TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

DESCRIPTION

●  Three-phase delta-star motor control,
●  current  decrease  during  high  power 

motor start,

●  device  mode  optical  signalling  (LED 

red),

●  supply voltage optical signalling (LED 

green),

●  trigger by applying supply voltage,
●  starting  time  adjustment  (STAR  sys-

tem),

●  interval  time  adjustment  of  STAR  to 

DELTA switching,

●  two  independent  relay  outputs,  dry 

contact 2 x NO/NC of 10 A capacity,

●  mounting in distribution boards (TH35 

rail).

The  PCM-08  time  relay  is  used  to 

control  the  STAR-DELTA  contactor 

switch. It is applied in three-phase mo-

tor  control  systems.  This  control  me-

thod  allows  to  reduce  starting  currents 

in  case  of  motor  units  with  a  capacity 

of more than 4-5 kW and additionally it 

provides safety. The PCM-08 device has 

two independent relay outputs activated 

according  to  the  settings  of  P1-P3  po-

tentiometers. It is possible to adjust the 

starting time (in the STAR system) and 

time  interval  of  star  to  delta  switching. 

Relay operation is triggered by applying 

power supply voltage to the L, N supply 

terminals. The device is designed to be 

mounted  in  distribution  boards  (TH35 

rail).  The  LEDs  on  the  front  panel  in-

dicate  power  supply  (LED  green),  and 

device operating mode (LED red).
