Communication Topologies
Relays can communicate through direct
fiber, RS422, G.703, IEEE C37.94 interfaces at
64Kbps, with extensive channel monitoring
and diagnostics are included. In a current
differential scheme, the L30s exchange
data via the communication link, acting
either as master collecting data, making
calculations and making all relevant trip
and restraint decisions, or as slave only
transmitting current data to the one acting
as master. For two terminal applications,
use the redundant communications
capability of the L30 for optimal reliability
of the current differential line protection.
For this scheme, data is continuously
transmitted over both channels, so if a
failure occurs, the L30 will continue to
provide current differential protection.
Synchronism Check
Overcurrent Functions
The L30 provides thermal overload, time
and instantaneous overcurrent elements
for phase, neutral, ground, negative
sequence, phase and neutral directional.
Any of them can run in parallel with
primary differential protection or can be
programmed to run when the differential
element is not available.
Autoreclosing
Breaker Failure
The L30 provides two fully independent
breaker failure protection elements.
Typical Applications
Typical two and application of L30. L30 supports a variety of media cards for signalling between L30s
including direct multimode or single mode fibre, RS422, G.703 and IEEE C37.94.

Scalable Hardware
The L30 is available with a multitude of I/O
configurations to suit the most demanding
application needs. The expandable modular
design allows for easy configuration and
future upgrades.
Advanced Automation
FlexLogic
FlexLogic is the powerful UR-platform
programming logic engine that provides
the ability of creating customized
protection and control schemes thereby

Fault Reports
- Powerful summary report of pre-fault
and fault values
The very high sampling rate and large
amount of storage space available for
data recording in the L30 can eliminate
the need for installing costly standalone
recording equipment.

Viewpoint Monitoring
Viewpoint Monitoring is a simple-to-use
and full-featured monitoring and data
recording software package for small
systems. Viewpoint Monitoring provides a
complete HMI package with the following
functionality:
Viewpoint Maintenance
Viewpoint Maintenance provides tools that
will create reports on the operating status
of the relay, simplify the steps to download
fault and event data, and reduce the work
required for cyber-security compliance
audits. Tools available in Viewpoint
Maintenance include:
Settings Security Audit Report
Device Health Report
EnerVista Integrator
