Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following modules are functionally compatible or serve as direct/near-direct replacements for the GE UR8FV, depending on your chassis slot and firmware version:
- GE UR8FH — Same UR Series family, alternative I/O configuration
- GE UR8FF — UR Series plug-in module, compatible slot form factor
- GE UR8FE — UR Series module, verify firmware compatibility before substitution
- GE UR8FB — Earlier revision, functionally similar in most UR chassis
- GE UR6FV — 6-slot chassis variant equivalent
- GE UR7FV — 7-slot chassis variant equivalent
⚠ Always verify slot position, firmware version, and chassis model before substituting modules. Contact Konmask.com for a free compatibility check.

System Compatibility
The UR8FV module is designed exclusively for GE Multilin UR Series relay chassis. It is not cross-compatible with non-UR platforms such as SEL, ABB REL, Siemens SIPROTEC, or Schneider MiCOM without a full relay replacement. Within the UR platform, compatibility depends on:
- Chassis model (C30 / C60 / D60 / F60 / T60, etc.)
- Slot position (slots 1–8 depending on chassis size)
- Firmware version (confirm via EnerVista UR Setup)
- Hardware revision suffix (FV, FH, FF, etc.)
Selection Guide
| Requirement | Recommended Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Direct OEM replacement | GE UR8FV | Exact match, no reconfiguration needed |
| Alternative I/O layout | GE UR8FH / UR8FF | Verify slot and firmware |
| 6-slot chassis | GE UR6FV | Same FV revision, 6-slot form |
| 7-slot chassis | GE UR7FV | Same FV revision, 7-slot form |
| Budget / refurbished | GE UR8FB (tested) | Earlier revision, confirm compatibility |

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the GE UR8FV replace a UR8FH directly?
A: In most cases yes, if the slot position and chassis model match. However, the I/O configuration may differ — always verify with EnerVista UR Setup before installation.
Q: Is the UR8FV compatible with the GE C60 relay?
A: Yes, the UR8FV is compatible with the C60 chassis, subject to slot availability and firmware version alignment.
Q: Do you supply the UR8FV with a warranty?
A: Yes. New OEM units carry the standard GE warranty. Certified refurbished units carry a 12-month Konmask warranty.
Q: Can I use a UR8FV in a non-GE relay system?
A: No. The UR8FV is proprietary to the GE Multilin UR Series chassis and is not compatible with third-party relay platforms.
Q: What is the difference between UR8FV and UR8FF?
A: The suffix denotes the hardware revision and I/O type. FV and FF may have different analog/digital I/O counts. Contact us for a detailed datasheet comparison.
