G59/2 protection is required when a grid connecting embedded generation scheme is installed in the UK to protect against:

AC Voltage change Frequency change Vector shift / ROCOF

On systems in excess of 16Amps per phase G59/2 regulations apply for all UK installations.

The G59/2 protection panel is provided fully equipped with an internally mounted G59 relay complete with LCD display screen, manual reset button, last trip record & sealable locking facility. The G59 relay will automatically disconnect the embedded generator from the DNO grid source upon a mains fault by use of a single or three phase contactor. The panel is supplied with a door interlocked (padlockable) isolator switch for additional user protection & enables the user to manually disconnect the embedded generator. A green indicator lamp connected is fitted on the panel door to give quick indication to the user that the DNO grid source is connected Control circuits and relay voltage inputs are fitted with single pole miniature circuit breakers The G59 relay is of the programmable type with functions to protect against: o o o o o Under & over voltage 230v single phase or 400v three phase (ANSI 27/59) Under & over frequency 50Hz (ANSI 81L/H) Vector shift (ANSI 78) ROCOF (ANSI 81R) Voltage asymmetry (ANSI 47) Positive sequence under voltage Negative sequence over voltage Phase sequence supervision

Under & over voltage / frequency has two stage settings to cover short term all well as long term disturbances as defined in G59/2 regulations Adjustable time delay for automatic fault reset (if required) Vector shift & ROCOF protection are selectable to give a best fit for a secure site Five relay outputs can be configured & wired to terminals (at extra cost) to enable a wide range of signalling & trip methods

When ordering please confirm if 1- phase or 3- phase system & Kw rating required. The G59/2 panel can be used on any type of embedded generator system such as diesel engine / alternator, wind turbine, solar PV or water turbine.

List price (ex works) 1220.00 for either single phase 230v (max 14kW / 60A) or three phase 400v
(max 30kW / 45A) larger current ratings are available for prices please contact the office.
