Product Overview
The ABB REF610 is part of ABB’s Relion® 610 series and is specifically designed for feeder protection, motor protection, and voltage supervision in medium-voltage distribution networks. Tailored for both resistance-earthed and solidly earthed networks, the REF610 offers essential protection functions including overcurrent, earth fault, thermal overload, and phase discontinuity detection.
Additionally, it features multi-shot autoreclose functionality for overhead lines, which is essential for maintaining system stability by automatically re-energizing lines after a temporary fault. Optional arc protection can be added to further enhance safety. The relay is also known for its plug-in design, simplifying commissioning and maintenance.
Its compact footprint and rugged design make it suitable for marine, offshore, and industrial environments where space constraints and reliability are critical.
Note: The REF610 was discontinued in 2017, but it remains in use across many legacy systems and can still be serviced or replaced with newer Relion® models.

Typical Applications
The REF610 is widely used in medium-voltage distribution substations, especially in the following applications:
- 
Feeder Protection: Protection for incoming and outgoing feeders in substations.
 - 
Overhead Line Protection: Featuring multi-shot autoreclose functionality to ensure reliability in the face of temporary faults.
 - 
Motor Protection: Provides thermal overload and fault protection for industrial motor feeders.
 - 
Marine & Offshore Platforms: Ideal for installations where space is limited, and ruggedness is critical, such as in marine or offshore environments.
 
Its modular design and versatility make it well-suited for retrofit projects, where legacy ABB equipment is still in operation.
