Ground Fault Current
Reporting Current Range
The following chart illustrates the minimum and maximum reporting ground
fault current values for a given ground fault current range.
➊ The E3 Plus Overload Relay will report 0 A if the ground fault current is below 50% of the minimum ground fault
current setting for a given range.
➋ The E3 Plus Overload Relay is capable of reporting values greater than the maximum values shown, but the
accuracy of the value is compromised.
➌ The accuracy specified is only applicable to non-distorted sinusoidal currents.
➍ 20…100 mA for resistive loads only. For motor loads, consult your local Rockwell Automation sales office or
Allen-Bradley distributor
.
Frequency Range
The E3 Plus Overload Relay is capable of sensing variable frequency ground fault
currents ranging from 20…250 Hz.
Exception: Any E3 Plus Overload Relay using an external ground fault sensor is
limited to 50/60 Hz detection.
Diagnostic Parameters The E3 Overload relay provides a number of motor diagnostic parameters to
assist maintenance personnel with information to minimize unplanned down
time. The relay also provides a number of preventative maintenance diagnostics
to maximize the life of an electric motor.
