Canada : GE Launches Next Evolution of Innovative Multilin 8 Series Platform [TendersInfo (India)]


(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) GE today announced the availability of the MultilinTM 869 Motor Protection System designed for the protection, control and management of medium and large induction and synchronous motors. Built on GEâ s 100+ year history in industrial electrical automation, the Multilin 869 joins the Multilin 850 feeder protection system to create a common product platform that will enable industrial and distribution utilities to enhance the reliability of multiple different assets in their electrical infrastructure and reduce costs associated with unplanned outages.



As part of the Multilin 8 Series platform family, originally announced in September 2013, the Multilin 869 delivers high-speed protection and control features and easy-to-use tools for faster motor configuration and startup helping operators get the Multilin 869 configured quickly. The system also generates motor functioning reports which facilitate quick and easy identification of potential motor issues and any needed corrective action to help operators minimize motor failures and limit unplanned downtime. Should a failure occur, the Multilin 869 also provides enhanced motor failure-mode analysis through broken rotor bar detection and stator turn-turn fault enabling operators to quickly identify a repair plan.

â Our customersâ electrical infrastructures are mission critical to their operations and our Multilin 869 Motor Protection System has been designed to deliver process reliability our customers can count on,â said Bala Vinayagam, director, product management, industrial protection and control for GEâ s Digital Energy business. â This new platform builds on the advances in technology and design we introduced last year which maximize reliability and product life to help our customers protect their operations.â Overall, the 8 Series platform delivers: A proven motor thermal model built on more than 25 years of protecting medium and large motors for various industrial applications. A detailed motor health report and motor diagnostics so operators can make proactive decisions to reduce unplanned outages and plan maintenance schedules. GEâ s patented environmental awareness module which actively monitors both the environment and its own internal components, coupled with standard harsh conformal coating on the 8 Seriesâ printed circuit boards, helps deliver high reliability and extends product life. Advanced cybersecurity features to help customers comply with the latest NERC/CIP and NISTIR 7628 cybersecurity requirements. Advanced communications to allow easy integration into process and electrical control systems for smoother asset monitoring and control. With many industrial processes using a variety of communication protocols, integrating a new product can potentially increase the overall system cost and downtime.
