Earth Leakage Relay

      Description


      Here's a detailed product description for an Earth Leakage Relay (ELR) in Markdown format.

      Earth Leakage Relay (ELR) - Uncompromising Safety. Advanced Protection.

      Safeguard your personnel and valuable assets with our state-of-the-art Earth Leakage Relay (ELR). Designed to detect and mitigate dangerous earth faults in electrical installations, our ELR is a critical component for ensuring unparalleled safety, preventing equipment damage, and maintaining operational continuity.

      Earth leakage currents, often undetectable by standard circuit breakers, can lead to severe consequences including electrocution, electrical fires, and extensive equipment damage. Our Earth Leakage Relay provides rapid, reliable, and precise detection of these hazardous currents, initiating immediate corrective action to protect lives and infrastructure.

      Key Features

      • High-Sensitivity Earth Fault Detection: Precisely monitors for even minute leakage currents, far below the threshold of standard overcurrent devices, ensuring early detection of potential hazards.
      • Adjustable Trip Current (IΔn): Offers a wide range of selectable trip current settings (e.g., 30mA to 30A), allowing customization to suit specific application requirements and comply with varying safety standards.
      • Adjustable Time Delay (t): Incorporates a user-configurable time delay (e.g., 0 to 5 seconds) to prevent nuisance tripping from momentary current surges, ensuring system stability while maintaining critical protection.
      • Continuous Self-Monitoring / Self-Test Function: Built-in diagnostics continuously monitor the relay's operational integrity, indicating any internal faults and ensuring readiness for protection. Includes a dedicated "Test" button for manual verification.
      • Clear Indication (LEDs / LCD): Features intuitive LED indicators (e.g., Power, Trip, Fault, Healthy) or an advanced LCD display to provide instant status updates and fault information, simplifying troubleshooting.
      • Auxiliary Contacts (NO/NC): Equipped with configurable Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) output contacts for tripping associated circuit breakers, contactors, or for remote signaling to SCADA/BMS systems.
      • Compatible with External Core Balance Current Transformers (CBCTs): Designed to work seamlessly with a range of external toroidal (ring-type) current transformers, accommodating various cable sizes and multi-phase configurations.
      • Manual and Remote Reset Options: Allows for local manual reset after a trip, with some models offering remote reset capabilities for enhanced operational flexibility in distributed systems.
      • Robust Industrial Design: Housed in a durable, compact enclosure suitable for harsh industrial environments, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
      • DIN Rail Mountable: Standardized mounting allows for quick and easy integration into existing or new electrical panels and enclosures.

      Benefits

      • Enhanced Personnel Safety: Provides critical protection against electric shock and electrocution by rapidly disconnecting power upon detecting a hazardous earth fault.
      • Prevention of Equipment Damage and Fires: Minimizes the risk of electrical fires and permanent damage to expensive machinery and infrastructure caused by sustained leakage currents.
      • Reduced Downtime and Operational Costs: By preventing major failures and facilitating quick fault identification, our ELR helps reduce unplanned outages and associated repair costs.
      • Compliance with Safety Regulations: Helps your facility meet stringent national and international electrical safety standards and regulations (e.g., IEC 60947-2 Annex M, IEC 62020).
      • Flexible Customization and Easy Installation: Adjustable parameters and standard mounting simplify configuration and integration into diverse electrical systems.
      • Reliable and Continuous Protection: Self-monitoring features and robust construction ensure consistent, dependable operation when it matters most.
