A specific model of the REX 521 series within ABB’s Relion® product family, it is specifically designed to provide comprehensive and reliable primary protection for medium and large power transformers. It integrates advanced differential protection algorithms and multiple backup protection functions in a compact unit.

Key Features & Characteristics
-
Primary Protection: Transformer Differential Protection
-
Core Principle: Detects internal transformer faults by comparing the magnitude and phase of currents on the high-voltage and low-voltage sides. This is the most sensitive and rapid primary protection for transformers.
-
Advanced Characteristics:
-
Percentage Restraint Characteristic: Reliably distinguishes between internal fault currents and external events (like through-faults) or inrush currents, preventing false operation.
-
Inrush Current Restraint: Identifies transformer magnetizing inrush current during energization (typically through 2nd harmonic analysis) and blocks the differential protection to prevent unnecessary tripping.
-
CT Circuit Supervision: Detects breaks in the Current Transformer circuits and issues an alarm or blocks the protection.
-
Comprehensive Backup Protection Functions
-
In addition to the main differential protection, the unit integrates various backup protections, creating a complete solution that often eliminates the need for separate relays. Common backup functions include:
-
Overcurrent protection (Definite Time, Inverse Time)
-
Earth-Fault (Ground) protection
-
Overvoltage/Undervoltage protection
-
Overfrequency/Underfrequency protection
-
Thermal overload protection (for the transformer)
-
Control, Monitoring & Communication
-
Measurement & Metering: Real-time monitoring of electrical parameters like current, voltage, power, power factor, and energy.
-
Event Recording: A time-tagged event logger records all operations, alarms, and fault events.
-
Fault Disturbance Recording: Captures current and voltage waveforms before, during, and after a fault for detailed analysis.
-
Communication Capabilities:
-
Typically equipped with multiple communication interfaces, such as RS485.
-
Supports standard industrial protocols like IEC 61850 (for digital substations), Modbus, IEC 60870-5-103, etc., enabling easy integration into Substation Automation Systems (SAS).
-
User-Friendly Operation
-
Front Panel: Features a large graphical LCD display and navigation keys for local data viewing, setting modification, and control.
-
Configuration Software: Dedicated ABB software tools (like PCM600 or the earlier CAP 501) allow for easy parameter setting, logic configuration, and data analysis.
Model Code Breakdown
