K8AK-TS/PT

Product catalog summary
Overview
The K8AK-TS/-PT Thermistor Motor Protection Relay is designed to monitor temperature rise due to internal motor loss. It includes features for temperature, phase sequence, and phase loss monitoring, all within a compact 22.5-mm DIN size. The relay supports side-by-side mounting and has a test/reset button for confirming output operation. It also monitors thermistor disconnections and short circuits, with options for manual or automatic resetting.
Ordering Information
Available models include K8AK-PT1 for phase sequence, phase loss, and temperature monitoring, and K8AK-TS1 for temperature monitoring. Power supply options are 100 to 240 VAC or 24 VAC/DC.
Ratings and Specifications
The relay operates on 24 VAC/DC or 100 to 240 VAC, with power consumption of 1.8 VA/1.0 W max for 24 VAC/DC and 3.5 VA max for 100 to 240 VAC. It features manual or automatic reset methods, with indicators for power and alarm outputs. The output relay is rated for 5 A at 250 VAC or 30 VDC, with a mechanical life of 10 million operations.
Specifications
The relay functions within 85% to 110% of rated power supply voltage and 50/60 Hz frequency. It detects phase loss at 80%±10% of rated input and has a PTC thermistor operating value precision of 3,100 Ω ±5%. It complies with standards such as EN 60947-5-1 and UL 508.
Connections
The terminal diagram provides connection details, with precautions for hazardous voltage and recommended ferrules for wiring. The relay supports both automatic and manual output reset methods.
Operation Methods
The relay includes a TEST/RESET key for testing and resetting operations, with hysteresis between operating and reset values for PTC thermistor input.
Safety Precautions
Warnings highlight risks of electrical shock and fire, advising to confirm input voltage is off before wiring. The product should not be used in environments with water, oil, dust, corrosive gases, or rapid temperature changes.
Conclusion
The K8AK-TS/-PT relay is a robust solution for motor protection, offering comprehensive monitoring capabilities and compliance with international safety standards.
Installation and Wiring Instructions
  • Ensure correct terminal polarity and wiring connections; power supply terminals lack polarity.
  • Avoid incorrect wiring of input and output terminals.
  • Verify power supply voltage and loads are within product specifications.
  • Use specified size crimp terminals for wiring.
  • Do not connect unused terminals.
  • Use a power supply that reaches rated voltage within 1 second of being turned on.
  • Keep wiring separate from high voltage and high current lines.
  • Avoid installing near equipment generating high frequencies or surges.
  • Install an external switch or circuit breaker for quick power-off capability.
  • Ensure indicators function correctly; they may deteriorate in certain environments.
  • Do not use the product if dropped; internal components may be damaged.
  • Understand and follow catalog instructions.
  • Avoid installing the product in a way that places a load on it.
  • Dispose of the product as industrial waste when discarding.
  • Handle the product only by trained electricians.
  • Check wiring before supplying power.
  • Avoid installing near heat sources.
  • Perform periodic maintenance.
Operating Methods
  • Use suitable power supply voltage and converters with rated outputs.
  • Clean with commercial alcohol, not thinners or solvents.
  • Input waveform distortion must not exceed 30%.
  • Product is not suitable for thyristor control or secondary side of an inverter without a noise filter.
Mounting and Removal
  • Mount to DIN Track with tab at top and hooks at bottom; ensure hooks lock into place.
  • Remove by pulling down on bottom hook with a screwdriver and lifting the product.
Terms and Conditions
  • Omron provides a 12-month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
  • No warranty for non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
  • Omron's liability is limited to product replacement, repair, or refund.
  • Omron is not liable for special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

K8AK-TS/-PT Questions and Answers Checking Operation PTC Thermistor Input Operation Operating Value The input resistance gradually increases from around 1 kΩ. The operating value is the input value for which the alarm indicator (TS_ALM) lights. The contact outputs switch simultaneously so that you can confirm operation. Note: Refer to the timing charts for the operating methods for reference. Can phase loss be detected on the load side? In principle, phase loss cannot be detected on the load side because the K8AK-PT1 measures three-phase voltage to determine phase loss. Is it possible to detect...
