Product Overview

Use of the relay

The motor protection relay REM610 is a multifunctional protection relay primarily used to protect motors in various motor applications.

The relay is based on a microprocessor environment. A self-monitoring system continuously monitors the operation of the relay.

The human-machine interface includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) that makes local use of the relay safe and easy.

The relay can be controlled locally via serial communications from a computer www.abb-drive.com connected to the front communication port.

Remote control is available via a serial communications bus connected to the rear connector of the control and monitoring system.

Applications

The REM610 is a multifunctional relay protection device designed primarily for the protection of standard medium and large medium voltage asynchronous motors in a variety of motor applications.

It handles fault conditions during motor start-up, normal operation, idling and shutdown cooling in applications such as pumps, fans, mills or crushers.

A large number of integrated protection functions enable the REM610 to completely prevent motor damage. The relay can be used with both circuit breaker-controlled and contactor-controlled drives.

The REM610 can also be used to protect equipment such as feeder cables and power transformers that require thermal overload protection and protection against single-phase, two-phase or three-phase overcurrents or non-directional earth faults.

A large number of digital input and output contacts allow a wide range of applications.
