ABB offers products and systems for pr otection,
monitoring and control as well as data acquisition
of transmission and sub-transmission networks.
Solutions range from single & multifunction units to
fully integrated, comprehensive, high-performance
substation automation products. ABB offers
reliable products with Speed, Sensitivity and
Selectivity being the fundamentals of high
perfor ming protection.
Adaptive measurement, travelling waves, fourier
filtering, transient detection are some of the
methods used by ABB to design the fastest and
most accurate protection systems in the market.
This enables power systems to operate at higher
output and improved availability.
Multiple processor and communication capabilities
prevent separate functions interfering with each
other, which improves the reliability and back up
capability of the terminals. Complete protection of
power systems from generation to transmission
includes, all-or-nothing electromechanical relays,
static measuring relays and numerical relays (IEDs)
for the following major applications:
„ Generator & large machines protection
„ Transformer & Reactor protection
„ Busbar & Breaker protection
„ Line distance & differential protection
- Over head lines
- Underground cables
- Multi-terminal circuits
„ Bay controllers
„ Multi-purpose and special application protection
