Single-phase Overcurrent/Undercurrent Relay

K8AK-AW

Ideal for Current Monitoring for 
Industrial Facilities and Equipment.

• Monitor for overcurrents and undercurrents simultaneously.

Separate settings and outputs supported for overcurrents and 
undercurrents.

• Use commercially available CTs (CT current on secondary 

side: 0 to 1 A or 0 to 5 A).

• Manual resetting and automatically resetting supported by one 

Relay.

• Startup lock and operating time can be set separately.
• Two sets of SPDT output contacts, 5 A at 250 VAC (resistive 

load).

• Output status can be monitored using LED indicator.
• Inputs are isolated from the power supply.
