Ensuring Critical Operational Continuity Through Superior Quality and Innovative Design
Superior quality and reliability are the cornerstones of the Multilin 850 feeder protection system. GE ensures robust performance by investing heavily in advanced type testing facilities that simulate a full range of operating environments and adhering strictly to the highest reliability standard, IPC-A-610 Class 3. Each Multilin 850 undergoes 100% electrical stress screening before leaving the factory, and its manufacturing process takes place in a lead-free facility compliant with ISO 9001:2008 standards, guaranteeing product consistency from the outset. In terms of innovative design, the device completely eliminates electrolytic capacitors, significantly improving long-term stability and lifespan. Its unique environmental sensing module monitors environmental factors affecting product lifespan in real time, and all printed circuit boards undergo reinforced conformal coating treatment, enabling it to withstand extreme industrial environmental challenges and effectively extending the relay's service life.
The Multilin 850 redefines the protective relay as an intelligent system hub, seamlessly merging sophisticated communication with deep diagnostic insight. It offers a comprehensive suite of communication interfaces—including optional point-to-point Wi-Fi—enabling engineers to perform secure, local programming and diagnostic access. This capability significantly streamlines system configuration and maintenance, reducing both setup complexity and operational downtime. Driven by an innovative Protection Integrity Engine with custom algorithms, the relay delivers advanced diagnostics to ensure unwavering protective performance. In the realm of cybersecurity, the Multilin 850 incorporates robust safeguards such as configurable password policies, RADIUS authentication, and role-based access control. These integrated features empower users to confidently comply with stringent infrastructure security standards, including NERC CIP requirements. For common configurations like main-distributor-main wiring, it provides a more economical and reliable solution, reducing hardware requirements and simplifying system integration. Its configurable logic eliminates the need for complex programming by users, reducing implementation costs and potential points of failure.
GE's confidence in the Multilin 850 extends beyond its cutting-edge technology and manufacturing standards to an unprecedented commitment to service and support. The equipment comes with a ten-year warranty from GE, a testament to its superior quality and enduring reliability. The Multilin 850 is designed to address the unique challenges of customers' daily operations: maximizing system and process uptime through reliable automatic bus switching, high-speed fault detection to mitigate arc flash hazards, and advanced control features such as automatic reclosing. Its drawer-style plug-in design, combined with low insertion and extraction force, simplifies testing and maintenance procedures. Through detailed asset condition monitoring and preventative maintenance diagnostics, it helps users anticipate potential problems, reduce unexpected downtime, effectively extend the lifespan of critical electrical assets, and ensure the continuous, safe, and efficient supply of power—the heart of industry—ultimately creating immeasurable long-term value for customers.
