ABB REX521BBHGLB01C Multifunction Feeder Protection Relay

The REX521BBHGLB01C is a legacy numerical multifunction feeder protection relay from ABB REX521 series, designed for medium‑voltage distribution networks. The ordering code REX521BBHGLB01C defines hardware variant, I/O allocation, HMI type and auxiliary power supply configuration. It integrates protection functions, electrical measurement, bay control, signal supervision, fault disturbance recording and communication gateway capability. It adopts fixed rack‑mount mechanical structure, mainly applied for incoming/outgoing feeders and medium‑voltage motor bays. It supports IEC 60870‑5‑103, Modbus RTU and LON‑bus communication protocols. This product is discontinued by ABB, still widely deployed in existing industrial and utility secondary substationsABB Group.

Main Functions

Non‑directional / directional phase overcurrent multi‑stage protection, earth‑fault protection, sensitive earth‑fault protection, thermal overload protection, phase unbalance and phase‑sequence supervision.

Motor‑oriented protection includes start‑up supervision, locked‑rotor monitoring and anti‑frequent‑start inhibition.

Breaker‑failure protection, configurable auto‑reclosing function.

Realize local & remote circuit‑breaker control, bay‑level interlock logic and trip‑circuit supervision.

True‑RMS high‑accuracy measurement for current, voltage, active/reactive power, energy and frequency.

Event sequence logging, COMTRADE fault disturbance recording and multiple setting‑group management.

User‑configurable programmable logic for custom interlock and alarm functions.

Continuous hardware self‑diagnosis detects internal faults and outputs alarm signals to local HMI and upper‑level station control system.

Configuration and commissioning are completed via CAP501 / CAP505 engineering softwareeero.

Installation Requirement

Installed in 19‑inch standard rack inside substation protection cabinet. Strictly follow CT/VT polarity for secondary wiring, avoid CT secondary open‑circuit hazard. Auxiliary power supply shall be kept within rated voltage range. After unit replacement, download complete project configuration file. Perform protection‑logic verification test, breaker trip‑close loop test, binary input/output point‑to‑point signal test and communication validation with SCADA system. Confirm no hardware self‑diagnosis fault alarms.

Typical Application Scenarios

Medium‑voltage incoming‑feeder, outgoing‑feeder protection for power plants, industrial plants and utility distribution substations. Also suitable for medium‑voltage motor protection, can act as backup protection for transformer baysABB Group.

Key Features
  1. Legacy multifunction feeder protection relay, compact rack‑mount structure for secondary cabinet installation.
  2. Comprehensive protection function library, applicable for both distribution feeders and medium‑voltage motor protection occasions.
  3. Built‑in programmable logic function, flexible to realize custom interlock and alarm logic.
  4. Integrated true‑RMS measurement, time‑stamped event logging and COMTRADE disturbance recording functions.
  5. Multiple industrial communication protocols supported for connecting to substation automation systems.
