Product Q&A
- Q: What is the primary function of the PE1315 module?
- A: It simulates the thermal image of a motor to protect it from overheating due to excessive load or stalled rotors.
- Q: Can this module detect phase imbalance?
- A: Yes, it monitors the symmetry of the incoming 3-phase currents and trips if a significant imbalance or phase loss occurs.
- : Does the PE1315 require external power for its trip contacts?
- A: The internal logic is powered by the backplane, but the output relay contacts are typically potential-free and require external loop wiring for the starter circuit.
