The field ground protection module, GPM-F works in combination with the Multilin G60 to detect ground faults in the field winding of the generator. Providing application flexibility, the field ground protection module can be configured for either single point injection or double point injection based on application requirements. The solution includes: two stage field ground detection, injected voltage and current supervision, brush lift-off detection, field over and under current elements and field ground fault location.
Providing application flexibility and diagnostic information, single point injection provides the ability to quickly identify the fault location in the field winding, thus reducing damaging the generator and reducing down-time. Single point injection has traditionally been the protection method used for generators with brushless excitation.
In addition to single point injection, the GPM-F module allows for ground fault detection via double point injection. Double point injection has typically been used on applications where generators are equipped with static excitation. When the GPM-F is connected for double point injection the fault location feature is not available. It is recommended that is fault location is required that the GPM-F be configured for single point injection.

Stator ground module works in combination with GE Vernova’s Multilin G60 and MiCOM Agile P345 to provide a 100% stator ground fault protection that is operational during generator start-up, running and stopped conditions. In the 100% stator ground fault protection based on sub-harmonic injection, a 20Hz voltage is injected to detect ground faults at any point across 100% of the winding thereby protecting the complete stator winding and allowing early detection of stator ground fault conditions.
Using sub-harmonic injection provides early detection of stator ground fault conditions. This is accomplished by the injection module generating a square wave pulse of 20Hz with a magnitude of +/-26V into the stator winding. The injection module monitors the frequency and magnitude of the signal it generates which allows for the Stator module to determine if a ground fault has occurred in the stator winding. In addition, the stator module is also equipped with a critical-fail relay that can be wired to alarm failure of the module.
The coupling filter is used to meet two functions: to smooth the square wave and convert it into a sine wave and to protect the injection module from AC voltage impressed from the secondary of neutral grounding transformer. Coupling filter contains only passive components. It also contains voltage divider circuits to be used on applications with NGT secondary voltage greater than 500V
The Multilin 889 relay, a member of the Multilin 8 Series protective relay platform, has been designed for the protection, control, monitoring and management generators and in-zone transformers used in both industrial and utilities applications.
The Multilin 889 provides advanced, high-speed protection, extensively customizable programmable logic, and flexible configuration capabilities, to maximize the operational performance and life of critical generators.
A large, full color Graphic Control Panel (GCP) ensures clear representation of critical status and measurements. The 8 Series offers two options for front panels:
The Multilin 8 Series provides a configurable dynamic SLD up to six (6) pages for comprehensive switchgear control of up to 3 breakers and 9 disconnect switches; including interlocks. Up to 15 digital and metering status elements can be configured per SLD page.
The Multilin 8 Series platform delivers the highest level of quality, reliability and performance with…
The 889 has been designed for the protection, control, and management of generators and associated unit transformers in critical utility and industrial applications.
The 889 utilizes high-speed dual slope differential protection for detecting and clearing of stator phase faults. Advanced CT saturation detection algorithms maintain immunity to saturation conditions that may be caused due to external disturbances through the use of a directional check that provides additional supervision and ensures the fault is internal to the generator before triggering it to trip.
The 889 can provide overall generator and transformer differential protection (87O). It covers the protection zones from the generator neutral to the GSU (Generator Step-Up) transformer’s High Voltage (HV) winding. This additional protection element provides backup to both Generator Stator Differential (87G) and a dedicated transformer differential in a transformer relay (i.e.: Multilin 845 Transformer Protection System). The 889 with this Generator-Transformer Differential protection supports transformer setup, provides enhanced protection security by including both restrained and unrestrained (instantaneous) differential protection.
100% stator ground fault protection is provided through an overvoltage element and an adaptive voltage differential feature responding to the unbalance of the third harmonic at the machine terminals and at the neutral point. The 889 compares the machine neutral voltage and ground current to determine if ground directional faults are within or outside the generator.
