    Phase Failure Protection



    If one phase is lost, the overload device normally trips out stopping the compressor

    I believe that I can fit an additional control that will do the same , ie, detect phase loss

    Would like a picture or source to see what it looks like

    Im also keen to find out about 3 phase rotation control, which will detect if phases have been switched around

    Re: Phase Failure Protection

    RS as stated carry phase protectors, etc. Try RS stock no. 511-9008 - this is a Broyce Phase Failure, Phase Sequence and Under Voltage device for about £50... can't be bad

    You could always get a rotation check PCB from Toshiba, they fit them as a descrete board into their RAV condensing units.

    ACR News for November carried an article on the PSF 2256 by EDC which gives both phase failure and incorrect phase rotation protection. Quoted tel no: 01189 842040

    No seriously, www.phaselossprotection.com there are loads of them. these devices are becoming more commonplace every day. mostly fitted to water chillers but even small split ac systems in case people have difficulty in seeing which way a fan is running.
