Macromatic Voltage Monitor Relay Comparison



Macromatic VAKPU voltage monitor relay was replaced by the VAKP240A. This chart compares their features and makes note of any differences. If you are replacing the VAKPU with a VAKP240A, keep in mind the VAKP240A has a single voltage of 240V AC. The Pick-Up and Drop-Out voltage, as well as the Time Delay on Drop-Out can be set the same way as with the VAKPU. The Time Delay on Pick-Up is set at 0.5 seconds.
