Earth Leakage Relays

Earth Leakage Relays offered in the 373-ELR series are residual current devices used to detect potentially dangerous earth fault currents before damage is caused. An undetected fault current may lead to cables overheating, which could start a fire. If high fault currents are involved, hazardous voltages may also appear on earthed equipment, putting lives at risk.

Earth Leakage Relays allow the fault current to be continuously monitored and compared with the user selectable leakage level. Should the leakage exceed this level, the relay will trip to indicate a fault condition. With a very fast response time of under 40ms, the supply can be disconnected before serious damage can occur.

This product is intended to provide a high degree of earth leakage protection and monitoring for any electrical equipment, specifically motors and their control gear, generator sets and transformers.
