Protection Relays

MiCOM P14x
Feeder Management Relays

MiCOM P14x feeder management relays provide an integrated solution

for the complete protection, control and monitoring of overhead lines and
underground cables from distribution to transmission voltage levels.
The wide range of auxiliary functions provides the user with sufficient
information to efficiently maintain the power system and its components
including circuit breakers, CTs, VTs, etc.
P141, P142 in 40tE A customizable, friendly, multi-lingual user interface and programmable
graphical scheme logic allows for simple and flexible applications on any
network.
With optional High Speed - High Break contacts, the high break
performance ensures no burn-out of contacts during normal operation or
situations such as breaker failure, or defective CB auxiliary contacts.
The need for external electromechanical trip relays can be reduced/
removed by transferring the high rating and durability duties into the MiCOM
device thus giving further application and cost benefits.
Connecting the relay to virtually any kind of Substation Automation System
or SCADA is made possible by the wide range of updated communication
P143 in 60tE
protocols, including IEC 61850. A range of hardware interfaces are
available for easy integration into any new or legacy system.

APPlICAtION
The MiCOM P14x range is suitable for all applications where overcurrent
protection is required. It is suitable for solidly earthed, impedance earthed,
Petersen coil earthed and isolated systems.
