ABB REF543 Feeder Protection Terminal
The ABB REF543 (REF 54 series) is a multifunctional feeder protection and control terminal engineered for medium-voltage power distribution systems. As an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED), it integrates protection, measurement, control, supervision, and programmable logic automation into a single compact chassis for switchgear and substation panel installation.
Protection Capabilities and Signal Interface
The terminal accommodates up to 9 or 10 analog measurement channels depending on hardware configuration, supporting continuous monitoring of current, voltage, system frequency (50/60 Hz), active/reactive power, and power factor. Hardware interfaces include 25 digital inputs and 18 output relays for breaker operation, interlocking schemes, and system protection functions including overcurrent, earth-fault, directional voltage, thermal overload, and automatic reclosing.
Control, Logic, and Lifecycle Status
Local operation is supported via a front-panel graphical LCD and keypad HMI. Internal Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) capabilities allow custom automation sequences and disturbance recording across analog and digital channels. Native SPA and LON protocols are supported directly, while IEC 60870-5-103, DNP 3.0, Modbus, and IEC 61850 protocol integration are achieved via dedicated communication adapters. Note that the REF543 product line has been officially discontinued by ABB since 2022.
