Load shedding relay with backlit LCD display for mounting on the DIN rail. Adjustable threshold and switch-off delay as well as precise resolution of 0.01 kW. The relay is connected downstream of the circuit breaker and compares the actual power consumption of the system with the preset permissible maximum value. It prevents the circuit breaker from tripping by switching off non-primary consumers one after the other when the preset threshold is exceeded. A red LED and an integrated buzzer indicate that the consumers have been switched off. The device attempts to automatically switch the previously disconnected consumers back on at preset intervals.
