MiCOM P441, P442 and P444

Distance Protection Relays

Expanding the MiCOM experience
The MiCOM P440 range of relays has been expanded to offer even more
solutions. In addition to the P441 and P442, the P444 provides even more
digital inputs and more relay outputs. All P440 relays now provide optional
DNP3 communication protocol as well as optional IEC60044-8 fibre optic
interface for non-conventional instrument transformer systems.
The MiCOM relays offers fast, secure
clearing for any type of fault. The
unique distance and directionalising
implementations provide an optimum
mix of speed, selectivity and security
for difficult fault types and
application situations.
In addition, the relays offer the
following benefits:
Standardised relay selection for all
applications
Simplified spares holding with dual
rated CT inputs
No need for additional equipment
Simple system integration through
a choice of communication
protocols, including Courier,
Modbus, IEC 60870-5-103 and
DNP3
Synchronisation of all protection
devices
Fast fault diagnosis with integral
fault information, disturbance and
event records
Maximise protection availability
through extensive self-monitoring
and system supervision (CT, VT, trip
circuit)
Enhanced reliability for all faults
through two different measurement
techniques
The software tools (MiCOM S1) allow
intuitive interface to the relay and
greatly lessen training and
documentation requirements for the user.
Powerful and easily implemented
scheme logic with a large choice of
gates and timers makes the relay
completely customisable with an
apropriated certification, to meet the
needs of a wide range of power
system requirements and user
preferences.
