GE Grid Solutions, a unit of General Electric (GE), has introduced a high-performance feed protection and isolation switch controller module, the F650NFLF2G5HIP6E. With its advanced technology and comprehensive functions, this module provides strong support for the protection and control of power systems.
The F650NFLF2G5HIP6E module has the following key features:
Rated voltage: 15 kV, rated current: 600 A, suitable for medium voltage distribution system.
Circuit breaker Type: Vacuum circuit breaker, provides efficient circuit interrupt capability.
Protection function: including overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, differential protection and distance protection, etc., to ensure the stable operation of the system.
Control function: Support remote control, automatic reclosing and fault indication, improve operation flexibility and response speed.
Communication interface: RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet and other communication modes are provided to facilitate the connection with SCADA system and other devices.
In addition, the F650NFLF2G5HIP6E module has been designed with user convenience in mind, with a graphical LCD display, programmable buttons and easy keys to make the selection of setup menus and submenus intuitive and easy to use. The modules measure 600 x 400 x 300 mm, weigh 80 kg, are made of steel and have an operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C and a storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The introduction of the F650NFLF2G5HIP6E module further enriches the GE F650 series product line for a variety of power system applications such as medium voltage distribution systems, industrial distribution systems, power plants, substations and customer substations. It can be used not only as a primary protection and control device, but also as a backup solution to improve the reliability and security of the system.
GE Grid Solutions’ Multilin F650 family also includes the F650 Bay Controller, which provides high-speed protection and control for feeder management, with comprehensive protection and control equipment to improve system uptime and enhance stability. The F650 Bay Controller features advanced automation to support customized protection and control solutions, as well as a human machine interface (HMI) with a graphical LCD, programmable buttons and easy keys to select Settings menus and submenus.
The F650 module also features advanced monitoring and metering capabilities, including fault locators, fault and event loggers, comprehensive circuit breaker monitoring, high-resolution oscillators and data loggers, and metering of a wide range of power parameters. In addition, the F650 supports a variety of communication protocols, These include IEC 61850, DNP 3.0, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, IEC 60870-5-103/104, PRP & HSR (IEC 62439-3), RSTP (IEEE 802.1D), and IEEE 1588 (PTP) Time synchronization.
The EnerVista software suite further enhances the functionality of the F650 module by providing a complete set of software programs that simplify the use of the F65 relay. The suite provides all the tools to monitor the status of protected assets, maintain relays, and integrate information from F650 measurements into DCS or SCADA monitoring systems. The COMTRADE and event sequence viewer included in the 650 Setup software enables post-event analysis to ensure proper operation of the protection system.
