Harmonic Protection Relay

Listing ID #4119863

S-PRO 4000 is a digital, microprocessor-based sub-harmonic protection system that provides comprehensive sub-harmonic protection for transmission lines at any voltage level, particularly those with serial compensation and interconnected with wind farms. Use the S-PRO Sub-Harmonic Protection Relay for monitoring and protection of uncontrolled sub-harmonics, ensuring a reliable operation of the power grid.
Undamped sub-harmonic current oscillations created by series capacitors interacting with the wind system can cause serious damage to wind turbine controllers and also to conventional generators. The wind turbine's own mechanical system interactions (tower-to-blade) can also generate sub-harmonics, which are detrimental to induction generators, transformers, and may cause resonance at the point of common coupling in the electrical grid.
The S-PRO 4000 relay detects these sub harmonic oscillations and allows the utility to monitor and protect the power system by isolating the healthy grid from sub-harmonic generation sources.

Protect against sustained sub-harmonics in wind farm operations
