DIN-rail current monitor for motor and heater circuits
The Omron K8DT-AS2CA is a DIN-rail-mount current sensing relay that monitors AC or DC current from 0.1 A up to 5 A, with an adjustable trip delay from 0.1 to 30 seconds. It outputs a SPDT relay contact rated 5 A at 250 VAC, powered by a 100-240 VAC supply. This is the part you spec into a panel when you need to detect an undercurrent (belt slip, pump dry-run, heater element failure) or overcurrent (jammed conveyor, stalled motor) and trigger an alarm or shutdown.
Trip range and delay: what they mean on the line
The 0.1-5 A AC/DC trip range covers small motor FLA, heater bank draw, and solenoid currents. The 0.1-30 second adjustable delay lets you ignore inrush — a motor starting transient.
