Description

ABB REX521GHHGSH51G

Technical Specifications:

  • Product Family: Relion 500 Series.
  • Communication: IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, Modbus.
  • Protection: Multi-stage overcurrent, directional earth fault, and cable thermal overload.

Functional Features:

  • Cable Protection: Advanced thermal modeling to prevent cable insulation degradation.
  • Fault Location: Accurate fault distance calculation for rapid repair.
  • Flexible Logic: Extensive programmable logic for custom control schemes.

Application Scenarios:

  • Urban distribution networks.
  • Industrial plant substations.
  • Cable-fed distribution systems.

Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:

  • Modular I/O: Customizable input/output configuration.
  • High-Resolution Display: Detailed local data visualization.

Working Principle:
Processes voltage and current signals to detect faults. The thermal overload function uses a dynamic model based on actual load current and ambient temperature to protect cables.

Installation Requirements:

  • Configure the cable parameters (length, cross-section, insulation type) accurately for thermal protection.
  • Integrate with the substation SCADA via IEC 61850.

Usage Precautions:

  • Validate fault location algorithms with known fault simulations.
  • Keep firmware and configuration backups.
