The Multilin 859 Motor Protection System, a member of the Multilin 8 Series protective relay platform, is designed for the protection, control and management of medium and large power rating induction motors. It has also been purpose built as a direct replacement for GE Vernova’s existing range of Multilin motor protection relays including the 169, 269, 269Plus, and 369 devices.
The Multilin 859 Motor Protection System is a protection device for managing, protecting and controlling medium to large horsepower motors.
With a fast protection pass, running every 1/8th of a cycle, the 859 relay provides fast current, voltage, power and frequency protection elements; reducing stress on the motor. The Multilin 859 supports the latest standard communications protocols, including IEC 62439/PRP and IEC 61850 Ed. 2 ; facilitating easy integration into new and existing SCADA/DCS networks.
The voltage-dependent overload curve feature in the Thermal Model protects motors that are used in high-inertia-load applications. Voltage is continually monitored when the motor is started and during acceleration. The thermal-limit curve is then adjusted accordingly. This enables the Multilin 859 to distinguish between a locked-rotor condition, an accelerating condition, and a running condition.
The Multilin 859 provides protection for motors fed through VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives). A wide range of the frequency tracking (3-72 Hz) allows the 859 to track the motor frequency and adjust its sampling rate to accurately measure phasors. An advanced algorithm allows switchable current and voltage tracking in case VFD is bypassed.
Thermal protection also considers the extra heating generated by the greater harmonics due to the VFD, to achieve an accurate response to the actual motor heating. RMS currents fed to the various motor-protection elements are further processed through the averaging filter to eliminate oscillations in current signals to ensure security.
Additionally, users can indicate a starting VFD frequency that helps the device track the motor frequency faster. Therefore, the 859 accurately measures the phasor quantities, which, otherwise, could cause delayed or false protection operation.
Input currents of a motor driving cyclic load can vary between very small to greater than the maximum allowable current during a load cycle. Variation in current magnitude results in motor heating and cooling depending on the heat and cooling time constants. Thermal overload protection response is adaptive to the cyclic load based on the cooling time constants. In addition, to provide more accurate overload thermal model response to cyclic load, the input currents to the thermal model are averaged over the settable duty-cycle interval. With a reciprocating-load application, the number of cycles to average can be determined from current waveform capture using the Oscillography/Datalogger features in the GE Vernova motor-protection relays
The Multilin 859 offers an integrated, cost-effective monitoring and diagnostics features that leverage existing relay data without the need for additional devices, sensors, wiring and training. The 859 utilizes both Electrical Signature (ESA) and Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) to provide the early detection and warning of a wide range of electrical, thermal and/or mechanical abnormalities that may affect a motor’s performance or operational life.
Motor failures and faults can have a significant impact on a process, resulting in loss of revenue and material. Predictive maintenance and situational awareness to the motors operating condition is critical to helping reduce unplanned downtime and energy consumption - maximizing motor life.
Motor monitoring & diagnostic features include stator turn-to-turn fault, broken-rotor-bar detection, roller-bearing faults, foundation looseness, eccentricity, and misalignments.
If undetected, insulation failure can evolve into phase or ground faults, causing equipment damage or loss, and significant unplanned downtime. The 859’s advanced motor monitoring and trending capabilities provide identification of critical electrical conditions including:
The 859 continuously and proactively monitors the motor for Thermal Capacity Used (TCU) to provide early warning of thermal stresses including:
Without the need for additional sensors or probes, the 859 utilizes GE Vernova's patented Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) / Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) to identify mechanical abnormalities in the motor including:
The 859 provides advanced communications technologies for remote data and engineering access, making it easy and flexible to use and integrate into new and existing infrastructures. Direct support for fiber optic Ethernet provide s high-bandwidth communications, allowing for low-latency controls and high-speed file transfers of relay fault and event record information. The 859 also supports two independent IP addresses, providing high flexibility for the most challenging of communication networks.
Providing several Ethernet and serial port options, dual independent Ethernet Ports, and support for a wide range of industry standard protocols, the 859 enables easy, direct integration into DCS and SCADA systems. The 859 supports the following protocols:
The 859 has two interfaces as USB front port and Wi-Fi for ease of access to the relay. Wi-Fi Connectivity:

Agile solutions from GE Vernova are ideal for new-build and retrofit alike.
The P40 Agile family delivers extensive protection, control and communications capabilities. Design attention has ensured that performance, sensitivity, customization and flexibility are delivered in a way that minimizes configuration and commissioning effort. The devices are configured in software with few order code variants, providing standardization that reduces the risk of mis-ordering, enabling easy stocking and reducing spares holding inventory.
Intelligent dependencies on settings declutter the menu, hiding any un-needed settings and/or disabled elements based on the configuration. Default applications are pre-loaded and a simple configuration column readies the product for application from a single touchpoint. Overall, the need to navigate a list of settings is reduced by approximately 80% - you only see what you need to.
The draw-out design permits fast extraction and insertion of the device active part, with inherent safety features to minimize any risks associated with open-circuit CTs. The relay PCBAs (printed circuit boards) have harsh environmental coating as standard, to shield from contaminants such as moisture, salt mist and atmospheric pollution, extending operational life.
Two variants are available within the P40 Agile range:
The Scalable version is well-suited to refurbishment applications where legacy 4U rack relays are removed. It also offers pin-to-pin refurbishment of K-series relays. The scalable version has great synergy with GE Vernova’s MiCOM P40 range, with settings, logic, M4 ring lugs and the PC toolsuite being common – lessening training needs. Downed conductor (Hi-Z), transient ground fault and PWH wattmetric functions provide advanced functionality. The scalable application is identified as design suffix (variant) ‘A’.
P40 Agile Enhanced is suited to shallow-depth installations at new sites or as a refurbishment of induction disk IDMT relays. With Binary I/O counts of up to 11i + 11o/14i + 9o, Ethernet connectivity, a sample rate of 64 samples/cycle allowing for higher harmonics and THD measurement, and linked protection elements offering enhanced protection for networks with connected renewable generation, the P40 Agile Enhanced is a versatile solution for feeder protection & control. The enhanced compact range is identified as design suffix (variant) ‘E’.
P40 Agile Enhanced is a compact feeder and voltage relay platform delivering highly-adaptable protection and control. Fast overcurrent, ground fault, voltage and frequency elements form the central core of performance. Advanced functionality includes programmable logic and flexible configuration capabilities, plus an extensive suite of communication protocols. Switchable communication protocols are supported for ease of integration into new or existing SCADA/DCS systems. The hardware is standardized, providing a universal power supply, multi-range inputs/outputs, and CT/VTs, to reduce order code variants and stocking / spares inventories.

