Schneider VAMP 57 PowerLogic Intelligent Protection Relay
Schneider VAMP 57 PowerLogic Intelligent Protection Relay is a multifunction numerical relay developed for protecting and controlling low- and medium-voltage power systems. It can be configured for feeder, motor, voltage, and general distribution protection, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and utility applications.
The relay combines protection, control, metering, and monitoring functions in a single device, helping reduce the number of individual components required in a switchgear panel. It measures key electrical parameters such as current, voltage, frequency, harmonics, and current imbalance, giving operators a clear view of system performance.
VAMP 57 is built on Schneider Electric’s proven VAMP protection platform and supports modern communication standards for easy integration with SCADA and substation automation systems. Its intuitive display, programmable function keys, and VAMPSET configuration software make commissioning and day-to-day operation straightforward.
