1SVR730774R1300 ABB CM-PAS.31S Three-Phase Monitoring Relay 160-300 V AC

Why Choose the ABB CM-PAS.31S Three-Phase Monitoring Relay?

The ABB CM-PAS.31S (1SVR730774R1300) is a versatile three-phase monitoring relay designed to supervise phase failure, phase sequence and phase unbalance in industrial electrical systems. Part of the ABB CM-PAS monitoring relay series, it helps protect motors, machinery and electrical equipment against abnormal three-phase supply conditions.

Designed for a three-phase 160–300 V AC line-to-line measuring range, the CM-PAS.31S continuously monitors the connected electrical supply using a True RMS measuring principle. Its adjustable phase unbalance threshold and selectable tripping delay allow engineers to configure monitoring behaviour according to the requirements of the installation.

The relay features two change-over output contacts, an adjustable 0 or 0.1–30 s tripping delay and three LED status indicators. Powered directly by the monitored circuit, the ABB CM-PAS.31S requires no separate auxiliary supply. Its compact 22.5 mm DIN rail-mounted housing and screw-terminal connections make it suitable for industrial control cabinets and automated machinery.

Reliable Three-Phase Monitoring for Industrial Motor Protection

Industrial motors and automated machinery depend on stable three-phase electrical supplies for reliable operation. Missing phases, incorrect phase sequence and excessive voltage imbalance can cause motor overheating, reduced torque, unexpected shutdowns and equipment damage. The ABB CM-PAS.31S three-phase monitoring relay helps identify these conditions and provides switching signals that can be integrated into protective control circuits.

The CM-PAS.31S monitors the connected L1, L2 and L3 supply conductors and evaluates the voltage conditions using its True RMS measuring principle. If a monitored phase is lost, the phase sequence is incorrect or the measured phase unbalance exceeds the configured threshold, the relay responds according to its monitoring logic and selected delay setting.

The adjustable phase unbalance threshold allows the monitoring sensitivity to be matched to the requirements of the installation. This is particularly useful where supply voltage imbalance must be detected before it causes prolonged stress on motors or other three-phase equipment.

The relay also provides a configurable tripping delay of 0 or 0.1–30 s. This allows the response to be set for immediate monitoring or delayed operation, depending on the application. The delay is intended to help coordinate the relay response with the characteristics of the monitored electrical system.

With two change-over output contacts, the CM-PAS.31S can interface with compatible contactor control circuits, programmable logic controllers and alarm systems. The relay is a monitoring and signalling device rather than a circuit breaker or motor overload relay. Where disconnection of a motor supply is required, its contacts should operate an appropriately rated external switching device.

Its self-powered design, compact DIN rail housing and front-mounted adjustments simplify installation and commissioning. The three LED indicators provide convenient status information, while the optional ABB COV.11 transparent cover can help prevent unintended changes to the configured settings.
