Main Functions
The main functions are autonomous functions and
can be individually configured or disabled to suit a
particular application.
The relays of these ranges comprise a full suite of
protection functions as well as an automatic
recloser and auxiliary functions; each function can
be individually configured or disabled suiting any
particular application.
