Trip Relay

250 Series DIN Rail and Wall Mounted Relays
A.C. Current with Adjustable Time Delay

250 series A.C. current protectors provide continuous surveillance of the monitored
circuit. When the current moves outside the setpoint limit, the relay operates. The
protector can be used to monitor over and under current conditions, load detection,
and for monitoring electric heating systems. An illuminated LED indicates when the
relay is energized. For 3 phase systems, the sequence of connection is not important.
Operation
A.C. current protectors provide continuous surveillance of the monitored circuit.
These products offer user adjustable trip point (setpoint) and time delay settings. The
setpoint adjustment range is between 40% and 120% of the nominal current. Input
currents can be via current transformers or direct up to 10A. An internal differential
setting of 1% reduces nuisance tripping if the measured signal is noisy or unstable.
When the measured current moves outside the setpoint limit, the relay will operate,
giving an alarm or initiation signal. An adjustable time delay is provided to prevent
Features the relay from tripping for a predetermined period to prevent nuisance tripping. The
units draw their operating power from a separate auxiliary supply input. Single

A.C. Voltage with Adjustable Time Delay

The A.C. voltage protectors provide continuous surveillance of the monitored circuit.
When the measured voltage moves outside the setpoint limit, the relay will operate
after the selected time delay, giving an alarm or initiation signal. Relays normally
energize on overvolts and de-energize on undervolts. An illuminated LED indicates
when the relay is energized.
Operation
A.C. voltage protectors offer user adjustable trip point (setpoint) and time delay
settings. The setpoint adjustment range is 25%, operating between 75% and 100% of
the nominal supply for under voltage units, and between 100% and 125% for the
over voltage units. The time delay setting adjustment range is typically 0 to 10
seconds, although longer delays are available. As soon as the monitored signal
moves outside of the setpoint limit, the time delay is activated, after which a trip will
occur. The time delay prevents the relay from tripping for a predetermined period to

standby supplies for Industrial, Hospital or Marine use.
Operation
Frequency protectors offer user adjustable frequency trip point (setpoint) and

Operation
Combined voltage and frequency protectors provide the most popular relay functions
in one convenient package. The products offer user adjustable trip point (setpoint)
for voltage and frequency, plus adjustable time delay settings. The setpoint
adjustment range is 25%, operating between 75% and 100% of the nominal supply

Phase Sequence and Phase Failure

The Crompton phase sequence and phase failure protector relays are designed to
monitor the correct phase rotation or sequence of three phase, 3 or 4 wire supply
systems and provide protection against incorrect phase sequence, loss of one phase,
and under voltage.
Operation
Rotating machines are particularly vulnerable to incorrect phase sequence. Three
phase motors can rotate in the wrong direction, potentially leading to physical
damage or the risk of injury to personnel, yet voltage and current readings may
appear normal. If one phase is lost because of a blown fuse, electric motors can
continue to operate (single phasing) which can result in severe electrical or
mechanical damage. For permanent installations, this relay should be used to
monitor the incoming supply, protecting all equipment against incorrect connection
at initial installation or after maintenance work. Rotating machines that cannot
Features tolerate reverse rotation or pose significant risk to personnel under this condition
should be individually protected with this relay. The possibility of incorrect supply
Three phase, 3 or 4 wire
connection is much more likely in portable equipment or marine applications.
LED trip indication
The phase sequence and phase failure protectors continuously monitor the three
Double pole relay contacts phase supply. With the correct phase sequence applied, the front panel LED will
Automatic reset illuminate and the output relay will be energized. An incorrect sequence or missing
phase will de-energize the relay, and the LED will be extinguished. If the supply
drops below 85% of its nominal voltage, this condition will also cause a trip.
Benefits
Note: If one phase is lost due to a blown fuse, some loads can re-generate the

