FAQs
What is the maximum load the Eltako 21200030 can handle?
The impulse relay features a 1 CO (changeover) contact rated for a maximum of 10A at 250V AC. It can support incandescent lamps up to 2000W and 230V LED lamps up to 200W.
Can this relay be used in single-phase systems?
Yes, the relay operates on a 230V AC supply, which is common in single-phase systems. However, the rotating field monitoring feature is only applicable to 2- and 3-phase operations.
How do I adjust the voltage monitoring thresholds?
The operate and dropout voltages (U1, U2) are set using the lower rotary switch on the front of the device. Refer to the product manual for specific voltage values and VDE standards.
What does the LED indication mean?
A steady LED typically indicates that the relay is powered and operating normally. A rapid flash signals an error like incorrect polarity or a missing phase conductor. A slow flash during the release delay time indicates the delay period is active.
What is the purpose of the release delay (RV)?
The release delay (RV), adjustable from 0.1 to 8 seconds, prevents the relay from switching off immediately during brief power interruptions or voltage fluctuations, adding stability to the controlled circuit.
What is the standby loss of this device?
The Eltako 21200030 has a very low standby loss of only 0.8 watts.
Is this relay suitable for monitoring motor direction?
Yes, it is specifically designed to monitor the rotating field (clockwise) in 2- and 3-phase operations, which is crucial for ensuring correct motor direction and preventing damage.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on (LED off)
Verify that the L1 and N terminals are correctly connected to a live 230V AC source. Check the circuit breaker or fuse protecting the supply line.
LED flashes rapidly
This indicates wrong polarity or a missing phase conductor (in 2- or 3-phase operation). Check all phase connections and ensure correct wiring.
Device trips unexpectedly
Review the set operating/dropout voltages and release delay. Ensure they are appropriate for the connected load and supply stability. Check for transient voltage spikes.
Rotating field monitoring not functioning
Confirm that the device is correctly wired for 2- or 3-phase operation and that all phase conductors are connected to the appropriate input terminals. Ensure the rotating field is indeed clockwise.
CO contact does not switch
Check the control voltage supply to the relay. Ensure the input conditions (voltage, rotating field) meet the requirements for the contact to activate. Verify the load connected to the CO contact does not exceed 10A/250V AC.
