GE G30 | Generator Protection System
Protection for small to medium generators, combined generators and transformers Built on the industry-leading UR platform, the G30 provides advanced protection for small to medium-sized steam, hydraulic and combustion-turbine generators. The G30 is also well suited for applications where both the generator and transformer are in the same zone of protection, providing the required protection in one device. The G30 provides advanced communication with an integrated managed Ethernet switch, while supporting standard communication protocols including IEC 61850.
- Cost effective protection of small to medium sized generators, includes unit transformer protection. The G30 Generator Protection System, part of the UR family of protection relays, provides protection for small to medium sized generators and for applications needing combined generator and transformer protection.
