Tense DGK-04 Digital Three Phase Over and Under Voltage Control Relay
The Tense DGK-04 is a high precision, digitally adjustable three phase voltage protection relay engineered to safeguard sensitive electrical machinery, engines, and automated industrial networks from hazardous grid fluctuations. Housed in a robust, compact DIN rail mount enclosure, this micro processed terminal continuously monitors phase to phase voltages without requiring a neutral wire loop connection (Non Neutral operational architecture).
Featuring a distinctive vertical layout of three independent 3 digit red LED displays, the DGK 04 provides simultaneous real time monitoring of all three line to line phases (L1-L2, L2-L3, and L3-L1). This setup eliminates the need to cycle through screens to check phase stability.
Key Features
-
Simultaneous 3 Phase Voltage Display: Designed with three stacked, distinct 3 digit LED windows that provide immediate visual diagnostics of live operating parameters.
-
Adjustable Over Voltage Protection (U): Allows precise field adjustment of the high voltage threshold via a dedicated rotary dial from 400V to 460V AC.
-
Adjustable Under Voltage Protection (U): Provides customizable protection against voltage sags and brownouts, adjustable via potentiometer from 230V to 360V AC.
-
Configurable Error Waiting Time (t): Equipped with a programmable trip delay dial selectable between 0.1 seconds and 10 seconds to minimize nuisance tripping during brief startup surges or momentary line drops.
-
Intelligent Fault Diagnostics: Built with front facing error LEDs (U, U<, and Out) alongside a blinking numeric display feature that immediately highlights exactly which phase combination caused the fault condition.
