ABB PROTECTION AND CONTROL REX640 NUMERICAL RELAY

Protection and control REX640 All-in-one protection for advanced power generation and distribution applications

REX640 is a powerful, all-in-one protection and control relay for advanced power generation and distribution applications. REX640 offers unmatched flexibility throughout its entire life cycle from ordering through testing and commissioning, to upgrading the functionality of its modular software and hardware to meet new application requirements. As a member of ABB’s Relion protection and control family of relays, REX640 further reinforces Relion’s position as the range of relays to rely on.

Complete application coverage with one device for optimal cost-effectiveness REX640 is the outcome of a long-standing evolution, building on ABB’s strong heritage of freely configurable multifunctional relays. The ability to cover the full range of utility and industrial applications and manage multiple applications simultaneously, with the same device, guarantees flexible, versatile and cost-efficient protection solutions.

REX640 has been designed to support the increasing digitalization of substations. REX640 thereby supports a variety of digital switchgear solutions and is suitable for both single and double-busbar applications. REX640 offers as many as 20 current and voltage measurement channels in total, supporting both conventional instrument transformers and sensors, not to mention the ability to receive four streams of sampled measured values (SMV) via IEC 61850-9-2 LE-based process bus communication.

As the newest member of ABB’s Relion® protection and control family of relays, REX640 further reinforces Relion’s position as the range of relays to rely on.

Protection and control REX640 makes protecting all your assets in advanced power generation and distribution applications easy. The fully modular design allows unequaled customization and modification flexibility, and easy adaptation to changing protection requirements throughout the relay life cycle.This is asset management at its best.
