8.1. Construction and installation
AQ-X257 IEDs are members of modular and scalable AQ-2xx series and includes 9 con gurable
modular add-on card slots. As a standard con guration the IEDs includes combined CPU, IO and
Power supply module, and separate current measurement modules. AQ X257 IED also has an
additional voltage measurement module. In the gure below is presented a non-optioned model AQ-
257-XXXXXXX-
AAAAAAAAA
of the AQ-X257 IED family.
Figure. 8.1. - 174. Modular construction of and AQ-X257 IEDs
AQ-X257 modular structure allows scalable solutions for different application requirements. In any of
the non-standard con gured slots from F to N can be ordered with any available add-on module which
can be binary IO module, integrated Arc –protection or any special module provided. Only
differentiating factor in the device scalability is considering the M and N slots which also support
communication options. In the gure below is presented a fully optioned model AQ-X257-XXXXXXX-
BBBCCCCCJ of the AQ-X257 IED family.
