a manual RESET pushbutton, and a TRIPPED status flag with a TO TEST CIRCUIT test point on a plated steel mounting base. The rating label lists control circuit ratings of 120-600 Volts AC with a 7200VA make rating and a 720VA break rating, NEMA A600 rated, and confirms the unit was made in the USA. Overload relays in this family sit in a motor starter's control circuit and open on an overcurrent condition, protecting downstream equipment until the operator presses RESET to restore the circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the ratings on the 592-BOV16 label mean?
The label lists control circuit ratings, not motor current: 120-600 Volts AC, a 7200VA make rating, a 720VA break rating, and a NEMA A600 designation. These describe how much the relay's own contacts can switch in the control circuit.
Is this relay new, and has it been tested?
Yes, this is new, old stock in excellent condition, though it is missing its original box and documentation. It has not been electrically tested, so verify the RESET mechanism and contact operation on your bench before wiring it in.
Does the Series A designation matter for a replacement?
Series letters on Allen-Bradley catalog numbers can mark a design revision. If you are matching an existing panel, confirm your original relay is also 592-BOV16 Series A, or check the datasheet, before ordering.
Why buy this one instead of an unlabeled lot of overload relays?
This is the exact 592-BOV16 photographed above, not a description pulled from a parts list, so what you see is what ships. That beats gambling on an unmarked lot when you need one relay that matches your panel. This item clears our free-shipping line on its own, and it leaves our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A manual RESET flag is a small thing until the day a motor trips and someone needs to know it was not a mystery. This 592-BOV16 has sat unused since it left the Allen-Bradley line - install it, and it goes back to doing exactly the job it was built for, one press at a time.
