TVW Series – Voltage Monitor
Product Status| Activei
info

The TVW series is a three-phase voltage monitor that provides protection for motors and other sensitive loads. It continuously measures the voltage of each of the three phases using a microcomputer circuit design that senses under and overvoltage, voltage unbalance, phase loss, and phase reversal. Protection is provided even when regenerated voltages are present. This monitor includes a trip delay to prevent nuisance tripping and a restart delay to prevent short cycling after a momentary power outage.

Operation

Upon application of line voltage, the restart delay begins. The output is de-energized during restart delay. Under normal conditions, the output energizes after the restart delay. Undervoltage, overvoltage, and voltage unbalance must be sensed for the complete trip delay period before the output de-energizes. The restart delay begins as soon as the output de-energizes. If the restart delay is completed when a fault is corrected, the output energizes immediately. The output will not energize if a fault is sensed as the input voltage is applied. If the voltage selector is set between two voltage marks (between 220 and 230 V), the LED will flash red rapidly. The TVW provides fault protection at the lower of the two line voltages (220 V). Reset is automatic upon correction of a fault.

LED Operation

The LED flashes green during the restart delay, then glows green when the output energizes. It flashes red during the trip delay, then glows red when the output de-energizes. It flashes red/green if phase reversal is sensed. If the voltage selector knob is between settings, it rapidly flashes red.
