Protection Relays/IED
Protection IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices)
Protection IEDs are the core of modern substation automation systems. These microprocessor-based devices perform real-time monitoring, protection, and control of electrical assets such as transformers, feeders, motors, and busbars.Â
Types of Protection IEDs:Â
- Feeder Protection Relays – designed for medium-voltage feeders and transformers.Â
- Transformer Protection Relays – provide differential and overcurrent protection for power transformers.Â
- Motor and Generator Protection – safeguard rotating machines from faults and abnormal conditions.Â
- Busbar Protection – offering fast and selective protection for complex busbar configurations.Â
- Distance and Line Protection – used in transmission networks for fault location and isolation.Â
- Multifunction IEDs – combine protection, control, and monitoring in a single device, supporting IEC 61850 and legacy protocols. Â
Key Features:Â Â
- IEC 61850 Ed. 2.1 complianceÂ
- Built-in HMI for local operationÂ
- Cybersecurity and remote access capabilitiesÂ
- Integration with SCADA and EMS systemsÂ
