The RLC500 is a capacitor and filter bank protection relay that evolved from previous successful models on the foundation of years of continued development. It has quality embedded into every stage of its design and is manufactured to the strictest quality standards.
Combining state of the art hardware technology and software techniques the RLC500 provides the most convenient functionality in its sphere.
The RLC500 incorporates an impressive range of protection functions
• Thermal over-current
• Fundamental frequency over-voltage and over-current
• RMS over-current
• Fundamental frequency star point unbalance
• Fundamental frequency line current unbalance
• Fundamental frequency H-bridge configuration unbalance
• Fundamental earth fault current
• Fundamental frequency undercurrent
• Breaker Fail detection
• Capacitor bank re-switching
• Repetitive peak over-voltage
• Event tripping

Model : RLC04-B Brand :
Product Overview
The RLC04-B protection relay provides comprehensive protection for the capacitive, inductive and resistive elements of three phase medium voltage and high voltage shunt capacitor banks and harmonic filter circuits. The capacitor banks consist of several individual capacitors in a series – parallel arrangement.
By only operating when absolutely necessary it prevents unnecessary trip outs thereby preventing unnecessary financial losses and other detrimental consequences. In addition, after a system fault or equipment failure, the RLC Protection Relay trips the associated circuit breaker timorously, to ensure maximum personnel safety, and to minimize further equipment and other consequential damage.

Product Evolution Information
Released in early 2005, the RLC04-B replaces the earlier RLC Version 3 model. Although similar in overall functionality, there have been many major upgrades in hardware, specification, and operation to its predecessor.
“One relay fits all”. All of the features that were previously optional when ordering the relay, are now programmable via the set up menu. This means that there is only one version of this relay, which helps reduce your stockholding and offers the greatest flexibility should operating conditions change. The new application software addresses these new features.
The following are just some of the features that are new in the RLC04-B:
Normal Mode or H-Bridge Mode is now programmable in the same unit
50Hz or 60Hz operation is now programmable
1A/5A CT selection is now programmable – no external wiring to change
A second serial port (RS232) has been positioned on the front panel for ease of connection to a lap-top computer. This port is used for any communication with the unit, including Strike PC software or MODBUS, and in particular for firmware upgrades.
The serial port on the rear of the unit is now RS232/RS485 programmable. This port can be used for Strike PC software or MODBUS.
Both serial ports are separately programmable to baud rates of 2400 to 115200
Greater accuracy of time and current measurements
Much improved response time
Time stamping of the trip history records and certain other status registers
The digital input can be configured as one of three alternative functions; Breaker on sensing, an event input, or for remote reset
Lost password recovery procedure avoids having to return the product to the factory for re-initialisation.
