GE C60-G01-HCH-F8F-H6P-M8F-P6P-U6P-WX is a programmable relay produced by GE, mainly used in scenarios such as circuit breaker monitoring and control. Below is a relevant introduction to its specifications, application scenarios, and operating principle:

1. Specifications

Voltage: Supports both AC and DC voltages of 125V and 250V.

Mounting Method: Rack mounting.

Communication Interfaces: Equipped with an RS485 interface; may also support Ethernet communication (inferred from the similar model C60-U01-HCH-F8L-H6P-M8L-P6P-U6P-WXX).

2. Application Scenarios

Substation Integrated Automation Systems: As a standalone device, it can be used for integrated circuit breaker monitoring and controlling multi-circuit breaker configurations (including one-and-a-half circuit breaker setups and ring busbars). It can also serve as a bay controller to realize protection, control, and monitoring of circuit breakers in substations.

Industrial Control Systems: Applicable to industrial scenarios requiring precise control and status monitoring of circuit breakers, such as motor protection and power distribution systems. It ensures the safe and stable supply of electricity during industrial production processes.

3. Operating Principle

Protection and Control Functions: Through built-in logic components and programmable tools (e.g., FlexLogicTM, FlexCurvesTM, and FlexElementsTM), it implements multiple protection and control functions for circuit breakers, including circuit breaker failure protection, automatic reclosing, and synchronization checking. When a fault or abnormal condition is detected, it can quickly and accurately execute corresponding actions (such as tripping or reclosing) to protect the safety of power system equipment and lines.

Monitoring and Measurement Functions: It can measure electrical parameters such as current, voltage, power, electrical energy, and frequency. It can also monitor the trip circuit and circuit breaker operating conditions (e.g., circuit breaker arcing current, trip counter). Through these monitoring and measurement functions, it obtains real-time information on the operating status of the power system, providing data support for fault diagnosis and system operation analysis.

Communication Functions: It communicates with other equipment or systems via communication interfaces like RS485 (e.g., data interaction with substation monitoring systems and PLCs) to realize remote control and monitoring. It uploads circuit breaker status information to the upper-level control system while receiving control commands from the upper-level system, enabling automated management and coordinated operation of the entire power system.
