GE VERNOVA | TRANSMISSION FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM | MULTILIN F60
The F60, a member of the UR Family of protection relays, provides high performance feeder protection, control, monitoring and metering in an integrated, economical, and compact package. The F60 includes GE Vernova Multilin’s unique high-impedance fault detection for fast and reliable detection of downed conductors.
Applications
- Primary protection and control for feeders on solidly, impedance, or resonant (Petersen coil) ground systems
- Bus blocking/interlocking schemes
- Distribution load shedding schemes based on voltage and frequency elements
- High-speed fault detection for arc flash mitigation
- Throwover schemes (bus transfer scheme applications)
- Backup protection for transmission lines, feeders, and transformers
- Distributed generation (DG) interconnect protection
Key Benefits
- Advanced IEC 61850 Ed. 1 and Ed. 2 certified implementation, complete settings via SCL files and flexible process bus support (IEC 61850-9-2LE, IEC 61869 or IEC 61850-9-2 Hardfiber) ensures interoperability, device managing optimization and reduced cost of ownership
- Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) enables GOOSE messages going beyond the substation, which enables wide area protection and control applications
- Unique and secure downed conductor detection and transient ground fault detection (TGFD)
- Flexible load encroachment allows secure operation during heavy load conditions
- Application flexibility with multiple I/O options including high density I/O, programmable logic, modularity, and specific customization
- Robust network security enabling critical infrastructure protection
- High-speed inter-relay communications reducing relay-to-relay wiring and costs
- Phasor Measurement Unit (synchrophasor) according to IEEE® C37.118 (2011) and IEC® 61850-90-5 support
- An integrated large, full color display, provides real-time visualization and control of the protected bay, via a bay mimic as well as annunciator functionality and graphical visualization of phasors
Key Features
Complete IEC 61850 Process Bus solution providing resource optimization and minimizing total P & C life cycle costs.- Three independent 100Mbps Ethernet ports enable purpose specific LAN support that eliminates latency effect of heavy traffic protocols on mission critical communication services
- Embedded IEEE 1588 time-synch protocol support eliminates dedicated IRIG-B wiring requirements for IEDs
- Direct I/O secures high-speed exchange of binary data between URs
- Increase network availability by reducing failover time to zero through IEC62439-3 PRP, HSR or dual HSR support
Advanced Communications
The F60 provides advanced communications technologies for remote data and engineering access, making it easy and flexible to use and integrate into new and existing infrastructures. Direct support for fiber optic Ethernet provides high-bandwidth communications allowing for low-latency controls and high-speed file transfers of relay fault and event record information. The available three independent and redundant Ethernet options provide the means to create fault tolerant communication architectures in an easy, cost-effective manner.The F60 supports the most popular industry standard protocols enabling easy, direct integration into monitoring and SCADA systems.
