Protection Relays by Application

Covering all applications in medium-voltage and high-voltage protection, from overcurrent or motor to complex distance protection, our protective relays give you the safety and reliability needed to operate with confidence. Add IEC 61850 Ethernet for best-in-class interoperability and communication in MV and HV power networks.
Overcurrent protection can be used for primary protection, or as a backup for phase overcurrent or earth fault protection. Instantaneous, definite time, IDMT, directional or non-directional are types of overcurrent characteristics often used in protection from basic to advanced feeder applications. Available in a range from basic devices, to complex numerical devices with IEC 61850 communication and cybersecurity.
Arc flash protection detects electrical arcs in MV and LV equipment and quickly isolates power to limit arc energy and minimize risks. The ultra-fast leading Vamp arc protection solutions are available in a flexible range, from stand-alone devices through to complex schemes or embedded protection relays, all with the latest connectivity, including IEC 61850, PRP, redundant Ethernet communications and cybersecurity features.
Our Motor Protection relays are designed for motor applications where efficiency and reliability are essential. From simple or basic protection to advanced Motor Protection applications, they use dedicated functions and communication like IEC 61850 that enable you to manage motors more effectively and save time.
As transformers are high-cost, essential assets in power systems, protection schemes should be designed to detect and clear any abnormal conditions quickly. In our advanced transformer protection and control devices, we use leading techniques such as multiple winding differential, REF and thermal algorithms, and gather service data to help schedule preventive maintenance.
Capacitor banks provide essential functionality to help maintain the quality, or power factor of virtually any electrical distribution system. Due to the varied nature, our protection devices are a perfect fit, offering flexibility to adapt to any MV application. With the latest connectivity including IEC 61850, PRP, redundant Ethernet communications and cybersecurity features.
Whether for small, medium or large generators, find devices with dedicated functionality to provide reliable protection of generators and rotating machines. A flexible and scalable range of devices for any generation application; with the latest connectivity including IEC 61850, PRP, redundant Ethernet communications and cybersecurity features.
Line differential protection is designed for high performance protection on overhead lines and cables in 2 or 3 ended schemes. They can be used over long distances together with the latest high speed communication or GPS time synchronism to achieve very fast tripping times for strategic parts of your network. High performance products also offer the latest features including cyber security and redundant Ethernet communications.
Autoreclose and check synchronism protection devices are designed for systems where temporary or transient faults may occur frequently. Without need for other protection functions, they can be applied as stand-alone or multi-function devices in dedicated schemes, from simple to complex reclosing applications in dual circuit breaker or breaker and a half bus or mesh systems.
Our voltage and frequency protection devices are capable of highly versatile applications that can easily integrate into new and existing power distribution systems. With focus on detecting faults based on voltage or frequency measurements, users get a cost-effective solution that can also detect issues relating to power quality or instability.
If you are searching for reliable distance protection for cables and lines, look no further. Our advanced distance protection relays offer field-proven experience with sophisticated algorithms and protection characteristics such as quadrilateral, polygon or mho, which are well known for their high performance in complex applications. With subcycle operation, they offer the latest connectivity with IEC 61850, PRP, redundant Ethernet communications and cybersecurity features.
Interconnection protection relays are designed for cost-effective, highly reliable protection of rotating machines. Within the same device, dynamic line rating (DLR) functionality can be used to also optimize line capacity (up to 50%) based on weather conditions, enabling more wind, solar or distributed generation (DG) to be connected to the grid.
Our marine protection relays use products conforming to all of the necessary standards for marine certification, while offering all of the main features of our common ranges from our wide protection relay portfolio. That means that you get all of the standard functionality, combined with the approvals needed in marine power applications.
