Information

Overview Downloads Applications / Compatibility Product Precautions
  • GE UR8MH provides the analog current and voltage measurement interface for a compatible horizontal Multilin UR protection relay, with a sensitive ground-current channel for applications requiring greater ground-current sensitivity.
Input arrangement: Four CT and four VT inputs
Ground measurement: Sensitive-ground 8M option
Monitoring: Enhanced CT/VT hardware diagnostics
The UR replacement-module order-code structure identifies 8M as a sensitive-ground 4CT/4VT module with enhanced diagnostics. The horizontal replacement-module family provides the ordering context for UR-8M-H. Compatibility depends on the complete relay order code and installed hardware; protection elements, communications and output functions belong to the configured relay rather than to this input module alone.

The sensitive ground-current input is ten times more sensitive than the ground input of a standard CT/VT module, while the phase CT and phase VT inputs retain the regular module characteristics. UR current inputs support 1 A or 5 A CT secondaries through the corresponding terminals, with configured CT primary values from 1 to 50000 A. Each AC current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism on module withdrawal; current inputs have no internal ground connection.

CT/VT channels are arranged in groups of four. Channels 1 and 5 correspond to phase A, 2 and 6 to phase B, and 3 and 7 to phase C; channels 4 and 8 provide ground-current IG or auxiliary-voltage VX connections according to the input group. Enhanced diagnostics can detect CT/VT hardware failure and take the host relay out of service. Match the terminal schedule, ratios and host settings, then verify phase and ground measurements during the approved protection commissioning procedure.
Controller platform reference: GE Multilin Universal Relay. Match the relay order code and installed CT/VT module.
Technical downloads for GE UR8MH: a manufacturer technical excerpt and an Apter Power installation and commissioning guide.
The technical reference preserves selected manufacturer pages. The installation guide is compiled by Apter Power for preparation and review; apply the original operating procedures and site controls during work.
Install and commission UR8MH within the approved relay protection scheme. Confirm the complete hardware identity and isolate the relevant circuits before maintenance.
Match the complete assembly

Compare UR8MH, the relay order code, horizontal construction and installed slot before replacement. Do not infer compatibility from 8M alone.

Control CT circuits safely

Follow the approved CT isolation and shorting procedure. Never open an energized CT secondary; the module shorting feature does not authorize live withdrawal.

Match secondary ratings

Connect 1 A or 5 A CT secondaries to the matching module terminals and retain the correct ratio settings.

Preserve phase and ground wiring

Check phase A/B/C, ground-current and auxiliary-voltage circuits against the applicable relay terminal drawing.

Protect the sensitive input

Retain the intended ground-current CT arrangement and wiring. Use twisted-pair cabling for the zero-sequence CT as recommended.

Prove the restored protection

Check relay diagnostics and measured values, then perform the approved injection and functional tests before returning the protection scheme to service.

Technical notes

Module identity: The 8M option provides sensitive-ground 4CT/4VT inputs with enhanced diagnostics. Match the complete UR8MH label and horizontal assembly to the host relay order code and slot.

CT and VT connections: Use the correct 1 A or 5 A current-input terminals for the connected CT secondary. Preserve the approved phase, ground and voltage wiring; automatic input shorting is not permission for live maintenance.

Technical reference: GE Grid Solutions G60 Generator Protection System Instruction Manual, 1601-0110-AF2 (GEK-131001A), version 7.6x. UR replacement-module and CT/VT guidance applies within the confirmed host configuration.

FAQ View All FAQ

  • What input arrangement does GE UR8MH provide?
    The 8M option is a sensitive-ground CT/VT module with four current inputs, four voltage inputs and enhanced diagnostics. The complete offered model is UR8MH.
  • How does the UR8MH sensitive ground input differ from a standard input?
    Its ground-current input is ten times more sensitive than the standard CT/VT ground input. The phase CT and phase VT inputs retain the regular module characteristics.
  • Can UR8MH be connected to both 1 A and 5 A CTs?
    The UR CT input arrangement supports 1 A and 5 A secondaries through the appropriate terminals. The connection must match the connected CT secondary rating and the host configuration.
  • Does UR8MH define the complete relay protection capability?
    No. It supplies CT/VT input hardware. Protection elements, communications, outputs and other functions depend on the complete host relay model, firmware, options and settings.
  • How are the UR8MH phase and single-phase channels organized?
    Channels 1/5 are phase A, 2/6 phase B and 3/7 phase C. Channels 4/8 are ground current IG or auxiliary voltage VX according to the installed input group.
  • What happens if UR8MH CT/VT hardware diagnostics detect a failure?
    Enhanced diagnostics can detect CT/VT hardware failure and take the host relay out of service. Investigate the relay self-test indication using its applicable maintenance instructions.
  • Does automatic CT shorting permit live replacement of UR8MH?
    No. The current inputs include automatic shorting on withdrawal, but this does not replace the approved CT shorting, isolation and relay maintenance procedure.
  • What determines UR8MH replacement compatibility?
    Compare the complete UR8MH identity, host relay order code, horizontal assembly, slot, terminal arrangement and supported hardware revision. Not every UR replacement module applies to every UR relay.
