Generator protection REG670
670 series
Up to 24 analog inputs per IED permit
integration of main and back-up
protection in one IED and/or additional
objects
REG 670 enables full duplication of the
protection in main one and main two
and at the same time reducing the
number of IEDs
The protection is used for all type/sizes
of generators from 2 to 1200MW
The combination of generator and
G transformer protection in one IED is
unique on the world market.

Overlapping Principle used for small Generators:

Main and back-up functional scheme
System A for main protection, System B for back-up protection
Different algorithms in main and back-up to cover the same type of fault,
e.g. 87G – 21, 87T – 87GT

Duplication Principle used for normal and big Generators:

Main1 and Main2 functional scheme
Protection functions are duplicated in System A and System B e.g. 87G.1 –
87G.2 , 87T.1 – 87T.2
Both systems have the same availability and selectivity
