The generator differential protection relay MCDGV4 is a high precision protection for medium and high power generators. The step-up transformer can be integrated into the protection zone (unit protection/ block protection). In addition to the phase and earth differential protection, the device provides a variety of generator-specific protection functions.
The “all-inclusive” package comprises not only phase, earth current, voltage, frequency and power protection, but also an undervoltage directional reactive power protection with reconnection function and an adjustable Fault Ride Through (FRT) with AR detection.
The intuitive operating concept with plausibility checks and extensive commissioning functions such as the built-in fault simulator allows a safe and time-optimized maintenance and commissioning. The parameter setting and evaluation software Smart view SE can be used consistently across theentire family of devices.
