Broyce Control – B8PM – 3‑Phase Under‑Voltage, Phase‑Loss & Sequence Relay
The Broyce Control B8PM is a 3‑phase monitoring relay designed to safeguard three-phase systems by detecting under-voltage, phase-loss, and phase-sequence errors. DIN-rail mounted on a PF8-S 8-pin base, it features an adjustable trip delay and a SPDT relay output. This unit is discontinued but remains a reliable choice for legacy systems.
