The IED offers directional and non-directional overcurrent and REF620 provides feeder overcurrent and earth-fault
thermal overload protection as well as directional and non- protection for utility and industry distribution networks.
directional earth-fault protection. Admittance-based, REF620 fits both isolated neutral networks and networks with
harmonics-based or wattmetric-based earth-fault protection resistance- or impedance-earthed neutrals. Furthermore,
can be used in addition to directional earth-fault protection. using the IED’s advanced inter-station communication
Furthermore, the IED features sensitive earth-fault protection, facilities, REF620 can also be applied for protecting ring-type
phase discontinuity protection, transient/intermittent earth- and meshed distribution networks as well as radial networks.
fault protection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection,
residual overvoltage protection, positive-sequence REF620 can be used with either single- or double-busbar
undervoltage protection and negative-sequence overvoltage configurations with either one or two breakers, and with
protection. The IED offers frequency protection, including numerous switching device configurations. It supports a
overfrequency, underfrequency and frequency rate-of-change substantial number of both manually and motor-operated
protection. The IED also incorporates three-pole multi-shot disconnectors and earthing switches, and it is capable of
autoreclosing functions for overhead line feeders. running large configurations. The number of controllable

20. Local HMI

The IED supports process information and status monitoring
from the IED's local HMI via its display and indication/alarm
LEDs. The local LHMI also enables control operations for the
equipment connected and controlled by the IED, either via
display or via manual push buttons available on the local HMI.

LCD display offers front-panel user interface functionality with

menu navigation and menu views. In addition, the display
includes a user-configurable two-page single-line diagram
(SLD) with a position indication for the associated primary
equipment and primary measurements from the process. The
SLD can be modified according to user requirements by using
Graphical Display Editor in PCM600.

The local HMI also includes 11 programmable LEDs. These GUID-7A40E6B7-F3B0-46CE-8EF1-AAAC3396347F V1 EN

LEDs can be configured to show alarms and indications as Figure 12. Example of the LHMI

include two separately controllable colors, red and green,
making one LED able to indicate better the different states of
the monitored object. 21. Mounting methods

22. IED case and IED plug-in unit

For safety reasons, the IED cases for current measuring IEDs
are provided with automatically operating contacts for short-
circuiting the CT secondary circuits when a IED unit is
withdrawn from its case. The IED case is further provided with
a mechanical coding system preventing current measuring
IED units from being inserted into a IED case for a voltage
measuring IED unit and vice versa, i.e. the IED cases are
assigned to a certain type of IED plug-in unit.
