In many overseas substations, protection schemes demand very fast breaker operation. When distance, differential, or busbar protection trips are issued, the auxiliary relay driving the breaker must operate in only a few milliseconds to coordinate with protection logic and prevent fault escalation.
The GRUS-11H fast trip relay is engineered for these high-speed applications. It ensures reliable breaker tripping with an operating time ≤5 ms and return ≤15 ms, while providing redundant output options to meet the requirements of EPCs and utilities worldwide.
Core Features
Ultra-fast operation: trip in ≤5 ms, reset in ≤15 ms, supporting critical protection functions.
Dual independent circuits: one housing can contain two coils, each with 4×c/o outputs—ideal for main/backup protection or dual-channel schemes.
Clear panel indication: ACT1/ACT2 LEDs display the operating status of each coil for accurate SOE (Sequence of Events) logging.
Coil options: available for 110 / 125 / 220 VDC.
Robust contact capacity: designed for breaker trip duty with tested EMC and environmental resilience.
Standards compliance: type-tested to IEC 60255 (relay requirements), IEC 61000 (EMC).
CE certified: approved for international projects and tender submissions.
Application Example: Southeast Asia 115 kV Booster Station


Configuration: GRUS-11H-8R/110 VDC deployed to drive fast trip circuits.
Scheme: one coil connected to the main protection device, the second coil to backup protection.
Result: ensured redundant tripping capability with consistent sub-5 ms operation, meeting EPC and utility acceptance criteria.
Engineering Value
Protection coordination: ensures high-speed relays do not become a bottleneck in critical protection schemes.
Redundancy built-in: dual-coil design allows parallel handling of main and backup exits, reducing risk of single-point failure.
Operational clarity: separate indicators simplify commissioning and fault recording.
International fit: CE certification and adherence to IEC testing guarantee easy acceptance across global projects.

In demanding protection schemes where every millisecond matters, the GRUS-11H fast trip relay provides reliable and internationally compliant breaker drive capability. Its fast operation, dual-circuit redundancy, and global acceptance make it a practical choice for EPCs integrating medium- and high-voltage substations overseas.
Working on substations or plants where high-speed protection trips are required? Ensure your breakers are driven by fast trip relays that meet IEC standards and CE requirements.
Request datasheets and IEC/CE certificates.
Consult with ODES engineers to configure single or dual-coil schemes for your project.
Deliver protection performance your EPC partners and utilities can trust.
