The D30 is a cost-effective distance protection system suitable for primary protection of sub-transmission lines and as a backup protection for HV, EHV lines, reactors and generators. The D30 provides five zones of phase and ground distance protection along with complete overcurrent and voltage protection functions intended for three-pole tripping applications. The D30 comes with versatile automation features using custom pilot schemes, which can be built.
Key Benefits
