Protection Relays and Controls
Earth-Leakage Protection–Grounded AC or DC Systems
EL731 SERIES
AC/DC Sensitive Earth-Leakage Relay
Description
The EL731 is a microprocessor-based AC/DC Sensitive
Earth-Leakage Relay that offers complete coverage for all
frequencies from 0 to 6,000 Hz. Two CTs are required for the
entire frequency range, or one CT can be used for only low- or
high-frequency detection. An RTD/PTC sensor input allows
over-temperature protection for a motor or drive. The EL731
offers metering, password-protected alarm and trip settings
and optional network communications. It is primarily used to
add low-level ground-fault protection to variable-speed drives,
and to dc circuits.
