Phase protection relay - FKV-24F | TENSE

Phase protection relays from the FKV series are designed to protect three-phase equipment, especially motors, from damage related to incorrect voltage values, asymmetry, phase failure, or incorrect phase sequence. FKV-24F operates in a wide range of 180-500 VAC and has a fixed asymmetry of 11%.

It ensures reliable operation of equipment with high power supply accuracy requirements and protects it from thermal and mechanical damage.

Functions and operating principle

Voltage asymmetry (11%)

• Monitors the difference between phase voltages.

• If asymmetry exceeds 11%, the relay switches off the output after about 1 s and opens the NO/COM contacts.

• When the difference drops to 5 V, the relay evaluates the condition as normal and resumes the output after a delay period.

Phase sequence check

• Correct phase sequence → the OUT LED lights up, the output is active (NO is closed).

• Incorrect phase sequence → the LED turns off and the output goes into fault state.

High voltage protection (U>)

• If the voltage exceeds 500 V, the high voltage indication is activated.

• If the condition lasts more than 2 s, the relay switches off the output.

• When the voltage drops 5 V below the U> limit, the relay starts a delay countdown and then resumes operation.

Low voltage protection (U<)

• If the voltage drops below 180 V, the low voltage indication is activated.

• If the condition does not end during the fault delay, the output will turn off.

• When the voltage rises 5 V above U<, the relay reactivates the output after a delay period.

Status indications

• 5 LEDs indicate:

  • relay status (OUT)

  • high voltage (U>)

  • low voltage (U<)

  • phase sequence

  • asymmetry/fault
