RM35-3-phase supply control relays

In the complex world of industrial operations and machinery maintenance, ensuring the optimal performance and safety of electrical equipment is paramount. The RM35-3-phase supply control relays, including the RM35TF30, RM35UB3 series, and RM35TM models, stand out as comprehensive solutions designed to monitor and protect 3-phase electrical systems. These devices are engineered to address a variety of critical functions, such as phase sequence checking, phase loss detection, voltage irregularities, and motor temperature monitoring, ensuring the seamless operation and longevity of your machinery and equipment.

The RM35TF30 control relay monitors the following on 3-phase supplies:

These control relays:

  • Accept different nominal 3-phase voltages: 220… 480 V ∿
  • Monitor their own power supply measured as a true RMS value
  • Are designed for clip-on mounting on a ⍽ rail

They feature:

  • A sealable cover to help protect the settings
  • A control status indicator LED

Applications

  • Control for connection of moving equipment (site equipment, agricultural equipment, refrigerated trucks)
  • Control against reverse motor operation (lifting, handling, elevators, escalators, etc.)
  • Control of sensitive 3-phase supplies
  • Emergency power supply switching in abnormal conditions

Operating Principle

3-phase supply control relay RM35TF30 monitors:

  • Correct sequence of phases L1, L2, and L3
  • Phase loss
  • Undervoltage and overvoltage in window mode
Un 220V 380,400,415,440 V 480V
Voltage Threshold(%) -12…-2 -20…-2 -20…-2
+2…+20 +2…+20 +2…+10

 

  • Asymmetry from 5…15% of the supply voltage Un.
  • LED indication for relay output status and fault detection (except phase disconnection)

Voltage switch operation:

  • Set the switch to the 3-phase supply voltage Un.
  • The position of this switch is only taken into account on energization of the device.
  • If the switch position is changed while the device is operating, all the LEDs flash, but the product continues to operate normally with the voltage selected at the time of energization preceding the change of position.
  • If the switch is returned to the original position selected prior to the last energization, the LEDs return to their normal state

Phase + Overvoltage + Undervoltage in window mode

The relay monitors:

  • correct sequence of the three phases
  • phase loss of at least one of the three phases (U measured < 150 V)
  • asymmetry, adjustable from 5 to 15% of Un
  • the undervoltage, adjustable from – 2…- 20% of Un (- 2…- 12% in the range 3 x 220 V ∿)
  • the overvoltage, adjustable from + 2…+ 20% of Un (+ 2…+ 10% in the range 3 x 480 V ∿ due to the maximum voltage 528 V ∿)
    • If a sequencing or phase loss fault is detected, the relay opens instantly.
    • If an asymmetry or voltage fault is detected, the relay opens at the end of the time delay set by the user.
    • On energization of the device with a detected measured fault, the relay stays open.

RM35UB330

Overvoltage/undervoltage control

The relay monitors:

  • Phase loss (U measured < 150 V)
  • The undervoltage
  • The overvoltage
  • Each threshold has its own independently adjustable time delay from 0.3 to 30 s.
  • If a voltage fault is detected, the corresponding relay (one undervoltage output/one overvoltage output) opens at the end of the time delay set by the user.
    If a phase loss is detected, both relays open instantly without waiting for the end of the time delay set by the user.
  • On energization of the device with a detected measured fault, the relays stay open.

Note:

  • Tt 1: overvoltage threshold delay (adjustable on front panel)
  • Tt 2: undervoltage threshold delay (adjustable on front panel)

RM35UB3N30

Overvoltage/undervoltage + absence of neutral control

The relay monitors:

  • Presence of the neutral v the undervoltage
  • The overvoltage v phase loss (U measured < 80 V)
  • Each threshold has its own independently adjustable time delay from 0.3 to 30 s.
  • If a voltage fault is detected, the corresponding relay (one undervoltage output/one overvoltage output) opens at the end of the time delay set by the user.
    In the absence of either neutral or phase, both relays open instantly without waiting for the end of the time delay set by the user.
  • On energization of the device with a detected measured fault, the relays stay open.

Note:

  • Tt 1: overvoltage threshold delay (adjustable on front panel)
  • Tt 2: undervoltage threshold delay (adjustable on front panel)

Operating Principle

Relays RM35TM50MW and RM35TM250MW monitor:

  • Status of the 3-phase supply
  • Temperature of motors with embedded PTC probes

The 3-phase supply control function monitors:

  • Correct sequence of phases L1, L2, and L3
  • Phase loss
  • As soon as phase sequence (L1, L2, and L3) and phase presence are considered to be correct, the output relay contact closes and LED R2 is lit.
  • If total failure or drop in amplitude of a phase (U measured < 100 V) or inversion of phase sequence is detected, the output relay contact opens and LED R2 goes out.
  • The result of the control is indicated by the status of output relay R2, NO contact 21-24 is open in the event of a fault.

RM35TM50MW/RM35TM250MW – 3-phase supply control

RM35TM50MW/RM35TM250MW – Temperature Control

  • The temperature control relay can take up to 6 PTC (positive temperature coefficient) probes wired in series between terminals T1 and T2.
  • A fault is declared when the resistance of the temperature sensing circuit exceeds 3100 Ω.
    Return to normal status is detected when the resistance is once again below 1650 Ω.
  • The result of the control is indicated by the status of the “temperature” output relay, NO contact 11-14 is open in the event of a fault.
  • Opening of the thermal sensing circuit, which has the same effect as a high temperature (resistance exceeds 3100 Ω), is therefore interpreted as a fault.
  • Total short-circuiting of the temperature probe(s), detected when resistance is less than 15 Ω ± 5 Ω, is treated as a fault.
  • LED R1 is on when the temperature is correct

Configuration

This configuration is considered when relay RM35TM250MW is energized.

  • Set the switch to the required operating mode:
    • Temperature control without memory
    • Temperature control with memory
  • On energization, placing the switch in one of the five intermediate positions holds the relay in the open contact state and the detected error is signaled by simultaneous flashing of the LEDs.
  • The position of the mode selector switch is taken into account on energization.
  • Any modification of its position during operation has no effect – the active configuration may therefore be different from that indicated by the switch – the RM35TM250MW operates normally but the change in configuration is signaled by simultaneous flashing of the three LEDs

RM35TM250MW – Motor temperature control via PTC probe with memory

  • Relay RM35TM250MW has a selector switch which allows the temperature control operating mode to be configured with or without memory.
  • In “memory” mode, when a fault is detected, the “temperature” relay locks in the open position.
  • As soon as the temperature returns to the correct value, the relay can be unlocked (reset), either by pressing the “Test/Reset” button (for at least 200 ms), or by closing a volt-free contact (for at least 200 ms) between terminal Y1 and T1 (without a parallel load).
  • Relay RM35TM250MW can also be reset by switching off the power (see reset time).

RM35TM250MW – Use of “Test/Reset” button

  • Relay version RM35TM250MW has a “Test/Reset” button which can be used to check that the temperature control function is working correctly and to reset this function after locking in “memory” mode.
  • The press and release times are 50 ms for both functions.
    When the temperature is normal, pressing the “Test/Reset” button simulates overheating, the “temperature” output relay contact is open and the <V< LED is off.
  • If “memory” mode is not active, “fault” indication is maintained for as long as the button is pressed.
  • If “memory” mode is active, “fault” indication is locked and the button needs to be released and pressed again to reset the function.
  • In “memory” mode, when a fault has been detected and the temperature has returned to normal, the “temperature” control relay can be unlocked (reset) by pressing the “Test/Reset” button.
