function

RCP

RCU

The phase control relay monitors phase

order and asymmetry as well as voltage
presence on all 3 phases of a three-phase
circuit (motor supply, etc.). It reports phase
loss or reversal.

The voltage control relay monitors the

potential difference of a circuit and reports
when the preset threshold is reached.

RCI

The compressor control relay monitors the

compressor power supply and prevents its
immediate restart on detection of a voltage
break or drop.

The current control relay monitors the

current flowing in a circuit and reports when
the preset threshold is reached.
