"The Next Generation in Surge Protection!"

 

Phase Monitors-Motor and Pump Protection

Motor and pump protection is critical to maintaining process uptime. In our mission to provide total protection packages from service entrance surge suppression, point of protection for sensitive and mission critical equipment to the cutting edge technology of the IL-GTT Ground Transient Terminator. Vortex Technologies offers the best in single and three-phase monitors and protection devices.

Model 77C is a fully programmable electronic overload relay designed to monitor single-phase systems. It can be used as a stand-alone product or the communication port can be used to form a network and monitor the motors from a laptop or desktop computer or other control system. Applications include conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, pumps, saws, grinders, and other single-phase electric motors.

The Model 77C includes a built-in current transformer (CT) which will handle applications from 2-90 Amps. An external current transformer can be implemented to handle applications up to 700 Amps. The following 15 parameters can be viewed from the three digit alphanumeric LED or from a network computer: low voltage set point, high voltage set point, CT size/Loops setting, over current trip point, under current trip point, trip class (5, 10, 25, 20, 30, or linear), Rapid Cycle Timer (RD1), Overload Restart Delay (RD2), Under-load Restart Delay (RD3), number of starts after an overload (manual or automatic), RS485 address, Number of restarts after an under-load fault, under-load trip delay, linear over current trip delay, restart delay time waits (RD2/RD3). Both the L1-L2 voltage and the line current can also be viewed while the motor is running.

The Model 77C can be used with an optional RS485 module allowing up to 99 Model 77C or Model 777 units to be linked together. From the computer, an operator can control the motor, view the operating parameters, or log information. Software and RS485 module sold separately.

The Model 460 is designed to protect 3-phase loads from damaging power conditions. The 460ıs wide operating range combined with UL and CE compliance provides protection for a wide variety of applications.

A unique micro-controller based voltage and phase sensing circuit constantly monitors the three phase voltages to detect harmful power line conditions. When a harmful condition is detected, the Motor Saver's output relay is deactivated after a specified trip delay. The output relay reactivates after power line conditions return to an acceptable level for a specified amount of time (Restart Delay). The trip and restart delays prevent nuisance tripping due to rapidly fluctuating power line conditions

The Model 460 automatically senses whether it is connected to a 190 to 240V 60 Hz system, a 440-480V 60 Hz system, or a 380 to 416V 50 Hz system. An adjustment is provided to set the nominal line voltage from 190-240 or 380-480 VAC. Other adjustments include a 1-30 second trip delay, a 1-500 second restart delay, and a 2-8% voltage unbalance trip point adjustment.

The Model 777 is a fully programmable electronic overload relay designed to monitor three phase systems. It can be used as a stand-alone product or the communication port can be used to form a network and monitor the motors from a laptop or desktop computer.

The Model 777 includes three built-in current transformers (CT), which will handle applications from 2-90 amps. External current transformers can be implemented to handle applications up to 800 amps. The following 16 parameters can be viewed from the three digit alphanumeric LED or from a network computer: low voltage set point, high voltage set point, voltage unbalance set point, CT size/Loops setting, over current trip point, under current trip point, current unbalance trip point, trip class (5, 10, 15, 20, 30), Rapid Cycle Timer (RD1), Overload Restart Delay (RD2), Under-load Restart Delay (RD3), number of starts after an overload, unbalance, single phasing (manual or), RS485 address, number of restarts after an under-load fault, under-load trip delay, and ground fault trip point. Individual line voltages and current levels, as well as average voltage and average current can also be viewed while the motor is running.

The Model 777 is equipped with a RS485 port allowing up to 99 Model 777, 77C, or Model 601 units to be linked together. From the computer, an operator can control the motor, view the operating parameters, view the last faults by time & date, or log information. Software and RS485 module sold separately.
