  • No nuisance trips
  • No need to calibrate devices
  • Significant savings in time to perform test (hours)
  • Insurance companies have endorsed the use of electronic systems for overspeed protection and testing
Many users of the ProTech® 203 are now eliminating the traditional need for doing an actual overspeed test of the turbine.
