GE 269PLUS-100P-HI

Product Overview: The 269PLUS-100P-HI is a member of the GE Multilin 269 Plus family of motor protection relays, designed to provide comprehensive protection, control, and monitoring for medium and large AC motors. The “100P” indicates the 100 Amp phase current input configuration, and “HI” denotes the high-range control power supply (120-240 VAC / 125-250 VDC). This microprocessor-based relay provides advanced motor thermal modeling, overload protection, and complete motor management functionality in a robust industrial package.
