The optimal management of electrical power systems is based in particular on the reliability, availability and communication skills of protection, measurement and automation devices.
The NPM915 offers a modular motor protection and control solution for larger and more important motors requiring both current and voltage based protection functions along with complete measurements. Optional cards (I/O, communication…) are available for more comprehensive monitoring and control applications. Up to 16 RTD signals can be connected for thermal alarming and tripping.
The NPM915 communicates using various protocols including IEC 61850 substation communication standard.
