Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version Safety information Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the auxiliary voltage has been disconnected. National and local electrical safety regulations must always be followed.
The pickup signals can be used for blocking co-operating protection relays and signalling. Fig. 3.3.-1 and Fig. 3.3.-2 represent REF 610 with the default configuration: all trip signals are routed to trip the circuit breaker. In Fig. 3.3.-1, the residual current is measured via a core-balance current transformer and the output contacts are connected to enable the use of the auto-reclose function.
Functional description 4.1.1. Product functions 4.1.1.1. Protection functions The protection functions of REF 610 with their IEC symbols and IEEE device numbers are presented in the table below: Table 4.1.1.1-1 IEC symbols and IEEE device numbers IEEE Device Function description...
4.1.1.3. Outputs REF 610 is provided with three trip outputs (PO1, PO2 and PO3), two non-trip outputs (SO1 and SO2) and three optional non-trip outputs (SO3, SO4 and SO5). Switchgroups SGR1...8 are used for routing internal signals from the protection elements, the external trip signal and signals from the auto-reclose function to the desired non-trip or trip output.

Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version 4.1.4.2. Overcurrent protection The non-directional overcurrent protection detects overcurrent caused by phase-to- phase and phase-to-ground short circuits. When one or several phase currents exceed the set pickup value of the low-set element, 51P, the element will generate a pickup signal after a ~ 55 ms.
REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version Element 50P-2 can be set out of operation in SGF3. This state will be indicated by dashes on the LCD and by “999” when the set pickup value is read via serial communication.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version It is possible to block the tripping of an ground-fault element by applying a digital input signal to the relay. Note! Elements 51N and 50N can be set to be blocked by the auto-reclose function.

Local light detection requires the optional arc light detection hardware. The arc protection can be realized as a stand-alone function in a single REF 610 or as a station-wide arc protection including several REF 610 protection relays. If realized as a station-wide arc protection, different tripping schemes can be selected for the operation of the circuit breakers of the incoming and outgoing feeders.
At a permanent fault, auto-reclosing is followed by definite tripping. A permanent fault must be located and cleared before the fault location can be re-energized. The auto-reclose (AR) function of REF 610 can be used with any circuit breaker suitable for auto-reclosing. The AR function provides three programmable...

Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version 4.1.5. Trip-circuit supervision The trip-circuit supervision (TCS) detects open circuits, both when the circuit breaker is open and closed, and trip-circuit supply failure. The trip-circuit supervision is based on the constant current injection principle: by applying an external voltage, a constant current is forced to flow through the external trip circuit.
REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version closed. The opening contact, on the contrary, is to be connected in series with the external shunt resistor, which will enable trip-circuit supervision when the circuit breaker is open; see Fig. 4.1.5.-1.
4.1.8. Target LEDs and operation target messages The operation of REF 610 can be monitored via the HMI by means of LED targets and text messages on the LCD. On the front panel of the relay there are three target LEDs with fixed functionality: a green target LED (ready), a yellow target LED (pickup/alarm) and a red target LED (trip).
4.1.11.1. Function REF 610 features an integrated disturbance recorder for recording monitored quantities. The recorder continuously captures the curve forms of the currents as well as the status of both internal and digital input signals and stores these in the memory.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version channels, referred to as digital signals, are pickup and trip signals from the protection elements, the alarm signal from element 49, the signals from the auto- reclose function and the digital input signals linked to the relay.
4.1.12. Recorded data of the last events (Fault Summary) REF 610 records up to five events. This enables the user to analyze the last five fault conditions in the electrical power network. Each event includes the measured currents, pickup durations and time stamp, for instance. Additionally, information on the number of pickups, trips and auto-reclose shots is provided.

51N, counting up to 255 4.1.13. Communication ports REF 610 is provided with an optical communication port (infrared) on the front panel. Rear communication is optional and requires a communication module, which can be provided with either a plastic fibre-optic, combined fibre-optic (plastic and glass) or RS-485 connection.
IrDA Standard specifications or using a specific front communication cable (ABB art. no 1MRS050698). The cable is connected to the serial RS-232 port of the PC. The optical element of the cable is powered by RS-232 control signals. The cable has a fixed baud rate of 9.6 kbps.
REF 610 will use the SPA bus protocol as default when the optional communication module is in use. The protocol selection is memorized and will therefore always be activated when the rear connection is in use.

4.1.18. Self-supervision (IRF) system REF 610 is provided with an extensive self-supervision system which continuously supervises the software and the electronics of the relay. It handles run-time fault situations and informs the user about an existing fault via a LED on the HMI and a text message on the LCD.
The input terminals of the optional I/O module are located on connection socket X3.1 (see tables 4.2.1-4 and 4.2.1-5). Note! REF 610 is provided with connection socket X3.1 only if the optional I/O module has been installed. Terminals X4.1/21-24 and X3.1/1-6 (optional) are digital input terminals (see table 4.2.1-5).

• 9.6 or 4.8 kbps (9.6 kbps with front communication cable) Auxiliary voltage REF 610 requires a secured auxiliary voltage supply to operate. The internal power supply of the relay forms the voltages required by the relay electronics. The power supply is a galvanically isolated (flyback-type) DC/DC converter.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version Application examples 5.1. Auto-reclose function 5.1.1. Fast tripping and initiation of shot 1 using two protection elements In several applications, such as fuse-saving applications involving down-stream fuses, tripping and initiation of shot 1 should be fast (instantaneous or short-time delayed) and of shot 2 and 3, and definite tripping time delayed.
An alternative way to achieve fast tripping and shot initiation (typical for certain countries, such as Finland), is to use pickup signals from protection elements for shot initiation. The AR function of REF 610 can be initiated by the pickup signals from elements 51P and 51N.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755535 Technical Reference Manual - ANSI Version Shot initiation by a pickup signal applies only to shot 1, and to definite tripping, i.e. when no more shots are allowed but the network fault has not been cleared. In this case, the AR function will trip the circuit breaker on expiration of AR 51P Pickup Delay and AR 51N Pickup Delay.
An arc protection with one REF 610 only (see Fig. 5.2.1.-1) is realized by installing two arc lens sensors, connected to the relay protecting the incoming feeder, to detect an arc on the busbar.
