Overview
REF615 is a dedicated feeder IED (intelligent electronic device) designed for the
protection, control, measurement and supervision of utility substations and
industrial power systems including radial, looped and meshed distribution networks
with or without distributed power generation. REF615 is a member of ABB’s
Relion® product family and part of its 615 protection and control product series.
The 615 series IEDs are characterized by their compactness and withdrawable-unit
design.
Re-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
between substation automation devices.
The IED provides main protection for overhead lines and cable feeders in
distribution networks. The IED is also used as back-up protection in applications,
where an independent and redundant protection system is required.
Depending on the chosen standard configuration, the IED is adapted for the
protection of overhead line and cable feeders in isolated neutral, resistance earthed,
compensated and solidly earthed networks. Once the standard configuration IED
has been given the application-specific settings, it can directly be put into service.
The 615 series IEDs support a range of communication protocols including IEC
61850 with GOOSE messaging, IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus® and DNP3.
