Application
The microprocessor relay protection device RZL-01 is designed to perform the functions of relay protection, automation, control, registration and alarms of:
- cable and overhead 6-35 kV lines;
- backup power transformer protection and others.
The device is designed for installation in relay sections and compartments of switchgears, in control panels and boxes located in the relay halls and on the control desks of power substations 6-35 kV.
The device can be used for protection of distribution networks elements as an independent device, and in combination with other devices of relay protection and control systems.

Wiring Diagrams

Wiring diagram of external circuits to the devices RZL-01.01, RZL-01.02
1. The RT, A, B, GND inputs are used to connect the RS485 bus (RT-B - connect the jumper to enable the internal 120-ohm terminating resistor).
2. The states of all relays shown in "off" position. Self-supervision relay KWD closes the contacts 3-5 after powering (if relay malfunction - closes contacts 3-4).
3. Binary inputs D1-D6 are independent of connection polarity.
