About the G60-N00-ALH-F8M-H6L-M8M-P6L-U6L-W6L
Boasting a range of I/O options and a bevy of system monitoring and metering capabilities, GE Multilin’s G60-N00-ALH-F8M-H6L-M8M-P6L-U6L-W6L acts as a Generator Protection System for medium to large generators, usually those driven by gas, hydraulics, or steam. It offers a number of Cyber Security measures such as password implementation, and Multilin’s EnerVista UR software program helps compile relevant cyber security data to reduce workload on the user for cyber security audits.
Some of the relay’s communications options include a USB port, an RS232 port (located on the faceplate), an RS485 port, and Ethernet. The relay also has a number of communications-related features, such as LAN redundancy and direct I/O messaging. The G60-N00-ALH-F8M-H6L-M8M-P6L-U6L-W6L’s LAN redundancy feature eliminates the traditional LAN switchover process that results in LAN downtime by enabling the relay to become a dual attached node that uses both the main and redundant network simultaneously to transfer data packets. If one of the networks goes down, at least one of the packets will arrive at its intended destination.
The relay’s scalable hardware provides configurable protection for the most rigorous of systems. The faceplate swings open to allow the installation of additional modules such as Multilin’s Field Ground Protection Module (GPM-F), which can detect ground faults in the field wiring of the generator. Modules can only be replaced with like modules, so users should ensure they are installing modules into the correct location by noting down the slot while removing the original module.
