MiCOM Agile P140 Series

Feeder Protection Relay - P141, P142, P143, P144, P145

​

Part of the MiCOM P40 platform, the Agile P14x feeder management relays provide an integrated solution for the complete protection, control and monitoring of overhead lines and underground cables, covering all distribution and transmission voltage levels. Providing all essential information to efficiently maintain complex power systems and their components, the P14x relay family is user-friendly and highly flexible, allowing application on any electrical network.

​

The MiCOM Agile P14x is an advanced feeder management relay platform with overcurrent and earth fault protection, as well as autoreclose and a full suite of protection, control and monitoring functions. The relay can also be used as high impedance busbar with full scheme supervision. The platform also provides main or back-up protection for MV/HV, solidly earthed, impedance earthed, Petersen coil earthed and isolated neutral systems.

​

Key benefits:

​

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

  • Supports all major digital control system protocols, easing integration into DCS, SCADA and engineering workstations

  • Fast simple and reliable busbar protection as an alternative application: Numerical single-box solution with full scheme supervision

  • Harsh environment protection extends the life of the product

  • No internal batteries in GE-branded models – removes a maintenance item and eases air-freight logistics

  • Advanced binary inputs comply with the harshest norms for surge withstand, plus the ESI 48-4 EB2 standard. Spurious wiring pickup is eliminated without the use of interposing relays, external resistors or time delays. Battery/wiring faults, switching noise, and induction from long parallel circuits are tolerated without misoperation.

  • NERC CIP cybersecurity including role-based access control (RBAC), RADIUS and SysLog

​

Overview

​

  • 4-stages of non-directional/directional overcurrent, earth fault, negative phase sequence overcurrent, sensitive earth fault protection

  • 2-stage under/over voltage, 9-stage under/overfrequency, check synchronism, autoreclose and breaker fail

  • IEC 61850 redundant Ethernet, with RSTP and IEC 62439 PRP and HSR – with HSR support for up to 50 nodes in a ring

  • Graphical programmable scheme logic eases protection scheme creation and avoids the need for external logic controllers

  • Hardware modularity extends up to a maximum of 48 binary (opto) inputs

  • Integrated functionality permits control of up to eight switchgear elements in the bay, in addition to circuit breaker control

​

Key benefits:

​

  • Comprehensive library of hardware options, protection and control functions suitable to meet your system requirements

  • Advanced autoreclose and synchronizing options, including predictive closing such that CB primary contacts touch near to the exact moment that systems drift in-phase

  • The standard and user-programmable curves, supplemented by load blinders and voltage supervision offer fast and dependable fault tripping, without constraining circuit loadability

  • Distance to fault location assists dispatching of maintenance crews

Engineering Tool Suite

​

S1 Agile is the truly universal PC tool for MiCOM Agile relay, assemble all tools in a palette for simple entry, with intuitive navigation via fewer mouse-clicks. No-longer are separate tools required for redundant Ethernet configuration, phasor measurement unit commissioning, busbar scheme operational dashboards, programmable curve profiles or automatic disturbance record extraction – applications are embedded. MiCOM S1 Agile supports all existing MiCOM, K-Series and Modulex, including a utility for automatic conversion of setting files from previous generations of numerical relays like K-series and MiCOM P20 to the latest P40 Agile models.

​

To move to the future, with no loss of functionality, no loss of device support, and full compatibility with your installed base and system architecture – request a copy of S1 Agile with the contact form link below.

​

Key features in the MiCOM S1 family:

​

  • GE’s integrated engineering tool that provides users with access to automation IED configuration and record data

  • Integrated configuration and monitoring features

  • Send and extract setting files

  • Event and disturbance record extraction and analysis

​

Refurbishment Solutions – “If It’s Blue Think to Renew”

​

GE’s latest MiCOM P140 series models P141 to P145 inclusive offer an ideal path to refurbish an older installed base of MiCOM P140 relays. Whether those older products were initially sold as Alstom or AREVA-branded products, newer models retain pin-pin refurbishment capability. Advantageously, users can benefit from the advancements made in protection, control, communications, hardware and cybersecurity that have taken place in the intervening years. The new P40 retains form, fit and function compatibility but delivers the latest platform and software ready for today’s environment, and for future-proofed application for the decades ahead.

​

Pin-Pin Upgrade Methodology:

​

  • Take the order code (CORTEC) of the older relay being removed, typically a blue case relay

  • Translate to today’s latest GE MiCOM model, adding Ethernet options if required

  • Order the new P40 relay

  • Extract settings and logic, use S1 Agile toolsuite to convert

  • Detach terminal blocks from old relay, leaving wiring attached / detach terminal blocks from the new

  • Mount new relay. Old relay blocks fit straight onto the new relay - safer, no wiring to reconnect

  • Download converted files

  • Test, return circuit to service with only minutes of downtim
