Main Advantages of VIP400s and VIP410s
VIPs are part of a complete protection chain:
This protection chain cannot be separated and includes the dedicated current sensors, the VIP
protection relay and the Mitop trip unit.
The use of dedicated current sensors means the complete protection chain performance can be

dedicated to VIP operation are dual core type, which provide the power supply and the metering signal
separately.
