Applications for AG and AGL Ground Fault Sensors

Since the late 1960's, the National Electric Code has required Ground Fault Circuit Protection in many areas; each revision cycle seems to add new requirements. The requirements for personnel protection in bathrooms, construction sites and for most outdoor mounted outlets has greatly reduced the number of deaths by electrocution. More recent versions have added requirements for equipment protection, which are designed to prevent damage from phase to earth faults.

Monitoring a three phase circuit for ground fault current requires more than comparing the hot and neutral loads. NK Technologies' sensors monitor all current carrying conductors at the same time. If more current is used at the load than is being returned to the source, there is earth leakage. This leakage can be detected by using our extremely sensitive ground fault detection products.

Ground Fault Sensors Can Prevent Costly Shutdowns in Industrial Processes

NK Technologies' ground fault sensors allow the system designer to choose what the sensor output will do if a fault to ground is sensed. The output contact can be selected to close, operating a shunt trip circuit breaker, or a contact can open the circuit to a contactor coil. Both would shut down the monitored load.

In many industrial processes, shutting down the process would create huge maintenance issues. For example, it is common to use heat trace to keep material flowing through a pipe at a consistent temperature. De-energizing the heat cable would likely damage the product. Using an NK Technologies' sensor to trip an alarm may prevent costly material losses and allow the system operator to take preventative action at a more convenient time.

Model 777-P2 Series Overload Relays

The Model 777-P2 Series is a Family of Fully Programmable Electronic Overload Relays. They are designed to monitor and protect any 3-phase 200-480VAC (500-600VAC for 777-575-P2) motor drawing 2-800 full load amps (external CTs are required above 90 amps). They provide unsurpassed protection from faulty voltage, underload and overload conditions. Common applications include conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, saws and grinders, fan motors and almost any pumping application.

The 777-P2 Series units can be used as a stand-alone product or the RS-485 communications port can be used to form a network to communicate with a PC, PLC or SCADA system. The 777-P2 units can be used with CIO modules produced by SymCom for several types of communication protocols. Up to 99 model 777-P2 units can be networked together and monitored and controlled by SymCom's Solutions software. The units can also be connected to SymCom's remote monitors for a simple, cost-effective way to meet new requirements for arc-flash safety.

The 777-P2 Series units incorporate a 3-digit LED display that is used for programming, providing real-time operational information, and displaying diagnostic codes to aid in troubleshooting a fault condition. The unit's many features include enhanced trip classes beyond the NEMA standard trip classes. The settable trip class range is 2-60, with or without jam protection, and a secondary linear trip delay can be set with a range of 0-60 seconds. If both trip class and linear trip delay are set, the 777-P2 will follow the faster trip time. Another feature is the automatic dry-well recovery timer that allows the unit to automatically select a restart delay based on the last cycle's run time. This allows the 777-P2 to optimize restart delay times. The units can be pre-programmed with a 9-volt battery prior to actual installation. This can save a lot of time during initial installations and avoid subsequent service calls when commissioning new projects.

Two-Input Liquid Level Control Relays

The PC-xxx-LLC-CZ is a Liquid Level Control Relay used to control conductive liquid pumping operations in a pump-up or pump-down application. The unit comes in two different voltage ranges. The model PC-100-LLC-CZ is for 95-120VAC applications and the model PC-200-LLC-CZ is for 190-240VAC applications.

The unit has an adjustable sensitivity knob (4.7-100K ohms) that is set according to the resistance level at which you want the probes (sold separately) to sense the conductive liquid. The unit has a built-in debounce time delay that prevents the relay from energizing if the probe resistance momentarily goes above or below the sensitivity setpoint (due to liquid splashing in the tank).

The unit operates its internal relay based on inputs from a high and low probe and a common reference (when a conductive tank is used) or common probe (when a non-conductive tank is used). Pump-up application: when the liquid level drops and the low probe resistance increases above the sensitivity setpoint, the relay energizes to run the pump and fill the tank. When the liquid level rises and the high probe resistance decreases below the sensitivity setpoint, the relay de-energizes to stop the pump. Pump-down application: when the liquid level rises and the high probe resistance decreases below the sensitivity setpoint, the relay energizes to run the pump and empty the tank. When the liquid level drops and the low probe resistance increases above the sensitivity setpoint, the relay de-energizes to stop the pump. The unit can also be configured to work with a single probe input and a common reference (or common probe).
