Overview
The Crompton Instruments 256‑PAS Power Relay is part of the 250 Series Protector Trip Relays, specifically engineered for reverse power protection in AC generators connected in parallel with other generators or the mains supply.
When reverse power—power flowing into the generator instead of out—exceeds a user-set threshold, the relay trips after an adjustable delay, safeguarding the generator from motoring damage.
This relay is widely applied in marine, industrial, and power generation environments where generator synchronization and protection are critical.
