Relay eliminates phase sequence and loss
problems
Carlo Gavazzi has introduced its new DPA51 monitoring relay, which eliminates phase sequence and phase loss problems in three-phase systems.
Detecting phase sequence failure completely eliminates the risk of incorrect rotation of a motor In response to this Carlo Gavazzi has introduced its new DPA51 monitoring relay, which eliminates phase sequence and phase loss problems in three-phase systems

Modular approach to monitoring relays
Carlo Gavazzi has launched its new modular concept D and P Series 1-phase AC/DC over-current and over-voltage monitoring relays
Total and partial loss detection, even where a regenerated voltage is present, prevents a multitude of problems that can occur during a single failure, such as overheating of motors and loss of phase.
As a result the DPA51 is suited for lifts, cranes and escalators, and any application where it is vital that phase rotation is absolutely correct.
The DPA51 detects regenerative voltage up to 70% of the mains nominal voltage (phase-neutral).
The device monitors its own three-phase power supply and the relay operates when all the phases are present and the phase sequence is correct.
The relay releases when one phase neutral voltage drops below 70% of the other phase-neutral voltages or when the phase sequence is wrong.
LED indicators show when the relay and power supply are on.
The relay measures only 17.5 x 81 x 67.5mm in size and its space saving housing is suitable for DIN rail mounting for both back and front panel configurations.
In addition when mounted in larger industrial electrical panels, it can provide the same functionality as devices up to three times its size.
