About the 489-P5-LO-A20-E

  • The 489-P5-LO-A20-E is a GE Multilin Relay belonging to GE’s SR family (which also includes the 469 Motor Protection Relay and 735 Feeder Protection Relay).
  • It is specifically designed for Generator Protection and can be used with both induction and synchronous generators.
  • The unit can operate at 25, 50, or 60 Hz.

User Interface and Control
  • Features a 40-character display for viewing value messages, diagnostics, and setpoints.
  • The front panel includes:
    • A numeric keypad
    • Status indicators
    • Value up and down keys
    • An RS232 port interface
    • Control and programming keys (reset, enter, menu, menu up, menu down)
  • This design allows for control without needing an external computer.

Back Panel Connectivity and I/O
  • The back panel provides:
    • Twelve RTD inputs (field programmable).
    • Six output relays.
    • Two RS485 communications ports supporting ModbusRTU or DNP 3.0 protocol (or both) up to 19200 bps.
    • Four VT inputs.
    • Four isolated 4-20 mA analog inputs and outputs.
    • Seven assignable digital inputs.
    • Seven CT inputs for three-phase output/three-phase neutral and ground current sensing.
    • A separate safety and filter ground.
  • All inputs meet SWC, C37.990 EMI, RFI interference immunity standards.

Key Features Summary
  • Comprehensive motor protection including voltage-dependent overload curves, torque metering and protection, and broken rotor bar protection.
  • Most advanced thermal model with multiple RTD inputs for stator thermal protection.
  • Minimizes replacement time due to draw-out construction.
  • Offers complete asset monitoring (temperature, Analog I/O, full metering including demand & energy).
  • Improves uptime of auxiliary equipment through I/O monitoring.
  • Reduces troubleshooting time and maintenance costs via event reports, waveform capture, and data logger.
  • Built-in simulation functions simplify testing and commissioning.
  • Provides cost-effective access to information through standard RS232 & RS485 serial ports, and optional Ethernet and DeviceNet Ports.
  • Supports field upgradable firmware and settings.
  • Offers optional Conformal coating for exposure to chemically corrosive or humid environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about 489-P5-LO-A20-E

What frequency ranges does the 489-P5-LO-A20-E support?

This unit can be operated at 25, 50, or 60 Hz.

Does the unit offer advanced protection features beyond basic generator protection?

While primarily for generator protection, it also features comprehensive motor protection (likely for motor-driven generators during startup or other phases), voltage-dependent overload curves, torque metering and protection, and broken rotor bar protection. It also includes the most advanced thermal model with multiple RTD inputs for stator thermal protection.

What communication protocols does the 489-P5-LO-A20-E support

The communication ports on the back panel can use ModbusRTU or DNP 3.0 protocol (or both), with speeds up to 19200 bps. Optional Ethernet and DeviceNet ports are also available for cost-effective access to information.

Reviews For 489-P5-LO-A20-E

Internal Review
(4.0)

While this model was produced more recently by General Electric Multilin it is no longer being actively produced, as such this model can be difficult to find. Another downside of owning this model is that the case can sometimes be considered fragile and will break easily if dropped or the case door is opened in a way that could break it. - AX Control Technician
