Woodward MRU4 A0AA Voltage Frequency Protection Relay
I. Product Brief Description
It belongs to the Woodward HighPROTEC series of high-precision voltage protection measurement and control devices. It features a dual-core processor architecture, focusing on the full-process monitoring and protection of three-phase voltage, frequency, phase sequence, and zero-sequence voltage. It can handle fault tripping and locking for grid overvoltage, undervoltage, abnormal frequency, three-phase imbalance, and islanding disconnection, etc. A0AA is the basic standard version hardware configuration. The cabinet is installed in an embedded manner, suitable for voltage safety protection scenarios of medium-voltage switch cabinets and generator set plant power supply systems.
