REB 500sys Station Protection

The substation protection system

A combined protection system for complete substation protection

The REB500sys station protection system continues in writing new chapters in the history of protection technology. Well introduced and globally accepted by demanding customers, the next step was implemented into the REB500sys. The decentralized busbar protection system with integrated breaker failure and line protection has been extended with transformer protection for 2- and 3-winding transformers as well as auto transformers. Due to a high degree of functional integration, the protection concept is getting simpler and, at the same time it provides an increase in security while life-cycle cost are decreasing. The powerful station protection system REB500sys contains the well-proven ABB software algorithms that have already been successfully used worldwide for many years. REB500sys contains the existing functions of the busbar and breaker-failure protection system REB500 and integrates the well-known line and transformer protection functions from REL316*4 and RET316*4.
The REB500sys applications

Depending on the voltage level and protection philosophy, the following protection concepts are frequently encountered. The proven REB500sys concept covers these situations:

Main 1 and main 2 protection devices per feeder and one busbar protection The REB500sys station protection enables this protection concept to be simplified, thanks to a higher degree of functional integration. By dispensing one of the two main protection devices, the same level of substation protection is maintained whilst cost and space of an extra device are saved and the costs over the complete life cycle are reduced.

The REB500sys system concept

One main protection and a back-up protection device per feeder, no busbar protection REB500sys will enable the availability of your energy supply to be increased as a result of employing busbar and breaker-failure protection in substations where this was not possible up to now for commercial reasons.

In retrofit projects The protection scheme is enhanced and comprehensive monitoring added

The protection system is based on the REB500 architecture with decentralized bay units. These are connected to a central unit via fiber-optic cables. The high electromagnetic compatibility permits the bay units to be installed close to the switchgear. The bay units are connected to the current and voltage transducers and the switchgear. Remote access to the station protection for station monitoring, parameterization and fast data retrieval is supported via the central unit as single point of access. The feeder protection functions are executed in each bay unit, independently of the central unit.

What are the benefits of REB500sys station protection? Reliable protection of your investment in the substation
One system provides comprehensive

protection of busbars, switchgear, lines and transformers.

Proven ABB algorithms and technology:

REB500 busbar and breaker-failure protection, REL316*4 line protection and RET316*4 transformer differential protection have been successfully and reliably used worldwide for many years.

Improved availability of your energy supply

Event and fault recording covering the

complete substation supports a quick analysis of fault situations.

All measurements such as current, voltage,

busbar zone differential currents, etc. are displayed centrally for status monitoring.
Monitoring of breaker and isolator posi-

tions, transducers and of the REB500sys itself permits a reduction in periodic maintenance work, but nevertheless provides an immediate recognition of failures.

Reduction of the total project costs and project execution time

ABB supplies predefined, type-tested

standard configurations.
The installation is simplified and is more

economic thanks to reduced hardware, cabling and space requirements.

All applications are covered by a common

PC-based configuration and setting program. The system is more uniform due to the reduction in the number and type of devices.
