Industrial Application Scenarios

The RED670 1MRK000008-PB is installed within the control panels of extra-high-voltage (EHV) substations, cross-country transmission lines, major generation step-up plants, and critical utility interconnects. In these large power systems, long transmission lines are vulnerable to lightning strikes, tree encroachment, or physical cable faults. The RED670 acts as an advanced sentinel. It measures the vector current entering one end of a transmission line and utilizes high-speed communications to compare it with the current leaving the opposite end. If a mismatch is detected, indicating an active line leak or fault, the device immediately initiates high-speed breaker tripping commands to protect millions of dollars in grid assets from thermal destruction.
