ABB REJ603BB401NN31E Feeder Protection Relay Novo

Product Description

The ABB REJ603BB401NN31E is a self-powered feeder protection relay designed for medium-voltage distribution networks. It draws operating power directly from current transformers (CTs), eliminating dependence on external auxiliary supply. Therefore, it ensures reliable protection even in remote or backup installations where power may be limited.

Compact and robust, the relay integrates a local human-machine interface (HMI), providing intuitive push-button configuration, event monitoring, and clear LED fault indication. Moreover, its multi-function protection capabilities safeguard feeders against overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth-fault conditions.

Engineered for industrial and utility environments, the REJ603BB401NN31E allows seamless integration into switchgear panels. Its built-in self-supervision continuously monitors hardware and software, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing operational reliability. In addition, optional communication interfaces support remote monitoring and control, improving system visibility.
