MFR 3

Woodward's MFR 3 Multi function Relay incorporates functions and features for multiple application with up to 14 generators, each with a maximum individual rating of 16MW. Whether isolated or in parallel with the utility this device was designed for generators and switchgear equipment that require independent protection.
The MFR 3 digitally measures true RMS values ensuring measurement accuracy - maintaining integrity against harmonics, transients or power surges. Front panel push-buttons allow direct control of power circuit breakers, setpoint values, and configuration of the unit.
The MFR 3 is available for one (MFR 31) or two (MFR 32) circuit breakers.
For utility parallel applications the combined mains and generator breaker protection offer a very compact solution. In addition to protection the MFR 3 offers frequency, voltage, real power and re-active power control allowing load/var sharing.
