Instructions for the FP-6000 Protective Relay
1 Product Overview
1.1 General Description
The Eaton FP-6000 Protective Relay is a multifunction panel
mounted, microprocessor-based relay, designed for both ANSI
and IEC applications (Figure 1). It is a self-contained device which
operates from either ac or dc control power and provides true
rms sensing of each phase and ground current. Only one relay is
required per 3-phase circuit. Current, voltage and operator-
selectable protective functions are integral to each device.The
FP-6000 is designed to protect the mains, ties or feeders at any
voltage level. It is primarily applied on medium voltage
distribution circuits up to 69 kV. The FP-6000 monitors several
primary and derived electrical parameters of the system.
1.2 Audience
The audience for this document is the Specifying or System
Engineer, the operating personnel and the troubleshooting
personnel. This document will guide the system user to apply
and program the FP-6000. The document will provide operating
information, enabling the operating user to start and trip the
breaker associated with the FP-6000. The operator can refer to
this publication regarding any operation of the FP-6000. This
document will also provide information to program the FP-6000
and use the troubleshooting features to collect and analyze
historical, trending and oscillographic data.
