F30 feeder management relay is the initial offering in a family of modular relay package products that can be networked not only in the substation but also through the corporate enterprise. Featuring high speed communications and utilizing EPRI UCA MMS/Ethernet protocol, the F30 offers the protection relay market a unified substation solution that combines advanced peer-to-peer communication capabilities, flexibility, and field-programmable FlexLogic.

The F30 is the first of a generation of digital feeder management relays that provides feeder protection and power metering functions in one integrated package. With its modular structure, common interface, PC-based software, and ability to accommodate multiple high speed communication options, the F30 can be upgraded to accommodate the needs of industrial and utility customers today and well into the future.

The F30 can be used as a stand-alone device or as a component of an automated substation control system. Protection functions include phase, neutral, ground overcurrent, and undervoltage elements. Other functions include power metering, phasor representation of current and voltage, as well as both hardware and software inputs and outputs.

The F30's three high-speed communications ports can operate independently and simultaneously while enabling system wide communications without sacrificing speed. There are easy-to-access RS232 ports and RS485 ports that support Mod-bus RTU protocol or 10Mbps Ethernet Port supporting MMS/UCA 2.0 protocol (dual-redundant 10BaseF).

The F30 also includes Windows-based PC software that allows complete access to all relay information and provides more data at a glance. Diagnostic features include a 1024 event record that tags events with time and date. The range of potential applications is expanded through Flexlogic field programmable logic that minimizes the expense normally associated with implementation and troubleshooting unusual applications; FlexCurves, a custom application that allows users to coordinate differing protection curves; and FlexModules to easily trade modules in the field.
