Schneider Electric P243-311A2MCD28M

comprehensive protection relay Schneider Electric P243-311A2MCD28M

P243-311A2MCD28M is a comprehensive protection relay for rotating machines (motors/generators) from Schneider Electric’s MiCOM P243 series. It is a high-end digital protection device mainly used for the full protection, control and monitoring of large motors and synchronous motors.

1. Interpretazione del codice modello (P243-311A2MCD28M)

P243: Base series, motor differential protection and integrated management relay.

3: Hardware configuration/version (corresponding to I/O, power supply and interface combination).

11: Protection function configuration (including complete motor protection such as differential, sovracorrente, overheating, stall, unbalance protection, ecc.).

A2: Auxiliary power supply rating (typically 220–240V AC/DC or 110V DC, subject to nameplate).

M: CT input type (1UN / 5UN).

C: Communication interface (including Modbus RTU, optional IEC 61850, Profibus DP).

D28: I/O configuration (per esempio.: 16 ingressi digitali / 16 uscite relè).

M: RTD temperature monitoring (supports 6–10 platinum resistance thermometers for winding/bearing temperature measurement).
