Our unique design also allows you to functionally enhance your Sepam relays at any time, with the addition of optional modules, allowing you to adapt to as many situations as possible. and letting your system grow as your facility does.

300,000 Installations Worldwide

Schneider Electric has provided relay protection units for 30 years. In fact, we have over 300,000 protective devices installed world-wide; critical power applications, such as standby generators for hospitals, waste-water treatment plants, data centers and telecommunication facilities.

Designed to Exceed the Dependability You Require

Superior, reliable functionality is critical in the power industry. The PowerLogic Sepam relay was specically designed around a dependability study to ensure maximum reliability. To take the notion of reliability a step further, our engineers added a comprehensive self-testing sequence that monitors internal health with status indication by a watchdog relay. Following that, they made sure our units have exceptional withstand to environmental electromagnetic disturbances, vibration and power system transients. Sepam product engineers understand your requirements.

PowerLogic Sepam Series 80 Relay

The Sepam Series 80 product was designed for one purpose to meet or exceed the protection requirements of the harshest, most demanding industrial locations bar none. A standardized footprint allows the Sepam Series 80 relay to be integrated into virtually any electrical equipment, including Substations, Mains/Feeders, Transformer, Motor and Generator applications. And, differential protection of transformer or machine transformer units provides selective, high speed protection. Expanded logic equation capabilities provide increased

customization of control and protection, while two rear communication interfaces allow multiple Modbus communications. An easy to use, graphical software interface allows operators to quickly and easily congure hardware, sensors, and protective schemes. And, the battery backup ensures historic and fault data retention in the event of a power outage. Finally, weve made checking the correct connection of CT and VT sensors easier than ever thanks to special measurements made inside the relay. For example, phase shift measurement between current and voltage allows verication of the CT and VT connections. Just a few of the many reasons the Sepam Series 80 relay is the right choice for your most demanding applications.

Important Loads and Sources:

PowerLogic Sepam Series 40 Relay

Based on the robust design of the Series 80, the Sepam Series 40 digital protective relay is designed for mid-range loads and sources. With a standardized footprint, less than 4 deep, Series 40 is easily integrated into virtually any type of electrical equipment; Mains/Feeders, Transformer, Motor and Generator applications. Directional over current protection for dual mains and ties and closed loop feeders improve coordination with adjacent protection, while current and voltage inputs provide power, energy, power factor, plus demand metering display and enhanced machine protection. CT/VT and Trip Circuit supervision also check the integrity of input sensors and interrupting devices.
Directional Ground Overcurrent Protection

Sepam Series 40 software features Boolean logic equation assistance, which allows users to quickly and easily customize both control and protection settings. And, 16 seconds of fault recording congurable for multiple captures, detailed history of last ve trip reports, and retention of the last 200 timetagged alarms, provides personnel with detailed trip diagnostic information for enhanced fault analysis.

PowerLogic Sepam Series 20 Relay

Thanks to a wide range of control power inputs and a limited number of Sepam Series 20 part numbers, selecting the right relay for basic loads and sources has never been easier. An intuitive backlit LCD display allows you to view multiple metered values (current or voltage) setup, alarm, and diagnostic information at a glance. Two 86 cycle records of fault recording, last trip fault values, and last 64 time-tagged alarms retained, offer trip diagnostic information for analysis of faults. And, 16 inverse time over current characteristic curves make coordination with adjacent protection fast and easy. Finally, programming Series 20 software is almost effortless thanks to a unique ability to create les ofine, then download them through a front port on the relay. As if that were not
Backlit LCD Display provides multiple lines of data with both text and graphics available

enough, the Series 20 relay can even run a self diagnosis to ensure it is providing the level of protection you need for your application. The Sepam Series 20 relay takes the hassle out of relay specication and gives you the protection you need for basic loads and sources.
