MPU-32 Series - Motor Protection Unit
Product Status| Activei
info

The MPU-32 series Motor Protection Unit is used to provide current and temperature-based protection, metering, and data-logging for three-phase, low-voltage, medium-horsepower induction motors. This relay is ideal for retrofitting and upgrading obsolete or aging motor protection using existing CTs. The MPU-32 can be programmed using the front-panel operator interface, the TIA-232 port, or an optional communications network. See the PMA Family of Panel Mount Adapter Kits to replace common obsolete relays.

  • Current Input Module (MPU-CIM) The MPU-CIM Current Input Module is the interface between the MPU-32 relay and the 5-A-secondary, 1-A-secondary, and sensitive current transformers. The MPU-CIM is ordered separately from the MPU-32 and can be surface- or DIN-rail mounted. Wire-clamping terminals are standard, but the MPUCTI is available for those requiring ring-tongue terminals.
