PHASE SEQUENCE DETECTOR {Abstract}

The instrument presented here, the PHASE SEQUENCE DETECTOR WITH MOTOR ROTATION SELECTOR permits the electrical contractor or industrial maintenance electrician to permanently connect and tape the terminals of the motor being installed, without having to first energize the motor by a temporary hookup from a power source, if available, to determine motor rotation.
 Therefore, this relay instrument eliminates the need for temporary connections that can be time consuming, costly and quite hazardous, particularly where many large, high-voltage motors are involved. Also, certain types of drives should never be rotated in the wrong direction. In such cases, the temporary hookup or trial method, having a fifty-fifty chance of being wrong, can do serious harm.
