About the F35-G00-HKH-F8R-H6N-M8R-P6N-UXX-W6N

While multiple feeder management once required individual units for individual systems, General Electric Multilin’s F35-G00-HKH-F8R-H6N-M8R-P6N-UXX-W6N is a compact unit offering a bevy of metering and safeguarding features for either five or six feeder distribution systems. This unit is a high power model of the series, accepting a nominal DC voltage range of 125 to 250 V and a nominal AC voltage range of  100 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz. This contrasts with the lower power model of the F35 series, which only accepts a nominal DC voltage of 24 to 48 V and does not work with AC voltages. Users should choose a unit appropriate for their feeder system’s needs.

Multilin’s F35-G00-HKH-F8R-H6N-M8R-P6N-UXX-W6N’s projected service life is approximately twenty years for devices kept in ideal operating conditions and manufactured later than 2014. The relay requires regular maintenance, which is conveniently supported by the F35 self-testing capabilities, which can help identify when preventative maintenance is required. While the F35 performs self-testing in an ongoing fashion, Mutlilin still recommends that user’s schedule relay maintenance around the same time general system maintenance is being performed. 

While communications between devices can often require hardwiring and expensive installation costs, the F35-G00-HKH-F8R-H6N-M8R-P6N-UXX-W6N uses a variety of communications functions to reduce the amount of connections necessary. The unit’s Direct I/O Messaging capabilities enable information to be shared between multiple UR relays. Additionally, information can be exchanged about the status of digital points between remote devices using remote inputs and outputs. The information offered by these inputs and outputs follows GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Sub-station Events) standards and each data transmission is appropriately time-tagged.
