The ABB REF615C-D HCFCACABANB2BAN1XD is a next-generation IEC 61850-compliant feeder protection relay engineered for medium-voltage switchgear (up to 24 kV). As part of ABB’s Relion® 615 series, this “C” variant integrates advanced cybersecurity features with comprehensive protection functions, including directional overcurrent (67), earth fault (50N/51N), and arc flash detection (AFD). The ABB REF615C-D combines real-time fault recording with Synchrophasor measurements (IEEE C37.118) for grid visibility, while its modular I/O configuration (HCFCACABANB2BAN1XD suffix) supports 24 discrete inputs and 16 relay outputs. Dual Ethernet ports enable parallel IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE messaging and MMS reporting, ensuring <3>

Main Features and Advantages
Cybersecurity hardened: The ABB REF615C-D features hardware-based secure boot, role-based access (IEC 62351), and encrypted GOOSE messaging to thwart cyber intrusions. Audit trails log all configuration changes per NERC CIP.
Ultra-fast protection: Optical arc detection triggers zone-selective trips in <2>
Grid diagnostics: Onboard power quality analysis (THD, flicker) and disturbance recorder (128 samples/cycle) enable root-cause analysis. Synchrophasors monitor grid stability.
Engineering efficiency: Drag-and-drop logic in PCM600 software supports custom schemes. Plug-and-play IEC 61850 SCL files automate substation integration.
Application Field
The ABB REF615C-D HCFCACABANB2BAN1XD safeguards critical power infrastructures. Utilities deploy it for distribution feeder protection with GOOSE-based busbar blocking. Industrial plants use its motor stall function for crushers/conveyors, while arc flash detection secures switchgear rooms.
Renewable farms leverage voltage ride-through (VRT) capabilities for solar/wind grid compliance. Data centers utilize load shedding logic during generator transitions. Mining operations depend on its –40°C performance for remote substations.
