Relay Retrofit Program for SPACOM to REX610

Easy modernization for reliable and secure power distribution

ABB’s Relay Retrofit Program for SPACOM to REX610 offers smooth and controlled replacement of selected SPACOM protection relays with the latest addition to the Relion? family, the all-in-one protection relay REX610, representing the latest protection and control technology. The result is extended switchgear lifetime, full availability of relay life cycle services, and the possibility to adapt the power protection system to meet new requirements.

The functionality of REX610 corresponds to that of the SPACOM relays but can also be configured to include additional protection functions. As REX610 fully supports the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability of substation automation devices, the program also provides an opportunity to upgrade the entire communication system at the same time, to better meet today’s protection requirements. The program represents an excellent way to modernize the protection and control system, and to ensure increased productivity and efficiency through further improved reliability of power supply.
