SR489-P5-HI-A20-E

Key Features & Advantages

The **GE SR489 489-P5-HI-A20** is a high-impedance differential relay (87G) designed for generator stator protection. Its 2nd/5th harmonic blocking prevents false trips during transformer inrush or overexcitation. The relay includes a 1A/5A auto-ranging CT input with ±0.5% accuracy for precise fault detection. Dynamic CT saturation detection ensures reliability during asymmetrical faults.

Advanced metering: Provides real-time synchrophasors (PMU) for grid stability monitoring. The 256-event oscillographic recorder captures pre-/post-fault waveforms for root-cause analysis. GE’s EnerVista SR software simplifies settings management with adaptive logic and GOOSE messaging support for IEC 61850 systems.

Applications

Critical for **power plant generators** (10-500 MVA) to detect stator ground faults and phase imbalances. Used in **industrial cogeneration systems** to protect gas turbines from internal short circuits. **Hydroelectric plants** leverage its frequency ride-through capability during grid disturbances. Also deployed in **data center backup generators** and **marine propulsion motor protection**.

Installation & Maintenance

**Installation**: Use shielded twisted-pair wiring for CT circuits. Ensure CT polarity matches relay labeling. Configure grounding via the relay’s CT shorting terminal block. **Testing**: Perform primary injection testing annually using Omicron CMC 356. Verify slope characteristics (10-50% adjustable) during commissioning. **Maintenance**: Update firmware via EnerVista using USB or Ethernet. Replace backup lithium battery (CR2032) every 5 years.

Product Assurance

The SR489 undergoes 50g shock and 5g vibration testing per IEC 60255. Includes a 3-year warranty with 10-year hardware support lifecycle. Complies with NERC PRC-025-2 for generator protection. GE’s Grid Solutions provides relay coordination studies and arc-flash analysis. Documentation includes ANSI C37.90.1-compliant test plans and SELogic configuration examples.
