FREQUENCY RELAY

SELECTION GUIDE

M200-F1U Single or 3 phase under frequency
M200-F1O Single or 3 phase over frequency
M200-F1C Single or 3 phase combined frequency

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

The M200 series frequency relays are designed to
monitor the frequency of a system and if the frequency
deviates outside the adjustable pre-set limits, the relay
will operate.
Typically used in protecting generators against over or
under speed, this is achieved as speed is proportional to
frequency. Other uses such as monitoring mains power
supplies, computer supplies etc.
The user is provided with adjustment of both the trip
point of frequency being monitored and the differential
As is common with all the M200 relays; on over units the
relay energises when the input signal exceeds the trip
point. On under units the relay de-energises when the
input signal goes below the trip point
A red LED indicates the state of the relay, whilst a green
LED indicates the condition of the power supply. The
frequency relays monitor their own power supply so no
auxiliary power is necessary.

OPTIONS

1. On all of the above units an internally set time delay
is available for any value between 1 & 10 seconds. To
order use the above code, adding a D at the end of the
code, e.g. M200-F1U/D 7 seconds (state the fixed delay
period)
2. AC auxiliary in range 57.7 to 480 volts
3. Calibration at temperature other than 23º C
4. To prevent nuisance tripping when there is a slight
variation in the frequency, the following option is
available The external differential is replaced with an
external time delay On these units the time delay is
adjustable from 200ms to 10 seconds, and the
differential is fixed at 1%.
