About the 469-P5-LO-A20-E
Equipped with an enhanced faceplate, General Electric Multilin’s 469-P5-LO-A20-E is a Motor Protection Relay designed for motors of medium to large size. The relay itself is protected by the DEMO metal carry case, which provides resistance to corrosion, dust, and high temperatures. When shipped, the relay packaging has a width of 12 inches, height of 11 inches, and depth of 10 inches. Furthermore, the package has a weight of approximately seventeen pounds.
This unit extends motor life and reduces system downtime through its protective mechanisms. A few of these protective features include:
-
Overtorque Protection: The 469-P5-LO-A20-E can monitor when torque exceeds the user-set threshold and safeguards the driven load from damage.
-
RTD Protection: The 469’s twelve RTD inputs are highly programmable and can alert users to hazardous ambient temperature changes. Alarm, trip, and high alarm functions can be assigned when values reach a user-set threshold.
-
Ground Fault Protection: The ground current detection feature protects motors against phase to ground faults by removing the DC component from the hazardous current to safeguard equipment.
Amongst other protective features, these abilities reduce system downtime and prolong motor life.
The 469 has a simulation function that allows it to test the effectiveness of the relay and to assess how it works with the current setpoint setup. Values are simulated for inputs; fault conditions and pre-trip conditions can be simulated as well.
