Protection Relays
Protection relays for stand-alone
For traction equipment and infrastructure
Wabtec maintenance and supply free protection relays offer stand-alone current and voltage monitoring for traction equipment as well as infrastructure. They are used for applications like voltage catenary, short circuit, overload and ground fault detection in traction power electronics or railway substations.
Basic functions:
- Minimum voltage relays
- Maximum voltage relays
- Differential voltage relays
- Minimum current relays
- Maximum current relays
- Differential current relays
- Interval voltage relays
