The CurrentWatch ECSTD Series
from Eaton’s electrical business is a
family of high performance currentoperated switches with fieldadjustable time delay to help minimize
nuisance trips during start-up and
operation. Designed for motor status
applications where setpoint accuracy
and repeatability are critical, the
ECSTD Series offers a linear setpoint
characteristic and constant hysteresis.
Standard features include selfpowering, jumper-selectable ranges
and a choice of outputs and housing
styles.
For typical applications of the CurrentWatch ECSTD Series, see listing to
the right.

■
eliminate nuisance alarms due to start-up inrush or temporary overcurrent
conditions
Choice of N.O./N.C. AC or Universal Outputs — Contact ratings of 1.0A @
■
240V AC or universal outputs of 0.15A @ 240V AC/DC (N.O. models) and
0.2A @ 135V AC/DC (N.C. models) for use with most standard motor control
systems
■
Improved Ease of Installation and Use — Self-powered, split-core models
simplify installation, 1.0A AC rating eliminates need for time delay relay,
and status LED provides visual indication of setpoint trip and contact action
■
Industrial Grade Performance — Constant hysteresis and linear response
characteristics enhance setpoint accuracy
Agency Approved — UL Listed, CE pending

Typical Applications
Adjustable Start-Up/
Delay Timer
Built-In Mounting Tabs
■
Motor Protection — Serves as an electronic proof-of-operation; detects
current draw changes in motors when they encounter problems such as
pumps running dry or pending bearing failure; non-intrusive and less
expensive to install than differential pressure flow sensors or thermal
switches; much quicker response time than Class 10 overload relays
High Inrush or Temporary Overload Current — Adjustable start-up/delay
■
timer allows 0 – 15 second delay to eliminate nuisance trips from high
inrush or short overload conditions
