Operating Instructions English Type U-EK230E Part.-No. 382008 Motor protection- and releasing unit with thermistors “TP” (PTC thermistor relay) 0102 L-BAL-E185-GB 1902 Index 004 ZNo. 11660-0711-02 1/12...
2. Application Ziehl-Abegg PTC thermistor relays protect motors, transformers, machines and equipment against thermal overload. These are according to EN 60947-8 and are thus exchangeable. Used in conjunction with respective PTC thermistors they provide a reliable temperature protection in the temperature range 60 °C up to 180 °C.
5. Connection proposal Us = supply voltage H1 = indicator lamp fault S1 = off-switch F1-F4 = fuses S2 = push-button on K1 = contactor S3 = push-button external reset TP = PTC thermistor 6. Display- and control elements 1 = LED red „ALARM“ 2 = LED green „Power ON“...
7. Detailed description A current monitors continuously the resistance of the PTC thermistors. In cold state, the resistance is ≤ 250 Ω per thermistor (thermistor circuit ≤ 1.5 kΩ). The relay has picked up and contacts 11/14 are closed. The resistance of the thermistor rises rapidly at detector operating temperature TNF.

Category and Performance-Level (EN ISO 13849-1) The devices fulfil the requirements of category 1 and PL = c. MTTF = 268 years. The data of the functional safety stated above are valid for an ambient temperature of 40 °C. Data for additional ambient temperatures can be obtained on request. Application of the safety device used with equipment category (EN 50495/VDE 0171-18) This standard describes the minimum requirements of safety integrity level and fault tolerance of a safety device in the application together with the category of the Equipment Ander Control...
The manual resetting may be only possible, if all safety functions and protection device are effective. • Trip devices types U-EK230E have an interlock function. The stop instruction remains, until pressing the push-button „Reset“ a reset is made. A start-up is only possible, if no case of failure occurs and the motor is cooled down to a sufficient value of temperature.
