FAQs
Plan for semi-flush mounting and the use of removable terminals to simplify wiring and maintenance. Ensure the control cabinet supports a 19-300Vdc or 40-250Vac supply and 50/60 Hz operation. The unit’s 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs enable flexible protection schemes, while the conformal coating supports reliability in harsh environments.
The relay includes Differential Protection and a Trip Coil Monitor to validate trip integrity and prevent unnecessary outages. With 2 current sensing inputs and a voltage sensing input, it provides accurate protection calculations, reducing misoperations. Sensitive Ground Input further enhances protection in installations with grounding challenges, improving overall system reliability.
Yes, it supports advanced interfaces such as IRIG-B and URTD for time synchronization and communication. Zone Selective Interlocking helps coordinate protection signals among multiple generators, while the 16 inputs and 9 outputs allow seamless integration with metering and control schemes in modern power systems.
The product lists Compliance as 'Contact Manufacturer,' so verify CE markings, safety-related SIL compatibility, and enclosure IP ratings with Eaton or authorized distributors before purchase. These verifications ensure the relay meets your regulatory and site-specific safety standards for your geographic region.
The warranty follows Eaton's policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular maintenance, enabled by removable terminals and modular IO, reduces downtime and prevents unexpected failures. The protective features—differential protection, metering, and interlocking—translate to lower repair costs and higher generator availability over the equipment lifecycle.
