• Full scheme 3-zone distance relay
with 18 measuring elements.
• Characteristic shopes to suitall
line lengths and fault levels,
• Fast operating limes over a very
wide range of fault conditions.
• Digital synchronous polarising for
close-upthree phase faults.
• Microprocessor scheme logic: with
wide range of built-in schemes
selected by option switches.
• Ample input/outputfacilities - 5
optically coupled inpub, 2.4output
contacts, 10 light emitting dio~.
• Full range of lest features for
commissioning and routine testing.
Interfacing enables automatic field
lest equipment 10 be used if
required.
• Continuous self monitoring, on-
demand and periodic self-lesting.
• Built-in vollcge transformer
supervision.
• Built-in power swing blocking
feature.

AppIicalian
The QUADRAMHO distance relay has
been designed and developed for
high speed protection of medium and
high voltage transmission, sub-
transmission and distribution lines.
The full scheme design offers many
advantages over switched relays
traditionally used in this application.
The full scheme arrangement uses 18
comparators eliminating the need for
starting relays and switchingcircuits,
thus providing a high degree of
reliability and foster operating times.
The relay is suitable for both three
pole ond singl&<lnd-three-pole
tripping of the circuit breaker.
Either busbar or line voltage
transformers may be used and these
am be either capacitor VT's or
electro-magnetic VT's.
CT requirements are moderote as the
relay is highlytoleront of saturated
current transformers.
