Distance Protection GRZ100

Product Overview

GRZ100 is a full-scheme, high-speed, numerical distance relay for application to transmission lines in solidly earthed networks. This well-proven product provides extremely high performance through its advanced numeric design, with full-scheme, phase-selective distance protection giving typically one-cycle operating times. Command protection schemes, back-up overcurrent, switch-on-to-fault and stub protections, out-of-step tripping and circuit breaker fail protection complete a powerful protection package.
