Optimum selectivity is assured, as the scheme measures the currents entering and leaving the protected plant item. Instantaneous tripping results for an internal fault, with stability for any out-of-zone fault. Tripping uses a proven characteristic comparing differential current with through current, for ease of testing. Phase differential elements of this type offer consistent detection of solid and resistive faults, with optimum faulted phase selection, tripping, and indication. 

Key benefits:
  • Phase segregated differential with proven biased characteristic for distribution/sub-transmission networks
  • Graphical programmable scheme logic (PSL) eases protection scheme creation, and avoids the need for external logic controllers
  • Comprehensive communication options, ideal relay for the step from pilot wire to fiber or multiplexed end-end communications

The MLP is a digital distance protection system. This powerful protection system is more cost effective than an installation using conventional equipment. Its main application is in subtransport and distribution lines of up to 66 kV and 132 kV for lines with three phase tripping, at distances of up to 150 km. Its capacity to register events, along with its control and monitoring capabilities, make it especially suitable for use in unattended substations, as it eliminates the need to send technicians to the site to collect data and reset the relay.

Protection & Control

Modern power systems are under increasing constraints in their ability to transmit power from generation facilities to major load centers, and are forced to operate closer to their natural stability limits. Under these conditions, the critical clearing angle – and corresponding critical clearing time – become progressively smaller and there is an increasing need to minimize the fault clearing time on these constrained circuits.

The D90Plus is ideally suited for application on circuits where fast fault detection and small breaker failure margin are required. The D90Plus allows transmission limits to be maintained or even increased while respecting the transient stability limits of the power system.

Security - Enabling NERC CIP Comliance

Access Control

Multilin devices and relays are designed with simple but powerful security to enable reliability and compliance for virtually any project or implementation. With support for multi-level permissions and multi-factor supervisory controls, Multilin devices can help you manage the integrity of your system during commissioning, testing, implementation, and beyond. The UR and URPlus families provide separate authentication for settings and commands to the system. In addition, as discrete authentications for local and remote access, they also provide a supervisory control factor that can lock or unlock a device for configuration changes and other modifications.

Intrusion Detection

Multilin’s family of protection and control products can also help enable your security perimeter and intrusion detection programs. By providing essential alarming and logging of critical events, Multilin devices can help you detect potential breaches within your system and allow you to respond quickly and effectively. Specifically, unsuccessful access attempts are logged, alarmed, and lead to potential attackers being locked out. This ensures the reliability of your system during questionable activity, and a control factor that can lock or unlock a device for configuration changes and other modifications.

Auditing and reporting
Auditing and Reporting

With the security audit trail reporting feature and support for event logging of key 
activities such as configuration changes, Multilin devices can help ensure device and 
protection system integrity, and perform forensic auditing of activities and changes 
for compliance.

Enhanced Sub-Cycle Distance Protection
  • Sub-cycle quadrilateral characteristic added for applications where this characteristic is preferred over the mho characteristic
  • True digital CCVT filter to remove voltage transients introduced and provide accurate voltage information for distance protection – requires only three relay settings
Software Ease-of-Use:

EnerVista Viewpoint Engineer now available for graphical configuration of Protection and Automation FlexLogic™

Security Enhancements - Enabling NERC CIP compliance:
  • Dual permission access requiring live permission from both the user and from SCADA operators before settings can be changed or commands can be given to the relay
  • Remote and local setting and control passwords
  • Configurable lockout responses to unsuccessful password access attempts
  • Successful password access logged in events record
  • Logging of user commands in the security audit trail report creates a record and sequence of events log for troubleshooting and security auditing
