Earth Continuity Monitoring Relay

The ampcontrol earth continuity relay ensures safety and as nzs2081 compliance through a new method of earth continuity protection that uses a trip curve to discriminate between earth disconnection faults and incremental increases in the earth return impedance that occurs due to equipment degradation.
Earth continuity monitoring relay. The ecm3 relay is capable of monitoring earth continuity continuously and indefinitely when exposed to voltages up to 45vac on the pilot core with internal heating having no effect. Complementary product categories. A pilot cable is connected to earth via a diode the pcm177 detects open and short circuits between the pilot and earth conductors of. Ecm series earth continuity monitor 230v 1 5 ohms.
Rob earth continuity relay mda ex ib 2743 qld 92 7126xu 1. Monitored earth rcd protected socket assemblies with integral poag sockets for 230v single phase or 400v three phase applications in current ratings of 16a 32a 63a or 125a. Earth continuity relay model i c. If however the pilot is coupled with higher voltages the relay s thermal overload trip begins to function.
The thermal overload maintains an inverse time. It provides earth continuity protection in accordance with as nzs 2081 ensuring the earth connection through a trailing reeling cable is maintained. 27 0 11 624 3317 fax.

The gcm 52 monitor is mounted in a compact plastic case and is connected via two molex plugs. The pcm177 pilot cable monitor is an earth continuity relay. The earth continuity monitoring system consists of a monitor remote module and monitor protection filter. Moni tors are available in two types of enclosure as described below.
Description the rob earth continuity relay has been designed to as 2081 2 1988 to monitor the earth continuity of a trailing cable in an underground mining operation. An earth continuity relay is designed to provide earth continuity protection. The ic3 utilises microprocessor technology to provide a greater level of stability over longer pilot cables by using digital filtering techniques. 27 0 11 624 2382 e mail.
The relay has been approved to be intrinsically safe and is suitable for use in zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas. This is the preferred model for all new installations a typical applica. Nhs specification monitored earth sockets.
