Lovato PMV20A575 PMV20 Three-Phase Voltage Monitoring Relay

Description

Protecting motors and panels from phase loss and wrong phase order

The PMV20A575 is a voltage monitoring relay for three-phase without neutral from Lovato Electric. It monitors the supply it is connected to and, according to the catalogue, performs this function: phase loss and incorrect phase sequence relay. The controlled line voltage runs from 208 VAC to 575 VAC, and no separate auxiliary supply is needed because the relay is self powered.

Its tripping delay is 0.06 s, reset is automatic, and the output is 1 changeover SPDT rated for a thermal current of 8 A.

Selecting the relay

Different PMV codes cover different jobs; this one is described as phase loss and incorrect phase sequence relay. Compare the controlled voltage range (208 VAC to 575 VAC) with your system before ordering.

In practice the output contact is placed in the control circuit of a contactor or starter so that an abnormal supply drops the motor or switches a changeover scheme.

Applications and wiring

Typical places are pump and compressor panels, lifts, ventilation fans and any three-phase machine that can be damaged by running with a missing phase or reversed rotation. The relay is DIN-rail mounted and uses screw terminals.

Housing: 2U.

For panel design and commissioning, the practical figures to keep at hand are: dimensions (W x H x D) 35.8 x 104.7 x 64.9 mm; weight 120 g; mounting 35mm DIN rail (IEC/EN 60715); operating temperature (min) -20 °C; operating temperature (max) +60 °C; storage temperature (min) -30 °C; storage temperature (max) +80 °C; execution (n° of modules) 2; material Self-extinguishing polyamide; IEC degree of protection IP40 on front; IP20 at terminals. These come straight from the datasheet and are repeated here so that the key installation limits are visible without opening the PDF.

Lovato order codes describe the product. On a contactor such as BF0910A230, "BF09" is the frame and rated current (9 A in AC-3), "10" is the built-in auxiliary contact (one normally open), "A" means an AC coil and "230" is the coil voltage. The coil voltage must match the control circuit exactly, so it is the most common detail to check when replacing one. For motors, a soft starter limits the inrush current at start and stop, while a variable speed drive controls the speed continuously and saves energy on pumps and fans that do not need full flow all the time.

Where Lovato products are used

In Oman and the GCC, Lovato components are built into motor control centres, pump and HVAC panels, capacitor banks for power factor correction, generator and ATS panels, and machine control panels for industry, water and buildings.

Ordering Lovato products: what we need

Send the full Lovato order code. For contactors and starters, confirm the coil or control voltage. For drives and soft starters, send the motor power, current and supply voltage. For power factor controllers, send the number of steps and the CT ratio.
