Functional Features:
  • Three-stage overcurrent protection (50/51): Definite-time and inverse-time curves, IEC standard curves supported
  • Residual overcurrent protection (50N/51N): Earth-fault detection and protection
  • Overvoltage / undervoltage protection
  • Integrated fault recording function
Application Scenarios:​ Medium-voltage distribution feeders, distribution transformer protection, and distribution automation systems.
Installation Requirements:
  • Mount in a standard relay cabinet / switchgear panel
  • CT secondary circuits must be reliably grounded (grounding resistance ≤ 4 Ω)
  • Auxiliary power wiring must observe correct L/N polarity
  • Communication cabling shall use shielded twisted pair; maximum communication distance 1200 m
Usage Precautions:
  • CT ratio must be accurately configured in the relay settings, otherwise protection pick-up values will be incorrect
  • Never connect voltage signals to current input terminals
  • Verify all wiring is tight and secure before energising the relay
  • Recommended calibration interval: once every 2 years to ensure protection accuracy
