Description

The AQ-F255V feeder protection device offers a modular feeder protection and control solution for applications that require a large I/O capacity. It also includes the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) function with independent and parallel tap control modes, as well as the transformer module with its protections. You can add up to eleven (11) I/O or communication modules into the device for extensive monitoring and control applications. The AQ-F255V feeder protection device communicates using various protocols, including the IEC 61850 substation communication standard.

Highlights:

  • Double busbar control.
  • A large I/O capacity.
  • Automatic voltage regulator (independent and parallel tap control modes).
  • Transformer module with its protection functions.
  • Cable-end differential protection.
  • Low-impedance restricted earth fault protection.
  • Harmonics protection and control.
  • A 5-shot scheme-controlled auto-recloser.
  • Optional power and energy measurement accuracy of up to 0.2 %.
