M-3430 Generator Protection System

Integrated Protection SystemŪ for Generators of All Sizes

The Generator Protection system M-3430 provides protection, control, monitoring and user interface functions. Includes protection for stator phase and ground faults, loss-of-field, overexcitation, current unbalance (negative sequence), abnormal voltage and frequency, anti-motoring and inadvertent energizing. Breaker failure, VT fuse loss and system backup protection also provided. Stored targets and oscillography can be IRIG-B synchronized. Dual RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports provide user-interface capabilities. The M-3800A IPScomŪ Communications Software is included for direct serial or remote communication access. Waveform data can be downloaded using IPScomŪ, while the M-3801D IPSplotŪ Plus Oscillograph Analysis Software allows for plotting and printing of the downloaded data.

  • Microprocessor-based Generator Protection Relay that uses digital signal processing technology to provide fifteen protective relaying functions
  • Individually programmed input contacts that can be programmed to activate the output contacts.
  • Provides time-targeted information for the 32 most recent events
  • Local and remote communications ability

The IPS (Integrated Protection Systems) Communication Application Note contains valuable information for anyone trying to establish serial communication to Beckwith Electric's IPS family of generator or transformer protection relays.

BECO2200 is just one of Beckwith Electric's serial communication protocols. BECO2200 has been incorporated in the M-3420,
M-3520, M-3430, M-3440 and M-3310 line of protective relays. Technical information on this protocol can be found in the BECO2200 Communication Protocol document.

Communication database information for the M-3430 can be found in documents that support various protocols as listed in the title
MODBUS and BECO 2200 - Communications Database for the M-3420.

MODBUS protocol is supported on the
M-3430 control. See the IPS Application Note and the communication database document for more information.

IPScom, Beckwith Electric's PC based communication software package provides an easy to use graphical Windows interface for setting all parameters in the Integrated Protection System relay. At this time IPScom only supports BECO2200 protocol for communication.
