Selection Suggestions and Precautions
- Selection Suggestions
- Select the GE SR489-P1-HI-A20-E for small-to-medium generators requiring comprehensive protection, fast response, and hot-swap maintenance.
- Pair with surge protectors and voltage regulators in unstable grid environments to enhance transient resilience.
- Use with EnerVista software for remote configuration and real-time monitoring, optimizing operational efficiency.
- Precautions
- Ensure CT secondary compatibility (1A) to avoid measurement errors and relay misoperation.
- Verify control power (90-300 VDC/70-265 VAC) matches the system to prevent damage to the GE SR489-P1-HI-A20-E.
- Follow lockout-tagout during hot-swap to prevent electrical hazards in live generator environments.
- Calibrate annually to maintain 10ms operation time and 50ms metering accuracy for reliable fault detection.
