Technical description

Introduction

This part of the manual describes the protection functions,
provides a few application examples and contains technical
data. This part of the manual also includes the operating
instructions.
Mounting and Commissioning Instructions are provided in a
separate mounting and commissioning manual
(VMMC.EN0xx).

Application

The versatile basic protection functions, the wide variety of
additional functions and several available communication
protocols render the overcurrent and earthfault relay VAMP
140 an ideal protection relay for power plants and substations
as well as for industry, marine and off-shore applications.
The modern technology in association with an extensive self-
supervision system and a reliable construction ensures an
extremely high availability for the VAMP 140 protection relay.
The relay is used for overcurrent and earthfault feeder
protection. The relay can also be used in other applications
where a single-, two- or three-phase protection relay is needed.
