Schneider Electric Easergy P5 Protection Relay redefines standards for electrical protection

New Easergy P5 protection relay engineered to be safe, secure, and reliable throughout its entire life cycle

Major step forward for customer safety, cyber security and reliability, providing next-generation protection and control standard for a businesses' critical assets

Unparalleled digital experience for greater operational efficiency

Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, announced the launch of its Easergy P5 protection relay. Powerful, flexible, and digital, the Easergy P5 sets the new benchmark for protection and control, providing the next-generation standard for businesses' critical assets and an unparalleled digital experience.

In the fast changing world of energy, customers expect reliability, safety, security, efficiency, and sustainability to answer to the new network challenges driven by new technologies, new regulations and new standards. Easergy P5 is the cornerstone of our new digitised electrical distribution, a dramatic step change for the industry, said Vincent Petit, SVP of energy automation at Schneider Electric.

At Schneider, with digital technologies like the new Easergy P5, we're taking the lead in delivering on those expectations, Petit continued. Today's distribution systems are becoming more and more decarbonised, digitised and decentralised. Consequently, safety, reliability, security, efficiency and sustainability are becoming increasingly critical and complex to realise. As we're pioneering the paradigm shift toward more real-time and open integration over the full product life cycle, the new Easergy P5 builds upon decades of experience by introducing modern, digital technologies that help secure electrical installations and bring them into the 21st century.

A major step forward for safety, cyber security, and reliability

Proven protection and control functions give the new Easergy P5 a rock-solid foundation and ensure first-class performance.

Safe operation is fully aligned with the latest safety standards while users can operate their device in safe conditions with a new mobile companion application.

Cyber security, in full compliance with IEC 61351, helps protect installations with security based on users' job functions.

For peace-of-mind, P5 benefits from Easergy Protection, our new 10 year warranty extension programme, enabled through a simple registration process.* The state-of-the-art breaker control also helps users prevent and solve problems quickly, and the Easergy P5's modern, digital features help businesses meet their safety, security and reliability requirements, regardless of industry.

An unparalleled digital experience for greater operational efficiency

The latest online tools make it easy to select, configure, and order, meaning that users can enjoy much faster delivery, especially on standard configuration

Data from the Easergy P5 can be securely stored in a cloud-based repository and made available thoughout the lifetime of the installation. Access is granted through a simple initial registration

The powerful Easergy Pro configuration software is designed to be easy for non-expert users to use, while offering advanced functions to satisfy advanced needs

The Easergy SmartApp mobile companion application can be used on smartphones and tablets and allows easy and safer operation without standing in front of a circuit breaker. It also provides a simple way to get support from Schneider Electric experts, meaning quicker power recovery during unexpected downtime

Sustainability and future-ready through openess and consistency

The Easergy P5:

Is IEC 61850 native and designed to be fully interoperable with maximum use of the latest communication standards

Enables the integration of network analytics, real-time control and operations into all types of electrical distribution networks as part of a complete MV/LV digital ecosystem

Enables sustainable management of its life cycle through embedded asset performance and condition monitoring

Is designed for simple, on-site scalability with downloadable firmware upgrades available - keeping it up to date and preserving the original installation investment

One powerful, flexible, digital range

The Easergy P5 protection relay is part of the new Easergy product range from Schneider Electric, which also includes the Easergy T300, an innovative feeder automation device
