Feeder protection plays a key role, enabling operators to prevent damage to equipment, minimize power outages, and ensure a reliable supply of electricity in medium-voltage distribution utility and industrial networks. Utility operators face a challenging and dynamic environment due to the. ring and metering in an integrated, economical, and compact package. As part of the Universal Relay (UR) family, the F60 features high-performance protection, expandable I/O options, integrated monitoring and metering, high-speed comm o detect high-impedance faults, such as downed conductor. ibution feeders into manageable line sections. Line sections are typically separated by primary switches, such as reclosers, load reak switches and substation circuit breakers. Each line section is provided with a possible alternative power source that typically supplies esidential or commercial. The comprehensive protection capabilities of SEL relays lay the foundation for a safer, more reliable distribution system. Fault location and event analysis—get your systems back online quickly, and find the root cause.

REF615 is a dedicated feeder protection and control relay for protection, control, measurement and supervision of overhead lines and cable feeders in utility and industrial power distribution systems, including radial, looped and meshed distribution networks, with or without distributed power.
