Is there such a relay that can act as overcurrent as well as undervoltage? I might have mistaken it for something else so I just want to make sure. Thanks in advance.
There are companies that provide microprocessor based "relays" which preforms a large number of protection functions in one "relay" case. e.g.kuraido said:Is there such a relay that can act as overcurrent as well as undervoltage?

An Overcurrent-Undervoltage relay is an electrical device that is used to protect electrical systems from both overcurrent and undervoltage conditions. It is designed to detect and interrupt excessive current flow and low voltage levels to prevent damage to the system.
An Overcurrent-Undervoltage relay works by continuously monitoring the current and voltage levels in an electrical circuit. When the current exceeds a set threshold or the voltage drops below a set threshold, the relay will trip and disconnect the circuit, protecting the system from damage.
The main benefit of using an Overcurrent-Undervoltage relay is that it provides dual protection against both overcurrent and undervoltage conditions. This helps to prevent damage to the electrical system and ensures the safety of equipment and personnel. Additionally, these relays are relatively easy to install and maintain.
Overcurrent-Undervoltage relays are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings where there is a high risk of electrical overload or voltage fluctuations. They can be found in power distribution systems, motor control centers, and other critical electrical equipment.
Yes, most Overcurrent-Undervoltage relays have adjustable settings for both overcurrent and undervoltage thresholds. This allows the relay to be customized for different applications and ensures that the system is adequately protected. It is important to consult the manufacturer's guidelines when adjusting these settings to ensure proper functioning of the relay.
