GE UR8CH 8-Channel CT/VT Input Module (Multilin UR Series)
Manufacturer: GE Multilin / Baker Hughes
Model: UR8CH
Series: Multilin UR (Universal Relay)
Type: 8-Channel CT/VT (Current/Voltage Transformer) Input Module
Function: Precision AC current/voltage sensing for power system protection & metering
1. Overview
The GE UR8CH is a **high‑precision 8‑channel CT/VT input module** for the GE Multilin UR series protection relays. It directly interfaces with 3–1 A/5 A phase CTs and 1/5 A ground CTs, capturing AC current and voltage signals for accurate metering, fault detection, and protective relaying. Hot‑swappable and built for high noise immunity, it ensures reliable performance in harsh substation environments.
