Technical Architecture & Functional Positioning

The F650BFBF1G0HIC is identical in protection and I/O capability to the standard F650BABF2G0HI but upgrades the front panel to a large color graphical HMI (“F” display). This enables on-screen single-line diagrams, trending, alarm banners, and direct breaker control via pushbuttons — dramatically improving operator situational awareness and reducing training time.

It is the most widely deployed graphical variant where local manual control, clear visual indication, and mimic diagrams are required but full redundant Ethernet or process bus is not justified.

Typical Application Scenarios

Primary 11–66 kV indoor substation bays requiring local operator control and clear single-line overview
Industrial plant main incoming feeders with frequent manual switching
Ring-main units and compact switchgear needing intuitive local HMI
Replacement of panel meters + annunciators + traditional relays with a single intelligent device
Critical infrastructure (hospitals, airports, data centers) where operators must act quickly without SCADA
