Description

ABB LINE DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION AND CONTROL RED615 IEC NUMERICAL RELAY

Line differential protection and control RED615 ANSI IEC Numerical relay

Compact and versatile solution for utility and industrial power distribution systems RED615 is a phase-segregated, two-end, line differential protection and control relay for protection, control, measurement and supervision of overhead line and cable feeders in utility and industrial power distribution networks, including radial, looped and meshed distribution networks, with or without distributed generation. RED615 is also ideal for line differential applications with an in-zone transformer. RED615 relays communicate between substations either over a fiber-optic link or a galvanic pilot wire connection.

Compact and versatile solution for utility and industrial power distribution systems with integration of protection, control, monitoring and supervision in one relay.

Scope

Feeder protection including communicating two-end line differential

• Optional advanced and fast fault location of short circuits and earth faults
• Supports IEC 61850 Editions 1 and 2, including HSR and PRP, GOOSE messaging and IEC 61850-9-2 LE for less wiring and supervised communication
• IEEE 1588 V2 for high-accuracy time synchronization and maximum benefit of substation-level Ethernet communication
• Supports Modbus, and DNP3 and communication protocols

ABB Numerical relays

ABB Numerical relays are based on the use of microprocessors. A big difference between conventional electromechanical and static relays is how the relays are wired. Electromechanical and static relays have fixed wiring and the setting is manual. Numeric relays, on the other hand, are programmable relays where the characteristics and behavior can be programmed. Most numerical relays are also multifunctional.
