PROTECTION RELAYS

The MPRB together with a set of MPTA transformers, form a

three-phase protection system against overloads in transformers
and medium voltage distribution centres.
Using a sequence of trip impulses, the supply system is
interrupted by a switch or other breaking element. These
impulses are generated by the MPRB relay when an overload
continues over a certain time period.
The high degree of protection from the relay (IP 67) and the resin
transformer box give the equipment excellent qualities for working
in adverse environmental conditions.

OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTORS ST
Protection relays and devices

ST series overvoltage protectors are especially designed to offer

complete and effective protection against transient overvoltages
in any type of electrical system (TT, TN o IT), whether they are in
common or differential mode.

They are capable of earthing high currents which are produced

when an overvoltage in the system occurs, due, for example to a
lightning strike on the line. To do this they use varistors, elements
which allow a high derivation current and the low residual voltage
to be achieved.

When the ST protectors operate they deteriorate and worsen

with a larger discharge. This continuous deterioration forces the
ST protectors to finish their useful life, meaning that they have to
be replaced. To detect when this happens, there is a visual and
remote display (the latter being optional).
