Function
General functionality
Depending on the setting, the current monitoring relays monitor an AC load current that flows
through terminals 1/L1 - 2/T1 and 3/L2 - 4/T2 of the device for
overshoot
(I▲) or
undershoot
(I▼) or in
range monitoring
(I▲ and I▼ ≠ OFF).
Depending on their design, the current monitoring relays are powered with a 24 V AC/DC or
24 to 240 V AC/DC supply voltage through terminals B1/B2.
With two-phase apparent current monitoring, one changeover output, and analog
adjustment, the 3RR214.-.A.30 (basic-version) current monitoring relays provide a high level
of monitoring reliability particularly in the rated and overload ranges.
The switching states of the output relay are given below in the section entitled "Function
diagrams."

If a cable break (zero current in branch circuit 1/L1 - 2/T1 or 3/L2 - 4/T2) is detected (time
①), all running delay times are aborted, the red FAULT LED flashes rapidly and the CO
contact immediately changes its switching state.
When a defined current flow returns to both branch circuits (1/L1 - 2/T1, 3/L2 - 4/T2) (time
②), the CO contact responds according to the defined settings.
If Memory = I, the tripping state is saved.
If the unmonitored phase 5/L3 - 6/T3 fails, this can be detected if a motor is connected by an
increase in current in both phases 1/L1 - 2/T1 and 3/L2 - 4/T2.
