Profibus-DP communication over D-Sub/RS-485 enables seamless integration with existing control systems, reducing wiring effort and enabling remote supervision. This minimizes commissioning time and enables centralized protection settings across multiple feeders. Eight inputs and eleven outputs provide expanded I/O for zone selective interlocking and metering functions. The direct IO footprint supports complex protection schemes without adding external modules, cutting cabinet size and wiring complexity. In practice, users can implement current and voltage protection and metering within the same device, improving reliability. Wide power supply range of 19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC, combined with 50/60 Hz compatibility, allows installation in various regional networks without additional power conditioning. This flexibility reduces inventory needs and supports global deployments in factories and data centers. Conformal coated circuit boards protect against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres, extending service life in harsh environments. Removable terminals simplify field updates and maintenance, minimizing downtime during replacements or rewiring. Current sensing inputs (one channel) support accurate protection and metering; phase current options of 5A and 1A accommodate different sensor types. Voltage and power protection metering capabilities help verify load balance and fault detection in real time. IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor provides precise trip timing for coordinated protection, while zone selective interlocking (1) enables selective feeder isolation to minimize outage impact. Mounting via semi-flush installation and removable terminals streamline mounting in tight enclosures and simplify service. Being compatible with Eaton’s E-Series platform, it integrates with other protection relays and modules for scalable, standardized upgrades.

FAQs

Installation begins with confirming Profibus-DP over D-Sub / RS-485 compatibility and wiring the 8 inputs and 11 outputs to the feeder system. Use the semi-flush mounting method to fit compact control cabinets, and connect removable terminals for straightforward field service. Plan for conformal coating in harsh environments to ensure long-term reliability and minimize maintenance downtime.
Key specs include a power supply range of 19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC, operation at 50/60 Hz, and current sensing inputs (1 channel). The device supports current protection and metering, voltage protection and metering, and power protection and metering, with 8 inputs and 11 outputs to enable robust protection schemes and accurate fault detection.
Yes. The unit supports zone selective interlocking with a dedicated interlock capability (1), enabling selective feeder isolation during faults. This minimizes system-wide outages and improves restoration times, particularly in complex switchgear arrangements where coordination with other protective devices is critical.
Prioritize a robust enclosure with conformal-coated circuit boards to resist moisture and dust. Take advantage of removable terminals for easy field updates and maintenance, and ensure proper cable routing to prevent EMI. The device’s wide power range supports regional supply variations, reducing the need for additional power conditioning equipment.
The relay reduces commissioning time through built-in Profibus-DP integration and modular I/O, lowers wiring complexity with removable terminals, and extends service life via conformal coating. These factors translate into lower maintenance downtime, faster fault diagnosis, and greater protection coverage per feeder, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over standard relay implementations.
