On long lines, tiny faults can trigger big failure

Aging relays misjudge zones, miss evolving faults, struggle with swings, and lose selectivity on weak networks. One wrong trip can ripple across the grid.

Unstable zone reach

Slow weak-fault detection

No swing discrimination

Breaker supervision gaps

Limited recording depth

Meet MiCOM P44x — precision distance protection for modern grids

The MiCOM P44x family (P442 / P444) delivers full-scheme distance protection with six configurable zones, powerful quadrilateral characteristics and fast ground/phase discrimination. It secures overhead lines, cables, tapped feeders and series-compensated or parallel circuits with robust backup: overcurrent, earth fault, voltage, frequency, power swing blocking and breaker-fail logic. With advanced PSL, deep recording, and high-availability comms, it fits anywhere distance protection must be reliable, selective and fast.
