RETROFITTING

Phase and Earth Fault

Overcurrent Relay

NPI800R (R2 case) is dedicated to the refurbishment of 700 and 7000 series
(R2 and R3 cases) of CEE phase and earth fault overcurrent relays providing
the detection of all type of short-circuits of medium and high voltage electrical
networks. This numerical and multi-function relay supervises in particular
phase to phase or phase to earth faults, negative sequence currents, thermal
state of the protected device, and the good operation of the circuit breaker
and its trip circuit.

NP800R relays provide monitoring, measurement and recording of the

electrical quantities of the network.
The relays can be set locally, using either the keypad and display or the RS232
port, or remotely using the RS485 port.

Two mountings are available, Flush Rear Connection (EDPAR) or Projecting

Rear Connection (SDPAR). A blank cover R1, provide in option, can improve
mechanical installation (replacement of CEE case R3 by a NPI800R).

Setting, reading, measurement and recording are all available locally or

remotely.

NPI800R Minimises retrofitting

man-hours

Maximises preservation of
existing installation

Simplifies and reduces re-

commissioning time

Minimises retrofitting costs
