MiCOM P891
Circuit Breaker
Trip / Close Module

P891 is suitable for application with protection relays where

relay independent tripping and closing functionality is
desired.

Independent circuit breaker indication is provided by two

LEDS allowing for direct wiring of the circuit breaker's 52A
and 52B contacts. With the wide voltage supply range
capability, integration into any battery supply system is
simple.

Configure the module to integrate with feeder management

relay functions such as autoreclosing and check
synchronizing and provide a secure CB control solution.

Pushbutton covers are provided to prevent inadvertent

operation of pushbutton switches. This safety feature allows
the module to be used under the most stringent operating
procedures. These covers can also be removed if not
required.

Customer Benefits
• Control to suit
customers' operational
procedures.
• Simple and robust
design
• Clear status indication

 APPLICATION HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

The MiCOM P891 Trip/Close module can be applied to
directly control a circuit breaker or other plant such as
motorised line isolator switches requiring
open(trip)/close control.
> Typical Application
The application shows the P891 combined with the
P14x and P991 to provide a complete feeder scheme
solution. The P891 provides relay independent tripping
and closing functionality. This functionality can also be
integrated with the protection relay to make use of relay
functions such as check synchronising or
autoreclosing.
The module is housed in a 10TE Midos Case, suitable
for either rack or panel mounting. Pushbuttons can be
fitted with color coded push button covers and these
can be locked by the user by means of a padlock or
other suitable locking device.
> Features
• Close and Trip pushbuttons
• Red and Green LED indication for device open
and close indication
• Universal power supply for LED indication circuit
• Two N/O output contacts per pushbutton
• Removable Pushbutton covers(optional)
• ANSI Labelling
