Detecting Current Errors Section 4-5
c. V Connection
Example: Using Two 200-VAC, 2-kW Heaters
The heater burnout current when there is a burnout at the common is as fol-
lows:
Heater burnout detection current =
≅ 7.5 [A]
The heater burnout current when there is a burnout at the load is as follows:
Heater burnout detection current =
≅ 5 [A]
To enable detection in either case, use 7.5 A as the heater burnout detection
current.
4-5-3 Heater Short Alarm (HS Alarm)
The HS Alarm detection function measures the heater current when the con-
trol output (heating) is OFF. For details, refer to the following table.
(HS Alarm detection cannot be used with the control output for cooling.)
