Universal power cell for motor load control
The latest addition to an innovative range of high performance "Hall Effect" power sensors for motor load control has been released by sensing specialist Vydas International.
Display configurations include percentage full load, horsepower or kilowatts.
Both high and low power trip relays with adjustable start up delay and individual trip timers are standard features.
The low power trip, when used to detect dry running, is up to ten times more sensitive than that of conventional undercurrent relays.
The 4-20mA analogue output and individual trip relays allow the flexibility of pump motor control and performance monitoring via external instruments such as computers, chart recorders or data loggers.
The high power trip is provided for the detection of problems such overloads, jammed impellers, bad bearings or blocked outlets and a low power trip provides detection of low load or no flow conditions such as cavitation or loss of prime.
The product is compatible with three-phase motors ranging in size up to 373kW, operating on supplies between 208 and 575V.
A single phase version is also available.
The unit is easy to set up with the front panel keypad and display with all setting seen at the touch of a button.
A unique range finder toroid allows easy range set up, particularly when installing small pump motors.
Flexible reset facilities include: "local" - a button on the control front panel; "remote" - via low current relay of switch; and "auto" - with a link on the rear connector.
The PMP25 is suited to a wide range of applications in industry and works extremely well with tasks such as protecting pumps of all types, including seal-less or magnetic drive, centrifugal, positive displacement, process and sewage pumps.
In addition, monitoring electrical power and motor load, allows the product to be used to solve production problems like jammed impellers or bad bearings, in fact also anywhere electric motors are used, such as conveyers, fans, compressors, rollers, grinders etc. Request a free brochure from Vydas International Marketing ...
