Description
System placement in substation architecture
Typical protection layering in transmission systems:
- Busbar protection: REB670 / REB500 series
- Bay control & interlocking: REC650 / REC670
- Line protection: ABB RED670 1MRK002810-AC
Typical application zones:
- 132 kV / 220 kV / 400 kV transmission lines
- Long interconnection feeders between substations
- Ring and meshed grid corridors
- High fault level transmission networks
It is the primary protection element for line faults.
