Product Overview

GE Multilin SR489-P5-LO-A20-E is a microprocessor-based generator management relay within the 489 series, built for comprehensive protection, metering, monitoring and control of synchronous and induction generators in small-to-medium power generation systems.

Model suffix breakdown:

• SR489: Generator management relay series
• P5: 5 Amp phase CT secondary input
• LO: Low auxiliary control power supply (20–60V DC / 20–48V AC, 48–62Hz)
• A20: Four programmable 4–20 mA analog output channels
• E: Enhanced large LCD front panel with improved visibility and operation

This relay integrates stator differential, 100% stator ground fault, loss of excitation, reverse power, over/under voltage, over/under frequency, negative sequence and overcurrent protection. It supports RTD temperature monitoring, fault oscillography, event logging and serial communication for SCADA/DCS integration. GE has discontinued the entire SR489 relay family. We supply surplus and fully refurbished SR489-P5-LO-A20-E spare parts for legacy generator control cabinet maintenance, avoiding costly full system retrofit.

FAQ

Q1: What does -P5-LO-A20-E suffix mean?

A: P5=5A CT secondary; LO=low auxiliary control power (20–60VDC / 20–48VAC); A20=four 4–20mA analog outputs; E=enhanced large LCD display.

Q2: Is discontinued?

A: Yes, GE Multilin has discontinued the 489 generator relay series. We supply surplus and fully tested replacement units for legacy generator protection systems maintenance.

Q3: What is td ?

A: SR489-P5-LO-A20 uses standard basic LCD; SR489-P5-LO-A20-E comes with upgraded enhanced large LCD display for better readability in control rooms.

Q4: What is the difference between SR489 LO and HI power options?

A: LO = low auxiliary power (20–60VDC / 20–48VAC); HI = high wide-range control power (70–265VAC /90–300VDC). LO is suitable for battery-powered low voltage control panels.

Q5: What communis support?

A: Dual RS485 and RS232 ports, Modbus RTU, DNP3.0, plus IRIG-B time synchronization for accurate event timestamping.
