GE D30 | Line Distance Protection System
Cost-effective, high-speed, primary and backup distance protection The D30 is a cost-effective distance protection system suitable for primary protection of sub-transmission lines and as a backup protection for HV, EHV lines, reactors and generators. The D30 provides five zones of phase and ground distance protection along with complete overcurrent and voltage protection functions intended for three-pole tripping applications. The D30 comes with versatile automation features using custom pilot schemes, which can be built
Applications
- Overhead sub-transmission lines and underground cables including series compensated lines
- Circuits requiring three-pole autoreclosing and independent synchrocheck supervision
- Circuits with in-zone power transformers
- Secure application with Capacitively-Coupled Voltage Transformers (CCVTs)
- Backup protection for generators, transformers and reactors
Key Benefits
- Cost-effective, five zone quad or mho, phase and ground distance protection
- Programmable logic for building customized pilot schemes
- Application flexibility: multiple I/O options, programmable logic (FlexLogic™)
- Simplified teleprotection interfaces with direct I/O communications hardware for transfer trip and custom-built pilot-aided distance schemes
- Three independent fiber or copper Ethernet ports for simultaneous/ dedicated network connections with advanced 1 microsecond time synchronization via LAN with IEEE® 1588 support
