Something different - a motor overload relay
🕑 Added 2023-09-26 03:17:04 +0000 UTCI've never taken one of these to bits before. It was reassuringly close to what I was expecting.
I'll confess. The first time I installed one of these (on a large fan in a compressor room) I didn't realise it had to be wired in series with the contactor coil. I thought it broke the circuit directly itself. I've a feeling I'm not the only one who's made that mistake.

It goes up to 36V with up to 5A on the 16V range and 2 on the highest range. A 30V 2A power supply is ample for most applications.

I am curious: What actually is your bench power supply ? I don't specially need make and model, but the type and size/characteristics would be interesting. thank you

Where is the hammer of knowledge when you need it?
