Product overview

3.1 Purpose of the relay

The feeder protection relay REF610 is a multifunctional protection relay primarily used to protect incoming and outgoing lines in various feeder applications.

The relay is based on a microprocessor environment. A self-monitoring system continuously monitors the operation of the relay.

The human-machine interface includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) that makes local use of the relay safe and easy.

The relays can be controlled locally via serial communications from a computer connected to the front communication port.

Remote control is available through a serial communications bus connected to the rear connector of the control and monitoring system.

Relay protection for overhead lines and cable feeders in distribution networks for different application areas

Feeder protection, precisely the protection of overhead lines and cables, is the most commonly used type of protection.

The protection must ensure that the grid continues to supply power. In the event of a fault, it must be prevented from propagating to the normal part of the network.

Relay protection must also minimize damage to cables and other connected equipment from faults and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

ABB offers a wide range of feeder protection. There is a wide range of multifunctional relays for different application areas.

There are some for general feeder protection (overcurrent protection) and backup protection, and some more specialized ones, for example for line differential protection.

Concept

The TEIP11-PS signal converter converts standard electrical signals (e.g. 4 to 20 mA) to 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi).

It is therefore the link between electrical/electronic and pneumatic systems.

The signal conversion process is similar to the patented force balancing method.

The TEIP11-PS signal converter is characterized by relatively small dimensions and excellent operational stability in the event of shock and vibration.

The converter can withstand loads of up to 10 g with less than 1% impact on functionality.

The housing units are available in a wide range of models to suit your installation requirements.

For potentially explosive environments, units are available in intrinsically safe operation or in pressure-resistant packages with international approvals for worldwide use.

Both inputs and outputs are available with different ranges of signal conversion.

The unit requires only 1.4 bar (20 psi) compressed air for power.

Rail-Mounted Control Room Enclosure Units

The rail-mounted control room enclosure is the simplest and least expensive version of the I/P signal converter.

It is mounted using a mounting base that is compatible with all commercially available EN rails.

The enclosure with plastic cover is IP 20 rated.

Block-mounted control room housing units

The block-mounted control room housing unit allows the installation of several converters in a small space.

This design enables a central air supply via connection blocks and shut-off valves in the air connectors of the integrated signal converters.

Up to 4 signal converters can be mounted on the connection blocks required for modular installation.

If necessary, 2 or 3 (or up to 4) connection blocks can be interconnected to form a block unit with 4-8-12-16 signal converters.

Individual transducers can be mounted or dismounted during operation by means of shut-off valves.
