Features:
- Interface Between Primary Substation Equipment and Protective Relay Logic Processor
- High-Density Contact Monitoring with Millisecond Precision Signal Capture
- Deployment in Busbar Protection and Breaker Management Schemes
The General Electric UR4DH operates as a high-performance digital Input/Output (I/O) module in the Multilin UR Series, providing high-density contact monitoring and control for power system protection. It continuously processes status signals from primary substation equipment and delivers them to the protective relay's logic processor with millisecond-level accuracy. The UR4DH handles a dense configuration of contact inputs, allowing a single relay to manage multiple circuit breaker positions, disconnect switch statuses, and external alarm contacts without requiring additional external hardware. Seamless signal processing is standard with the UR4DH, and its fast digital inputs effectively resolve contact bounce and electrical noise interference issues.
The UR4DH provides essential I/O functions critical to the protection scheme, directly affecting the proper operation of the overall relay system. One or more UR4DH modules may be deployed depending on the required input density and monitoring scope. The UR4DH occupies a dedicated slot within the UR Series rack architecture and integrates seamlessly with other Multilin UR Series modules.
For complex substation automation applications, the UR4DH handles the "a" and "b" auxiliary contacts of high-voltage circuit breakers to confirm their open or closed state. In addition to standard contact monitoring, the UR4DH performs rapid execution of control commands in Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) or Wide Area Monitoring systems. Using this method, the UR4DH ensures that critical output commands are delivered reliably under extreme environmental conditions, including high-electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments. If the system detects signal anomalies or noise interference, the UR4DH filters these disturbances to prevent false trips or failure to operate during genuine electrical faults.
The UR4DH General Electric Digital I/O Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Breaker Control: This UR4DH module is used to monitor "a" and "b" auxiliary contacts and provide trip/close commands to high-voltage circuit breakers.
- Status Monitoring: It tracks the positions of disconnect switches and earth switches across an entire bay.
- Load Shedding: In industrial plants, the UR4DH handles the rapid execution of load-shedding commands to prevent total system collapse during a frequency drop.
- Contact Monitoring: The UR4DH performs continuous supervision of the output circuitry to detect "open" or "short" conditions in the control loop before a command is even sent.
- Signal Filtering: It utilizes advanced digital filtering to eliminate "contact bounce" and electrical noise, which prevents the relay from processing false status changes during high-EMI events like lightning strikes or switching surges.
- Sequence of Events (SOE): This UR4DH module timestamps every state change with millisecond precision, allowing engineers to perform post-fault analysis to determine the exact order of operations during a blackout.
- Plug-and-Play Slot Design: The UR4DH slides into any available universal slot (typically slots F through M) of a UR-series chassis, allowing for field upgrades without replacing the entire protection system.
- EnerVista Software: Integration is managed via the EnerVista UR Setup tool, which solves the complexity of manual I/O mapping by providing a graphical interface for logic programming and GOOSE messaging (IEC 61850).
- Terminal Wiring: It features a removable, hinged terminal block that simplifies the wiring process and allows for the module to be replaced without disconnecting individual wires from the field.
