ABB REJ 603 Power Factory V001 Relay model description 3

1 Model general description
The ABB REJ 603 relay is a simple self powered relay. The ABB REJ 603 PowerFactory relay model is implementing all the
protective functions available in the relay; it consists of the measurement and acquisition units, the protective element, the
inrush blocking feature and the output logic.

Four subversion of the ABB REJ 603 PowerFactory relay model are available:

REJ 603-CT2 (for the 15-56 A Is range)

REJ 603-CT3 (for the 32-112 A Is range)
REJ 603-CT4 (for the 64-224 A Is range)
REJ 603-CT5 (for the 128-448 A Is range)

1.1 Measurement and acquisition

1.1.1 Available Units

The primary currents are measured by two current transformers (Ct-3p and Ct-3I0 blocks)
Two measurement units (Measure Ph and Measure 3I0 blocks) are fed by these CTs.

1.1.2 Functionality
The input signals are sampled in the relay model at 20 samples/cycle; a DFT filter operating over a cycle calculates the current
values used by the protective elements. Please notice that no info is available in the manual about the sampling rate or the
algorithm used to extract the 2nd harmonic. For this reason an implementation common in many protective relays has been
used.

1.1.3 Data Input

Please note that the nominal current (relay Is setting) value MUST be entered in all measurement units. The CT must have
transformer ratio equal to 1/1.

ABB REJ 603 Power Factory V001 Relay model description 4

1.2 Protective elements

1.2.1 Available Units

One 3 phase inverse time overcurrent element (I> block)

One 3 phase definite time overcurrent element (I>> block)

One ground current inverse time overcurrent element (I0> block)

One ground current definite time overcurrent element (I0>> block)

1.2.2 Functionality
The PF model contains all the protective elements available in the relay.

The inverse time overcurrent elements support the following trip characteristics:

Definite time
IEC Extremely inverse
IEC Very inverse
IEC Normal inverse
IEC Long time inverse
RI Inverse time
HR-Fuse
FR-Fuse

Note: the FR-Fuse trip characteristic equation parameters have been calculated to match the curve shape displayed at page
#30 of the relay technical references (see 4).

1.3 Inrush blocking feature

1.3.1 Available Units

The current 2nd harmonic is calculated by the Measure 2nd harmonic block and the blocking threshold is implemented by the
Inrush blocking threshold block.

ABB REJ 603 Power Factory V001 Relay model description 5

 1.3.2 Functionality
The transformer magnetizing inrush detection is implemented by second harmonic measurement. Please notice as no info is
available in the manual regarding the 2nd harmonic current threshold value blocking the other protective elements. A typical
value (15% In) is at the moment used in the model.

1.4 Output logic

1.4.1 Available Units

The output logic is implemented by the Output logic block.

1.4.2 Functionality
This block is operating the breaker. Please disable the Output logic block to disable the relay model ability to open the power
circuit.

The signal operating the breaker is yout.

2 Relay not supported features

The following features are not supported:

The transformer in rush detection is not completely supported due to the missing information regarding the detection
threshold value used by the relay. At the moment in the model a 15% In threshold is used.
