Schneider Electric PowerLogic™ MiCOM P116 Feeder Protection Relay

Schneider Electric PowerLogic™ MiCOM P116 Feeder Protection Relay combines feeder protection, control, and monitoring functions for medium-voltage distribution systems. The relay helps operators manage feeder circuits by detecting faults quickly and isolating affected sections before they impact the wider network.

Unlike basic overcurrent relays, the MiCOM P116 adds directional protection capabilities that help determine the direction of fault currents. This feature becomes particularly valuable in interconnected distribution networks, ring main systems, and installations where multiple power sources can contribute to a fault.

The relay continuously monitors feeder conditions and records important fault and event information. Maintenance teams can use this data to investigate disturbances, improve system performance, and reduce downtime. Its compact design allows easy installation in switchgear panels, substations, and industrial power distribution systems.
