Functions

This device detects :

i A phase asymmetry fault (imbalance) within an adjustable threshold from 5 to 15 % (reduction or increase in voltage
of one phase in relation to the two others).

i Failure of one or more phases.

i Rotational direction of phases fault.

Applications :

i Connection of moving equipment :

- site equipment (cranes, pumps, conveyors, etc.),
- agricultural equipment,
- refrigerated trucks.
RM3-TAR1
i Protection of persons and equipment against the consequences of reverse running : lifting, handling, elevators,
escalators, etc.

i Control of sensitive 3-phase supplies.

Operating principle

The supply voltage is connected to terminals A1 - A2, the supply to be monitored to L1, L2, L3 of the relay.
In normal operation, the output relay is energised, the yellow and green LEDs are on.
If a rotational direction or phase failure fault is detected, the relay is de-energised (or cannot energise at switch-on), the
yellow LED goes out, the red LED (P) illuminates.
If an asymmetry fault is detected, the output relay de-energises after a preset time delay between 0.1 and 10 s, the yellow
LED goes out and the red LED (A) illuminates.
A fixed hysteresis (1) of 20 % is built into the relay.

(1) Hysteresis is the voltage differential (dissymmetry) between energisation and de-energisation of the output relay
(% in relation to the preset asymmetry value).

Example : asymmetry set at 10 %, 400 V supply

- relay de-energisation threshold : 400 - 10 % = 360 V,
- relay re-energisation threshold : 360 V + (20 % x 10 % ) of 360 V = 367.2 V.
