Introduction
The GE 469-P5-HI-A20-E is a versatile, digital motor management relay designed for comprehensive protection, control, and monitoring of medium-voltage and critical low-voltage motors. Part of GE’s Multilin 469 series, it integrates advanced protection functions, diagnostics, and communication capabilities into a robust package suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its high-resolution display and intuitive interface simplify setup and operation.
Key Features:
- Advanced Motor Protection: Thermal overload (RTD/bi-metallic modeling), locked rotor, short-circuit, ground fault, phase imbalance, under/over voltage, under/over frequency, stall, jam, loss of load.
- Monitoring & Diagnostics: Real-time monitoring of currents, voltages, power, energy, temperatures (via RTDs), status. Event recording (sequence of events – SOE) with time-stamping. Comprehensive diagnostic capabilities.
- Control Functions: Start/stop control, restart inhibit, start supervision, undervoltage restart blocking.
- Communication: Built-in Modbus RTU (RS-485) for integration into SCADA, DCS, or PLC systems.
- User Interface: High-resolution backlit LCD display with intuitive menu navigation and status LEDs.
- Robust Design: Engineered for harsh industrial environments (high EMI, temperature, humidity).
Primary Functions / Role:
- Protect: Prevent motor damage from electrical faults, thermal stress, and abnormal operating conditions.
- Control: Automate motor start/stop sequences and provide supervision.
- Monitor: Provide real-time operational data (currents, voltages, power, status, temperatures).
- Diagnose: Record events, identify developing problems, and aid in troubleshooting.
- Communicate: Integrate motor data into plant control and monitoring systems.
Typical Applications & Industries:
- Industries: Oil & Gas (Pumps, Compressors), Petrochemical/Chemical (Agitators, Conveyors), Mining (Crushers, Fans), Power Generation (Boiler Feed Pumps, ID/FD Fans), Water/Wastewater (Pumps), Pulp & Paper, Manufacturing.
- Equipment: Medium Voltage Motors (Typical), Critical Low Voltage Motors, Pumps, Fans, Compressors, Conveyors, Crushers, Mixers.

|
P5 : Phase CT = 5A Nominal Input. HI : Human Interface (Display & Keypad). A20 : Specific hardware/software feature set level within 469 series (GE internal designation). E : Voltage Rating/Suffix (Often indicates 120V AC or universal AC/DC range – Must verify exact voltage from datasheet/model code decoder). |
Important Notes:
- Specific Voltage: The
-E
suffix usually indicates an AC/DC voltage range like 100-240V AC/DC or 110-240V AC/DC, but this is critical to confirm using the official GE model code decoder or datasheet for the exact auxiliary power requirement of the specific469-P5-HI-A20-E
unit. - Detailed Specifications: The table provides a summary. For full, precise specifications (exact number of I/O, full voltage/current ranges, accuracy, communication module details, certification listings), always consult the official GE Multilin 469 Series Product Manual and the specific model’s datasheet.
