20VB
The MODEL 20VB 3-Phase Voltage Band Monitor provides critical protection for industrial systems. This device monitors phase loss, phase reversal, over/under voltage, and voltage unbalance across an operating voltage range of 190-480 VAC. Its adjustable trip delays, ranging from 1 to 30 seconds, and restart delays, from 1 to 500 seconds, allow for precise system integration and minimize nuisance tripping. The fail-safe relay operation ensures equipment safety by dropping contacts upon fault detection or power loss, enhancing operational reliability. Compatible with both Wye and Delta systems, it does not require a neutral connection, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. With SPDT 10A at 240VAC resistive output contacts, it integrates seamlessly into control circuits. This monitor is designed for reliable performance in diverse industrial environments, offering a 5-year unconditional warranty for sustained operational integrity and peace of mind.
A microcontroller-based universal 3-phase voltage band monitor for
protecting 3-phase motors of any size from abnormal power conditions.
The Model 20VB can detect under voltage, over voltage, voltage
unbalance, reverse phase, and single-phasing even when regenerated
voltage is present. Status of the 3-phase system is indicated by LEDs.
The Model 20VB is UL Recognized in the U.S. and Canada. Relay operation
is fail-safe, i.e. the SPDT output contacts drop out when a fault
condition or loss of power occurs. Under and over voltage trip points
are both adjustable. The under voltage adjustment has two scales,
185-240VAC and 370-480VAC. The over voltage adjustment also has two
scales, 208-264VAC and 416-528VAC. The Model 20VB will auto-range to the
appropriate scale. A trip delay adjustment for preventing nuisance
tripping during power fluctuations and a restart delay adjustment for
preventing short cycling in compressor applications have also been
provided. Voltage unbalance trip point is fixed at 6%. The Model 20VB
does not require a neutral connection and can be used on either Wye or
Delta systems. Operating power for the Model 20VB is drawn from phases A
and B.
