ABB FEEDER PROTECTION RELAY REF615 ANSI NUMERICAL RELAY

ABB REF615 ANSI Feeder Protection relay : Reliability, security, and dependability with Relion.

The REF615 is a dedicated feeder relay perfectly aligned for the protection, control, measurement, and supervision of utility substations and industrial power systems.

REF615 is a member of ABB’s Relion family and a part of its 615 protection and control product series. The 615 series ANSI are characterized by their compactness and withdrawable design. Engineered from the ground up, the 615 series has been designed to unleash the full potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability of substation automation devices.

REF615 ANSI Feeder Protection Relay Application

The REF615 provides main protection for overhead lines, cable feeders, and busbar systems of distribution substations. It can be applied for protection and control of grounded and ungrounded distribution systems. Flexible order coding allows for choosing current-only or current-and-voltage configurations to best fit your distribution feeder application needs.

Protection and control

The REF615 is the most powerful, advanced and simplest feeder protection relay in its class, perfectly offering time and instantaneous overcurrent, negative sequence overcurrent, phase discontinuity, breaker failure, thermal overload, and voltage metering and protection. The relay also features optional high impedance fault (HIZ) protection for grounded and ungrounded distribution systems. Also, the relay incorporates a flexible three-phase multi-shot auto-reclose
