Key Features

  • Line Current Differential Protection (87): Primary protection using high-capacity fiber optic (HI) channel for high-speed, secure communication between line-end relays, enabling precise fault detection and isolation

  • Backup Protection: Comprehensive overcurrent (51/50), distance protection (21), directional overcurrent (67N/67Q), and restricted earth fault protection

  • Automatic Reclosing: Up to 4 reclose attempts before lockout (760 series feature)

  • Synchronism Check: Voltage, frequency, and dead-source checking for safe paralleling

  • Arc Flash Mitigation: High-speed fault detection for personnel safety

  • Advanced Metering: Built-in accurate metering eliminates auxiliary metering devices

  • Event Recording: 512 events with 1 ms timestamp, waveform capture, and data logger

  • Draw-Out Construction: Minimizes replacement time and simplifies maintenance

  • Field Upgradeable: Flash memory allows firmware upgrades in the field

  • Conformal Coating Option: Available for chemically corrosive and humid environments

Applications

  • Primary protection and control for distribution feeders on solidly grounded, high-impedance grounded, or resonant (Peterson coil) grounded systems
