DDL800 performs monitoring of railway and tramway catenaries on DC electrical networks. DDL800 acts according to rate of rise overcurrent criteria and includes a deicing monitoring function. A voltage protection is available as well as many operating functions such as a cable thermal image, a recloser with substation management and the check of the correct operation of the ultra fast circuit breaker.
The optional line test equipment EDL (consult us) confirms the fault elimination before authorizing the closing of the circuit breaker. As well as the usual protection functions, NP800 relays provide monitoring, measurement and recording of the electrical quantities of the network.
The relays can be set locally, using either the keypad and display or the RS232 port, or remotely using the RS485 port. Setting, reading, measurement and recording are all available locally or remotely.
