Locate Replacement Protective Relay

Locate Replacement Protective Relay

Locate Replacement Protective Relay

(OP)
I need help locating a replacement Protective Relay.  The original is manufactured by GEC (England) and is a type VAJ, 125 VDC Tripping Relay.

GEC does not appear to still exist, or at least not in North America.  Could anyone suggest a replacement relay or point me to the web site of a manufacturer of Protective Realys with an online catalog.

Thanks

I think Alstom in Europe still do the Midos series MVAJ relay.

Alstom used to be GEC-Alsthom, who in turn were GEC Relays, who mnanufactured your VAJ relay.

RE: Locate Replacement Protective Relay

Astom relays are still in use. Alternatives are Siemens, ABB, GE Multilin

RE: Locate Replacement Protective Relay

We have some VAJZ13AF2241BA relays.  Are these even close?

RE: Locate Replacement Protective Relay

Suggestion: Supposed to be.

RE: Locate Replacement Protective Relay

suggest look at the RXMVB2 or 4 relays from ABB. they are possible equivalents. Depends a bit on the type of VAJ or MVAJ you have installed.

RE: Locate Replacement Protective Relay

I should have added this...
look at www.abb.com/substationautomation
pick the tab 'transmission products'
Once there, highlight COMBIFLEX.
you will find the RXMVB relays on the COMBIFLEX home page.
