Figure 5. Main protection of a Yyn(d) connected power transformer and control of the HV side circuit breaker using a RET615 with the standard configuration D. Restricted E/F protection with a high impedance scheme is applied on the transformer MV side. A REF615 with the standard configuration C is used as redundant back-up protection on the HV side.
ABB’s 615 series protection and control IEDs protection system approach enabled by the together with the COM600 Station full implementation of the IEC 61850 Automation device constitute a genuine IEC substation automation standard.
