Description

ABB REM610

Technical Specifications:

  • Motor Voltage: Up to 7.2 kV.
  • Motor Power: Up to 10 MW (depending on CT ratings).
  • Power Supply: 24-48 V DC or 110-230 V AC/DC.
  • Communication: Supports IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus, Profibus, SPA, and LON.
  • Standards: IEC 60255, IEEE C37.90.

Functional Features:

  • Advanced Protection: Thermal overload (49), short-circuit (50/51), earth-fault (50N/51N), stall (48), unbalance (46), and loss-of-phase protection.
  • Thermal Modeling: Features an advanced thermal equivalent model with independent heating and cooling constants.
  • Start-up Control: Programmable hourly start limits, start interval times, and running stall protection.
  • Measurement: Current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and motor start counts.

Application Scenarios:

  • Manufacturing and process industries.
  • Utility distribution systems.
  • Protection of cable feeders and distribution transformers.

Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:

  • Plug-in Design: Features a removable plug-in unit for quick, safe insertion and withdrawal during maintenance.
  • Expandability: Supports an optional add-on card for RTD sensors or thermistor elements for direct bearing and winding temperature measurement.

Working Principle:
The REM610 utilizes high-speed digital signal processing to continuously monitor motor parameters. Its advanced thermal model calculates the exact thermal stress on the motor windings, allowing for precise tripping before insulation damage occurs.

Installation Requirements:

  • Utilize the plug-in design for easy switchgear commissioning.
  • Connect RTD sensors if direct temperature monitoring is required.

Usage Precautions:

  • Note that the REM610 has been an inactive product since 2017.
  • Ensure correct configuration of the thermal model constants to match the specific motor being protected.
