Description
⚡ ABB REF615E-1G HBFHAEAGNEA1BAN11G is a Relion 615 series feeder protection and control relay designed for utility and industrial power distribution systems. REF615 provides protection, control, measurement, and supervision for overhead lines and cable feeders in radial, looped, and meshed distribution networks. ABB identifies REF615 as part of its 615 protection and control series, with a withdrawable design and IEC 61850 communication capabilities.
The complete ordering code HBFHAEAGNEA1BAN11G identifies the specific hardware and configuration of this REF615E-1G unit. The exact order code should be retained when replacing an installed relay because ABB uses the ordering string to define the IED’s hardware and software configuration.
