The Siemens 3UG3042-1BP50 is a SIRIUS monitoring relay for three-phase mains — it watches all three phases plus the PEN (protective earth + neutral) conductor for under-voltage and over-voltage conditions, and switches its two changeover contacts when a fault is detected. Rated for 3 x 400 V AC at 50/60 Hz, this 45 mm-wide unit snaps onto a standard DIN rail (snap-on mounting per) and is IP20 finger-safe for panel installation. The operating temperature range of -20 to +50 °C covers most indoor control cabinets without derating.
The 3UG3042-1BP50 monitors three-phase voltage plus the PEN conductor — that PEN monitoring is the key differentiator versus a basic phase-loss relay. It detects not just phase imbalance or loss but also neutral displacement (common in IT or TN-C-S systems). The two changeover contacts (2 CO) give you one set for alarm and one for trip, or you can wire them in series for fail-safe.
