What does a WireAlert do?
A WireAlert device detects a potentially dangerous high impedance return path loop in an electrical network which may be indicative of a broken neutral and, if found, activates an alarm that will alert a householder to the possible fault.
What else can the device detect?
The device also has low voltage and high voltage alarm functions.
Alarm Thresholds
- Return path loop impedance 1.6 Ohms
- Low voltage alarm 200 VAC (5 min. running average)
- High voltage alarm 270 VAC (5 min. running average)
Electrical
- nominal 230 VAC
- operating range 20 VAC – 300 VAC
- 50 Hz
- 25 mA (max) during monitoring mode
Design Life
- 10 years
- As of April 2009, units under accelerated testing have completed 121,680 cycles or the equivalent of 13.8 years life, this is excluding acceleration factors on the order of 4 times which make for an equivalent testing time of 55 years.
