Voltage Monitoring Relays
D65 Series—Voltage Monitoring Relays
021
D65 Series
D65 Series
General Description
The Eaton D65 voltage monitoring
relay protects distribution systems
supplying motor feeder or branch
circuits against premature equipment
failure caused by voltage problems on
wye or delta connected three-phase
systems. Voltage monitoring relays
protect against voltage imbalance
and single-phasing regardless of any
regenerative voltages. The relay is
energized when the phase sequence
and all voltages are correct. Any
of five abnormal conditions (phase
loss, phase reversal, overvoltage,
undervoltage or phase imbalance)
will de-energize the relay. As standard,
re-energization is automatic upon
correction of the fault condition. The
D65 can also be wired for manual reset.
Application Description
Protective Functions
The D65 Series relay makes separate
trip decisions based on the status of
the three-phase voltage inputs. Control
power is derived from the three-phase
voltage inputs. Separate control power
is not required. The device will trip in
response to any combination of the
following conditions:
■Undervoltage—When voltage in all
three lines of a three-phase system
drops simultaneously. Undervoltage
dropout can be set at 80–95% of
operating voltage. Unit trips when
the average of all three lines is less
than the adjusted set point for a
period longer than the adjustable
time delay dropout (0.1–20 seconds).
This time delay eliminates nuisance
tripping caused by momentary
voltage fluctuation
■Overvoltage—Fixed at 110% of
nominal, unit trips when the average
of all three lines is greater than the
fixed set point for a period longer
than the time delay dropout
■Phase imbalance—Imbalance of
a three-phase system occurs when
single-phase loads are connected
such that one or two of the lines
(phases) carry more or less of the
load. This could cause motors to run
at temperatures above published
ratings. Unit trips when any one
of the three lines is more than
the adjusted set point below the
average of all three lines. The
percent phase imbalance is adjust-
able from 2–10% and also has a
Disable setting for applications
where poor voltage conditions
could cause nuisance tripping
■Phase loss (single-phasing)—Total
loss of one or more of the three
phases. Typically caused by a blown
fuse, broken wire or worn contact.
This condition would result in a
motor drawing locked rotor current
during startup. In addition, a three-
phase motor will continue to run
after losing a phase, resulting in
potential motor burn-out. Unit trips
on loss of any phase
■Phase reversal—Reversing any
two of the three phases will cause
a three-phase motor to run in the
opposite direction. This may cause
damage to machinery or injury
to personnel. Unit trips if rotation
(sequence) of the three phases is
anything other than A-B-C
Features
■
Universal voltage range of 208–480V
provides the flexibility to cover a
variety of applications. 120V and
600V units also available
■Automatic or manual reset after the
fault condition is corrected
■Multi-color LED indicates normal
condition and defines fault type for
simpler troubleshooting
■D65VMLS can be either mounted
directly on 35 mm DIN rail with no
additional parts or to a back-panel
with two screws. No socket
required. D65VMLP will plug
into D3PA2 socket and mount
on 35 mm DIN rail
■Small, compact size
■User-adjustable settings include
nominal voltage, percent phase
imbalance, undervoltage dropout,
time delay on undervoltage and
time delay on restart after fault
Operation
The D65 provides protection against
premature equipment failure caused by
voltage faults on three-phase systems.
The D65 is designed to be compatible
with most wye or delta systems. In wye
systems, a connection to a neutral is
not required. D65 voltage monitoring
relays protect against unbalanced
voltages or single-phasing regardless
of any regenerative voltages. The relay
is energized when the phase sequence
and all voltages are correct. Any one
of five fault conditions will de-energize
the relay. Re-energization is automatic
upon correction of the fault condition.
Manual reset is available if an NC
switch is wired to the appropriate
terminals. A multi-color LED indicates
normal condition and also provides
specific fault indication to simplify
troubleshooting. The percent phase
imbalance is adjustable from 2–10%,
and the undervoltage dropout can be
set at 80–95% of operating voltage.
The adjustable time delay dropout on
undervoltage (0.1–20 sec) eliminates
nuisance tripping caused by momen-
tary voltage fluctuations.
