GWPR200-L Line (Feeder) Protection Relay
The GWPR200-L Feeder Protection Relay is specially designed for feeder switch cabinets and independently developed by GoWatron. It is applicable to distribution lines of 35kV and below with ungrounded, resistance-grounded and arc suppression coil neutral systems (consult the manufacturer for solidly grounded systems). Two installation modes are available: embedded local mounting inside switch cabinets and centralized panel mounting in control rooms. The device integrates line fault protection, high-precision electrical measurement and control, multi-channel remote signal acquisition, fault recording, SOE event logging and multi-protocol communication in one unit.
- Equipped with dual Ethernet + RS485 dual-channel communication hardware, it is compatible with conventional substation automation systems and digital distribution substations.
- Standard communication protocols: Modbus RTU, IEC 60870-5-103, supporting full uploading of measured values, remote status signals, protection operations, alarms, fault recording files and protection setting values;
- Optional extended function: Dual-port Ethernet IEC 103 communication, compatible with digital distribution reconstruction projects.
