Brodersen's MXC-10 Single phase current relay is a relay for monitoring off load in applications with a relative low AC- and DC current up to 2A AC/DC. The relay can with advantages be used as an alarm relay for detection of short-lived overloading via the latch function. The relay can also be used for larger AC- currents with an external shunt or a current transformer.
A relay for monitoring AC or DC Current via an internal shunt.
The relay is delivered in two variations for over- or under-current.
Over-current:
When the monitored current rises and reaches the determined
setpoint, which is adjusted on the front panel, the relay energises.
When the current drops and passes the setpoint, minus the hysteresis which is adjustable on the front, the relay de-energises.
Under-current:
When the monitored current drops and reaches the determined
setpoint, which is adjusted on the front panel, the relay energises.
When the current rises and passes the setpoint, plus the hysteresis
which is adjustable on the front, the relay de-energises
There is also a latch function where the relay after energising will
remain energised, regardless of input current, until the latch jumper
or the operating voltage is disconnected. Typically used in safety
circuits. The contact function of the relay can also be inverted.
The relay has an analogue, 2-10V DC, output which when connected to an external voltmeter can be used for the accurate
adjustment of setpoint.
