Undervoltage protection function
When the phase voltage of the line is lower than the undervoltage protection set value, the circuit breaker will trip for protection. After the line voltage returns to normal, the circuit breaker can be automatically closed and activated. The range of undervoltage protection setting value is 88V~209V, the factory setting is 187V, and users can set or turn off the protection themselves.
Open phase protection function
When the phase of the outgoing line of the power end of the line is open, the circuit breaker will trip for protection. After the line voltage returns to normal, the circuit breaker can be automatically closed and activated. The range of open phase protection set value is 10V~130V, the factory setting is 30V, and users can set or turn off the protection themselves.
Automatic reclosing
When the line voltage value exceeds the limit and the circuit breaker trips, the circuit breaker will be automatically reclosed 5s later after the line voltage returns to normal, but manual closing is not limited by time.
External control or dynamic protection function
Note: S1 is passive dry node; When the product is put into use and there is no external control, S1 needs to be shorted or the external control function of the software needs to be turned off.
Cost control function
This product can be connected to a cost control meter and be used as an external circuit breaker for an energy meter. It is compatible with pulse type and level type cost control meters. This function requires configuring the switch to cost control mode and turning it on, and only when the cost control is enabled, can it be used. When it is working in cost control mode, the dynamic protection function can automatically exit, and when there is no energy meter cost control signal, it cannot be manually or automatically closed. If it is closed by force, the product will be automatically disconnected.
