Current Balance Relays are designed to sense unbalanced current flow in a three phase system. The
primary application of Current Balance Relays is to
protect three phase motors against phase unbalance or phase failure.
Operation:
3 1/2
With control voltage applied to the relay, the output
contacts will energize when the three phase currents
are balanced (including zero currents), and will be
de-energize by unbalance currents.
