PRODUCT OVERVIEW
3.1 IPM V2 Relay
The Ampcontrol IPM V2 Integrated Protection Relay is an intelligent protection relay based on
microprocessor technology. The IPM Integrated Relay provides the necessary functions required for
protecting electrical outlets supplying underground mining machinery, powered by reeling or trailing
cables, in the metalliferous industry. The relay can also be used to provide optimum overload protection
of motors used on conveyors, pumps, fans and compressors. All of the protection functions are
combined into a compact, plug-in unit, which can be easily changed out to minimise down time in the
event of a problem with the relay.
The IPM provides protection and control functions for:
Earth Leakage
Earth Continuity
Insulation Testing
Contactor Fail
Under Voltage
Overcurrent
Short Circuit
Under Current (Pump Snore Protection)
Fan “Burp” Control
The IPM Integrated Protection Relay can provide Machine Data Transfer through the use of a Remote
Termination Module (RTM) connected between the pilot and earth at the machine end of the trailing
cable. Through the use of the RTM Remote Termination Module the relay parameters are automatically
uploaded from a remote machine when a cable is inserted into a power outlet. The RTM also allows for
remote control (starting) of the IPM output.