Choice of copper or fiber Ethernet interface available to fit customer needs.
To aid commissioning, a simulation feature is provided to test the relay’s functionality and response to programmed conditions, without the need of external AC voltage and current inputs. When placed in simulation mode, the relay suspends reading actual AC inputs, generates samples to represent the programmed phasors, and loads these samples into the memory to be processed by the relay. Normal (pre-fault), fault and post-fault conditions can be simulated to exercise a variety of relay features. Other test operations are also possible such as an LED lamp test for each color, contact input states and testing of output relays.
All aspects of P40 Agile Enhanced configuration can be managed using the tool suite software.
Models with software version 05 are recommended to be configured with EnerVista Setup software for commonality with 8 series, and support migration from 350 and F650 models. Models with software version 03 and prior will continue to be supported by EnerVista Flex. Choose 03 software in case of P40 Agile Enhanced relay installed base and would like to continue with the same configuration tool.
The P40 Agile scalable range (design suffix ‘A’) offers standardization and adaptability, addressing applications from distribution (as primary protection) to transmission (as back-up protection solution). A withdrawable design with 4â€, 6â€, and 8†case sizes for reduced space applications and MIDOS 4mm heavy-duty terminals for DC and AC terminations are central to its design. Advanced communications with support for up to two Ethernet ports, and optional redundancy protocols (RSTP or PRP/HSR) offer easy integration with substation automation systems for increased situational awareness. Scalable binary I/O and trip circuit supervision can coexist in a single package for demanding applications. Powerful graphical logic allows the user to customize the protection and control functions, program the opto-isolated binary inputs, relay outputs and LEDs.
Two communication ports are standard: a rear port providing remote communications and a front USB port for substation operators for local device configuration and management.
Additionally up to two Ethernet ports can be ordered to achieve Ethernet communication redundancy.
The front-panel interface allows direct IED interaction. Integrated user function keys and tri-color programmable LEDs provide a cost-effective solution for control and annunciation.
Many distribution utilities have a large installed base of 1st generation numerical K-series relays. A fast retrofit upgrade is required to replace with modern P40 Agile relays, in the minimum of downtime.
The new relays need zero or minimal configuration as the K-series “as-fitted†settings are extracted and automatically converted to match the P40 Agile Scalable relays. Configuration and injection testing is done away from the destination feeder, in a spare case. The device is pin-to-pin compatible with the legacy relay case which is left intact - no wiring is disturbed, and the feeder outage time is less than 5 minutes.K Series - Legacy
The Agilefit CDG retrofit solution** enables customers to replace their CDG overcurrent and/or earth fault relays with a P14N relay to obtain the latest benefits of P40 Agile. This retrofit kit provides a pre-wired cradle allowing the P14N relay to slide into the existing CDG relay case. The AgileFit CDG retrofit includes a P14NB or P14NZ relay equipped with standard earth CT or SEF CT input and an RS485 rear communications port.

The F650 provides advanced monitoring and metering that includes:
Current Transformer Failure
In event of abnormal behaviour of the CT or a loss of phase the F650 detects a change in zero sequence current to initiate a CT failure event and an output that can be used to block critical protection functions. This feature can be inhibited either by zero sequence voltage, ground /sensitive ground current.
2nd harmonic inhibit
The F650 provides 2nd harmonic detection that can be used to block sensitive elements, especially during transformer energization. The setting can be based on any phase, any two phases, all three phases or an average of the 3 phases.
VT Fuse Failure
Use the VT Fuse Failure feature to issue an alarm and/or to block voltage driven protection functions that can operate incorrectly due to an abrupt partial or total voltage loss. This loss is caused by the voltage transformers secondary circuit protection fuse failure. Different methods are used to detect the different types of VT fuse failure.
Trip Circuit Monitoring
F650 can be used to monitor the integrity of both the breaker trip and closing coils and circuits. The supervision inputs monitor both the battery voltage level, while the outputs monitor the continuity of the trip and/or closing circuits, by applying a small current through the circuits.
Basic Metering
Ia, Ib, Ic, Ig, Isg, Va, Vb, Vc and Vx signals are available locally and remotely and can be stored in the oscillography record or data logger.
Event Recording and Oscillography
The F650 is capable of storing 479 or 512 (depending on the selected model) time-tagged events (1 ms tagging), to help with troubleshooting. The trigger point, the channels, and sampling rate of the oscillography files are user programmable features. Up to five seconds at maximum sample rate can be stored.
The F650 incorporates the industry-leading communication technologies making it one of the easiest and flexible feeder protection relays for use and integration into new and existing infrastructures. The F650 provides optional Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), High Availability Seamless Ring (HSR) (IEC 62439-3) and also Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) (IEEE 802.1D) to increase network availability and reliability for critical applications.
