Description
The GE 469-P1-HI-A20-E is an advanced industrial-grade motor management relay specifically engineered for medium and large motor protection and control. It provides comprehensive protection features, precise motor monitoring, and effective management capabilities critical to safeguarding costly motor assets and optimizing operational efficiency in industrial environments such as power generation, manufacturing, and heavy industry.
This relay integrates dual RS232/RS485 communication ports for flexible connectivity, enabling integration with SCADA and PLC systems using Modbus RTU or other communication protocols. It includes advanced stall protection based on motor torque measurements, supporting two overload curves (thermal models) to accommodate different motor characteristics and operational conditions. The relay supports nine optically isolated digital inputs and four 4-20mA analog outputs for detailed real-time monitoring and control.

Technically, the GE 469-P1-HI-A20-E operates reliably in a wide power supply range of 90-300 V DC or 70-265 V AC at 48-62 Hz, while the operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +60°C. It features phase current inputs configurable for 1A or 5A CT ratings, differential current inputs for protection, and voltage inputs with accurate metering capabilities. The unit supports three-wire RTDs for temperature monitoring with alarm and trip thresholds to prevent overheating. A 40-character alphanumeric display provides clear status messages and diagnostic information, simplifying both commissioning and fault analysis.