Phase Balance
The 250 series phase balance protector module provides continuous surveillance of a
3 phase, 3 or 4 wire system and monitors the correct phase rotation or sequence of
three phase supply systems. The module protects against phase loss, reversal or
sequence, phase unbalance, and system under voltage.
Operation
Rotating machines are particularly vulnerable to incorrect phase sequence. Three
phase motors can rotate in the wrong direction, potentially leading to physical
damage or the risk of injury to personnel, yet voltage and current readings may
appear normal. If one phase is lost because of a blown fuse, electric motors can
continue to operate (single phasing) which can result in severe electrical or
mechanical damage. This relay has the added advantage that it will detect the
phantom or regenerated phase that can be caused by a single phase failure on some
equipment or when running motors at low load levels.
Features An unbalanced supply voltage can lead to temperature rises in motors. An unbalance
Three phase, 3 or 4 wire voltage as little as 10% can increase operating temperature to150% of normal. For

Reverse Power (Current)

The reverse power protector provides continuous surveillance for A.C. generators
operating in parallel or for boosting mains supplies. On site adjustment of the trip
point and time delay ensures accurate protection against ‘motoring’ in the event of
engine failure and prevents tripping from surges during synchronizing.
Operation
Reverse power protectors provide continuous surveillance of AC generators against
motoring. Reverse power relays are used to detect the failure of the prime mover
(engine) when active energy (Watts) flows into the generator causing rotation - the
set will operate like an electric motor, which can cause significant mechanical
damage. This relay offers an adjustable reverse power setpoint between 2% and 20%
of nominal power, and time delay adjustment range of 0 to 20 seconds.
As soon as the reverse power level increases above the setpoint limit, the time delay
is activated, after which a trip will occur. The time delay prevents the relay from

Synchro-Check (paralleling)
The synchro-check relay can be used to assist in the semi-automatic paralleling of
two AC power systems. The volt-free relay contacts change state when the voltage
level, phase relationship and frequency are within the selected synchronizing limits.
Connecting two electrical systems that are not closely matched can cause expensive
damage and disturbance to the electrical system. Using this relay will ensure that
damage will not occur.
Operation
As part of a manual control system, the operator will make adjustments to the
generator voltage (excitation) and frequency (engine speed) using a synchroscope or
lamps, and will then attempt to manually close the breaker. This synchro check
protector will qualify that the two systems are closely matched before permitting the
breaker to close. As part of an automatic synchronizing arrangement, this relay can
be used as an independent backup or checking device to ensure the two systems are

D.C. Voltage
DC voltage protectors provide continuous surveillance of the monitored voltage
circuit, typically a battery supply or charging circuit. When the measured voltage
moves outside the set-point limits, the relay will operate after the selected time delay
or differential, giving an alarm and/or initiation signal. The protectors offer protection
for under voltage, over voltage and battery level control.
Operation
DC voltage protectors offer user adjustable trip point (setpoint) and time delay
settings. The time delay setting adjustment range is typically 0 to 10 seconds,
although longer delays up to 30 seconds are available. As soon as the monitored
signal moves outside of the setpoint limit, the time delay is activated, after which a
trip will occur. The time delay prevents the relay from tripping for a predetermined
period to prevent nuisance tripping. The products also feature an internal differential

Thermistor Trip
Many motors, transformers and generators are fitted with positive temperature co-
efficient thermistor temperature sensors, the addition of a thermistor trip relay will
provide full protection against sustained overload, single phasing, locked rotor,
blocked ventilation and high ambient temperature. Thermistor trip relays
continuously monitor the working temperature inside electrical equipment. When the
temperature exceeds a safe limit, the relay can be used to shut equipment down until
it regains a safe operating temperature.
Operation
Thermistors are simple low cost temperature sensors. The thermistor trip protector
operates by de-energizing a relay when the thermistors detect a critical temperature
condition. An illuminated green LED indicates when the temperature is within normal
working limits. Any number of thermistors may be used in series connection
providing the resistance at normal working temperature is less than 1500 ohms.
Features
There are no user adjustments on this relay.

