Feeder protection relay
REF610 IEC ABB Oy Distribution Automation

REF610 is a feeder IED for protection, measuring and supervision of utility and industrial distribution power systems. REF610 is a member of ABB's Relion® product family and part of its 610 product series. The series includes IEDs for feeder protection, motor protection and general system voltage supervision. The plug-in design facilitates the commissioning of the switchgear and enables fast and safe insertion and withdrawal of IED plug-in units.
REF610 is primarily intended for the protection of incoming and outgoing feeders in distribution substations of resistance earthed and solidly earthed power systems. REF610 is suitable for employment in marine and off-shore environments. Supplied with an optional arc protection function REF610 also provides fast substation busbar arc-fault protection. REF610s are also used for back-up protection of motors, transformers and generators to increase protection redundancy in critical utility and industrial applications.

The 610 series IEDs have been certificated for marine and off-shore use by Det Norske Veritas (DNV).

REF610 supports IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus®, Profibus, DNP3, SPA and LON.
