The Honeywell 10310/2/1 Earth Leakage Detector is a specialized device used in industrial control systems to monitor and detect earth (ground) leakage currents. These detectors are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems by identifying potential electrical faults that could lead to hazardous conditions.
The primary function of the 10310/2/1 is to detect leakage currents that flow to ground, which can occur due to insulation failures or other electrical faults. These leakage currents can indicate potential safety hazards or damage to electrical equipment.
Alarm and Protection: The detector triggers alarms or shutdowns when leakage currents exceed predefined thresholds, helping to prevent electrical accidents or equipment damage.
Key Features:
Sensitivity: The detector is designed to measure small leakage currents with high sensitivity, ensuring early detection of potential faults.
Adjustable Settings: It often allows for the adjustment of sensitivity and threshold levels, enabling it to be tailored to specific application requirements.
Indicators: Usually equipped with visual and/or audible indicators to signal the presence of earth leakage and the status of the detector.
Output Contacts: Includes output contacts for integration with alarm systems or control circuits, providing notifications or initiating safety responses.
