Feeder Protection Relay​ Product Introduction:

          The Feeder Protection Relay is an integrated protection, control, and monitoring device specifically designed for ​medium-voltage (MV) distribution feeder circuits, typically operating at ​6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV, or up to 35kV. It provides essential functions including ​overcurrent, earth fault, sensitive earth fault, directional protection, and auto-reclosing​ to safeguard overhead lines and underground cable feeders against faults.

          The Feeder Protection Relay Installed within ​feeder switchgear cabinets or cubicles in primary substations, industrial facilities, and commercial power distribution centers, this relay ensures reliable operation of outgoing feeders supplying downstream transformers, industrial loads, or other substations.

          The Feeder Protection Relay also delivers critical ​electrical parameter measurement (voltage, current, power, energy)​​ and ​event/disturbance recording​ capabilities, making it indispensable for the security and efficiency of radial and lightly meshed MV distribution networks and critical power supplies.
