Description

Overview

GEYA GRLE8 Earth Leakage Relay is a Type A True RMS protection device designed to monitor and measure residual current in single and three-phase power systems. Featuring adjustable tripping delays and current settings, it ensures optimal electrical safety and equipment protection. By utilizing a Zero Phase Current Transformer (ZCT), it accurately detects leakage currents and prevents potential fire hazards and equipment damage caused by earth faults.

Key Features

  • Type A True RMS Measurement: Guarantees accurate reading of both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
  • ZCT Fault Detection: Automatically detects and alerts for open or short circuits in the connected Zero Phase Current Transformer.
  • Customizable Protection: Offers selectable tripping delay times and residual current levels to meet specific site requirements.
  • Convenient Testing & Reset: Equipped with panel buttons and remote capabilities for easy testing and manual/automatic resetting. (GRLE8-03 features independent Test and Reset buttons).
  • Universal Mounting: Compact design for standard 35mm DIN rail installation, saving space in control panels.

Applications

Ideal for continuous monitoring of electrical installations in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure. It is widely used in main distribution boards, motor control centers, and critical power circuits to provide reliable earth fault protection and maintain system continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the GRLE8 Earth Leakage Relay?

The GRLE8 is an industrial-grade protection device designed to monitor and measure residual (leakage) current in single-phase or three-phase electrical systems. It helps prevent electrical shocks and fire hazards caused by earth faults.

2. What functions does it provide?

It provides Type A True RMS measurement via an external Zero Phase Current Transformer (ZCT). It features adjustable tripping delays, detects ZCT wiring faults (open or short circuit), and triggers relay outputs to disconnect power when a dangerous leakage current is detected.

3. What are the key parameters for model selection?

When selecting a model, consider the number of output contacts required (1 SPDT vs. 2 SPDT), the maximum tripping delay time needed (up to 9s or 5s), and whether you prefer step-adjustable current settings (01/02 models) or a continuously adjustable range (03 model).

4. What options are currently available?

We offer three versions:
GRLE8-01: 1 SPDT output, step-adjustable settings, up to 9s delay.
GRLE8-02: 2 SPDT outputs, step-adjustable settings, up to 9s delay.
GRLE8-03: 2 SPDT outputs, continuously adjustable settings (30mA-30A), up to 5s delay, with independent Test and Reset buttons on the panel.

5. What standards does it comply with and which markets is it designed for?

The GRLE8 series strictly complies with GB/T 14048.2 and IEC 60947-2 standards. It is designed for global industrial, commercial, and infrastructure markets requiring reliable, DIN-rail mounted electrical protection.

6. What are the installation precautions?

The device must be installed on a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure proper wiring to a compatible ZCT. Important: For life protection purposes, the tripping delay function is automatically disabled when the residual current is set to 30mA. Ensure the operating environment remains between -20°C and +55°C with non-condensing humidity below 95%.
