FAQs
Install the relay using the projector mounting method and connect the 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs to the generator protection circuits. The terminals are removable for simplified wiring, and the unit supports a wide voltage range (19–300 Vdc / 40–250 Vac) for versatile power feeds. Plan panel space and ensure proper grounding to maximize protection reliability and ease commissioning.
The module offers differential protection, current protection and metering, voltage protection and metering, and power protection with zone selective interlocking. With 16 inputs and 9 outputs, you can implement multi-zone coordination, fast fault isolation, and accurate diagnostics in generator protection and control schemes for reliable plant operation.
Yes. The relay supports PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub and RS-485, enabling seamless integration with PLCs and SCADA systems. This enables real-time status, metering data, and fault reporting, reducing troubleshooting time and improving protection coordination across distributed control architectures.
Ideal for industrial backup gensets, power plants, and critical infrastructure where fast fault isolation and reliable protection are essential. By consolidating multiple protection functions in a single device and enabling zone selective interlocking, you reduce outages, simplify maintenance, and improve overall equipment uptime, delivering measurable ROI through reduced downtime costs.
