Note: 1. Motor load phase loss cannot be detected. To detect motor load
phase loss, use the K8AB-PM or K8AB-PA.
2. The K8AB-PH output relay is normally operative.
3. L1 and L3 function both as the power supply terminals and as input
terminals. If the voltage drops below the minimum input voltage (60%),
then the Relay will not operate due to an undervoltage.
4. Phase loss is detected based on the phase sequence, so phase loss
cannot be detected for loads that generate inductive power, e.g., due
to monitoring during operation.
5. Phase loss is detected based on voltage, so phase loss cannot be
detected on the load side.

0.54 N·m max.
7. Operating ambient temperature and humidity for this product
must be within the indicated rating when using this product.
8. There is a remote risk of explosion. Do not use this product where
flammable or explosive gas exists.
9. Make sure that no weight rests on the product after installation.
10.To enable an operator to turn off this product easily, install
switches or circuit breakers that conform to relevant requirements
of IEC60947-1 and IEC60947-3, and label them appropriately.
2. Make sure to use setting values appropriate for the controlled
object. Failure to do so can cause unintended operation, and may
result in accident or corruption of the product.
3. Do not use thinner or similar solvent for cleaning. Use commercial
alcohol.
4. When discarding, properly dispose of the product as industrial
waste.
5. Only use this product within a board whose structure allows no
possibility for fire to escape.
About Installation
1. When wiring, use only recommended crimp terminals.
2. Do not block areas around the product for proper dissipation of
heat. (If you do not secure space for heat dissipation, life cycle of
the product will be compromised.)
3. To avoid electrical shocks, make sure that power is not supplied to
the product while wiring.
4. To avoid electrical shocks, make sure that power is not supplied to
the product when performing DIP switch settings.
Noise Countermeasures
1. Do not install the product near devices generating strong high
frequency waves or surges.
2. When using a noise filter, check the voltage and current and
install it as close to the product as possible.
3. In order to prevent inductive noise, wire the lines connected to the
product separately from power lines carrying high voltages or
currents. Do not wire in parallel with or on the same cable as
power lines.
Other measures for reducing noise include running lines along
separate ducts and using shield lines.
To avoid faulty operations,
malfunctions, or failure, observe the
following operating instructions.
1. When turning on the power, make sure to realize rated voltage
within 1 second from the time of first supply of electricity.
2. Make sure to use power supply for operations, inputs, and
transformer with the appropriate capacity and rated burden.
3. Maintenance and handling of this product may only be performed
by qualified personnel.
4. Distortion ratio of input wave forms must be 30% or less. Use of
this product with circuits that have large distortion in wave forms
may result in unwanted operations.
5. Using this product for thyristor controls or inverters will result in
errors.
6. When setting the volume, adjust the control from the minimum
side to the maximum side.

Questions and Answers
Q
Q
Checking Operation
Motor load phase loss cannot be detected during operation.
It can be used to detect phase loss at startup.
Normally, three-phase motors will continue to rotate even if
one phase is open. The three-phase voltage will be induced
at the motor terminals. The diagram shows voltage induction
at the motor terminals when phase R has been lost with a
load applied to a three-phase motor. The horizontal axis
shows the motor load as a percentage of the rated load, and
the vertical axis shows voltage as a percentage of the rated
voltage. The lines in the graph show the voltage induced at
the motor terminals for each load when phase loss occurs
during operation. As the graph shows, voltage is induced at
the motor terminals even if there is phase loss for a motor
load, so the K8AB-PH1 cannot detect phase loss for motor
loads during operation. Use the K8AB-PH1 to detect phase
loss at startup.
Phase Sequence
Switch the wiring, as shown by the dotted lines in the
connection diagram, to reverse the phase sequence and
check that the K8AB operates.
Phase Loss
Create a phase loss for any input phase and check that the
K8AB operates.

Q
Note: This characteristic curve shows the approximate
values only.
In principle, phase loss cannot be detected on the load side
because the K8AB-PH1 measures three-phase voltage to
determine phase loss.
