Product Description
DWA01 and PWA01 are pre-
cise over or under cos
ϕ
monitoring relays.
The relays monitor their own
power supply voltage and
the current of a balanced 3-
phase system.
For current measure direct
connection, 5A standard cur-
rent transformers and MI CT
can be used.
The LED's indicate the state
of the alarm and the output
relay.

Adjust the desired function
(over or underload monitor-
ing) with DIP switch 1 and
the power ON delay with
DIP Switches 3 and 4 as
shown on the below table.
To access the DIP-switch
open the plastic cover using
a screwdriver as shown on
the left.

Mode of Operation
DWA01 and PWA01 can be
used for monitoring the
actual load of asynchronous
motors.
The relays measure the 3-
phase supply voltage and
the current of the phase L1
connected to an asyn-
chronous motor.
The relay monitor the cosine
of the angle between motor
current and motor voltage
(cos
ϕ).
As cos
ϕ
varies with the load
of the motor, overload (or
underload) can be indirectly
detected by DWA01 and
PWA01.
The relation between the
load and cos
ϕ
depends on
the type of motor.
As a guideline to ensure cor-
rect working conditions for a
motor, the level could be set
above (or below) the cos
ϕ
marking on the motor. It is
however recommended to
make the adjustment in con-
nection with a practical test.
The relay has an inhibit
delay at power ON in order
to avoid overload detection
during motor start.
Example 1:
Overload monitoring.
The relay operates and the
yellow LED is ON as long as
cos
ϕ
is below the set limit.
The relay releases when it
exceeds the set level.
Example 2:
Underload monitoring.
The relay operates and the
yellow LED is ON as long as
cos
ϕ
is above the set limit.
The relay releases when it
drops below the set level.
Example 3:
DWA01CM235A
and
PWA01CM235A can be used
for monitoring the cos
ϕ
of a
1-Phase load with 208 to 240
V AC mains voltgage. In this
case the power supply has to
be connected between L1, L3
(or 5, 7) and L2 and L3 (or 6
and 7) have to be connected.
