Areas of application

The REG216 is used to protect generators and transformers.

The modular hardware and software design allows extremely flexible installation.

The combination of software libraries and hardware allows simple adaptation to the size of the primary system and the required protection scheme.

Modules. As a result, economical solutions can be realized in a wide range of applications.

Economical solution.

The REG216 software system provides a library of protection functions. The following table lists the functions applicable to generator and transformer protection.

Different levels of redundancy can be selected.

The availability and reliability of the protection can be selected according to the application in the following ways

For example, the auxiliary power supply unit for the entire system can be replicated.

Standard interfaces make the REG216 compatible with different process control systems.

Data can be exchanged with higher process control levels, e.g. for one-way reporting of digital status and events, measured values and protection parameters.

The REG216 and REG216 Classic differ in their binary process connection:

- The REG216 uses the E/A module 216GD61a.

- REG216 Classic uses modules 216GE61 / 216GA61 and 216GA62.
