Recloser designHigh voltage unit technology



HCEP insulating material

The pole insulating material is Hydrophobic Cycloa liphatic

Epoxy (HCEP). the next generation of Cycloaliphatic Epoxy

(CEP).

Hydrophobicity provides water resistance, preventing water

from developing completely wetted, resistively conductive

surfaces on outdoor insulation. As a result, leakage currents

are reduced which increases reliability by minimizing the

risk of insulation flashover. Furthermore, reducing discharge

activity translates into decreased insulator erosion and

increased insulator l ife expectancy.

Advantages

Improved water beading and runoff

Lower leakage currents and less discharge activity

Reduced flash-over probability

Less erosion of insulation

Improved performance in heavily polluted areas

Improved weatherability and outdoor aging

Prolonged life expectancy

Exceptional mechanical strength attributed to epoxy-

based design

Contamination performanceDetermined by creepage/leakage distance available on a

recloser bushing (pole), contamination performance is a very

important factor when considering the reclosers operat-

ing environment. ABB uses the HCEP insulation to not only

offer a product that far exceeds the creep required by ANSI

standards, but also to produce results that go beyond IEC

Level IV requirements for environments with very heavy pol-

lution.

RER620 overview

The RER620, part of the Relion family of ABB controls, is a

dedicated IED perfectly aligned for the protection, control, mea-

surement and supervision of utility substations and industrial

power systems including radial, looped and meshed distribu-

tion networks with or without distributed power generation. The

RER620 IED is characterized by its compactness and withdraw-

able unit design.

Engineered from the ground up, the RER620 has been designed

to unleash the full potential of the IEC 61850 standard for com-

munication and interoperability. The RER620 provides main

protection for overhead lines and cable feeders in distribution

networks.

RER620 Introduction

Part of Relion family of ABB controls

Drawout design for quick and easy maintenance

Environmentally friendly design with RoHS compliance

Capable of having up to 20 binary inputs and 14 binary out-

puts

Easy integration into Ethernet or serial-based communica-

tion networks with standard: DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC

60870-5-104, Modbus, IEC 61850

Use of GOOSE messaging (peer-to-peer) for high-speed pro-

tection, transfer switching, fault isolation and service restora-tion

Interact via easy to read local HMI or remotely

Six setting groups for protection scheme flexibility

High Impedance (HIZ) fault detection creates more safety for

life around power lines

Embedded In-rush detection for added reliability connecting

distributed generation networks

Integrated loop control as standard offering

There are two loop control schemes that come with the Grid-

Shield recloser:

The traditional loop control scheme is based on voltage, over-

current and reclosing sequence.

Additional ly, there is the advanced 61850 (peer-to-peer) loop

control scheme for fault detection, isolation and restoration.

With the quick response from GOOSE messaging, the reclosers

can communicate with each other and determine where thefault is, preventing unnecessary reclosing.

Self-diagnostics

- Built-in self-diagnostics continuously monitors

the RER620 electronics and the operation of the

relay software

- Any fault or malfunction will raise an alert

The web HMI enables the user to access the RER620 via a web

browser. This method of connecting to the RER620 requires

no additional software and can connect locally by connecting

a computer to the RER620 via the front communication port

or remotely over LAN/WAN. With a menu tree structure similar

to the one on the local HMI, the user does not need to spend

time relearning where every setting is located. With this useful

tool, the user has a quick means for programming most of the

recloser settings.

Protection functions

The RER620 IED offers the most extensive and adaptive set of

protective functions in the industry.

High Impedance (HIZ) fault detection

High impedance faults have small current magnitudes that are

difficult to detect by standard protection. While small fault cur-

rents do not pose danger to power equipment, a high imped-

ance fault poses a deadly threat to humans and animals.

How has ABB addressed HIZ?

7 years of dedicated research and extensive field tests to

develop best solution

Created HIZ (PHIZ1) function in protection schemes

Utilize ground/earth fault current signatures in HIZ algorithm

Embedded In-rush energy detectionIn situations where distributed generation is first connected to

a main network, there is a large current pull from transformers,

which will cause a relay to trip the recloser on the line. The

traditional solution is to use communication to inform the relay

of the situation and prevent the trip. With the RER620, there is

no need for communication because of the embedded In-rush

energy detection.

Note: When selecting ANSI f aceplating, IEC61850, DNP3.0 Level 2 and Modbus communication protocols are automatically selected for the RER620.

An IEC facepla te sel ection will result in a selec tion for IEC61850 IEC101 and IEC104 communica tion pro tocols for the RER620.



Accessories

Recloser simulator assembly

Test relay schemes or verify your protection settings with an

ABB Recloser Simulator Card without having the high voltage

unit connected to it. This is ideal for protection engineers to

verify the relay performance at their convenience.

Easy, cost effective method for testing relay schemes and

the operational health of an RER620, without operating the

recloser

Simulate fault conditions inject secondary currents up to

1 A (to simulate primary currents up to 600 A)

Software can collect oscillographic records of fault

simulations

Comes with wiring harness and power adapter for RER620 Compatible with PCM600 software

Flexitest switch

Perform secondary current and voltage injection directly into

the RER620 (ABB FT-1 option allows easy access for testing

using secondary current injection and voltage with virtually

any type of test equipment)

Use the FT-1 to test the health of the recloser PTs and CTs

No need to disconnect the 24 pin cable or phoenix plugs

Use the FT-1 to test the GridShield contacts and program-

mable I/O

Transfer switch

Quickly transfer control power between the load and source

sides of a GridShield recloser. Potential transformers (PTs) must

be connected on both the load and source sides of a GridShieldrecloser.

Animal guards

GridShield animal guards provide easy-to-install protection that

reduces on animal related interruptions.

Bushing terminal accessories

All GridShield reclosers come standard with a 1- inch (25.4 mm)

diameter stud (12 threads) on all source and load terminals.

COM600

The stat ion automation device of ABB, COM600 is an all-in-

one communication gateway, providing connectivity between

substation IEDs and network-level control and management

systems. Additionally it is capable of automatic fault isolation

and restoration.

The COM600 adds distributed inte lligence to the feeders, and

it is ideal for automation of rural li nes or whenever the user

has SCADA IDMS limitations. It is a total configurable solution

capable of providing all logic for fault detection isolation and

restoration.
