Technical Specifications / Parameters
Parameter Specification
Manufacturer Order Code 1SVR040008R1300
Product Family / Series ABB CR-M / CM-MSN.x Series (Current Monitoring Relays)
Device Type Universal Current Monitoring Relay
Monitoring Functions • Overcurrent (I>)
• Undercurrent (I<)
• Phase Failure Detection (when used in 3-phase mode with multiple relays or a specific variant)
Current Input • Direct Input: Typically up to 5A AC via internal measurement circuit.
• External CT Input: For higher currents, connects to standard 1A or 5A secondary current transformers.
Setting Range (via DIP) Adjustable over a wide range (e.g., from 10% to 200% of the CT secondary current), selectable via DIP switches.
Power Supply (Us) Wide-range 24...240V AC/DC (auto-sensing).
Output Relay 1 Changeover (CO) Contact (SPDT: 1 NO + 1 NC)
• Contact Rating: Typically 6A / 250V AC (resistive load).
Setpoint Adjustment Via rotary DIP switches on the front/side for selecting current range and trip threshold (as a percentage of the set nominal current).
Time Delays Adjustable start-up delay (to ignore inrush currents) and trip delay (for stable operation).
Status Indication LEDs for Power (ON), Alarm/Trip, and sometimes Load Current Present.
Mounting DIN Rail Mounting (35mm).
Module Width 22.5mm (1 module width) or 17.5mm (for ultra-compact variants).
Operating Temperature -25°C ... +55°C.
Standards & Approvals IEC/EN 60255, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14, CE, cULus listed.
Connection Screw-clamp terminals.
Typical Applications • Motor protection against overload, underload (e.g., pump dry-run), and phase loss.
• Heating element monitoring for broken filaments.
• Fan and blower supervision (detecting belt slippage or blockage via undercurrent).
• Pump sequencing and duty control.
• General machine monitoring for tool breakage or jamming.
The ABB 1SVR040008R1300 is a universal current monitoring relay from the ABB CR-M series (also known as the CM-MSN.x or Miniature Signal series for current). This compact electronic relay is designed to monitor AC current in single-phase or three-phase systems. It detects abnormal current conditions such as overcurrent, undercurrent, and phase loss (in multi-phase configurations) by measuring the current flowing through its integrated current transformer (CT) or an external CT. Upon detecting a fault that exceeds its adjustable thresholds, it activates its output relay to provide alarm signals or initiate protective shutdowns, safeguarding motors, pumps, heating elements, and other electrical loads.
