UTXvL: Universal overcurrent, earth overcurrent protection relay
UTXvL protection is intended for protecting CB Bays which operate with earthed neutral point in any configuration.
It provides quick and effective CB tripping while any: PTP or PTG fault will be detected. Reliable operation of the device is based on precise and quick analog value measurements, resulting in fast (voltages, currents, Earth Fault Admittance) vectors finding. UTXvL is equipped with: 14 Bit A/C converters, serial transmission interfaces (RS 232 – supervising channel and RS 485 – using IEC 870-5-103 standard protocol), with optional optical fibre and/or network communication – TCP/IP. Individually configured UTXvL relay is intended for protecting CB Bays (Overhead Line/ Underground Cable, Feeding HV/MV Power Transformer, Auxiliary Voltage MV/LV Transformer, MV Bus Coupler, Capacitor Bank).
