Flexible I/O and protection topology translates directly into a tailored protection scheme for diverse generator configurations. With 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs, engineers can implement differential, voltage, current, and power protection with rich metering for precise control. This reduces nuisance trips and simplifies wiring, lowering installation time and commissioning risk while supporting zone selective interlocking for coordinated protection across adjacent generators. The device’s removable terminals and conformal-coated circuit boards bolster durability in harsh environments, cutting maintenance costs and downtime. Compatibility with RS-485 Modbus and Ethernet enables seamless integration with existing SCADA, EMS, and PLC networks, delivering centralized monitoring and faster fault diagnostics. The 19–300 Vdc and 40–250 Vac power ranges simplify supply sourcing, and the URTD IRIG-B and Trip Coil Monitor options provide advanced control and test capabilities for mission-critical applications. Overall, this relay offers a robust, scalable protection platform that aligns with industry practices for generator protection and metering in industrial facilities.
