General
The Feeder Terminal REF 542plus is a com-
pact protection, control, measurement and
supervision terminal for the power distribu-
tion system. The same terminal can be used
for feeder, transformer and motor protection
and control, or solely for switchgear control.
The terminal features an impressive range of
protection and management functions readily available for adapting the unit to the intended
application. The versatility of the REF
542plus terminal makes it a given solution for
any air or gas insulated distribution substa-
tion switchgear as shown in figure 1 and in
figure 2.
