MB140 Series

Part of the 140 platform, the MB140x feeder management relays provide an integrated solution for the complete protection, control and monitoring of overhead lines and underground cables, covering all distribution voltage levels.

Providing all essential information to efficiently maintain complex power systems and their components, the MB140x relay family is user-friendly, allowing application on any electrical network.

The MB140x is a feeder management relay platform with over current and earth fault protection, as well as auto reclose and a full suite of protection, control and monitoring functions.

The platform also provides main or back-up protection for MV, solidly earthed, and isolated neutral systems.

Key benefits:

  • Full feeder management with efficient monitoring, control, recording and digital communications

  • Supports major digital control system protocols for integration into DCS, SCADA and engineering workstations.

  • Harsh environment protection extends the life of the product.

Overview

  • 3-stages of non-directional over current, earth fault, sensitive earth fault protection

  • Negative phase sequence over current, Broken conductor, Breaker fail protection.

  • Auto reclose & Cold Load Switching Feature.

  • TCS, CB Monitoring, Max Current Demand Supervision functions.

  • IEC 61850 with Rear FO Port, Modbus RTU or IEC60870-5-103 with RS 485 Rear Port for Remote Communication.

  • Front USB Port for User interface.

Special Application:

  • Auto reclose function offers multi shots reclosing to avoid discontinuity during transient fault tripping in transmission lines.

  • The standard curves offers reliable fault tripping, without constraining circuit loadability

  • Cold Load Switching feature avoids protection relay tripping due to inrush current, when a distribution circuit is re-energized following an extended outage.
