ABB REF615E_E HBFJAEAGNEA1BAA11E | Feeder Protection Relay

📌 Product Description

The ABB REF615E_E HBFJAEAGNEA1BAA11E is a Relion 615 series feeder protection and control relay designed for utility substations and industrial power distribution systems. REF615 provides protection, control, measurement, and supervision functions for overhead lines and cable feeders in radial, looped, and meshed distribution networks.

The relay supports a wide range of feeder protection functions, including phase and earth-fault overcurrent protection, directional protection, voltage and frequency protection, breaker condition monitoring, disturbance recording, and control functions depending on the selected configuration. REF615 also supports IEC 61850-based substation communication together with Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870-5-103.

The HBFJAEAGNEA1BAA11E configuration should be matched carefully with the original relay before replacement because REF615 functions, I/O arrangements, communication interfaces, and measurement inputs vary according to the ordered configuration. The referenced listing identifies this unit as New – Open Box.
