GE MICOM P343  RELAY

GE MiCOM Alstom  P343 generator protection relay has been designed for the protection of a wide range of generators.

GE’s Micom P343 relay is suitable for protection of medium to large size generators (>10 MVA) or more important generators, providing generator differential, 100% stator earth fault via a 3rd harmonic measuring technique, pole slipping and unintentional energization at standstill protection in addition to the features of the P342.

GE Micom P343 Relay supports the following relay management functions in addition to the functions shown above.

• Measurement of all instantaneous & integrated values
• Circuit breaker control, status & condition monitoring
• Trip circuit and coil supervision
• 4 Alternative setting groups
• Programmable function keys (P343/4/5/6)
• Control inputs
• Programmable scheme logic
• Programmable allocation of digital inputs and outputs
• The sequence of event recording
• Comprehensive disturbance recording (waveform capture)
• Fault recording
• Fully customizable menu texts
• Multi-level password protection
• Power-up diagnostics and continuous self-monitoring of relay
• Commissioning test facilities
• Real-time clock/time synchronization – time synchronization possible from IRIG-B input, Opto input, or communications

GE Micom P343 Relay generator protection solutions provide extensive functionality to meet all generator and generator – transformer applications, including differential protection for fast and selective tripping of phase and earth faults. All generator protection, control, monitoring, recording, and communications components are housed within one box, and the solutions are accompanied by a comprehensive library of hardware options, protection, and control functions to meet system requirements.

Key benefits:

• Extensive condition-based monitoring features for generators and transformers
• Graphical programmable scheme logic eases protection scheme creation and avoids the need for external logic controllers
• Range of different protocols (MODBUS, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-103, and IEC 61850) are available
• IEC 61850 / DNP3.0 redundant Ethernet, supporting self-healing ring, RSTP, dual-homing, or PRP
• Programmable curves for easy protection customization

Main characteristics:

• Sensitive rotor earth fault protection using the low-frequency injection method
• Harsh Environment Option to protect against corrosive gases such as H2S or SO2
• Generator and transformer thermal overload, transformer loss of life, and through fault monitoring
• Extensive protection for large machines such as pole slipping and 100% stator earth fault protection (3rd harmonic and low-frequency injection method)

TYPE: NUMERICAL RELAY