The Multilin 8 Series supports an integrated arc flash module providing constant monitoring of an arc flash condition within the switchgear, motor control control centers, or panelboards. With a 2ms protection pass, the 8 Series is able to detect light and overcurrent using 4 arc sensors connected to the 8 Series relay. In situations where an arc flash/fault does occur, the relay is able to quickly identify the fault and issue a trip command to the associated breaker thereby reducing the total incident energy and minimizing resulting equipment damage.
Self-monitoring and diagnostics of the sensors ensures the health of the sensors as well as the full length fiber cables. LEDs on the front panel display of the 889 can be configured to indicate the health of the sensors and its connections to the relay.
The Multilin 889 includes high accuracy metering and recording for all AC signals. Voltage, current, and power metering are built into the relay as a standard feature. Current and voltage parameters are available as total RMS magnitude, and as fundamental frequency magnitude and angle.
Log generator operating parameters to allow for analyzing generator loading and performance over weeks and months.
The 889 can calculate/accumulate generator running hours, which may be of interest for periodic maintenance. if total running hours exceed the use-setting limit, the function would alarm the condition.
The Multilin 889 offers a comprehensive generator health report that provides an easy-to-read snapshot of a generator's health and operating condition. Based on graphical representation and trend values of the generator historical data, the 889 enables operators and asset managers to identify process issues and maintenance requirements before damage occurs and costly repairs are required.
The 889 relay provides Trip and Close Circuit Monitoring elements
This element calculates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current squared passing through the breaker contacts as an arc. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set an output operand and set an alarm.
The 889 relay provides breaker health information by monitoring and analyzing the operation count, arcing energy of breaking current, arcing time, tripping time, closing time and spring charging time if applicable
The 889 implements a patented environmental monitoring system that measures and provides operating condition information. Reliable and secure operation of the 889 relay and other electronic devices in the vicinity may be affected by environmental factors. The 869 relay has been designed to meet or exceed all required industry standards. Some operating conditions may be beyond those standards and reduce total lifespan of the device.
The 8 Series built-in environmental awareness feature (patent “Systems and methods for predicting maintenance of intelligent electronic devices”) collects the histograms of each operating condition from the point the device is put into service. Monitored environmental conditions include temperature, humidity and transient voltage. These parameters are now available as Flexelement to output alarms in case of limits reached due to Temperature, humidity or surges. (Please confirm if this is the part to replace the existing part).
The 889 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 provides high-bandwidth communications, allowing for low-latency controls and high-speed file transfers of relay fault and event record information. The 889 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 889 enables easy, direct integration into DCS and SCADA systems. The 889 supports the following protocols:
The 889 has two interfaces as USB front port and Wi-Fi for ease of access to the relay. Wi-Fi Connectivity:
The 869 cyber security enables the device to deliver full cyber security features that help operators to comply with NERC CIP guidelines and regulations.
Enables integration with centrally managed authentication and accounting of all user activities and uses modern industry best practices and standards that meet and exceed NERC CIP requirements for authentication and password management.
Efficiently administrate users and roles within UR devices. The new and advanced access functions allow users to configure up to five roles for up to eight configurable users with independent passwords. The standard “Remote Authentication Dial In User Service” (Radius) is used for authentication.
Capture all cyber security related events within a SOE element (login, logout, invalid password attempts, remote/local access, user in session, settings change, FW update, etc), and then serve and classify data by security level using standard Syslog data format. This will enable integration with established SEM (Security Event Management) systems.
The EnerVista™ suite is an industry-leading set of software programs that simplifies every aspect of using the Multilin 869.
EnerVista provides all the tools to monitor the status of the protected asset, maintain the device and integrate the information measured by the Multilin 8 Series, into SCADA or DCS process control systems. The ability to easily view sequence of events is an integral part of the setup software, as postmortem event analysis is critical to proper system management.
