ABB REF615 HBFFAEAGNDA1ABA11G is a digital feeder protection and control device. It is an integrated unit dedicated to the protection, control, and monitoring of feeders (cables, overhead lines) in utility and industrial distribution systems. It integrates five core capabilities: accurate fault protection, real-time parameter measurement and control, remote communication, event recording, and adaptive protection schemes. As a key component of ABB medium‑voltage distribution automation solutions, it is widely used in substations, industrial plants, distribution networks, renewable energy power stations, and other scenarios. It is suitable for radial, loop, and mesh distribution networks (including distributed generation applications), provides comprehensive protection for overhead lines and cable feeders, effectively prevents fault escalation, and ensures the stability, reliability, and efficient operation of distribution systems.
This device mainly performs core protection tasks for feeders, including overcurrent, short‑circuit, and earth‑fault protection. It simultaneously monitors electrical parameters such as current, voltage, and power in real time. It features fault location, event recording, and alarm functions, and can automatically adjust protection parameters according to distribution system operating conditions to achieve adaptive protection, ensuring sensitivity and selectivity. It is compatible with the ABB Relion® product ecosystem, supports mainstream communication protocols such as IEC 61850, and can seamlessly connect to upper‑level monitoring systems and substation automation systems. It is compatible with conventional current/voltage transformers, Rogowski coils, and other sensors, complying with international power industry standards to ensure compliance and long‑term operational reliability in various distribution applications.
It features a compact industrial design that balances durability and ease of maintenance. A plug‑and‑pull structure enables fast installation and testing. It is equipped with a large LCD screen displaying single‑line diagrams, with a simple and intuitive human‑machine interface (HMI) for easy operation, supporting local parameter setting and fault query. The enclosure uses industrial‑grade protective materials, suitable for complex environments such as power equipment rooms and outdoor distribution installations. It has excellent electromagnetic interference immunity, dustproof and moisture‑proof performance, and can operate stably in harsh industrial environments.
