1.1.
Application
The numerical generator protection relay VAMP 210 includes
all the essential functions needed for protection of small or
medium-sized power generators in modern unmanned fully
automatic power plants. Further the relay includes several
programmable functions, such as arc, thermal, trip circuit
supervision and circuit breaker protection and communication
protocols for various protection and communication situations.
The generator protection relay provides comprehensive
protection for generators in various power plant types, such as
hydro, steam and diesel power plants. The same relay type can
be used for the protection of a single generator as well as for
several generators running in parallel.
The modern technology in association with an extensive self-
supervision system and a reliable construction ensures an
extremely high availability for the VAMP 210 protection relay.
