Advantages and Features
- Independent Backup Protection
The GE IS220PPROS1B operates separately from primary PTUR packs, ensuring protection even if the main control system fails, meeting IEEE turbine protection standards.
- Flexible Redundancy & Scalability
Supports TMR for mission-critical plants and single-pack configurations for basic systems, adapting to diverse power generation setups.
- Multi-Speed Signal Processing
Handles three speed signal types, enabling precise overspeed/acceleration monitoring for gas/steam turbines of all sizes.
- Seamless IONet Integration
Ethernet IONet connectivity ensures real-time data exchange with Mark VIe control modules, reducing latency in trip response and simplifying diagnostics.
Application Cases in Application Fields
- Coal-Fired Power Plant Turbine Protection
A Chinese coal-fired plant integrated three GE IS220PPROS1B packs in TMR configuration for its 660MW steam turbines. The PPROs detected a primary control overspeed anomaly, triggering a backup trip within 20ms to prevent turbine damage, cutting unplanned downtime by 45% and avoiding $2M in repair costs.
- Combined-Cycle Gas Turbine Grid Stability
A European combined-cycle plant used the GE IS220PPROS1B to monitor generator synchronization. During a grid disturbance, the module verified loss of sync and initiated a backup trip, preventing generator islanding and maintaining grid compliance.
- Industrial Cogeneration Turbine Safety
A chemical plant deployed the GE IS220PPROS1B for its cogeneration steam turbine. The independent watchdog function detected a primary control communication failure, triggering a safe shutdown and avoiding a 72-hour production outage.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Suggestions
- Turbine Type & Size
Choose the GE IS220PPROS1B for gas/steam turbines; pair with TREL (large steam), TRES (small/medium steam), or TREA (general) terminal boards for optimal fit.
- Redundancy Needs
Opt for TMR configuration (3 PPRO packs) for nuclear/coal plants; single-pack setups suffice for industrial cogeneration systems.
- Mark VIe Compatibility
Prioritize the GE IS220PPROS1B for Mark VIe DCS—native IONet integration eliminates compatibility issues and reduces engineering time.
Precautions
- Terminal Board Matching
Ensure compatibility between the GE IS220PPROS1B and trip terminal boards (TREL/TRES/TREA) to avoid trip logic mismatches.
- Redundancy Configuration
Follow TMR guidelines for three-PPRO setups; verify Ethernet IONet connectivity for seamless data exchange with control modules.
- Power Supply Stability
Use regulated 24VDC power to prevent voltage fluctuations that could affect speed signal processing and trip response.
- Firmware Updates
Regularly update the GE IS220PPROS1B firmware via [Product Link to be Inserted] to maintain compliance with IEEE C37.106 turbine protection standards.
