Conversion Function

Automatic Operating Mode

The Harness system can be put into automatic conversion mode by using the operating mode selection button on the operation panel.

In the automatic conversion mode, the system will automatically detect the two power sources and judge whether the two power sources are normal or not.

When one of the power supply fails, the system will carry out automatic power conversion; at the same time, in order to adapt to the fluctuation of the power grid, the conversion process can support the action delay setting.

Self-input and self-recovery

When one of the two power sources fails, the system will automatically disconnect and switch to the other one to supply power to the load.

When the faulty power supply returns to normal, it will automatically return to the state where the two power supplies are powered separately.

Self-throw without self-recovery

When one of the two power supplies fails, it will automatically disconnect and switch to the other one to supply power to the load.

When the faulted power supply returns to normal, it is necessary to select the self-recovery button or operate manually to return to the state of ‘CB1 closing/CB3 opening/CB2 closing’.

Manual switching of operating modes (non-parallel)

The Harness system can also be operated manually via the control panel, which allows manual control of the CB1 closing/ CB3 opening/ CB2 closing by means of the closing and splitting buttons.

The manual mode of operation is a ‘non-parallel’ mode, which supports electrical interlocking to prevent manual operation. At the same time, it supports the function of disconnection blocking, which guarantees the safety of the power supply system.

The power supply system is safe and secure. The parallel switching mode is used for planned maintenance or power failure of the incoming power supply line.

The CB1/CB2 is operated in the form of a ‘close first, split second’ mode to ensure that there is no interruption of power supply during the conversion process.

(The parallel connection time of power supply 1/2 is not more than 200ms.) At the same time of parallel connection operation, the synchronisation verification module detects the synchronisation condition of the two power supplies.

If the two power supplies are in the synchronous state, the synchronous indicator will light up automatically, and you can enter the manual parallel conversion operation;

If the conditions for parallel connection are not sufficient, the synchronisation indicator goes out, the circuit breaker automatically locks the closing function of the mother switch, and the parallel conversion operation cannot be completed.

Description

REU610 is a voltage protection relay for system voltage

protection, measuring and supervising in utility and industrial

power systems. REU610 is a member of ABB’s Relion®

protection and control product family and part of its 610

product series. The 610 series includes protection relays for

feeder protection, motor protection and general system voltage

supervision. The plug-in design of the 610 series protection

relays facilitates the commissioning of the switchgear and

enables fast and safe insertion and withdrawal of relay plug-in units.

The protection relay is primarily designed for the overvoltage

protection of power system components, such as busbars,

feeders, power transformers and capacitor batteries. It is also

used for the general power system earth-fault supervision.

Further, the protection relay can be used for undervoltage

protection of motors and overvoltage protection of capacitor

batteries, for initialization of automatic busbar changeover and

disconnecting small power units from the network in case of a

major network disturbance. The 610 series protection relays

are suitable for employment in marine and offshore environments.

The numerical voltage protection relays of the 610 series

support a wide range of standard communication protocols,

among them the IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, DNP3, Modbus,

Profibus, LON and SPA communication protocols.

Application

The REJ603 is a protection relay aimed at selective short-circuit and earth-fault protection

of feeders in secondary distribution networks and for protection of transformers in utilities and industries.

The inrush current stabilization function allows the relay to be used as main protection of

distribution transformers.

The relay is powered up through current transformer if current is above energizing level of

relay, front USB power or through auxiliary supply (optional feature).

The relay offers, non-directional over current and earth-fault protection. 

The residual current for the earth-fault protection is derived from the phase currents. 

When applicable,the corebalance current transformers can be used for measuring the residual current,

especially when sensitive earth-fault protection is required.

The relay additionally offers thermal overload protection for feeders, cables and transformers.

There is optional provision of remote trip through binary input with external auxiliary power supply.

The remote trip signals like transformer trouble output (Buchholz, Oil temperature,

Winding temperature trip) or an external trip can be wired

to binary input. The remote trip function works even in CT-powered mode when auxiliary supply

is not available but enough CT current is available to power-up the relay.

Measurement

The relay continuously measures phase currents and earth current. Earth current can be

measured using external core balance current transformer or can be calculated internally.

The relay has provision to display measured three phase current and earth current in primary

and secondary terms. Additionally, relay displays status of binary input, binary output and trip

counter for over current and earth fault trip.

During service, the default view of display shows three phase current and the earth current in

secondary terms. The values measured can be accessed using on the local HMI.
