The 3RR2 current monitoring relays are used, for example, in the following applications:
● Monitoring for current overshoot and current undershoot
● Monitoring for cable breaks
● Monitoring for no-load operation and load shedding (as might be the case, for example, in
the event of a torn V belt)
● Underload monitoring in the lower performance range (if a pump was running in no-load
operation, for example)
● Monitoring for overload (as might affect pumps with a soiled filter system, for example)
● Monitoring the performance of electrical loads such as heaters
● Monitoring for incorrect phase sequences on mobile equipment such as compressors or
cranes
● Monitoring for high-impedance faults to ground (caused by damaged insulation or
moisture, for example)
