●Relationship
of Mounting Distance between K8DS-PA Relays
and Ambient Temperature (Reference Values)
The following diagram shows the relationship between the mounting distances and the
ambient temperature.
If the relay is used with an ambient temperature that exceeds these values, the
temperature of the K8DS may rise and shorten the life of the internal components.

Note:
1.
The K8DS-PA output contacts are normally operative.
2.
The power ON lock prevents unnecessary alarms from being generated during the unstable
period when the power is first turned ON. There is no contact output during timer operation.
3.
Phase loss is detected by a drop in the L1, L2, or L3 voltage. A phase loss is detected when
any of the phase-to-phase voltages goes below 60% of the rated input.
4.
L2 and L3 are also used for the power supply. If the voltage becomes very low, the Relay
will not operate.
5.
Phase loss is not detected in the motor load during operation.
6.
Phase loss cannot be detected on the load side because detection is based on the voltage.

Calculation Formula for Asymmetry Operating Value

operating value
Asymmetry operating value = Rated input voltage (V)
×
Asymmetry set value (%)
Note:
The rated input voltage is set with a rotary switch.
L2 and L3 are also used for the power supply. If the voltage becomes
very low, the indicator will turn OFF.
The indicator will flash once per second after an incorrect phase is
detected and once per 0.5 second during the detection time.
