Relay UTXvZRP

UTXvZRP is a full-scheme impedance protection with a line residual current stage.
The basis for reliable operation of the protection is precise and quick measurement of the impedance of short-circuit loops, while simultaneously calculating the distance to the fault location.
All ZRP versions are equipped with voltage stage functions, power and energy measurement, synchronous line switching and 1- and 3-phase auto-reclose.
The UTXvZRP series 3 protection is available in two versions:

  • ZRP/8 – version with eight analog inputs (IL1,IL2,IL3,IE/IE2, UL1,UL2,UL3,U4 (UE/Ub)),
  • ZRP/10 – version with ten analog inputs (IL1,IL2,IL3,IE,IE2, UL1,UL2,UL3,U4(UE),Usync),
