Description
GE 369-HI-0-0-0-0 Motor Management Relay
The GE Multilin 369-HI-0-0-0-0 is a 369 Motor Management Relay configured with HI control power and the base feature set. According to GE’s official ordering guide, this configuration has no built-in RTD option, no metering/backspin option, no fiber-optic port, no optional protocol interface, no harsh-environment option, and the basic faceplate rather than the enhanced diagnostics option.

GE 369-HI-0-0-0-0
Configuration Breakdown
369 — GE Multilin 369 Motor Management Relay.
HI — High-range control-power version. GE’s ordering information specifies 50–300 VDC / 60–265 VAC in the ordering table, while the detailed technical specification gives the nominal input ranges as 110–250 VDC and 100–240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. For procurement, the exact nameplate and applicable revision should be checked.
0 — No 12-RTD option.
0 — No metering or backspin option.
0 — No fiber-optic option.
0 — No optional protocol interface.
0 — No harsh-environment option.
The official manual notes that the 369 uses a non-drawout construction and that options installed at manufacture cannot simply be assumed to be field-upgradable; required hardware must have been installed from the factory.
Protection and Motor Management Functions
Even in the base configuration, the 369 platform provides digital motor protection and monitoring for three-phase motors and associated mechanical systems. Functions documented by GE include overload, short-circuit, ground fault, current unbalance, undercurrent, acceleration monitoring, mechanical jam, thermal-capacity protection, start inhibition, starter failure, lockout, and other motor protection functions.
Because 369-HI-0-0-0-0 has no M, B, or R option, voltage/power metering, backspin detection, and built-in RTD temperature monitoring are not included in this particular order configuration.
Replacement and Compatibility Notes
For a replacement application, the complete order code should be matched rather than purchasing a generic “369.” GE documents multiple hardware options within the family, and the required hardware must be present for an option to function.
Particular attention should be given to:
- HI control-power range
- Phase CT secondary rating and CT ratio
- Ground CT arrangement
- Firmware revision
- Communication requirements
- Whether the installed system actually requires RTDs, metering, backspin, fiber, or an optional protocol
- Basic versus enhanced faceplate configuration
The 369 supports firmware updates through flash memory, and GE’s resource library currently lists firmware documentation/software for the product family.
Lifecycle Status
GE’s official end-of-manufacturing notice states that manufacturing and sale of the 369 and accessories were discontinued on May 27, 2022, with a last-order date of January 16, 2024. GE lists Multilin 859 as the alternative product in that notice.
For plants still operating 369 relays, remaining new-old-stock and surplus inventory can therefore be relevant for maintaining installed systems. The original GE notice also states that, after the last-order date, repair service follows for products no longer under warranty subject to material availability, rather than advanced replacement with a new product.
Typical Applications
The GE 369 is intended for motor protection and management applications such as:
Medium- and large-motor protection: protection of three-phase motors against overload, short circuit, ground fault, current unbalance, and abnormal starting conditions.
Motor control and monitoring: relay outputs, digital inputs, current monitoring, event recording, and communications for integration with plant control or SCADA systems.
Legacy protection-system replacement: replacement of an installed 369 unit where the exact hardware and electrical configuration must be preserved.
FAQ
What is GE 369-HI-0-0-0-0?
It is a GE Multilin 369 Motor Management Relay in the HI-control-power base configuration with the listed optional features set to zero.
Does this version have RTD inputs?
No. The R option is set to 0, meaning the relay does not have the optional built-in 12-RTD hardware.
Does it include metering?
No. The M/B position is 0, so the optional metering package and backspin detection are not included.
What control voltage does the HI version use?
The detailed GE specification gives 110–250 VDC nominal or 100–240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The ordering table gives the broader design range as 50–300 VDC / 60–265 VAC.
Is the GE 369 still manufactured?
No. GE officially announced discontinuation of manufacture and sale in 2022, with the last-order date of January 16, 2024.
Is 369-HI-0-0-0-0 a drawout relay?
No. GE states that the 369 is available in a non-drawout version only.
