Part of the MiCOM P40 platform, the Agile P441, P442 and P444 numerical full scheme distance relays provide flexible, fast and reliable protection of transmission and sub-transmission lines. They include full scheme 6-zone distance, plus aided directional earth fault (DEF) and comprehensive backup protection for utility lines and cables at all voltage levels, particularly oriented towards transmission grids.

These distance protection systems are ideal for single circuit breaker application, single and/or 3-pole tripping, and includes a full suite of monitoring, control and recording capabilities plus fault locator, autoreclose and check synchronism.

Key features:

• Dual algorithm distance operation for maximum fault detection dependability
• Deploy in traditional CT/VT applications, or digital substation architectures with merging units and non-conventional instrument transformers using IEC 61850-9-2 process bus
• Distance to fault location assists dispatching of maintenance crews 
• Full-scheme relay offers fast, discriminative response to double-circuit, cross-country and evolving faults
• No internal batteries in GE-branded models – removes a maintenance item and eases air-freight logistics
• NERC CIP cybersecurity including role-based access control (RBAC), RADIUS and SysLog
• Advanced binary inputs comply with the harshest norms for surge withstand, plus the ESI 48-4 EB2 standard. Spurious wiring pickup is eliminated without the use of interposing relays, external resistors or time delays. Battery/wiring faults, switching noise, and induction from long parallel circuits are tolerated without misoperation
