Single-phase Current Relay K8AK-AS Ideal for Current Monitoring for Industrial Facilities and Equipment. Monitor for overcurrents or undercurrents. Use commercially available CTs (CT current on secondary side: 0 to 1 A or 0 to 5 A). Manual resetting and automatically resetting supported by one Relay. Startup lock and operating time can be set separately. One SPDT output relay, 5 A at 250 VAC (resistive load). Output relay can be switched between normally open and normally closed. Output status can be monitored using LED indicator. Inputs are isolated from the power supply. Refer to Safety Precautions on page 9. Refer to page 8 for commonly asked questions.

For the most recent information on models that have been certified for safety standards, refer to your OMRON website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is direct input possible with the K8AK-AS3 model for high current monitoring?

No, the K8AK-AS3 is designed to be used only in combination with an OMRON K8AC-CT200L Current Transformer (CT).

What are the options for resetting the unit after an overcurrent trip?

The relay supports both manual and automatic resetting, and this function can be switched between the two methods.

How do I determine if my wiring is appropriate for the terminals?

Use the provided ferrules guide to help determine suitability; remember that ferrules with insulating sleeves must be used with twisted wires.

What is the maximum current monitor range supported by the K8AK-AS2 model?

The K8AK-AS2 supports an operating value setting range of 0.8 to 8 A AC/DC when using commercially available CTs.
