Three-Phase Phase Monitoring Relay | 3x380VAC + N | 30% Asymmetry | DIN Three-Phase Phase Monitoring Relay | 3x380V AC + N | 30% Phase Asymmetry Protection
Three-phase phase monitoring relay – is a compact protection device designed to protect three-phase electric motors, pumps, and other equipment against phase voltage faults in the electrical network. The relay is intended for 3x380V AC systems with neutral connection and continuously monitors the condition of the three-phase network. When all phase voltages are within the normal range, the output relay is activated and the OUT LED indicator lights up. If the voltage of one or more phases deviates beyond the permitted limit, the relay output is switched off, helping protect the connected equipment against dangerous operation under unbalanced three-phase supply conditions.
Three-phase network phase condition and asymmetry monitoringThe device is designed for 3x380V AC + Neutral electrical systems and has fixed 30% phase asymmetry protection. When all phase voltage values are normal, the relay is activated. If the voltage of one phase increases or decreases enough to exceed the permitted asymmetry threshold, the relay is deactivated and the control circuit can disconnect the protected equipment.

Function / Block Parameters / Modes Description / Purpose in the System Phase asymmetry monitoring 30% (fixed) Monitors the phase voltage balance of the three-phase network and switches off the relay output when the difference between phases exceeds the fixed threshold. Normal operating mode OUT LED on When all phase voltages are normal, the relay is activated and the OUT LED indicator lights up. Phase voltage fault Relay deactivated If the voltage of one phase increases or decreases beyond the permitted limit, the relay switches off and the OUT indicator goes out. Neutral connection 3P + N system The device is intended for a three-phase 3x380V AC system with neutral connection. LED indication ON and OUT LEDs Provides visual information about the device power supply and relay output status. How does the controller work?
- Connect the device to a 3x380V AC + Neutral three-phase network according to the provided wiring diagram.
- When power is switched on, the relay automatically monitors the phase voltages of the three-phase network.
- When all phase voltages are within the normal range, the relay output is activated and the OUT LED indicator lights up.
- If the voltage of one phase increases or decreases enough to exceed the fixed 30% asymmetry threshold, the relay output is deactivated.
- When the relay is deactivated, the OUT LED indicator switches off and the control circuit can disconnect the contactor and the protected electrical equipment.
- Once normal three-phase network voltage conditions are restored, the relay returns to normal operating status.
30% phase asymmetry protectionThe device has a factory-set 30% phase asymmetry threshold. If the voltage deviation of one or more phases exceeds this limit, the relay output is deactivated. This protection helps reduce the risk of overheating, uneven operation, and other faults in three-phase motors that may be caused by significant phase voltage imbalance.
3-phase + neutral systemThis relay version is designed for a 3x380V AC network with neutral connection. The neutral conductor is part of the device wiring diagram. This version does not have a phase sequence monitoring function – its primary purpose is phase condition monitoring and fixed 30% voltage asymmetry protection.

Practical example
In an industrial system, a three-phase 380V AC electric motor is controlled through a contactor. This phase monitoring relay is installed in the control panel and the three phases and neutral conductor are connected. When all phase voltages are normal and phase asymmetry does not exceed the fixed 30% threshold, the relay OUT indicator lights up and the contactor control circuit can remain active. If the voltage of one phase decreases or increases significantly, the relay deactivates the output and the contactor disconnects the motor. This reduces the risk of three-phase motor overheating and failure caused by unbalanced phase supply.
