Both high and low power trip relays with adjustable start up delay and individual trip timers are standard features.
The low power trip, when used to detect dry running, is up to ten times more sensitive than that of conventional undercurrent relays.
The 4-20mA analogue output and individual trip relays allow the flexibility of pump motor control and performance monitoring via external instruments such as computers, chart recorders or data loggers.
The high power trip is provided for the detection of problems such as overloads, jammed impellers, bad bearings or blocked outlets and a low power trip provides detection of low load or no flow conditions such as cavitation or loss of prime.
The product is compatible with 3 phase motors ranging in size up to 373 kW, operating on supplies between 208V and up to 575V.
A single phase version is also available.
The unit is easy to set up with the front panel keypad and display with all setting seen at the touch of a button.
A unique range finder toroid allows easy range set up, particularly when installing small pump motors.
Flexible reset facilities include LOCAL - a button on the control front panel, REMOTE - via low current relay of switch and AUTO - with a link on the rear connector.
The PMP-25 is suited to a wide range of applications in industry and works extremely well with tasks such as protecting pumps of all types, including seal-less or magnetic drive, centrifugal, positive displacement, process and sewage pumps.
