Over/Under Motor Load Monitor

421

The Model 421 Over/Under Motor Load Monitor offers essential protection for industrial motor applications. This device continuously monitors motor current, detecting both overload and underload conditions to prevent equipment damage and operational downtime. Its adjustable trip delay, ranging from 0.3 to 180 seconds, allows for precise response tailoring to specific motor characteristics and load fluctuations. A configurable restart delay, up to 4 hours, aids in system recovery and prevents immediate re-engagement after a fault. The monitor provides a 4-20mA current output, enabling integration with chart recorders and control systems for data logging and remote monitoring. With an operating temperature range of -20° to 131° F and transient protection up to 2500V, the Model 421 ensures reliable performance in diverse industrial environments. Its robust design supports both single-phase and three-phase motor systems, contributing to enhanced operational longevity and efficiency.
