GE FS16 Management Relay Module
GE FS16
Product Overview
GE FS16 is a classic feeder management relay in the General Electric (GE) Multilin series, specifically designed for medium-voltage distribution networks. It delivers comprehensive protection, monitoring, and control functions. As a key component of distribution automation, this device is mainly used in substations, industrial distribution systems, and utility networks to provide full-range protection and management for feeder circuits. Equipped with advanced microprocessor technology, GE FS16 can monitor power parameters in real time. When abnormal conditions such as overcurrent, ground fault, and phase imbalance are detected, it acts promptly to protect power equipment from damage and ensure the reliability and stability of the power supply system.
Its core value lies in integrating multiple protection functions into a compact unit, which greatly simplifies system design and maintenance. GE FS16 adopts a modular design, allowing users to flexibly configure protection functions according to specific application requirements, including instantaneous and time-delayed overcurrent protection, directional overcurrent protection, and automatic reclosing function. The device also offers abundant measurement and monitoring capabilities, enabling real-time display of parameters such as voltage, current, power, and electrical energy, and uploading data to the monitoring system via communication interfaces. With its reliable performance and flexible application capabilities, GE FS16 has been widely used in the global medium-voltage distribution protection field and is an important device for ensuring the safe operation of power systems.

In utility networks, it is used for the protection and control of substation feeder outgoing lines to ensure the safe operation of distribution networks; in the industrial field, it is applied to the incoming line and feeder protection of factory distribution systems to protect transformers, cables, and distribution equipment; in commercial buildings and infrastructure, it is used for the power supply protection of critical loads; in the renewable energy field, it is employed for the protection of collection systems in solar power plants and wind farms. With its reliable protection performance and rich monitoring functions, GE FS16 ensures the safe, stable, and efficient operation of distribution systems, effectively preventing damage to power equipment and power outage accidents.
Installation and Maintenance
Pre-Installation Preparation
Before installing GE FS16, it is essential to ensure that all power supplies are disconnected and safe isolation is properly implemented. Check whether the device’s appearance is intact and confirm that the installation environment meets the temperature and humidity requirements. Prepare appropriate installation tools, cables, and wiring materials, and ensure that the CT/PT parameters match the relay’s rated values.
Maintenance Recommendations
Conduct regular functional tests on GE FS16 to verify the correctness of protection functions. Clean the device surface and ventilation openings to maintain good heat dissipation. Regularly check the tightness of terminal connections to prevent poor contact. View the device status and event records through the front panel or communication interface to identify potential issues in a timely manner. It is recommended to perform a comprehensive verification and maintenance every 2-3 years, including accuracy testing and function verification.
