Apply advanced protection and monitoring with flexible communications to two-, three-, and four-terminal transformers. Protect and control grounded and ungrounded, single- and double-wye capacitor bank configurations. The considerations for a transformer protection vary with the application and importance of the power transformer. It is normal for a modern relay to provide all of the required protection functions in a single package, in contrast to electromechanical types that would require several relays. ABB's transformer protection relays are used for protection, control, measurement and supervision of power transformers, unit and step-up transformers, including power generator-transformer blocks in utility and industry power distribution networks.
