  • VME420

    Digital voltage and frequency relay for single-phase AC and DC systems

    The VME420 is a powerful, all-in-one unit for single-phase AC and DC systems for 0 to 300 V monitoring over/undervoltage and over/underfrequency. Values are displayed and changed via a digital seven-segment display and menu. Values are displayed as true RMS values, and many different delays can be set.

    The VME420 unit utilizes an auxiliary supply voltage to power itself. For the version that is powered off of the monitored line, please see the VME421H.

  • VMD258

    Voltage relay for three-phase AC systems

    The VMD258 series voltage relay monitors for undervoltage and overvoltage in threephase AC systems. Both overvoltage and undervoltage are monitored for simultaneously. Alarm values are set as a percentage of the system voltage (see ordering information for more). Power for the monitoring is derived from the monitored system; an external supply voltage is not required. Many different system voltage ratings are available, up to 690 VAC. 2 DPDT contact outputs are available.

    The device contains analog-only components and is not microprocessor controlled. The supply of the electronics and relays are isolated by means of double isolation. Special input transformers attenuate system interferences.

  • Key Features: VMD258

    • Overvoltage and undervoltage monitoring in three-phase AC systems up to 690 VAC
    • Analog-only device, non-microprocessor controlled; perfect for utilities and other mission critical areas
    • Overvoltage and undervoltage alarms operate simultaneously (window function)
    • Adjustable undervoltage alarm, 70 - 95% of rated system voltage
    • Adjustable overvoltage alarm, 105 - 130% of rated system voltage
    • 0 - 5 second adjustable time delay
    • 2 DPDT contact outputs, normally energized or de-energized depending on alarm type
    • Line-powered, no separate supply voltage required

  • Applications: VMD258

    • General applications requiring overvoltage / undervoltage protection
    • Utilities
    • Faciltiies and applications requiring non-microprocessor controlled monitoring equipment
    • Motors, pumps, generators
