Features • Sensitive low-set neutral overcurrent stage • Digital display of setting values, neutral
with definite time characteristic current measured, values recorded at relay
operation, indications, etc.
• High-set neutral overcurrent stage with def-
inite time characteristic • Powerful software support for parameter-
ization and supervision of the relay
• Output relay functions to be freely config-
ured • Continuous hardware and software self-
supervision including auto-diagnosis
• Flexible adaptation to different types of
application • Member of the SPACOM product family
and ABB’s Distribution Automation system
• 1 A and 5 A energizing inputs
• CE marking according to the EC directive
• Serial interface for connecting the relay to
