What is a Monitoring Relay?
We are Carlo Gavazzi Monitoring Relay Suppliers, Distributors & Importers in Mumbai, Gujarat, India. A Monitoring Relay is essentially an electrically operated device applied in electric installations to supervise the level of current, voltage, phase sequences, and other parameters for protection and economization purposes. The basic task that it undertakes continuously by observing these parameters is protection against damage from abnormalities such as overcurrents, undercurrents, voltage dips, or surges to electrical equipment.
Monitoring Relays are designed to ensure the safety and efficiency of your electrical systems by providing accurate over- or under-current monitoring. Available in two versatile types—DIB01 for DIN-rail mounting and PIB01 for plug-in modules—these relays cater to various industrial applications with ease.
Types of Monitoring Relays
- DIB01: Designed for DIN-rail mounting, this type provides direct current measurement or via a current transformer. Suitable for installations requiring compact and easy-to-mount solutions.
- PIB01: A plug-in module variant that offers similar monitoring capabilities as the DIB01, with the added flexibility of quick module replacements and adjustments
Product Description
The DIB01 and PIB01 are precise TRMS AC/DC monitoring relays designed for overcurrent or undercurrent detection, selectable via a DIP switch. They can measure current directly or through a current transformer. Thanks to the built-in latch function, the relay output can maintain its ON position. Additionally, an inhibit function is available to prevent relay operation during undesirable conditions, such as maintenance or transitions. The relays feature LED indicators that display the status of the alarm and output relay. With the integrated shunt, they can monitor loads up to 10 A AC/DC.
