Numerical Voltage & Frequency Protection Relay

ARGUS 8

Description
The Argus 8 range of numerical voltage and frequency relays have the power and flexibility of microprocessor technology, giving a wide range of settings which are supplemented by advanced features such as metering, data storage and Fibre-Optic communications. Supervisory and self-monitoring features give added confidence to the user as well as reduced maintenance and down time. A menu-based interface gives userfriendly access to relay settings, meters and operational data.

Control
The basic 2 pole Argus 8 relay contains 7 programmable output relays, 1 of which have 1 CO contact, 1 NC contact and 5 have 1 NO contact The basic 3 pole Argus 8 relay contains 7 programmable output relays, 3 of which have 1 CO contact and 4 have 1 NO contact. Expanded variants provides 4 extra output relays, each having 1 NO contact The basic 2 pole Argus 8 relay contains 4 programmable digital (status) input The basic 3 pole Argus 8 relay contains 1 programmable digital (status) input, with an additional 4 or 8, provided in expanded variants

Applications
