Whether you’re managing substations, maintaining MCC panels, or integrating renewable energy sources, NewElec gives you the tools to maintain control, safety, and uptime.

 

Why Wait to Automate™

NewElec is leading innovation in the utility sector with our “Why Wait to Automate™” initiative. Our intelligent 32 NewCode Relays offer full automation readiness and PLC integration for smart infrastructure. With Modbus-TCP, Ethernet-IP, Profinet, Profibus, and soon-to-be-available Goose IEC61850, our relays support fast, secure, and scalable data communication between field devices and SCADA/PLC platforms.
From solar grid feed-in relays to Bluetooth-enabled smart relay diagnostics, we’re helping utility providers reduce risks, control costs, and accelerate modernisation. Our KG or KH Relays allow for wireless configuration setup and monitoring, ensuring safety in high-voltage panels by removing the need for direct physical interaction.

What kinds of systems and equipment does NewElec’s protection apply to in electrical distribution networks?

Our relays serve protection needs across substations, MV panels, distribution feeders, switchgear, motor control centres (MCCs), and transformer circuits.

Which fault conditions do the relays detect and respond to?

They include overload, phase loss / single phasing, reverse power, start inhibit, earth leakage / insulation faults, locked rotor, breaker failure, and underload conditions.

Can your relays integrate into SCADA, PLC, or smart grid systems?

Yes. The relays support Modbus-TCP, Ethernet-IP, Profinet, Profibus, and are being prepared for IEC 61850 integration, allowing communication with SCADA, PLCs, and modern automation platforms.

How do NewElec relays help reduce unplanned outages in power distribution networks?

By providing fast and precise fault detection, isolating faults before they cascade, offering breaker failure monitoring, and exporting event/fault logs, the relays improve reliability and uptime.

Are the relays robust enough for local conditions, including voltage fluctuation, harmonics, and harsh environments?

Yes. They’re engineered for variable grid conditions, harmonic distortion, temperature swings, and environmental stress. They include filtering, smart trip logic, and durable hardware suited for distribution networks.
