Product overviewPCS-985 generator-transformer unit protection can be applied for turbo-dynamo, gas-turbine, hydro, pumped storage and nuclear power generator with different connection modes. It supports conventional CT/VT and ECT/EVT, and provides interfaces for power plant automation.
For medium to large generator, two sets of PCS-985 protections can be used to achieve duplicated protection configuration. Two PCS-985 protections use different CT groups, and main and backup protection in one PCS-985 share one group of CTs.
PCS-985B provides complete protection scheme for a turbo-dynamo or nuclear power generator-transformer unit which usually comprises generator, main transformer, step-down transformer and exciter or excitation transformer.
PCS-985AW can be applied for large-scale hydro or pumped storage generator-transformer unit with different connection modes.