Hot Spot 3 Temperature Relay

The Hot Spot 3 relay accepts up to three inputs from resistance temperature
detectors (RTD) and provides up to three user adjustable trip points which can be
used to initiate alarms, cooling systems or shutdown. The relay is ideally suited for
the protection of electric motor windings, transformers, generator windings and
bearing temperature. The analog output can be used for remote monitoring of
high temperatures.
Operation
RTD temperature sensors are often fitted inside electric motors to detect hot spots in
the windings or the bearings. RTD sensors are popular because they offer a good
accuracy for a reasonable price. The same sensors can be used inside transformers,
generator sets, gas turbines or as part of a process control system. Hot spots can be
caused by many conditions, such as overloads, over voltage, unbalanced supply,
worn bearings, ineffective cooling, poor ventilation, shorted turns, insulation

D.C. Millivolts / Thermocouple

The 250 series millivolt protectors provide continuous surveillance of high DC
currents when used with current shunts, or can be used to monitor temperatures in
conjunction with thermocouples. The protector incorporates a user adjustable trip
and time delay which can be set to initiate an alarm when the input exceeds the
desired level.
Operation
When used in conjunction with current shunts the millivolt protector can be used to
monitor battery charging currents, current drain or over/under current. Monitoring of
under / over temperature and detection of hotspots can be achieved in applications
using thermocouples. All industry standard shunts, and all popular thermocouples
are supported.
The millivolt protector relays offer user adjustable trip point (setpoint) and time delay
settings. The time delay setting adjustment range is typically 0 to 10 seconds,
Features although longer delays are available. As soon as the monitored signal moves outside
High and low trip models of the setpoint limit, the time delay is activated, after which a trip will occur. The time
delay prevents the relay from tripping for a predetermined period to prevent

D.C. Transducer Trip

DC transducer protectors provide continuous surveillance of the DC process voltage
or current signal. When the standard process signals move outside the setpoint limit
the relay will operate. Combining the protection relay with a measuring transducer
such as the Crompton ‘Paladin’ range can form specialized control products
whenever self contained relays are not available.
Operation
The DC transducer protector relay offers user adjustable trip point (setpoint) and time
delay settings. The time delay setting adjustment range is typically 0 to 10 seconds,
although longer delays are available. As soon as the monitored signal moves outside
of the setpoint limit, the time delay is activated, after which a trip will occur. The time
delay prevents the relay from tripping for a predetermined period to prevent

Speed Sensing
The 250 series speed sensing relay monitors rotating equipment and provides three
output contacts which can be used to initiate alarm or shutdown signals. The relay
also provides a tachometer output for speed indication. Speed sensing relays are
ideally suited for engine and gas turbine monitoring and the protection of
generator sets.
Operation
The speed sensing protector monitors the speed of rotation using a low cost
magnetic pickup. Speed sensors are often used in generator set engines, gas
turbines, motors, gear boxes or any rotating machines. The relay will detect under
speed, over speed and stopped conditions, and the setpoint relays can be used to
raise an alarm or shut down the equipment. The relay provides three user adjustable
trip levels with LED relay state indication and a speed indicator output signal.
The product also offers an analog output that can be used to monitor or display the
Features speed. The product operates from the 12V or 24V dc battery supply, and speed is
1mA analog output measured and calculated from the number of sensor pulses per revolution. Since the
sensor is magnetic, a rotating steel component can be used, such as the flywheel
3 adjustable setpoints
which has gear teeth. This will result in a large number of pulses per revolution, and
Adjustable time delay lead to greater accuracy.
Internal differential The protector continuously monitors the rotation speed, and updates the analog
LED trip indication output signal. An output of 0.75 mA indicates normal speed (100%) while 1mA
indicates 133% of nominal speed. The calibration point can easily be user adjusted.
Automatic reset Three setpoint control adjustments allow setting of the desired speed limits for
3 single pole relays cranking, under speed and over speed.
