II. Functional Features
Comprehensive and Practical Protection Functions
Equipped with a full range of practical protection functions, it provides solid safeguards for transformer operation:
- Overcurrent Protection continuously monitors current and acts swiftly when current exceeds the preset threshold, preventing transformer damage from overheating caused by excessive current.
- Overvoltage Protection promptly cuts off the circuit in case of abnormal voltage surges, avoiding insulation breakdown and extending the transformer's service life.
- Ground Fault Protection accurately identifies ground faults and responds rapidly to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
- Resonant Overvoltage Protection specifically addresses potential resonant overvoltage, providing early warnings and measures to prevent severe transformer damage.
- Undervoltage Protection acts immediately when voltage disappears, avoiding operation under abnormal low voltage and reducing damage risks.
- Overload Protection continuously monitors transformer load, issuing alarms and reducing load when overloaded for long periods to prevent overheating. These protection functions work in synergy to build an impregnable safety barrier for transformers.
High-Precision Parameter Measurement and Monitoring
It accurately measures and monitors key transformer operation parameters (current, voltage, power, frequency, etc.) and related parameters like individual harmonics and total harmonic distortion. The high-precision measurements provide reliable data support for O&M personnel, enabling them to quickly assess the transformer's health status in real-time monitoring, fault troubleshooting, and in-depth analysis, and take effective measures to ensure optimal operation.
Intelligent Adaptive Regulation
Featuring advanced adaptive functions, it automatically adjusts and optimizes working parameters based on actual transformer operation:
- Dynamically corrects CT ratio mismatch to ensure accurate current measurement and protection, avoiding misoperations or deviations.
- The adaptive time overcurrent element intelligently adjusts overcurrent protection response time according to load changes, enhancing sensitivity and reliability.
- The adaptive harmonic suppression function effectively addresses complex grid harmonics, reducing their impact on transformers and improving system stability. These adaptive features significantly enhance transformer system reliability, reduce failure rates, and cut maintenance costs and downtime.
Convenient and Flexible Communication and Configuration
Supporting common communication protocols (RS232, RS485, Ethernet) and perfect compatibility with mainstream standards (Modbus, Profibus), it easily integrates into various automation systems. These interfaces enable efficient remote data transmission, real-time status monitoring, and precise remote control. The relay also offers a simulation test function for users to simulate faults on a computer, with a 40-character backlit LCD and input keyboard for manual setpoint adjustment. It supports EnerVista 745 software for convenient setpoint management, improving configuration efficiency and flexibility.
Exceptional Reliability and Durability
Manufactured with high-quality materials and advanced processes, it ensures excellent reliability and durability. Some models are optimized for harsh environments, such as sealed rubber strip housings for dust prevention and good electromagnetic interference resistance, enabling stable operation in complex industrial settings. This significantly reduces failure rates and maintenance costs, providing long-term reliable use.
III. Technical Parameters

With excellent power adaptability, it supports 90-300 VDC and 70-265 VAC control power inputs, seamlessly adapting to different power systems. The operating frequency range of 48-62Hz covers most global power standards, ensuring wide geographical applicability.
Electrical Parameters
Offering multiple rated current specifications for flexible selection based on transformer load, it ensures accurate current signal acquisition. The phase CT secondary coil (common configuration) precisely collects phase current signals for reliable protection algorithms. Voltage input burden is <0.025 VA (at 120V), guaranteeing low power consumption. The source VT range of 2-600 kV / 60-120 V adapts to various voltage-level transformers.
Interface Parameters
Equipped with 16 logic input ports for comprehensive environmental and control signal acquisition, 8 output relays, and 2 analog output ports (4-20mA standard), it connects easily to external devices. An RS232 program port facilitates programming and configuration.
Other Parameters
Some models have high protection ratings (dustproof and splash-proof), suitable for harsh environments. The operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C adapts to extreme conditions, and it withstands up to 90% non-condensing humidity. With dimensions designed for easy installation and a weight of about 4.8kg, it balances portability and stability.
IV. Operation Guide
Local Operation
- Boot and Initialization: After power-on, the relay auto-starts self-check and initialization. Front-panel LEDs flash in sequence, and the 40-character LCD displays self-check details (hardware status, software version). Upon completion, the LCD switches to real-time transformer parameters (three-phase current, voltage, etc.) for immediate status monitoring.
- Menu Operation: Press the "Menu" button to enter the main menu (Settings, Monitoring, Fault Records). Use up/down keys to navigate and "Enter" to access submenus.
- Parameter Setting: In submenus (e.g., Transformer Parameters, Protection Settings), set rated power, current, voltage, protection thresholds, etc., using digital keys and confirm with "Enter".
- Monitoring Function: View real-time parameters (current, voltage, power, frequency) and operating status (running, stopped, fault) in the Monitoring menu for timely issue detection.
- Fault Records: Access Fault Records to view fault types, timestamps (to the second), and parameter values at fault occurrence for efficient troubleshooting.
- Exit Operation: Press "Exit" to return to upper menus until the main parameter display is reached, maintaining real-time monitoring.
Remote Operation
- Communication Connection: Ensure correct wiring and matching parameters (baud rate, address) for RS485/Ethernet connections. Verify physical connectivity and protocol settings in Communication Settings.
- Monitoring Software Operation: Open the host software, locate the device icon, and establish a connection. The interface displays real-time parameters consistent with local monitoring.
- Remote Parameter Setting: Adjust transformer, protection, and communication parameters in the software interface, following local menu logic. Strictly manage operation permissions to prevent misconfigurations.
- Remote Control: Use software buttons (Start/Stop) for remote transformer control. Ensure real-time field status monitoring during operations to prevent safety incidents.
