6-1618071-6

Protection relays and systems are essential pieces of equipment within the electricity network. They are designed to detect faults like shorts circuit, overloads, and insulation faults in the equipment and also protect the assets from potential damages. 6-1618071-6 is one of these pieces of equipment. It has a wide range of applications and a great working principle, and is thus a valuable addition to the safety and protection gear available to the industry professionals.

Application Field

In the grid of the electrical network, a great number of system elements can be connected and the exchange of electrical quantities between them happens. The 6-1618071-6 protection relay system is designed to detect risk in all these elements, be it a short-circuit, overload, insulation fault, undervoltage, or overvoltage. With all the features of the 6-1618071-6 relays, it can be used with a wide range of components, such as generators, motors, transformers, cables, capacitors, busbars, and waveguide systems. Thus, the system makes sure that the entire grid is safe and secured at all times.

Other than the grid, the relay system can also be used with industrial equipment, such as boilers, air compressors, and furnaces, as well as in industrial factories and plants from the process industries, such as chemicals or oil and gas, to protect assets from potential damage. The system can also be used in the buildings for safety and security.

Working Principle

To thoroughly prevent any accidents in the grid due to short-circuits, the 6-1618071-6 uses a set of relays. Each of these are equipped with miniature current transformers and Voltage transformers. When a short-circuit occurs in the system, the relays will detect the current increase and automatically trigger the circuit breakers in the system, thus protecting the equipment from any potential damage caused by the fault.

The system is also designed to detect overloads and insulation faults. The current transformers play a key role here too. When an overload is detected, the current transformers measure the current that flows in the circuit and then send this data to the relay system. The relay then automatically trips the breaker, thus preventing any further damage that can be caused by an overload. Similarly, the system is also designed to detect the insulation faults and trip the circuit to prevent any further damage.

The 6-1618071-6 relay system is designed for safety and protection. The system can be used for a wide range of components and equipment, from the grid of the electrical network to the industrial equipment, and is designed to detect all kinds of risk in the system, thus saving assets from potential damages that can be caused by electric faults.
