DESCRIPTION
The Model 258 continuously monitors 3-phase power
lines for abnormal conditions. When properly ad-
justed, the Model 258 Monitor will detect phase loss
on a loaded motor even when regenerated voltage is
present.
This device consists of a solid-state voltage and
phase-angle sensing circuit, driving an electro-
mechanical relay. When correct voltage and phase
rotation are applied, the internal relay will energize.
A fault condition will de-energize the relay. When the
fault is corrected, the monitor will automatically reset
(a manual reset version is also available).
The Model 258 3-Phase Monitor does not require a
neutral connection and can be used with Wye or
Delta systems. Voltage ranges are sufficiently wide
to allow for proper adjustment to existing conditions.
Both “TRIP” and “NORM” condition indicators are
provided to aid in adjustment and system trouble-
shooting.
