GE MULTILIN | 745-W2-P1-G1-HI-A-R-E | 745 Transformer Management Relay

The GE Multilin 745-W2-P1-G1-HI-A-R-E Transformer Management Relay is a high-performance transformer protection and monitoring device designed for two-winding transformer applications. It provides comprehensive transformer differential protection, overcurrent protection, monitoring, control, and diagnostic functions for electrical power systems.

The 745 series relay combines transformer protection, measurement, event recording, and system management functions in a draw-out relay platform. The W2 configuration supports two windings per phase, while the P1 and G1 configurations provide 1 A phase and ground current input ratings. The HI option supports high-range auxiliary power input, and the A/R/E options provide additional analog I/O, restricted ground fault protection, and enhanced features.
