® SymCom’s MotorSaver Model 201A-AU is an auto ranging plug-in voltage / phase monitor designed to protect 3-phase motors regardless of size. It is used on 190-480VAC (475-600 for Model 201-575-AU), 50/60 Hz motors to prevent damage caused by single-phasing, low voltage, high voltage, phase reversal, or voltage unbalance conditions.

Calculating Voltage Unbalance NEMA MG1 Unbalance Formula % Voltage Unbalance = Maximum Deviation from the Average x 100% Average Example: The measured line-to-line voltages are 203, 210, and 212. Average = 203 + 210 + 212 = 208.3 The maximum deviation from the average is the largest difference between the average voltage (208.3) and any one voltage reading.
OPERATION ® After applying power to the MotorSaver , the green RUN light will blink during the restart delay. After ® the restart delay time has expired, the MotorSaver will energize its output contacts (open the normally closed and close the normally open contacts) and the RUN light will turn solid green. Automatic Reset Mode Set the RESTART (SEC) knob to the desired restart delay time.
TROUBLESHOOTING LIGHT SYMPTOM SOLUTION PATTERN Verify L1, L2 & L3 are connected to terminals 3, 4 & 5. Measure the three line-to-line voltages. If any of the No lights are on - voltages are below the specified operating voltage, the the unit seems ®...
