EARTH CURRENT GUARD FOR SYSTEMS WITH GROUNDED NEUTRAL

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the KPC105x series, an earth current guard designed for systems with grounded neutral. It provides protection by monitoring leakage current and offers features such as fast response time, adjustable alarm relays, and an analogue output.
Specifications: The KPC105x operates with auxiliary voltages of 100-120, 200-240, 380-415, or 440-460VAC at 40-70Hz, and optional DC voltages of 24, 48, or 110V. It supports current inputs up to 1A using current transformers or CBCT, with a preferred class of 0.5 or better. The device includes adjustable trip levels and delays, with a contact rating of 100VA for AC and 50W for DC.
Features: The device offers true RMS measurement unaffected by distorted waveforms, a fast analogue output, and a non-resistive earth current offset function. It includes two alarm relays with individually settable trip levels and delays, and a third relay for status indication. The offset function allows normal reactive currents to be ignored, focusing on resistive earth leakage current.
Safety and Compliance: The KPC105x meets IEC60092-504 and relevant environmental and EMC tests specified in IEC60068/60092 and IEC61000/60533, complying with major Classification Societies' requirements.
Installation and Operation: The device is designed for panel mounting with a DIN96 cutout. It includes a fail-safe relay that energizes when powered, and settings are indicated by colored sectors: red for alarm, yellow for warning, and green for normal operation.
Ordering Information: The document provides an example of ordering with specific auxiliary supply, CT, and analogue output requirements. Special outputs are available upon request.

Adjustments: ALARM: Trip level: 0-100% of FSD Delay: 0-30secs WARNING: 0-100% of FSD 0-30secs Offset: 0-25% Analogue Output: Upto20mA, max500R Up to 10V, min 100kohm (other on request) Temperature: -20to+70°C Weight: 0.6kgs Front protection: IP54 (IP65 optional) KPC105E monitors leakage current in a grounded neutral network and provides earth current protection. True RMS measurement not affected by heavily distorted waveforms (1.0%) protection. Less than 50mS current detection time. R1 energises when trip level one (Warning) is exceeded and R2 trips when trip level two (Alarm) is exceeded. R3 is an extra status relay that energises if either alarm relay 1 or 2 is active and can be used for local indication, PMS input, alarm system input etc. Fast response mAoutput signal proportional to a range (KPC105F). Safety The instrument measuring input isoverload protected against high current (<15xCT). If unit is used for tripping it is recomended to use manuel reset. User settable trip levels and delays. Colour of LEDs indicates alarm status. LEDs flash during count-down. OFFSET FUNCTION Only the resistive (ohmic) earth leakage current is a measure for the insulation condition between the AC supply and its protective earth. Any reading of leakage current in a fault free network will be caused by the networks spread capacitance. An offset potentiometer on the rear allows normal reactive (capacitive) currentstobeignored. Protective Earth (PE) Grounding The neutral grounding point is monitored by a Core Balanced Current Transformer (CBCT) or a standard current transformer (preferable class 0,5 or better). The ground connection can be directly ortrough a neutral earth resistorto reduce the maximum earth current in the network. The unit meets IEC60092-504 and the relevant environmental and EMC tests specified in IEC60068/60092 and IEC61000/60533 respectively, to comply with the requirements of the major Classification Societies.
