GIC & HIQUEL Single Phase Current Monitoring Relays – Load & Motor Protection GIC & HIQUEL Single Phase Current Monitoring Relays
GIC and HIQUEL Single Phase Current Monitoring Relays provide reliable protection for motors, heating elements, and single-phase equipment by detecting overload, underload, or open circuit conditions. These compact monitoring relays ensure process stability, extend equipment lifespan, and prevent costly downtime caused by abnormal current levels.
🔧 Technical Highlights:
- Function: Monitors current in single-phase AC circuits to detect overload, underload, or phase interruption faults.
- Measurement Range: Typically 1–20 A (with direct sensing) or wider ranges using external current transformers (CTs).
- Trip Settings: Adjustable upper and lower trip thresholds with hysteresis for stable operation.
- Trip Delay: Adjustable delay to prevent nuisance tripping during transient load changes.
- Supply Voltage: Universal 24–240 V AC/DC (model dependent).
- Outputs: SPCO or DPCO relay contacts for alarm or shutdown circuits.
- Indication: LED indicators for power, fault, and relay output status.
- Mounting: DIN rail 35 mm housing for compact control panel installation.
- Compliance: CE and RoHS; conforms to IEC/EN 60255 industrial protection standards.
✅ Benefits:
- Prevents damage to motors, pumps, and heaters caused by overload or no-load operation.
- Improves system reliability through continuous load monitoring.
- Fast fault response ensures immediate protection and minimal downtime.
- Adjustable trip and delay settings adapt easily to different load types.
- Compact and maintenance-free design from trusted brands GIC and HIQUEL.
🚀 Applications:

GIC and HIQUEL single phase current monitoring relays deliver precise, adjustable, and durable current protection for industrial and commercial equipment, ensuring safe operation and reduced maintenance costs.
FAQs
- Q: What does a current monitoring relay do?
A: It measures the load current and triggers a trip or alarm when the current exceeds or drops below the defined threshold, protecting against overload, underload, or open-circuit faults. - Q: Can these relays be used with external current transformers?
A: Yes. Many models support CT inputs for monitoring higher currents in large motors or power circuits.
