Series 500 - Transmission and
Sub-Transmission Protection and Control
The Series 500 address the most demanding applications, such as utility
transmission and distribution systems, power plants, transportation or
industrial applications, by combining diverse I/O options, advanced user-
programming and high-performing control in a highly reliable, flexible and
powerful device platform.

Object orientation and state-of-the-art toolset allow straightforward

engineering throughout the system life-cycle without compromising user
requirements. Designed with IEC 61850 and other open standards in mind
the Series 500 products are future-proof and can be seamlessly integrated in
multivendor distributed systems.

Series 500 is fully prepared to support modern fully digital substation solutions
including third-party system engineering tool integration and process bus
architectures with high-speed GOOSE and IEC 61850-9-2 sampled value
subscription.

Part of this Series, the TPU 500 relays family fully addresses the needs of
transmission and sub-transmission power system protection by offering
fast, reliable and field-proven algorithms on a high performance hardware
and software platform. Product options include protection functions for
line, transformer, switchgear and other assets, featuring algorithms such as
