OVERVIEW

The REF601/REJ601 are specialized feeder protection relays for the protection of utility substations and industrial power systems in primary and secondary distribution networks.

Similarly, the REM601 is a specialized motor protection relay for the protection of medium and low voltage asynchronous motors in manufacturing and process industries.

The REF601/REJ601/REM601 is a member of the ABB Relion® product family, belonging to the 605 series.

The relays optimize the combination of protection, monitoring and control functions in a single unit.

It offers best-in-class performance and availability and is based on ABB’s in-depth www.abb-drive.com knowledge of protection and digital technology.

Common features of the REF601/REJ601/REM601 include

 Compact and easy to use

Relay functions

The REF601/REJ601/REM601 provide pre-configured functions for quick and easy commissioning of switchgear.

To emphasize the ease of use of the relays, only application-specific parameters need to be set within the intended application of the relay.
