Protection Relays

NA011
FEEDER PROTECTION RELAY
THE ECONOMICAL SOLUTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF LINES
AND TRANSFORMERS WITH AUTOMATIC RECLOSER

— Application
The relay type NA011 can be used in radial networks as feeder or power transformer protection.
In solidly grounded systems the residual overcurrent protection can be used on feeders of any length, while in
ungrounded or Petersen coil and/or resistance grounded systems, the residual overcurrent protection can be
used on feeders of small length in order to avoid unwanted trippings due to the capacitive current contribution
of the feeder on external ground fault.
The NA011 protection relay may be shipped with traditional CTs or low power (LPCT) current inputs; for both ver-
sions, the residual overcurrent protection can use the measured (CTs or balanced transformer) or the calculated
residual current.
