G60 Generator Protection System


G60 Generator Protection System

 

The G60 Generator Management Relay, part of the UR family of protective relays, is a microprocessor-based relay intended for the protection of AC generators. It may be used on any size of generator driven by steam, gas and hydraulic turbine.

Protection functions include stator differential, 3rd harmonic stator ground differential and 3rd harmonic neutral undervoltage for 100% stator ground differential protection, sensitive directional power for low forward power and reverse power protection, loss of excitation, inadvertent energization, overexcitation, current unbalance, out-of-step, and a whole suite of under- and overvoltage, and overcurrent functions.

What's New in the G60:

New Remote RTD (RRTD) module
The Multilin G60 supports the RRTD module for remotely monitoring and metering up to 12 programmable RTDs. The RRTD is designed for installation close to the generator to reduce the number of RTD cables and provides temperature backup protection (firmware version 5.70).
Fully Compatible with GE's Multlilin HardFiber System - Provides support for GE's IEC 61850 HardFiber Process Bus Solution:
- Complete IEC61850 Process Bus Solution providing resource optimization and minimizing total P&C lifecycle costs
Security Enhancements - Enabling NERC CIP compliance:
- Dual Permission access requiring live permission from both the user and from SCADA operators before settings can be changed or commands can be given to the relay
- Logging of user commands in the security audit trail relay - creates a record and sequence of events for troubleshooting and security auditing
Ambient Temperature Monitoring:
- Provides alarms when the ambient temperature exceeds hot extreme