The setup tools within Launchpad allow for the configuration of devices in real-time, by communicating via serial, Ethernet or modem connections, or offline by creating device setting files to be sent to devices at a later time.
8 Series Setup Software is single setup and configuration tool across the platform and can reduce device setup and configuration time.
Traditionally, retrofitting an existing relay has been a challenging, time consuming task often requiring re-engineering, new drawings, panel modifications, re-wiring and re-testing.
The 8 Series Retrofit Kit provides a quick, 3-step solution to upgrade previously installed SR 489 relays. With the new 8 Series Retrofit Kit users are able to install the 889 Generator Management System without modifying existing cutouts and wiring, and without any drawing changes or re-engineering time.

Continuing its legacy in providing innovative solutions, Perception™ Fleet is GE Vernova's Online Transformer Fleet Management Software System that provides a revolutionary and holistic approach for transformer fleet assessments for utilities and industrial customers around the globe.
Perception Fleet is a smart software solution designed to provide a comprehensive condition evaluation of a transformer fleet. Perception Fleet can analyze and interpret data in order to determine a transformers risk without the need for expert data analysis. Full technical analysis is also instantly available for transformer technical expert use.
This is accomplished by gathering, amalgamating, analyzing and interpreting the data held on transformers utilizing GE Vernova's online monitoring devices and offline data. The data is analyzed using intelligent algorithms for condition anomalies and characteristics to determine the transformers risk. Each transformer is then assigned a risk index, and they are ranked based on their criticality and risk of failure.
Utilising and evaluating data taken from GE Vernova's online multi gas, single gas and bushing monitoring equipment. Perception Fleet performs an automate risk analysis of transformers focusing on dissolved gas analysis (DGA) of insulation oil, tap changer insulation oil DGA, bushing capacitance, bushing power factor and partial discharge.
The transformer insulation oil properties and quality is also evaluated based on the results received from labs for manually sampled transformer oil. Perception Fleetx's specific offline oil algorithm uses oil analysis techniques outlined by standards, working groups, committees and industry experts to evaluate the condition of the transformer where online monitoring is not available.
Due to the increased and varied level of information provided in lab results Perception Fleet is capable of evaluating a wealth of information beyond pure DGA, as outlined in the brochure.
The automated import facility enables not only the users but their labs to seamlessly update Perception Fleet with the latest data for a manual oil sample analysis. Perception Fleet then performs an automated analysis and evaluation of the newly imported data without the need for any operator interaction.
As well as analysing manually sampled oil data, the offline algorithm can also perform an analysis of oil information from 3rd party online monitors or software applications. The algorithm determines the data available in the imported CSV file received from the 3rd party and performs an evaluation.
In a world of intelligent and powerful monitoring devices, customers face the problem of data overload making it hard for operators and other users to recognize changes, identify abnormal conditions and react quickly. Perception has used cognitive techniques to build its dashboards for rapid recognition of any change and with extensive use of the traffic light approach that empowers users with at-a-glance recognition of key indicators or important condition changes optimizing reaction time.
The fleet dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of the transformer fleet, highlighting which transformers are being monitored and risk assessed, how many monitoring devices are experiencing alarms, the overall fleet risk index history and the critical events occurring within the fleet. The device summary dashboard automatically self-configures to show, the most important data from all available online monitoring devices in a simple and concise design.
Perception Fleet incorporates several internationally recognized standards for dissolved gas analysis. These standards are widely considered as the best in class and are attired to by transformer technical experts throughout the world.
The algorithms used in Perception Fleet automatically apply these standards along with best practice techniques against the dissolved gas data received by the GE Vernova online monitoring device. By combining these standards within the algorithms, the software is able to calculate the transformers risk index and score. The algorithm assigned to a transformer can also be weighted in terms of its importance and its sensitive to the parameters adjusted - these adjustments have a direct impact on the algorithm and affects the final risk index and risk score applied to each transformer. Perception Fleet's standards-based algorithms Include:
