Micom P642 Advanced Transformer Protection

Product Description

 SCHNEIDER MICOM P642 ADVANCED TRANSFORMER PROTECTION 

MiCOM P64x series provides fast and complete protection for transformer faults, preserving service life. Designed for two and three winding transformers (including autotransformers), it is easy to use and the setting wizard requires only nameplate data. Models available: MiCOM P642, MiCOM P643, MiCOM P645

Transformers are high capital cost assets in electrical power systems. Elimination of all electrical and mechanical stresses, although desirable to preserve transformer life, is impractical. Adaptive techniques to measure and alarm (or trip) in such instances, and advise on cumulative service duty, can help to schedule preventive maintenance  “ before a costly failure occurs.

Internal faults are a risk for all transformers, with short-circuits dissipating the highest localized energy. Unless cleared quickly, the possibility to rewind windings reduces, and core damage may become irreparable. Easergy MiCOM P642, P643 and P645 Advanced Transformer Protection and Control

The Easergy MiCOM P642, P643 and P645 address all these issues - preserving service life, and offering fast protection for transformer faults. Hosted on an advanced IED platform including IEC 61850 Edition 1 and Edition2 and PRP or HSR (parallel redundancy protocol), the Easergy MiCOM P64x incorporates differential, REF, thermal, and overfluxing protection, plus backup protection for uncleared external faults. Model variants cover two and three winding transformers (including autotransformers), with up to 5 sets of three-phase CT inputs.
