Technical Parameters
Parameter Category Specification
Product Series / Platform ABB Relion® 615 Series (REF615 Platform)
Device Type Numerical Feeder Protection and Control Relay (IED)
Hardware Variant Suffix -E - Typically indicates:
• Wide-range auxiliary power supply.
• Extended operating temperature range.
• Possibly a specific default I/O or communication configuration.
Key Standards IEC 60255, IEC 61850 (Ed. 2), IEC 60870-5-103
Rated Auxiliary Supply (Us) Typical for -E version: 48 - 250 V DC / 48 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (Auto-ranging). This is a key benefit, allowing installation in systems with various control voltages.
Analog Inputs
• Current (CT) Inputs 5 current inputs: 3 phase (IL1, IL2, IL3), 1 neutral (IN), 1 sensitive earth fault (Io). Configurable for 1 A or 5 A secondary.
• Voltage (VT) Inputs 4 voltage inputs: 3 phase (UL1, UL2, UL3) + 1 residual/auxiliary voltage (Uo). Standard ratings: 100/110 V or 100/√3 V.
Core Protection Functions Full suite included (configurable via software):
• Directional/Non-directional phase & earth overcurrent (50/51, 67)
• Two-step negative sequence overcurrent (46)
• Thermal overload (49)
• Over/Under voltage (27/59) & frequency (81)
• Auto-reclosing (79)
• Breaker failure (50BF)
• Sensitive directional earth fault (67N)
Control & Automation • Control of up to 5 switching devices (CB, disconnectors).
• Programmable logic (CFC in PCM600).
• Synchrocheck (25).
Measurement & Metering Class 0.5 for: I, V, P, Q, S, PF, f, Energy (kWh, kVARh), Harmonics.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) • Graphical LCD with backlight.
• Keypad navigation.
• LED indicators.
• Front USB port.
Data Recording • Event recorder (>1000 events).
• Disturbance recorder (oscillography).
Communication Interfaces Base unit typically includes:
• 1 x RS485 port (for IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU).
• 1 x Ethernet port (RJ45, front or rear).
Optional plug-in modules for: IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, additional Ethernet, Profibus, etc.
Time Synchronization IRIG-B, SNTP, PTP (IEEE 1588) support.
Operating Temperature Extended Range: -40°C to +70°C (A key feature of the -E variant).
Mounting Panel-mounted (compact design).
Configuration Software ABB PCM600.
Typical Ordering Context A complete order code would be longer, e.g., REF615C-E A5D1A1B1B1B5C..., where the subsequent letters/numbers define: CT/VT ratings, binary I/O count, communication modules, etc.
