Patented,
State-of-the-Art Current Sensing
The
E3 overload relay uniquely combines the technologies of
hall-effect current sensors with signal processing circuitry
and software algorithms for precise, true RMS current
measurement of the individual phase and ground fault
currents. Current measurement is accurately reported over
a broad frequency range of 20 to 250 hz. There
are two versions available, the E3 and the E3 Plus, enabling
you to choose the appropriate device for your application.

Integrated
I/O
The
E3 overload relay provides inputs and outputs that can
simplify the control architecture and minimize hardware
requirements. The inputs
allow the master device such as a programmable controller
to monitor the status of typical devices like short circuit
interrupters, contactors, pilot devices and sensors. The
output relays can be used by the master device to operate
motor starting contactors, pilot lights, circuit breaker
shunt trips and brake contactors. The
monitor parameter group provides motor performance data,
diagnostic and device status information.
DeviceNet Features
