GE C60 | Breaker Protection System
The C60 breaker protection system is a substation hardened controller that provides a complete integrated package for the protection, control, and monitoring of circuit breakers. The C60 supports dual-breaker busbar configurations such as breaker-and-a-half or ring bus arrangements. Signals from up to 4 sets of CT's can be brought into the C60 for internal summation.
Applications
- Stand-alone breaker monitoring and control
- Multiple breaker configuration control including breaker-and-a-half and ring bus
- Automatic bus transfer scheme using a single device
- As part of a distributed bay controller
Key Benefits
- Complete breaker control, protection, monitoring and integration in a single platform
- Advanced automation capabilities for providing customized protection and control solutions
- Modular hardware architecture allows for flexibility in device configurations to cover most breaker applications
- Three independent fiber or copper Ethernet ports for simultaneous/ dedicated network connections with advanced 1 microsecond time synchronization via LAN with IEEE® 1588 support
- Reduced wiring through the use of high-speed peer-to-peer communication for accepting trip and close commands from other relays
- Embedded IEC® 61850 protocol with no external communications hardware required
- Phasor Measurement Unit (synchrophasor) according to IEEE C37.118 (2011) and IEC 61850-90-5 support
- Simplified system integration with communications supporting serial, Ethernet and multiple protocols
- Increase network availability by reducing failover time to zero through IEC 62439-3 "PRP" support
- CyberSentry™ provides high-end cyber security aligned to industry standards and services (NERC® CIP, AAA, Radius, RBAC, Syslog)
- Robust network security enabling Critical Infrastructure Protection through user command logging, and dual permission access control
- Advanced fault and disturbance recording, including internal relay operating signals thus eliminating the need for external recording devices
- Complete IEC 61850 Process Bus solution provides resource optimization and minimizes total P&C life cycle costs
