Current differential relay

The ALP series covers differential protection and accounts for current transformer errors by providing a two slope differential setting characteristic. The events of transformer ultrasaturation during inrush and very low second harmonic content are properly covered by the unique SECURE blocking algorithm.

  • Application for up to six winding transformers
  • DNP3 and IEC61850 GOOSE communication
  • Cybersecure to help meet NERC CIP requirements
