Application

Versatile phase, earth, positive and zero sequence overcurrent functions, which can

optionally be made directional and/or voltage controlled, provide further alternative backup

protection. Thermal overload with two time constants, volts per hertz, over/under voltage and

over/under frequency protection functions are also available.

A built-in disturbance and event recorder provides valuable data to the user about status and

operation for post-fault disturbance analysis. Breaker failure protection for each transformer

breaker allows high speed back-up tripping of surrounding breakers.

The transformer IED can also be provided with a full control and interlocking functionality including

Synchrocheck function to allow integration of the main and/or a local back-up control.

Out of Step function is available to separate power system sections close to electrical centre

at occurring out of step.

The advanced logic capability, where user logic is prepared with a graphical tool, allows special

applications such as automatic opening of disconnectors in multi-breaker arrangements,

closing of breaker rings, load transfer logic and soon. The graphical configuration tool ensures

simple and fast testing and commissioning.

Serial data communication is via optical connections to ensure immunity against disturbances.

Application

The differential function offers a high sensitivity for

low-level internal faults. The unique and innovative

sensitive differential protection feature of the

RET670 provides the best possible coverage for

winding internal turn-to-turn faults, based on well

known theory of symmetrical components .

Low impedance restricted earth-fault protection

functions are available as complimentary sensitive

and fast main protection against winding earth

faults. This function includes a directional zero

sequence current criterion for additional security.

Additionally a high impedance differential function

is available.

It can be used as restricted earth

fault or, as three functions are included, also as

differential protection on autotransformers, as

differential protection for a tertiary connected

reactor, as T-differential protection for the

transformer feeder in a mesh-corner or ring

arrangement, as tertiary bus protection and so on.

Tripping from Pressure relief/Buchholz and

temperature devices can be done through the

transformer IED where pulsing, lock-out contact

output and so on, is performed. The binary inputs

are heavily stabilized against disturbance to

prevent incorrect operations at for example, dc

system capacitive discharges or DC earth faults.

Distance protection functionality for phase-to

phase and/or phase-to-earth faults is available as

back-up protection for faults within the

transformer and in the connected power system.

Application

RET670 provides fast and selective protection,

monitoring and control for two- and three-winding

transformers, autotransformers, generator

transformer units and shunt reactors. The

transformer IED is designed to operate correctly

over a wide frequency range in order to

accommodate power system frequency variations

during disturbances and generator start-up and shut-down.

A very fast differential protection function, with

automatic CT ratio matching and vector group

compensation, makes this IED the ideal solution

even for the most demanding applications. Since

RET670 has very low requirements on the main

CTs, no interposing CTs are required.

It is suitable for differential applications with multi-breaker

arrangements with up to six restraint CT inputs.

The differential protection function is provided

with 2nd harmonic and wave-block restraint

features to avoid tripping for magnetizing inrush

current, and 5th harmonic restraint to avoid tripping for overexcitation.

Easiness with the built-in EMC C2 filter

High-frequency noise can directly affect sensitive electronic equipment and

high-speed communication fieldbuses. Each ACS480 drive is equipped with

a built-in EMC filter to reduce high-frequency emissions. The built-in EMC C2

filter allows the drive to be used in industrial and commercial (building)

environments without a need to buy and install any external filters.

Boosting energy efficiency

Energy efficiency information is available in the energy optimizer feature to help

you optimize your processes. The energy optimizer feature operates both in scalar

and vector control modes, ensuring maximum torque per ampere and reducing

energy drawn from the supply. You can follow the saved energy, CO₂ emissions

or money, and see how fast the drive brings you a return on investment.

Easiness with built-in brake chopper

A brake chopper is built-in as standard for all the ACS480 drives. The brake

chopper enables shorter and more accurate braking times, which instantly

increases productivity.

Instant availability

ACS480 products are available from central stocks around

the world for immediate delivery. The product is also

widely available from ABB distributors.

Maximum reliability

Design features like coated circuit boards, minimized

airflow through the control board section, earth fault

protection and design for 50 °C ambient temperature make

the ACS480 a safe choice. These features prolong the

lifetime of the drives and protect your applications from

unexpected downtimes. In addition, all the units are

tested during production in maximum temperature with

nominal loads.

Leverage the compact design of the ACS480 for a cost-effective and efficient solution.

The cabinet optimized design with built-in features and control functions provide you

with streamlined process automation and efficiency to improve your bottom line.

The new generation of circuit breakers, such as the ADVAC breaker with a torroidal spring, were

designed specifically for use with vacuum technology.

Each generation reflects the best technology available at the

time of their introduction, building on the strengths of previous designs, yet adding new innovations,

marking true turning points.

Although it is well established that vacuum interrupters are

capable of more than 10,000 operations, conventional stored

energy circuit breakers seldom operate beyond 10,000 operations without teardown,

re-lubrication, and/or replacement of parts.

More than 100 parts are required to perform spring charging, closing, anti-pumping and tripping

functions.

Conventional stored energy breakers also place limitations on the types of control voltages allowed. 

Vacuum interrupters were mounted in

open moldings, making them susceptible to dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres.

The AMVAC is truly the next generation in medium voltage vacuum technology. 

With the AMVAC, ABB is the first to combine

the unique requirements of vacuum interrupter technology to a

stored energy mechanism designed to exploit these capabilities.

Using a flux-shifting device with integral permanent magnets,

the AMVAC mechanism has just seven moving parts. Having

only an open/close actuator, an electronic controller, and capacitors for energy storage, the AMVAC

circuit breaker mechanism

is capable of 50,000 to 100,000 operations. Vacuum interrupters are embedded in a proprietary epoxy

material, achieving

excellent dielectric and thermal capabilities. Eliminating mechanism operated cell switches, the AMVAC

breaker packages all auxiliary control contacts on the circuit breaker. These are just a

few of the features that mark a departure from the conventional

stored energy breaker and introduce new capabilities and benefits for the modern power systems.
