UTXvA – UNIVERSAL AUTONOMIC MV/HV PROTECTION RELAY

UTXvA protection relay consists of μUTXvL/3 module cooperating with UTXvCTC type container charged with fault current and equipped with additional “R” ballast unit. The device is dedicated to protect High and Medium Voltage CB Bays. It provides quick and effective CB
tripping while PTP fault or guaranteed voltage fading will be detected. Reliable operation of the device is based on precise and quick analog value measurements, resulting in fast currents vectors finding. UTXvA is equipped with: 14 Bit A/C converters, serial transmission interfaces (RS 232 or RS 485 – using IEC 870-5-103 standard protocol), with optional optical fibre and/or network communication – TCP/IP.
Individually configured UTXvA relay is intended for protecting CB Bays (Overhead Line/ Underground Cable, Feeding HV/MV Power Transformer, Auxiliary Voltage MV/LV Transformer, MV Bus Coupler, Capacitor Bank).

NOTE
The configuration described above is minimal (3 x currents measurement). UTXvA device is also available with all other µUTXvL versions with max up to eight analog inputs, which allows full functionality of protection relay.
