Description
The ABB REX521GHHPSH51G is an all-in-one Feeder Protection Relay and Control Terminal from ABB’s REX 521 series.
Designed for protection, control, measurement, and supervision of medium-voltage power distribution networks, utility substations, and industrial power plants, the REX 521 provides multi-stage non-directional and directional overcurrent/earth-fault protection, circuit breaker control, and continuous power quality monitoring.

Core Features & Operating Capabilities
- Comprehensive Feeder Protection: Provides multi-stage short-circuit overcurrent protection (I>, I>>, I>>>), earth-fault protection (I_0>, I_0>>), thermal overload monitoring, and auto-reclosing logic.
- Integrated Circuit Breaker Control: Allows local and remote breaker control with trip circuit supervision (TCS), breaker failure protection (50BF), and latching trip functionality.
- Measurement & Power Quality Diagnostics: Continuously monitors phase currents, neutral current, system frequency, active/reactive power, and total harmonic distortion (THD).
- Fault & Disturbance Recording: Onboard memory logs up to 100 event records with 1 ms timestamp resolution, along with disturbance recording waveforms for post-fault root-cause analysis.
- Flexible Substation Automation Integration: Features dedicated serial/bus communication interfaces to integrate seamlessly into SCADA, DCS, or station control systems.
