FAQs

Plan for removable terminals and semi-flush mounting to simplify wiring and service. Allocate space for 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs, and prepare for Profibus-DP over D-SUB/RS-485 connections. Ensure a compatible power supply within 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac and provide space for future diagnostics and metering connections.
Use the D-SUB connector to establish Profibus-DP over RS-485 communications. Plan for eight digital inputs and nine outputs wired to the control system, with the device operating at 50/60 Hz and a power range of 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac. Verify correct baud rate and addressing in the PLC/SCADA network for reliable data exchange.
Yes. The relay supports Zone Selective Interlocking with two zones, enabling coordinated protection and faster fault isolation. This capability reduces outage impact on healthy sections, lowers MTTR, and improves overall system reliability in distribution feeders and transformer protection schemes.
Compliances are listed as Manufacturer-verified; for global deployments, confirm CE, SIL, and IP-related certifications with Eaton to ensure regional regulatory compliance and safety standards. Verifying these approvals helps avoid non-conforming installations and streamlines commissioning across sites.
The integrated protection, diagnostics, and standard communications reduce downtime and MTTR by enabling rapid fault isolation and clearer fault data. PLC/SCADA compatibility simplifies integration, lowers commissioning costs, and reduces maintenance windows, delivering longer-term energy-management gains and improved transformer availability.
