The D60 is suitable for protecting transmission lines and cables including lines equipped with series compensation. The D60 supports dual-breaker applications and can be applied in single-pole or three-pole tripping applications. The D60 is applicable to different teleprotection schemes and includes inter-relay protection communications via direct fiber as well as different interfaces. The D60 also provides synchrophasor measurement over Ethernet per IEEE C37.118.
