This document discusses the features and capabilities of Easergy P3 generator protection relays. The relays offer machine differential protection, single-line diagrams and alarms in the user interface, configurable interlocking, and optional arc flash detection. They also allow for virtual current and voltage injection, have robust hardware suitable for industrial conditions, common technology for cost efficiency including IEC 61850 support, and a clear user-machine interface. The document concludes by noting that a product selection guide is available to help choose the appropriate Easergy P3 relay based on the application.

2 Product introduction Generator protection with machine differential protection
• Single-line diagram, measurements and alarms in the user-machine interface
(UMI) • User-configurable interlocking for primary object control • Optional arc flash detection utilizing point sensors and a fiber loop that can provide system wide arc flash detection.
Virtual injection
• Current and voltage injection by manipulating the database of the product by
setting tool disturbance recorder file playback through the product's database
Robust hardware
• User-selectable Ethernet, RS485 or RS232 -based communication interfaces
• Designed for demanding industrial conditions with conformal-coated printed circuit boards • Standard USB connection (type B) for Easergy P3 setting software
Common technology for cost efficiency
• Powerful CPU supporting IEC 61850
• Thanks to four setting groups, adaptation to various protection schemes is convenient
User-machine interface (UMI)
• Clear LCD display for alarms and events
• Single-line diagram mimic with control, indication and live measurements • Programmable function keys and LEDs • Circuit breaker ON/OFF control • Common firmware platform with other Easergy P3 range protection relays
