Capacitor bank Protection and Control Relay REV615

Description

REV615 is a dedicated capacitor bank relay designed for the protection, control, measurement and supervision of capacitor banks used for compensation of reactive power in utility substations and industrial power systems. REV615 can also be used for protection of harmonic filter circuits, if the highest significant harmonic component is the 11th. REV615 is a member of ABB’s Relion® product family and part of its 615 protection and control product series. The 615 series relays are characterized by their compactness and withdrawable-unit design.

Re-engineered from the ground up, the 615 series has been designed to unleash the full potential of the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability between substation automation devices.
