GE B30 | Bus Differential System
Cost-effective, low-impedance, biased bus differential protection for up to six feeders The B30 features integrated protection, control and metering for MV, HV and EHV busbars, providing cost-effective, feature-focused busbar protection. Use the B30 to protect busbars with up to 6 feeders with up to two three-phase differential zones. The B30 is a cost-effective alternative to high-impedance schemes, ideal for breaker-and-half bus schemes, with integrated feeder backup protection and metering.
Application
- Re-configurable simple bus applications, up to 6 feeders and 2 differential zones with breaker failure
- Integrated bus protection and metering for HV and EHV substations
Key Benefits
- High speed differential protection algorithm for sub-cycle trip times of 0.75 power cycle
- Advanced IEC61850 Ed. 2 implementation, complete settings via SCL files and IEC 61850-9-2 process bus solution enable resource and platform managing optimization and reduce cost of ownership
