The GE Multilin G60 integrates generator protection functions with programmable control logic through the UR platform architecture. Therefore, the relay processes current and voltage inputs from generator circuits, applies protection algorithms, and issues trip or control outputs through configurable I/O modules.
The configured hardware includes dual CT/VT DSP input modules, multiple digital input and output expansion modules, and communication resources for substation automation. The relay supports generator applications requiring stator differential protection, ground fault detection, excitation monitoring, power protection, and frequency supervision.
GE Multilin UR Platform Communication and Control Features
The G60 operates within the GE Universal Relay platform and uses modular hardware design for protection and automation functions. It supports IEC 61850 communication for substation data exchange and provides Ethernet, RS485, and fiber communication options depending on installed modules.
The relay uses FlexLogic programming to execute customized control sequences. Additionally, the modular I/O structure allows users to configure trip outputs, breaker control circuits, alarms, and monitoring signals according to generator protection schemes.
The UR platform supports firmware flash compatibility across supported hardware configurations. Furthermore, the relay architecture allows I/O density scaling through configurable module selection while maintaining communication and protection processing functions.
