• Monitoring of voltage and frequency in single- and three-phase mains
• Error memory for up to 99 entries (incl. cause of error, measured value, relative timestamp)
• Password protection
• Connection to ABB AbilityTM Electrical Distribution Control System

ABB’s CM-IWx insulation monitoring relays for IT systems provide continuous, reliable monitoring. The devices recognize insulation faults as they develop, tripping as soon as the value falls below minimum set thresholds. This makes systems more reliable and prevents interruptions caused by severe secondary insulation faults. Make your monitoring more secure and your maintenance smarter with CM-IWx insulation monitoring relays.

Protecting motors against overheating

ABB’s CM-MSx.xx range of thermistor motor protection relays monitor the winding temperature of motors. PTC sensors integrated in the motor windings directly measure the motor heat. This direct temperature measurement enables the thermistor motor protection relays to evaluate various motor conditions such as overheating, overload and insufficient cooling. ATEX approval is also available for products used in hazardous areas.

Two ranges of temperature monitoring relays meet the needs of your applications

The innovative CM-TCN temperature monitoring relays can be configured either via a back-​lit LCD or smartphone app. Parametrization and configuration are just one touch away with the ABB EPiC app – even in a non-​powered state – reducing installation time by 80%. And with just one relay covering a wide range of application, stocks can be reduced significantly, making ABB’s Smart monitoring relays a true game changer.

The well-established and proven CM-TCS range monitors and measures the temperatures of solids, liquids and gaseous media using a variety of different sensors. Overtemperature and undertemperature monitoring as well as open- or closed-circuit principle monitoring can be configured for any device quickly and easily.  When the temperature falls below or exceeds the set threshold value, output relays change position according to your configured functionality and the front-face LEDs show the current status.

High-performance monitoring of liquid levels

ABB’s liquid level monitoring relays are used for regulation and control of liquid levels and mixture ratios for conductive fluids. The range includes single function and multifunctional devices that can be used for overflow, dry-running protection of pumps, filling and draining applications as well as maximum and minimum level alarms. A wide selection of accessories complete the offer.
