Functional Features
- Comprehensive Feeder Protection: Integrates multiple protection functions such as overcurrent, voltage, frequency, and circuit breaker failure, covering various faults that may occur during feeder operation (e.g., short circuit, grounding, overvoltage, underfrequency). Through precise setting parameters and fast action response (minimum action time ≤10ms), it minimizes the impact of faults on the system.
- Intelligent Reclosing Control: Supports adaptive reclosing logic, which can automatically adjust the reclosing strategy according to fault types (transient/permanent). For example, it quickly recloses to restore power after transient faults (such as lightning flashover) and locks reclosing in case of permanent faults to avoid secondary damage to equipment, improving power supply reliability.
- High-Precision Measurement and Metering: With 0.2-class measurement accuracy, it can real-time collect parameters such as current, voltage, power, and electric energy of the feeder, supporting harmonic analysis (up to the 21st harmonic). It provides accurate data for grid energy efficiency management and load monitoring without the need for additional metering instruments.
- Flexible Communication and Networking: Supports mainstream industrial communication protocols such as IEC 61850, Modbus, and DNP3.0. The Ethernet interface supports dual-network redundancy design, enabling seamless integration into SCADA systems or intelligent substation automation systems. It realizes remote monitoring, parameter setting, and fault diagnosis, adapting to the development needs of digital grids.

Digital I/O, communication interfaces, etc., can be expanded according to needs, supporting online hot swapping (some modules) for easy system upgrade and maintenance. It supports multiple sets of protection setting groups (up to 16 groups), which can be switched through external signals or communication commands to adapt to protection needs under different operating modes.
Application Fields
- Power Distribution Network: In ring main units and branch boxes of urban distribution networks, as the core feeder protection equipment, it realizes overcurrent and grounding fault protection for 10kV/20kV feeders. Cooperating with the automatic reclosing function, it improves the reliability of the distribution network. For example, in residential area distribution lines, it quickly isolates short-circuit faults and restores power supply in non-faulty areas.
- Industrial Power Distribution Systems: In the distribution networks of large industrial parks such as steel, chemical, and automobile manufacturing, it protects key circuits such as workshop feeders and transformer incoming lines. Through communication with PLC systems, it realizes load monitoring and interlock control, preventing production line shutdowns caused by feeder faults. For example, in chemical parks, it protects feeders connected to reactors to avoid voltage abnormalities affecting production safety.
- Substation Automation: In 35kV and below substations, as a protection device for outgoing intervals, it links with on-site monitoring systems (such as SCADA) to realize remote control and status monitoring of feeders. It supports digital communication under the IEC 61850 protocol, meeting the "four remotes" (remote measurement, remote signaling, remote control, remote adjustment) functional requirements of intelligent substations.
- New Energy Grid Connection: In the collection lines of photovoltaic power plants and wind farms, it protects feeders from faults such as short circuits and overcurrents. At the same time, through high-precision measurement functions, it monitors grid-connected current, power factor, and other parameters to ensure compliant grid connection of new energy power generation systems. For example, in the combiner box feeders of photovoltaic arrays, it prevents feeder overcurrent caused by component faults.
- Commercial and Public Facilities: In the power distribution systems of important places such as large shopping malls, hospitals, and data centers, it protects low-voltage feeders (such as power supply circuits for lighting, air conditioning, and IT equipment). Through voltage/frequency protection, it avoids equipment damage due to power abnormalities. For example, in data centers, it quickly isolates overloaded feeders to ensure the stable operation of key equipment such as servers.
