GE F60 l Feeder Protection System
The F60, a member of the UR Family of protection relays, provides high performance feeder protection, control, monitoring and metering in an integrated, economical, and compact package. The F60 includes GE Multilin's unique high-impedance fault detection for fast and reliable detection of downed conductors.
Application
- Primary protection and control for feeders on solidly, impedance, or resonant (Petersen coil) ground systems
- Busblocking/interlocking schemes
- Distribution load shedding schemes based on voltage and frequency elements
- High-speed fault detection for arc flash mitigation
- Throwover schemes (bus transfer scheme applications)
- Backup protection for transmission lines, feeders, and transformers
- Distributed generation (DG) interconnect protection
Key Benefits
