Phase-sequence Phase-loss Relay

K8DS-PH
Three-phase Phase-sequence Phase-loss
Relay Using Voltage Detection Method
• Lineup includes a 17.5-mm slim, compact model.
• Greater resistance to inverter noise.
• Distinguishes between correct phases, phase sequence, and phase
loss when power is turned ON.
• Supports phase loss detection when the motor is operating.
• Output status can be monitored using LED indicator.
• Ideal to prevent reverse operation of motors.

●Relationship of Mounting Distance between K8DS-PH Relays

and Ambient Temperature (Reference Values)
The following diagram shows the relationship between the mounting distances and the
ambient temperature.
If the relay is used with an ambient temperature that exceeds these values, the
temperature of the K8DS may rise and shorten the life of the internal components.

Note: 1. The K8DS-PH1 output contacts are normally operative.

2. The Relay will not operate if the input voltage drops below
70% of the minimum input value because L2 and L3 are
also used to provide power.
3. Phase loss cannot be detected on the load side because
this detection is based on the voltage.
