Three-Phase Phase Monitoring Relay | 3x380VAC | 30% Asymmetry | DIN Three-Phase Phase Monitoring and Phase Sequence Protection Relay | 3x380V AC | 30% Phase Asymmetry Monitoring
Three-phase phase monitoring and phase sequence protection relay – is a compact protection device designed to protect three-phase electric motors, pumps, and other equipment against mains faults. The relay monitors the condition of the three-phase network, checks phase voltage asymmetry, and verifies the correct phase sequence. When all phase parameters are normal and the phase sequence is correct, the relay output is activated and the OUT LED indicator lights up. If excessive phase imbalance or an incorrect phase sequence is detected, the relay output is switched off.
Three-phase motor protection against phase imbalance and incorrect phase sequenceThe device is designed for 3x380V AC three-phase systems. Integrated fixed 30% phase asymmetry monitoring helps protect equipment against dangerous phase imbalance, while phase sequence monitoring prevents the relay output from being activated if phases L1, L2, and L3 are connected in the wrong sequence. The device is particularly suitable for monitoring the rotation direction and supply condition of three-phase motors.

Function / Block Parameters / Modes Description / Purpose in the System Phase asymmetry monitoring 30% (fixed) If the voltage of one of the phases deviates beyond the permitted asymmetry threshold, the relay output is switched off and the equipment is protected against operation in an unstable three-phase network. Phase sequence monitoring L1-L2-L3 sequence monitoring If the phase sequence is incorrect, the relay output is not activated. This helps prevent incorrect rotation direction of a three-phase motor. Normal operating mode OUT LED on When the phase voltages are normal and the phase sequence is correct, the relay output is activated and the OUT indicator lights up. Asymmetry fault ERR LED flashes every 2s If the phase asymmetry is too high, the ERR indicator flashes at approximately 2-second intervals, the OUT indicator switches off, and the relay is deactivated. Phase sequence fault ERR LED continuously on If the phase sequence is incorrect, the relay is deactivated, the ERR LED remains continuously lit, and the OUT indicator switches off. How does the controller work?
- Connect the device to the three-phase network according to the provided wiring diagram.
- When power is switched on, the device automatically checks the condition of the three-phase network.
- If all phase voltages are within the normal range and the L1-L2-L3 phase sequence is correct, the relay output is activated and the OUT LED indicator lights up.
- If the difference between the phase voltages exceeds the fixed 30% asymmetry threshold, the relay is deactivated, the OUT indicator switches off, and the ERR indicator starts flashing.
- If an incorrect phase sequence is detected, the relay output is switched off, the OUT LED goes out, and the ERR LED remains continuously lit.
- Once the proper three-phase network parameters and correct phase sequence are restored, the relay can return to normal operating mode.
Phase asymmetry protectionThe device has fixed 30% phase asymmetry protection. When the voltage deviation of one or more phases exceeds the permitted threshold, the device detects the fault and deactivates the relay output. In this case, the ERR LED indicator flashes approximately every 2 seconds, while the OUT indicator switches off.
Phase sequence protectionThe relay checks the L1-L2-L3 phase sequence. If the phase sequence is incorrect, the relay output is not activated. This protection is especially important for three-phase electric motors, pumps, compressors, and other equipment where an incorrect phase sequence can reverse the direction of rotation and cause mechanical or process-related faults.

What is it suitable for? (Applications)
- Three-phase electric motor protection systems
- Pump and compressor control circuits
- Protection of fans and other three-phase electric drives
- Industrial automation and control cabinets
- Equipment requiring the correct L1-L2-L3 phase sequence
- Systems requiring protection against three-phase network voltage asymmetry

- Systems requiring an adjustable phase asymmetry threshold
- Direct switching of high-power three-phase motors without a contactor
- Direct installation in humid locations without a suitable protective electrical enclosure
Practical example
In a production line, a three-phase 380V AC electric motor is controlled through a contactor. This phase monitoring relay is installed in the control panel. When the L1, L2, and L3 phase voltages are normal, phase asymmetry does not exceed 30%, and the phase sequence is correct, the relay OUT indicator lights up and the contactor control circuit can remain active. If one of the phases deviates significantly or the phase sequence changes, the relay output is deactivated and the contactor disconnects the motor. This reduces the risk of three-phase motor failure or incorrect rotation direction.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What type of network is this relay designed for?The relay is designed for a three-phase 3x380V AC electrical network with neutral connection and operates at a frequency of 50/60Hz.
Does the relay monitor phase asymmetry?Yes. The device has a fixed 30% phase asymmetry protection threshold.
Can the 30% asymmetry threshold be adjusted?No. The phase asymmetry protection threshold of this relay is fixed at 30%.
Does the relay check the phase sequence?Yes. If the L1-L2-L3 phase sequence is incorrect, the relay output is not activated and the ERR LED indicator signals a fault.
What does a flashing ERR indicator mean?A flashing ERR LED at approximately 2-second intervals indicates a phase asymmetry fault.
What does a continuously lit ERR indicator mean?A continuously lit ERR indicator indicates an incorrect phase sequence.
Can the relay directly control a three-phase motor?The relay contact is rated for up to 5A / 250V AC resistive load, therefore for three-phase motors it is recommended to use the relay output to control the contactor coil rather than switching the motor directly.
Important safety note for the installerUse the device only according to its intended purpose and wiring diagram. Do not use it in a humid environment. Provide a separate switch and automatic circuit breaker in the installation circuit. They must be installed near the device, in a location easily accessible to the operator, and marked as electrical circuit disconnecting means. Disconnect the electrical power supply before installation or maintenance work.
MaintenanceDisconnect the device from the electrical power supply before carrying out maintenance work. Clean the housing with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use conductive materials, aggressive chemical cleaners, or solvents that may damage the device. After cleaning, check that the relay operates correctly.
