Directional Overcurrent Relay for MiCOM P138 Railway Protection

Railway protection that never blinks

MiCOM P138 delivers fast, selective overcurrent and voltage protection designed for railway substations — built to secure feeders, transformers, and catenary systems across every voltage band.

In rail networks, even seconds feel like miles

Outdated relays struggle with multi-voltage grids, high inrush currents, dead-tank transformers, and demanding feeder loads. The result? Slow trips, unsafe switching, and costly downtime that ripples across the entire route.

Slow feeder trips

No multi-voltage support

Unsafe switchgear control

Weak dead-tank detection

Poor substation visibility

Meet MiCOM P138 — made for rail

MiCOM P138 is a railway-grade overcurrent and voltage protection relay engineered for 16.7, 25, 50, and 60 Hz systems. It secures catenary feeders, dead-tank transformers, busbars, and upstream substations with advanced logic, high-speed tripping, and built-in switchgear control. Modular, rugged, and protocol-rich — it’s built for rail where reliability is non-negotiable.

Protection shaped for rail

From dead-tank detection to synchronism check, P138 keeps critical rail power safe, stable, and ready.

Accurate multi-frequency protection

Handles 16.7/25/50/60 Hz without external converters.

Dead-tank transformer safety

Residual current protection prevents hidden failures

High-speed feeder clearing

DTOC, IDMT, and high-set stages trip before faults propagate.

Integrated switchgear control

Operate breakers, isolators, and feeders directly from the relay.

Auto-reclose that restores quickly

Keeps catenary systems energised after transient faults.

Voltage & frequency stability

Over/under-voltage and frequency protection for grid compliance.

Built for precision and endurance.

Every module engineered for railway-grade accuracy.
