Device Type Numerical Feeder Protection and Control Relay (IED)
Key Standards IEC 60255, IEC 61850 (Ed. 2), IEC 60870-5-103
Rated Auxiliary Supply (Us) 24-48 V DC, 48-250 V DC, 110-240 V DC/AC (Multiple versions available, e.g., -A, -D, -G suffixes).
Analog Inputs
• Current (CT) Inputs 5 current inputs: 3 phase (IL1, IL2, IL3), 1 neutral/earth (IN), 1 sensitive earth fault (optional, via core-balance CT). Configurable for 1 A or 5 A secondary.
• Voltage (VT) Inputs 4 voltage inputs: 3 phase-to-earth voltages (UL1, UL2, UL3) + 1 residual voltage (U0) or an additional busbar voltage for synchrocheck. Typical ratings: 100/110 V or 100/√3 V.
Core Protection Functions Comprehensive suite including:
• Three-phase non-directional/directional overcurrent (50/51, 67)
• Earth-fault protection (50N/51N, 67N) – sensitive & residual
• Two-step negative-sequence overcurrent (46) for unbalance
• Two-step thermal overload (49) for cables/transformers
• Two-step over/under voltage (27/59)
• Two-step over/under frequency (81)
• Auto-reclosing (79) for overhead lines
• Circuit breaker failure protection (50BF)
Control & Interlocking • Bay control for up to 5 objects (e.g., CB, 2 disconnectors, 2 earthing switches).
• Programmable logic with CFC (Continuous Function Chart) editor in PCM600.
• Synchronism check (25) and live/dead line monitoring.
Measurement & Metering High-accuracy measurement (Class 0.5) of:
