Product overviewPCS-978S transformer relay delivers fast, selective protection, control and monitoring for two-winding and three-winding transformers, auto-transformers and shunt reactors. All transformer protection elements are user-configurable. Integrated diagnostic, disturbance/event recording and extensive communication interfaces enable application in both conventional and digital substations.
