3UG Monitoring Relays for Electrical and Additional Measurements
Line monitoring
■
Overview
Solid-state line monitoring relays provide maximum protection
for mobile machines and plants or for unstable networks. Net-
work and voltage faults can be detected early and rectified be-
fore far greater damage ensues.
Depending on the version, the relays monitor phase sequence,
phase failure with and without N conductor monitoring, phase
unbalance, undervoltage or overvoltage.
Phase unbalance is evaluated as the difference between the
greatest and the smallest phase voltage relative to the greatest
phase voltage. Undervoltage or overvoltage exists when at least
one phase voltage deviates by 20 % from the set rated system
voltage or the directly set limit values are overshot or undershot.
The rms value of the voltage is measured.
With the 3UG46 17 or 3UG46 18 relay, a wrong direction of rota-
tion can also be corrected automatically.

Function
3UG45 11 monitoring relays
The 3UG45 11 phase sequenced relay monitors the phase se-
quence in a three-phase network. No adjustments are required
for operation. The device has an internal power supply and
works using the closed-circuit principle. If the phase sequence
at the terminals L1-L2-L3 is correct, the output relay picks up af-
ter the delay time has elapsed and the LED is lit. If the phase se-
quence is wrong, the output relay remains in its rest position.
Note:
When one phase fails, connected loads (motor windings,
lamps, transformers, coils, etc.) create a feedback voltage at the
terminal of the failed phase due to the network coupling. Be-
cause the 3UG45 11 relays are not resistant to voltage feedback,
such a phase failure is not detected. Should this be required,
then the 3UG45 12 monitoring relay must be used.
Correct phase sequence
Wrong phase sequence
3UG45 12 monitoring relays
The 3UG45 12 line monitoring relay monitors three-phase net-
works with regard to phase sequence, phase failure and phase
unbalance of 10 %. Thanks to a special measuring method, a
phase failure is reliably detected in spite of the wide voltage
range from 160 ... 690 V AC and feedback through the load of up
to 90 %. The device has an internal power supply and works us-
ing the closed-circuit principle. No adjustments are required.
When the mains voltage is switched on, the green LED is lit. If the
phase sequence at the terminals L1-L2-L3 is correct, the output
relay picks up. If the phase sequence is wrong, the red LED
flashes and the output relay remains in its rest position. If a phase
fails, the red LED is permanently lit and the output relay drops.
Note:
The red LED is a fault diagnostic indicator and does not
show the current relay status. The 3UG45 12 monitoring relay is
suitable for line frequencies of 50/60 Hz.
