TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
The Model 2581 3-Phase Monitor is designed to
continuously monitor 3-phase power lines for phase
loss, low voltage and phase reversal. The Model 2581
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 electromechanical
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 .
The Model 2581 3-Phase Monitor does not require a
neutral connection and can be used with Wye or Delta
configured systems. Low voltage trip point is factory
set at 10% below nominal. An LED indicator is provided
for system troubleshooting.
