ABB CM-UFD.M33

• The ABB CM-UFD.M33 is a multifunctioning grid
  feeding monitoring relay. It trips the section
  switch that is connected between the distributed
  generation and the public grid allowing the
  distributed generation to disconnect in case of
  problems (e.g. unstable grid), faults, or grid
  maintenance. The device provides different
  monitoring services to detect 10-minutes average
  overvoltage, real time over- and under-voltage as
  well as over- and under-frequency. Additionally,
  monitoring of vector shift and ROCOF (rate of
  change of frequency) can be configured to trip
  the generation in a case of loss of mains.

ABB CM-UFD.M33 Characteristics

• Monitoring of voltage and frequency in
  single-phase and three-phase mains (2-wire,
  3-wire or 4-wire AC systems)
• Over- and under-voltage, 10-minutes average
  value as well as over- and under-frequency
  monitoring
• Two-level threshold settings for
  over-/under-voltage and over-/under-frequency
• ROCOF monitoring and vector shift detection are
  configurable
• Interrupted neutral detection
• Default settings in accordance with Great
  Britain Engineering Recommendations G59/3 and
  G83/2

ABB CM-UFD.M33 Characteristics

• True RMS measuring principle
• All threshold values and tripping delays are
  adjustable
• Error memory for up to 99 entries (incl. cause
  of error, measured value, relative timestamp)
• Password setting protection
• 3 control inputs (e.g. for feedback signal,
  remote trip)
• 3 c/o (SPDT) contacts
• Multiline, backlit LCD display

ABB CM-UFD.M33 Application

• The ABB CM-UFD.M33 is a grid feeding monitoring
  relay that monitors the voltage and the frequency
  of the public low or medium voltage grid.
  Whenever measured values are not within the range
  of adjusted threshold values, the ABB CM-UFD.M33
  causes the section switch to trip (consisting of
  1 or 2 switching devices according to the
  applicable standard). This tripping disconnects
  the power generation of systems such as
  photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, and
  block-type thermal power stations from the grid.
  The fault is indicated by a LED and the
  corresponding plain text failure message is
  displayed.

ComAp MainsPro 

• The ComAp MainsPro solar protection relay is used
  for grid-tie applications, and provides
  anti-islanding protection as required by
  Distribution Network Service Providers for solar
  over 30 kW. It can be used with any embedded
  generator systems such as gen sets,
  co-generation, or renewable energy sources
  including photovoltaic plants or wind turbines.
  The ComAp MainsPro grants adjustable voltage,
  frequency, and loss of mains functions to
  safeguard the distribution network and the
  generators.
• With ComAp MainsPro, no special knowledge is
  needed for the installation process and no
  additional units are required. This makes it an
  optimal solution for both untrained personnel and
  professionals. The unit is designed to comply
  completely with Utilities connection
  requirements and statutory codes, offering a high
  level of protection and safety when working in
  parallel to the mains.
