Monitor and control the MP8000 Bluetooth® Overload Relay on your Apple® device. Use the MP8000 app to configure the relay, view real-time data, and troubleshoot fault codes via a Bluetooth interface in the relay. No need to open the control panel. Keeping the panel door closed, keeps workers safer from the dangers of arc flash.

MP8000 RELAY The MP8000 enhanced overload relay protects any motor drawing 0.5-1,000 full load Amps (external CTs are required above 100 Amps). It is designed for single or 3-phase systems with operating voltages of 90-690 VAC (use of external potential transformers can extend upper voltage range above 690 VAC).
