ABB REF610 Legacy Spare, Replacement and REX615 Retrofit Enquiries
ABB REF610 is a legacy feeder protection relay used for incoming and outgoing feeders in utility and industrial distribution systems. ARP IMPEX can assist with REF610 part-code checking, availability and export enquiries.
Description
ARP IMPEX supplies and exports ABB REF610 feeder protection relays for medium-voltage distribution systems, existing switchgear and feeder protection requirements.
REF610 belongs to ABB’s Relion 610 series and was developed mainly for protection, measurement and supervision of incoming and outgoing feeders. It is used in utility substations as well as industrial power-distribution systems, particularly in resistance-earthed and solidly earthed networks.
The relay covers the protection functions normally required on a distribution feeder, including phase overcurrent, earth fault, phase discontinuity and cable thermal overload protection. For overhead-line applications, REF610 also provides multi-shot automatic reclosing. Optional arc protection allows the relay to detect fast-developing arc faults in switchgear and busbar areas.
REF610 has a removable plug-in construction, which makes handling and maintenance easier in existing switchgear. It also supports several communication protocols for connection to protection and substation automation systems.
For ABB REF610 price and availability, send the complete relay order code, clear nameplate photograph, quantity and destination country.

ABB Relion 610 Series
REF610 belongs to ABB’s 610 series of protection relays. The family includes three main models:
ABB REF610
Feeder Protection Relay for incoming and outgoing feeder protection, overcurrent, earth fault and related feeder functions.
ABB REM610
Motor Protection Relay for protection, measurement and supervision of medium-sized and large asynchronous motors.
ABB REU610
Voltage Protection Relay for overvoltage, undervoltage and system voltage supervision in utility and industrial power systems.
ABB REF610 Replacement and Retrofit
ABB has an official Relay Retrofit Program for REF610, REM610 and REU610 to REX615. The program is specifically intended for replacing 610-series relays using REX615 together with retrofit connectors and the required wiring changes.
For REF610, ABB identifies the following retrofit program order codes:
- RRPREF610REX615C – REX615 supplied with pre-configuration
- RRPREF610REX615N – REX615 supplied without pre-configuration
This is useful where an existing REF610 panel is being upgraded rather than simply sourcing another legacy unit.
For an initial ABB REF610 replacement or REX615 retrofit enquiry, send:
- Complete REF610 order code
- Clear nameplate photograph
- Quantity
- Destination country
- Required delivery date
Additional panel and configuration details can be checked when required.
