AQ200 Series – AQ-T216 Transformer Protection Relay

The Arcteq AQ T216 is a transformer protection relay with sophisticated and easy to use differential protection function.
 

The AQ T216 transformer protection relay provides for both low and high side overcurrent, earth-fault, negative sequence and two independent restricted earth-fault instances.

The AQ T216 can be applied for generator and motor differential protection as well. The AQ T216 communicates using various protocols including IEC 61850 substation communication standard.
