3. PRODUCT SCOPE
The P54x is designed for all overhead line and cable applications, as it interfaces readily with
the longitudinal (end-end) communications channel between line terminals.
P54x includes a high-speed current differential unit protection with optional high performance
sub cycle distance protection including phase segregated aided directional earth fault DEF.
Four P54x models are offered:
The distance option is independent of the hardware configuration and is specified by means
of the software number (refer to the ordering options in section 3.2).
P543 and P545:
Features included only in the P543 and P545 models are: Differential for Plain and
Transformer Feeders.
P543 in (60TE /12”) with 16 inputs and 14 standard outputs (or 7 standard and 4 high break
outputs option).
P545 in (80TE /19”) with 24 inputs and 32 standard outputs (or 16 standard and 8 high break
outputs option).
P544 and P546:
Features included only in the P544 and P546 models are Differential for Mesh Corner.
P544 in (60TE /12”) with 16 inputs and 14 standard outputs (or 7 standard and 4 high break.
outputs option)
P546 in (80TE /19”) with 24 inputs and 32 standard outputs (or 16 standard and 8 high break
outputs, or 8 standard and 12 high break outputs options).
