Functions

This device monitors the rotational direction of the phases in a 3-phase supply and detects the complete failure of one
or more of the phases.

Applications :

i Connection of moving equipment :

- site equipment (cranes, pumps, conveyors, etc.),
- agricultural equipment,
- refrigerated trucks.

i Protection of persons and equipment against the consequences of reverse running :

- lifting, handling, elevators, escalators, etc.

i Control of sensitive 3-phase supplies.

Operating principle

The voltage of the supply to be monitored, connected to terminals L1, L2, L3 of the relay, also provides its power supply.

Monitoring rotational direction of phases :

In normal operation, the output relay is energised, the yellow LED is on. If a fault occurs - reversal in rotational direction
of phases, the relay is de-energised (or cannot energise at switch-on) and the yellow LED goes out.

Detection of phase failure :

The RM3-TG2 continually measures each voltage between the terminals L1L2, L2L3 and L1L3. In the event of 2 or 3
phases failing, the output relay de-energises (or cannot energise at switch-on) and the yellow LED goes out.
In the event of 1 phase failing, a voltage greater than the detection threshold (60 V) can be generated back through the
control circuit thus preventing detection of the phase failure. For this reason, it is recommended that RM3-TA or RM3-
TAR relays be used for detection of a single phase failure.

Setting-up
For a voltage equal to or greater than 415 V, a minimum distance of 10 mm must be left between relays if several are mounted side by side.
