PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 General Description
The Eaton | Cutler-Hammer FP-5000 Protective Relay is a multifunc-
tion panel mounted, microprocessor-based relay, designed for both
ANSI and IEC applications (Figure
1-1
). It is a self-contained device
which operates from either ac or dc control power and provides true
rms sensing of each phase and ground current. Only one relay is
required per 3-phase circuit. Current, voltage and operator-
selectable protective functions are integral to each device.
The FP-5000 is designed to protect the mains, ties or feeders at any
voltage level. It is primarily applied on medium voltage
distribution circuits up to 69 kV. The FP-5000 monitors several
primary and derived electrical parameters of the system.
1.2 Audience
The audience for this document is the Specifying or System
Engineer, the operating personnel and the troubleshooting person-
nel. This document will guide the system user to apply and program
the FP-5000. The document will provide operating information,
enabling the operating user to start and trip the breaker associated
with the FP-5000. The operator can refer to this publication
regarding any operation of the FP-5000. This document will also
provide information to program the FP-5000 and use the trouble-
shooting features to collect and analyze historical, trending and
oscillographic data.
