Function and Working Principle
The ABB REJ603 operates as a digital protection relay that continuously monitors electrical parameters within medium-voltage distribution systems.
During normal operation, the relay receives current measurement signals from connected current transformers. The internal processing unit analyzes these signals and compares the measured values with predefined protection settings.
When an abnormal electrical condition occurs, the relay quickly identifies the fault and activates the required protection response. The device can generate protection outputs, provide fault indications, and record operational information for troubleshooting.
The operating process includes:
- Receiving current measurement signals
- Processing electrical system data
- Evaluating protection parameters
- Detecting abnormal conditions
- Activating protection outputs
- Recording fault information
Main functions include:
- Feeder protection
- Overcurrent protection
- Earth fault protection
- Fault detection
- Event recording
- Diagnostic monitoring
