Product Summary
GE 489-P5-LO-A20 Multilin relay delivers reliable generator protection with 5A CT inputs, 4–20mA outputs, and Modbus RTU. UL, CE, RoHS certified, it offers durable -20°C to 85°C operation and a 1-year warranty for industrial automation.
Product Description
Product Overview

The GE 489-P5-LO-A20 is a microprocessor-based generator management and protection relay from the GE Multilin 489 series. It is designed to protect, monitor, and manage synchronous and induction generator applications in industrial and utility power systems.

The relay integrates electrical measurement, generator protection, temperature monitoring, alarm processing, and control functions. It helps detect abnormal operating conditions and provides protective actions to reduce the risk of generator damage.

This model features 5 A phase current transformer (CT) inputs, a low-range control power supply, and 4–20 mA analog outputs. It is equipped with the basic display configuration.

Main Functions
Generator Electrical Protection

The relay monitors generator electrical operating conditions and provides protection against abnormal current, voltage, and frequency conditions. Supported protection elements include:

  • Phase overcurrent protection
  • Ground fault protection
  • Negative-sequence overcurrent protection
  • Differential protection, where configured
  • Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
  • Overfrequency and underfrequency protection
  • Reverse power and low forward power protection
Generator Monitoring

The 489 continuously monitors important generator parameters, including phase current, voltage, active power, reactive power, frequency, and power factor.

Thermal Protection

With compatible RTD inputs and sensors, the relay can monitor generator winding, bearing, and other equipment temperatures. Temperature alarms and trip thresholds can be configured.

Analog Signal Output

The A20 option provides 4–20 mA analog outputs for transmitting selected measured values to a PLC, DCS, or plant monitoring system.

Alarm and Event Recording

The relay records alarms and operating events to help maintenance personnel investigate faults, abnormal conditions, and generator shutdowns.
