Typical HV/EHV Product Selection

Choose P44x family or P437 to give full-scheme relay performance. Choose P441/P442 for a multifunction distance relay for general applications. Offers quadrilateral characteristics, with a proven installed base of products. Choose P437 for high speed tripping on HV/EHV systems, where quadrilateral/polygon characteristics are preferred. Choose P443 where guaranteed sub-cycle tripping is required (mho or quadrilateral), and in any mho characteristic applications.

Mix and match in dual main protection applications!

Quadrilateral Characteristic Advantages

Zone reach setting (Z) and Resistive reach (R) setting are independent
Allows resistive reach to be set exactly according to the fault arc coverage required No need to rely on characteristic expansion - you get what you set!

Resistive reach setting acts as the load blinder

Makes characteristic applicable to lines of all lengths, without risking load encroachment trips

Characteristic simplicity - easy to test and commission

Resistive reach is constant throughout the length of the zone

P437 Summary
Distance protection for application up to and including the highest system voltages Design experience - 3rd generation of numerical distance protection from the same design team Proven V<, I>> and shaped Z< starting for high sensitivity
Z< starter acts as a load blinder, to ensure stability when no tripping is wanted

Maintains and manages the stability of the grid

Out of step tripping to control system separation

An ideal complement to P44x family relays in dual-main distance protection applications

Advanced protection and control in a Modular platform

P443 MiCOMho Summary

Mho and quadrilateral elements available within one device - line/cable type and length not needed at time of ordering Load blinder avoids spurious or cascade tripping, without desensitising the protection Selectable mho characteristic polarising permits control over expansion - allowing support for compensated and non-compensated applications The relay self-sets zone reaches from protected line data - simple setting mode Superimposed (I) fault and power swing detection requires no starters to be set Easy to set and apply

High Speed Distance Protection Designed for Ease of Application
