Frequency Monitor

Our Frequency Monitor

The frequency monitor available at Kortz is an instrument based on digital technology. It enables the detection of operating frequencies that fail onboard appliances. 

The monitor is essential for keeping track of the status of equipment. It protects 240-volt equipment run on a generator plant, cruising alternator, and other generating sets regardless of size. This feature gives control over the frequency of outputs in an appliance. It is fundamentally used to secure electric motors. In addition to this, the engine revolutions on any piece of equipment can be precisely set without the need to speculate or even use a tachometer.

Features of Our Frequency Monitor 

Display

The display on the monitor’s panel is certainly a plus as it can adapt to both day and nighttime conditions. The light will fade as natural light begins to reduce.

Prevents Overloading

The monitor sounds an alarm when operating above the prescribed level of frequency. The alarm is in the form of audible and visual sounds triggering a response in the facility. If this error in operating levels does not cease but progresses for more than five seconds, the equipment is fitted to deploy protection for other appliances.

Connection

Where appliances are isolated from the supply, the equipment can be set up to control the main power supply through an electromechanical contactor and to shut down the generator; the system for starting or stopping power on the generator could be fused with a relay from the instrument. This will enable it to control the workings of the generator. If this is done, you can automatically turn the power on as soon as the frequency returns to normal.

What You Stand to Gain

The frequency monitor is the right kind of instrument for protecting your appliances from damage or overload. It can be triggered into a controlled response by an abnormal operating frequency. 

To prevent the situation from going on for too long, the monitor will cut power automatically to enable you to implement a safe and sure response. 

It covers all the equipment with its display of exact readings from the mains frequency, generator, or alternator. It also has an attractive panel display with LED flashes to alert you in cases of an operating error visually.

When the alarm is activated, you can initiate some shedding of the load from the affected appliance. You can also investigate the cause of the error and implement corrections necessary to right the device.

The Idea Behind A Frequency Monitor 

This monitor was designed with the protection of marine installations in mind. It offers an autonomously functioning brand of protection for your appliances. While it cannot rectify all the issues, it was built to identify warning signals and react accordingly.

This gives you the much needed time to move in and effect a change. Generally, it is intended to make running the vessel a lot easier, responsive, and less likely to cause damage to onboard equipment. In ultimate terms, there is less for you to worry about while the system works.
