Schneider Electric Protection Relays
Protection relays from Schneider Electric are designed to monitor electrical faults and provide fast protective actions to protect motors, feeders, and power distribution equipment. They are commonly found in industrial automation, MCCs, switchgear, and control panels where precise and reliable electrical protection and system continuity are important. Protection relays from Schneider Electric are recognized worldwide for their dependable performance and their ability to meet IEC standards.
Protection relays from Schneider Electric are used to protect motors from overload, loss of phase, phase unbalance, locked-rotor, and excessive temperature. Typical applications include pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and rotating machinery found in a variety of applications including manufacturing, water/wastewater, oil/gas, and infrastructure. Use of these motor protection relays prevents thermal and electrical damage to the motor and contributes to longer motor life and a reduction of unplanned downtime.
Feeder and equipment protection relays from Schneider Electric are used to protect electrical feeders, transformers, generators, and distribution circuits. They monitor current, voltage, and frequency and quickly respond to the detection of any electrical fault conditions to isolate faults and help to assure power system stability and personnel safety in industrial power distribution applications.
FAQs
