ABB REV615 Overload Relay
PART NUMBERREV615
The ABB REV615 is a dedicated capacitor bank protection and control relay designed for utility and industrial power distribution systems. It integrates protection, control, measurement, and supervision functions in a single withdrawable plug-in unit. The relay supports IEC 61850 protocols and protects H-bridge, double-Y, and single-Y connected capacitor banks, feeder cables, and harmonic filter circuits against overload, unbalance, and earth faults.

Overview & Key Features
The ABB REV615 is a dedicated capacitor bank protection and control relay engineered for utility and industrial power distribution systems. It consolidates protection, control, measurement, and supervision functions into a single compact device, reducing panel space, wiring complexity, and commissioning time compared to discrete component solutions.
- Comprehensive protection for capacitor banks, harmonic filter circuits, and associated feeder cables
- Ready-made standard configurations with tailoring capabilities for fast and easy setup
- Withdrawable plug-in unit design for swift installation, testing, and replacement
- Large graphical display showing customizable single-line diagrams (SLDs)
- Dual HMI access: local panel and web-browser-based interface for remote operation
- Supports IEC 61850 Editions 1 and 2, including HSR, PRP, GOOSE messaging, and IEC 61850-9-2 LE
- Optional arc protection and high-speed outputs for critical safety applications
- Current-based unbalance protection with natural unbalance compensation and switching resonance protection
Practical Applications / How It Works
The ABB REV615 operates as the central intelligence for reactive power compensation installations. It continuously samples current and voltage signals from the primary circuit, applies configurable protection algorithms, and executes trip, alarm, or control commands through binary outputs and IEC 61850 communication channels.
- H-bridge capacitor banks: Detects internal capacitor failures by monitoring voltage and current balance across bridge arms
- Double-Y connected capacitor banks: Calculates neutral-point current and voltage displacement to identify unbalance conditions caused by individual capacitor element failures
- Single-Y connected capacitor banks: Tracks phase currents and zero-sequence voltages for overload, earth-fault, and unbalance protection
- Harmonic filter circuits: Provides current-based switching resonance protection to prevent inrush transients from damaging capacitors and reactors during energization
- Utility substations: Manages power factor correction, voltage regulation, and reactive power support in medium-voltage distribution networks
- Industrial facilities: Protects power factor correction equipment in heavy manufacturing plants, data centers, mining operations, and large commercial installations
The relay communicates with station SCADA, energy management systems, and asset management platforms through standardized protocols, enabling centralized monitoring, event recording, and remote parameter management without physical access to the device.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What capacitor bank configurations does the ABB REV615 support? A: The REV615 supports H-bridge, double-Y-connected, and single-Y-connected capacitor bank configurations, along with associated feeder cables and harmonic filter circuits used for reactive power compensation.
Q: Which communication protocols are integrated in this relay? A: The relay natively supports IEC 61850 Editions 1 and 2, including HSR (High-Availability Seamless Redundancy), PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol), GOOSE messaging for fast peer-to-peer communication, and IEC 61850-9-2 LE for sampled values over the process bus.
Q: What optional protection functions can be added to the REV615? A: Optional arc protection with high-speed tripping outputs is available for installations requiring rapid arc-flash fault clearance, particularly in metal-enclosed switchgear and critical infrastructure applications.
Q: How is the REV615 serviced and supported over its operational life? A: The withdrawable plug-in design allows the unit to be removed for testing or replacement without disconnecting field wiring.
