Description
The earth fault monitoring relay is
enclosed in a P-75 housing.
5 versions are available for AC
operation.
Features:
● Relay outputs:
2 auxiliary contacts (C/O)
● Two insulation measuring circuits
● Symmetrical insulation faults are
detected
● Test button for function checks
● LEDs for supply voltage and
switch status
The unit measures the insulation
resistance between the phases and
system earth. If insulation resistance
in one of the two measuring circuits
falls below the response value Ron,
the auxiliary contact changes state
and the LED fault switches on.
As soon as the insulation resistance
has increased to the release value
R
, the unit is ready for operation
off
immediately using automatic reset,
if manual reset is used, the reset
button must be pressed or the reset
circuit must be opened via an
external N/C contact.
