GE UR9NH CPU Module – Central Processing Unit for Power System Protection | GE Multilin UR Series
Engineering Background
The GE Multilin UR Series is GE Grid Solutions’ flagship platform for numerical protection, control, and monitoring of electrical power systems. Deployed across transmission substations, generation facilities, and industrial switchgear worldwide, the UR platform is recognized for its modular architecture, deterministic real-time processing, and IEC 61850 compliance. The UR9NH is the central processing unit (CPU) module that serves as the computational core of the UR relay chassis, executing protection algorithms, managing inter-module communication, and interfacing with SCADA/DCS systems.
Product Positioning
The UR9NH CPU Module is engineered for procurement engineers and system integrators who require a verified, drop-in replacement or expansion processor for existing GE Multilin UR Series relay installations. It eliminates the need for full relay replacement, reducing capital expenditure and minimizing substation downtime during maintenance windows.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the UR Series chassis, the UR9NH CPU Module occupies the designated CPU slot and communicates with I/O modules (analog inputs, digital I/O, communication modules) via the chassis backplane bus. The CPU executes the protection logic engine at each power system cycle, processes analog measurements from CT/VT inputs, evaluates protection element pickup and trip conditions, and issues trip/close commands to output relays. Simultaneously, it manages front-panel HMI, event recording, oscillography capture, and all external communication sessions (IEC 61850 MMS server, DNP3 master/slave, Modbus RTU).

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the UR9NH compatible with all UR Series relay models?
A: The UR9NH is designed for specific UR platform chassis variants. Please confirm your relay model number (e.g., C60, D60, F60, G60, L90, T60) when inquiring to ensure slot and firmware compatibility.
Q: Can the firmware be upgraded after installation?
A: Yes. GE Multilin EnerVista UR Setup software supports firmware upgrades via the front Ethernet port. Konmask can advise on the appropriate firmware version for your application.
Q: What is the lead time for the UR9NH?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. For large quantities or specific firmware requirements, lead time is 2–4 weeks. Contact us for current stock status.
Q: Do you provide a test report or certificate of conformance?
A: Yes. A functional test report and certificate of conformance are available upon request for each unit shipped.
Q: What export documentation is provided?
A: Commercial invoice, packing list, and HS code documentation (HS 8537.10) are provided as standard. CITES, EUC, or end-user certificates available on request.
