Application
The three-phase monitoring relays CM-PSS.x1 are designed for use in three-phase mains for monitoring the phase
parameters phase sequence, phase failure as well as over- and undervoltage.
The CM-PSS.x1 provide an adjustable tripping delay and work according to the closed-circuit principle.

Operating mode
The CM-PSS.x1 have 2 c/o (SPDT) contacts and are available for 3-wire AC systems. The units are adjusted with front-
face operating controls. The selection of ON-delay with phase sequence monitoring A , OFF-delay with phase sequence
monitoring B , ON-delay without phase sequence monitoring A l , OFF-delay without phase sequence monitoring
B l is made with a rotary switch. The tripping delay Tv is adjustable over a range of instantaneous to a 30 s delay.
Timing is displayed by a flashing yellow LED labelled R/T.

Data sheet | Three-phase monitoring relays CM-PSS - 3

 Adjustment potentiometer

Tripping delay Tv
The tripping delay Tv can be adjusted within a range of 0.1 to 30 s by means of a potentiometer with logarithmic scale. By
turning to the left stop, the tripping delay can be switched off.

Rotary switch

Type of tripping delay and phase sequence monitoring

The type of tripping delay and phase sequence monitoring can be selected via the rotary switch „Function“.

ON-delay with phase sequence monitoring

The output relays de-energize as soon as a phase sequence error occurs. The output relays re-energize automatically as soon as
the phase sequence is correct again.
OFF-delay with phase sequence monitoring
The output relays de-energize as soon as a phase sequence error occurs. The output relays re-energize automatically as soon as
the phase sequence is correct again.
ON-delay without phase sequence monitoring
Phase sequence errors will not cause a tripping of the relay.

OFF-delay without phase sequence monitoring

Phase sequence errors will not cause a tripping of the relay.

Function descriptions / diagrams
Configuration of the devices is made by means of operating controls accessible on the front of the unit and signalling is
made by means of front-face LEDs.

Phase sequence and phase failure monitoring

Applying control supply voltage begins the fixed start-up delay Ts. When Ts is complete and all phases are present with
correct voltage, the output relays energize and the yellow LED R/T is on.

Phase sequence monitoring:

The output relays de-energize as soon as a phase sequence error occurs. The fault is displayed by alternated flashing of
the LEDs F1 and F2. The output relays re-energize automatically as soon as the phase sequence is correct again.

Phase failure monitoring:

The output relays de-energize instantaneously if a phase failure occurs. The fault is indicated by lightning of LED F1 and
flashing of LED F2. The output relays re-energize automatically as soon as the voltage returns to the tolerance range.

 Over- and undervoltage monitoring
Applying control supply voltage begins the fixed start-up delay Ts. When Ts is complete and all phases are present with
correct voltage and with correct phase sequence, the output relays energize and the yellow LED R/T is on.

Type of tripping delay = ON-delay A

If the voltage to be monitored exceeds or falls below the set threshold value, the output relays de-energize after the set
tripping delay Tv is complete. The LED R/T flashes during timing and turns off as soon as the output relays de-energize.
The output relays re-energize automatically as soon as the voltage returns to the tolerance range, taking into account a
fixed hysteresis of 5 %. The LED R/T is on.

energize automatically after the set tripping delay Tv is complete. The LED R/T flashes during timing and turns steady when
timing is complete.
