18-208/240-400Hz

The MODEL 18 3-Phase Monitor, SKU 18-208/240-400, provides essential protection for industrial systems. Designed for 208/240VAC nominal AC at 400Hz, it detects phase loss, low voltage, and phase reversal, safeguarding critical equipment. Its automatic reset functionality minimizes downtime, while adjustable trip delays from 1-30 seconds and restart delays from 1-300 seconds allow for precise system integration. The unit features SPDT 10 amp output contacts, ensuring reliable control. With a compact form factor and DIN rail or surface mount options, installation is flexible. This monitor maintains operational integrity across a wide -20° to +131° F temperature range, offering consistent performance in demanding environments. Its robust design and precise monitoring capabilities contribute to enhanced system longevity and reduced maintenance requirements, making it a valuable component for maintaining continuous operation.

The Model 18 continuously monitors 3-phase power lines for abnormal
conditions. When properly adjusted, the Model 18 monitor will detect
phase loss on a loaded motor even when regenerated voltage is present.
This device consists of a microcontroller with a 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. An adjustable
restart delay prevents short cycling in compressor applications and an
adjustable trip delay prevents nuisance tripping during power
fluctuations. The Model 18 does not require a neutral connection and
can be used with Wye or Delta systems. Voltage ranges are sufficiently
wide to allow for proper adjustment to existing conditions. Both FAULT
and NORM condition indicators are provided to aid in adjustment and
system trouble-shooting. The Model 18 is UL Recognized in the U.S. and
Canada and is available with optional gold flashed silver contacts for
low current applications.
