Schneider VAMP 255 PowerLogic Feeder and Motor Protection Relay

Schneider VAMP 255 PowerLogic Feeder and Motor Protection Relay is a multifunction numerical relay designed for protecting and managing low- and medium-voltage feeders, motors, and electrical distribution systems. It combines protection, control, metering, and communication functions in a single device, making it suitable for industrial plants, utility substations, and OEM switchgear applications.

With five current inputs and three voltage inputs, the relay supports a wide range of current- and voltage-based protection schemes, including directional overcurrent protection and auto-reclose functions. It also provides detailed electrical measurements, fault records, and event logs, helping operators monitor system performance and diagnose faults more efficiently.

VAMP 255 features built-in Ethernet communication with native IEC 61850 support for seamless integration with SCADA and substation automation systems. Its expanded digital input and output capacity makes it a good choice for applications that require additional control and monitoring signals.
