Description
Product Introduction
ABB REF615 HBFHAEAGANB1BAN1XG is a feeder protection relay for utility and industrial MV distribution. The unit is built for overhead lines and cable feeders in radial, looped, and meshed networks, with or without distributed generation.
This configuration is non-directional overcurrent and earth-fault with CB condition monitoring. It comes with IEC 61850 Ed. 1/2, GOOSE, Modbus, DNP3, and supports 48–250 V DC and 100–240 V AC supply. The withdrawable plug-in design cuts swap time. Honestly, that matters when you’re under live-line pressure.
