GE B30TG3BLHF8RH6

Product Description

Electrical busbar systems require fast and dependable protection to prevent faults from affecting the wider power network. The GE B30TG3BLHF8RH6 is part of the Multilin B30 series, developed for advanced busbar differential protection in industrial and utility applications.

This digital protection relay combines electrical monitoring, fault detection, programmable logic, and control functions. It helps protection engineers manage electrical faults while maintaining coordination between circuit breakers and other protection equipment.

Protection and Control Capabilities

Differential Protection

The B30 uses current differential protection principles to detect abnormal conditions within protected busbar zones. Both restrained and unrestrained differential elements support dependable fault detection.

Breaker Failure Protection

Integrated breaker failure functions provide additional protection when a circuit breaker does not operate correctly after a trip command.

System Monitoring

The relay supports electrical measurements, equipment status monitoring, event recording, and disturbance analysis.

Programmable Logic

FlexLogic provides configurable control sequences and interlocking functions, allowing the relay to accommodate different substation designs.
