Note: All pins are set to OFF by default. 6 1 K8DT-AS Setting Method Setting Current The current knob (SV) is used to set the current. The current can be set to 10% to 100% of the maximum setting range. Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the same level.) Use this as a guide to set the current. The maximum setting range will differ depending on the model and the input terminal. Example: K8DT-AS3 Using Input Terminals I3-COM The maximum setting range will be 200 A AC and the setting range will be 20 to 200 A. Hysteresis Hysteresis is set using the hysteresis knob (HYS) The setting range is 5 to 50% of the operating value. Example: Maximum of 200 A AC, Current Set Value (SV) of 50%, and Overcurrent Operation Operation will be at 100 A and resetting at 90 A when the hysteresis (HYS) is set to 10%. Operating Time The operating time is set using the operating time knob (T). The operating time can be set to between 0.1 and 30 s. If the input current exceeds (drops lower than) the set value, the alarm indicator will start flashing for the set period and then stay lit. Startup Lock Time The startup lock time is set using the startup lock time knob (LOCK). The startup lock time can be set to between 0 and 30 s. The startup lock time will start when the input current reaches 30% or more of the set value. Use startup lock time to prevent unwanted operation, e.g., as a result of inrush current. Note: This function is valid only for overcurrent operation. Inrush current Current set value 30% of current set value Startup lock time Errors are not detected Startup lock timer start during this time. 7 K8DT-AS Dimensions (Unit: mm) Single-phase Current Relays K8DT-AS1 K8DT-AS2 K8DT-AS3 100 90 86 17.5 5 90 OMRON CT 9.3 9.3 1.7 1.7 K8AC-CT200L 11 4.7 63 54 Four M4 × 6 screws 20 17 50 8.5 Mounting Hole Dimensions 13.5 Two M5 screw holes or two 5.5-dia. holes 34.5 81.5 76 33.5 6 57 14.5 30 dia. 14.5 86 5.2 10 10 Note: The OMRON Current Transformer (CT) is designed to be used with the K8DT-AS3.

The input will equal the operating value when the input exceeds the set value and the alarm indicator starts flashing. Operation can be checked by the relay outputs that will start after the operating time has passed. Undercurrent Gradually decrease the input from 120% of the setting and check the operation using the same method as for overcurrent. Example: Operating Mode = Overcurrent, Output Drive Mode = Normally Open, and Operating Time = 5 s Set value Current input Flashing Lit Alarm indicator 5s Contact output or transistor output Can a motor with a rated current of 5 A be monitored using the K8DT? Are there any application precautions? The K8DT-AS1 and K8DT-AS2 cannot be used with motor loads. Use the K8DT-AS3 in combination with the K8ACCT200L Current Transformer (CT). With motor loads, the startup current and stall current will cause a current of many times the rated current to flow. Refer to the following figure for information on the motor startup current. Motor current (percentage of rated value) Q 500% 100% Connection Diagram Time from beginning of startup Output A 100 VAC Several seconds to several tens of seconds 0 to 10 A Input terminals 30 Ω 400 W (two in parallel) Power supply Variable autotransformer A1 A2 100 VAC ± For a motor with a rating of 5 A, the startup current will be approximately 30 A. The startup current will exceed the overload capacity (rating: 150% for 1 s) of the K8DT-AS1 and K8DT-AS2 and result in failure of the Relay. To monitor the motor load, use the K8DT-AS3. (Overload capacity: 120% of rating for continuous load, 200% of rating for 30 s, and 600% of rating for 1 s). The K8DT-AS3 has a large input range. Pass the conductors multiple times through the special CT. C 100 V Cycle counter Primary-side conductor To the K8DT-AS3 K8AC-CT200L Q How to Measure the Operating Time Overcurrent Change the input suddenly from 0% to 120% of the set value and measure the time until the Unit operates. Undercurrent Change the input suddenly from 120% to 0% of the set value and measure the time until the Unit operates. Q Monitoring Switch-mode Power Supplies Switch-mode Power Supplies cannot be monitored. In circuits with a capacitor input, including switch-mode power supplies, the input capacitor recharge current flows in pulse form as the load current. The K8DT-AS@ has a built-in filter as a countermeasure against high frequencies and cannot be used to remove pulse current. Concept behind Passing Conductor through the CT When Using the K8DT-AS3 Example: Monitoring Overload of a Motor with a Rated Current of 5 A K8DT set value: Overcurrent detection, operating value setting: 25%, operating time: 0.1 s Startup lock timer: 0.1 to 30 s (Set the timer according to the duration of the startup current.) The setting range for the K8DT-AS3 is 10% to 100% of the rated current (i.e., 10 to 100 A). Pass the conductors through the CT five times so that at least 10 A of current flows. The input current to the K8DT will be 25 A (i.e., 5 A x 5 loops). If a startup current of six times the rated current is generated, it will be 150 A (i.e., 25 A x 6). The overload capacity for the K8DT-AS3 is 200% of the rating for 30 s. The Relay will not fail even if the startup current continues for 30 s, and it is possible to perform overload detection. 9 K8DT-AS Safety Precautions Be sure to read the precautions for all models in the website at the following URL: http://www.ia.omron.com/.
