ABB REC615 Current and Older Versions

There are two important REC615 generations that buyers may come across.

Current ABB Grid Automation REC615 – Version 3.0

ABB introduced the current REC615 platform in 2025. It combines the functions previously covered by:

• ABB Remote Monitoring and Control REC615
• ABB RER615 Recloser Protection and Control
• ABB RER620 Advanced Recloser Protection and Control

The current REC615 is available in standard and wide hardware sizes and uses modular hardware and software. Protection functions are selected through application packages rather than the older A, B and C standard-configuration structure.

Earlier ABB REC615 – Product Version 2.0.3

The earlier Remote Monitoring and Control REC615 was supplied with three standard configurations:

• REC615 Configuration A
• REC615 Configuration B
• REC615 Configuration C

These versions are still relevant for buyers looking for installed-base replacements or matching spares.

Older REC615 Configuration A

Configuration A supports conventional current transformers and voltage transformers.

Residual current can be derived from phase CTs or measured with a core-balance current transformer where sensitive earth-fault protection is required.

Older REC615 Configuration B

Configuration B supports conventional CTs together with voltage transformers or voltage sensors.

It is useful in grid automation applications where conventional current measurement is combined with sensor-based voltage measurement.

Older REC615 Configuration C

Configuration C supports combined current and voltage sensors together with a conventional sensitive residual-current input.

It was intended for sensor-based medium-voltage switchgear and RMU applications.

Current ABB REC615 Application Packages

The current REC615 version 3.0 uses seven selectable application packages. Buyers can select one or combine several packages according to the required protection and automation scheme.

APP1 – Current Protection Package

The current protection package covers the main protection functions commonly required for feeders and distribution transformers.

Functions include:

• Non-directional overcurrent protection
• Earth-fault protection
• Negative-sequence overcurrent protection
• Phase-discontinuity protection
• Thermal overload protection
• Circuit-breaker failure protection
• Switch-onto-fault protection
• Auto-reclosing

This package is commonly used for basic feeder protection, RMU circuit breakers and distribution transformer feeders.

APP2 – Earth-Fault Protection Extension Package

APP2 adds more specialised earth-fault protection functions.

Available functions include:

• Admittance-based earth-fault protection
• Multifrequency admittance-based earth-fault protection
• Wattmetric earth-fault protection
• Transient and intermittent earth-fault protection
• Harmonics-based earth-fault protection
• Fault passage indication
• Touch-voltage-based earth-fault current protection
• High-impedance fault detection

This package is particularly useful in isolated, compensated and high-resistance-earthed distribution systems.

APP3 – Feeder Protection Extension Package

APP3 adds functions required for more involved feeder and distributed-generation applications.

Main functions include:

• Directional overcurrent protection
• Directional power functions
• Neutral power directional protection
• Reverse power / directional overpower protection
• Underpower protection
• Voltage vector shift protection

It is useful where the feeder has bidirectional power flow or distributed generation connected to the network.

APP4 – Fault Location Package

APP4 provides fault-location functionality. This function helps estimate the location of short circuits and earth faults on the protected feeder, reducing the area that maintenance teams need to inspect after a network fault.

APP5 – Voltage Protection Package

APP5 covers voltage, frequency and power-management requirements.

Functions include:

• Undervoltage protection
• Overvoltage protection
• Positive-sequence voltage protection
• Negative-sequence voltage protection
• Residual overvoltage protection
• Frequency protection
• Rate-of-change-of-frequency protection
• Synchronism and energising check
• Load shedding and restoration
• Voltage presence supervision

This package is useful for RMUs, feeder interconnection, distributed-generation applications and networks requiring voltage and frequency supervision.

APP6 – Single-Phase Feeder and Recloser Protection Package

APP6 provides protection and control functions with single-phase operating capability.

It covers functions such as:

• Single-phase overcurrent tripping
• Single-phase earth-fault tripping
• Single-phase directional overcurrent protection
• Single- or three-phase reclosing
• Single-phase circuit-breaker control
• Single-phase circuit-breaker monitoring

This package is mainly relevant for overhead distribution networks and recloser applications.

APP7 – Automation Extension Package

APP7 adds network automation functions.

Functions include:

• Automatic transfer switching
• Recloser loop control
• High-impedance fault detection

It is useful for automated ring networks, RMUs, normally open points and schemes where supply needs to be transferred automatically after a network fault.

• Distribution transformer feeder protection
• Fault passage indication
• Voltage presence monitoring
• Automatic transfer switching
• SCADA control
• Power measurement

ABB shows REC615 applications with remotely controlled RMUs, including outgoing transformer circuit breakers and cable feeder switches.

ABB REC615 for Recloser Applications

The current REC615 also covers applications that were previously handled by ABB RER615 and RER620.

It supports three-phase and single-phase recloser operation and can be used with ABB reclosers including:

• ABB OVR-15
• ABB OVR-27
• ABB OVR-38

The required protection packages, I/O and actuator arrangement should be checked before quotation.

Remote Monitoring and SCADA Communication

REC615 can communicate directly with substation and distribution automation systems using several protocols.

Available communication includes:

• IEC 61850
• IEC 60870-5-101
• IEC 60870-5-104
• DNP3
• Modbus TCP
• Modbus RTU/ASCII
• GOOSE messaging

A radio, cellular modem or another external communication device may still be needed where the relay has to communicate with a remote SCADA centre over a wide-area network.

ABB REC615 Replacement

Replacement enquiries are an important part of the REC615 market because both the older Remote Monitoring and Control REC615 and the new REC615 platform may now be encountered.

The current REC615 is ABB’s replacement platform for:

• Earlier ABB REC615 Remote Monitoring and Control relay
• ABB RER615 Recloser Protection and Control relay
• ABB RER620 Advanced Recloser Protection and Control relay

ABB states that the standard-size current REC615 has the same mechanical dimensions and analogue/binary channel capability as the previous REC615/RER615, while the wide version corresponds to the RER620 size and channel capability. ABB also states that wiring adapters are not required for these corresponding replacements.

However, the old and new REC615 use different software concepts. The earlier REC615 used standard configurations, while the new version uses freely selectable application packages. The existing configuration, protection logic and communication should therefore be checked before replacement.
