The digital differential protection relays NPDT620 and NPDT630 are designed to provide fast and selective protection of 2 and 3-winding three-phase transformers.
The NP600 relays can detect various types of fault in the zone to be protected, such as phase-phase faults, inter-winding faults and earth-fault.
Restricted earth-fault protection, on primary and secondary sides, is available as an optional function for 3-winding transformers.

In addition to the protection functions, NPDT relays also perform monitoring, measurement and recording of the electrical quantities of the network.
Parameters can be set locally, using either the integrated display/keypad or the RS232 port, or remotely using the RS485 port.
Electrical values calculation is achieved by Fast Fourier Transforms.
Setting, reading, measurement and recording functions are available in local mode as well as in remote mode.
