PCS S Series
PCS-915SC Centralized Busbar Relay • Voltage blocking is an option for the current differential
protection and breaker failure protection, which will improve
the reliability of current differential protection and breaker
failure protection.
• With CT circuit supervision function, once CT circuit failure is
detected, the user can choose discrimination zone or check
zone differential protection blocking.
• Both of phase segregated and three phase breaker failure
binary inputs can be connected for breaker failure protection,
users can choose whether or not blocked by the current
criterion. The overcurrent element of breaker failure protection
have been especially treated, the dropoff time of it is no more
than 12ms.

• Users can disable the discrimination zone differential element
by the external binary input during the busbar maintenance.
Also the bay can be disabled by the external binary input when
it is in maintenance.
• LCD can display real-time main wiring diagram, the number of
