Description

Manufacturer: ABB
Part Number: 1MRB150071M0001
Model Alias: REB500-BU03
Product Type: Basic Bay Unit (BU) for REB500 Busbar Protection System, Relion series
Product Overview
The 1MRB150071M0001 (REB500-BU03) is a bay-level peripheral acquisition unit for ABB REB500 distributed busbar protection system. It is installed in each switchgear bay to locally sample CT/PT analog signals and binary status signals from circuit breakers, disconnectors and isolators. Digitized data is transmitted via high-speed fiber optic communication to the central busbar protection unit for sub-cycle bus differential calculation and fault judgment. This distributed architecture reduces long-distance CT secondary wiring risks and improves bus protection reliability for high-voltage substations.

Key Features
- Distributed bay unit design, digitizes CT measurements locally to avoid CT open-circuit hazards from long copper wiring.
- High-speed fiber communication between bay units and central protection unit, ultra-low latency for bus differential protection.
- Supports breaker failure protection, disconnector position logic and bay interlocking functions.
- Comprehensive built-in self-monitoring for hardware, power supply, optical link and input channel diagnostics.
- Compatible with REB500 central unit, scalable for single bus, double bus and busbar sectionalized substation configurations.
- Supports IEC 61850 for substation SCADA, event logging and disturbance fault recording.
Application Scenarios
- HV / EHV substation busbar differential protection
- Power grid primary substation switchgear bays
- Combined-cycle power plant switchyard bus protection
- Heavy industrial power plant high voltage distribution substations
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Terminate CT/PT secondary wiring strictly following polarity requirements; wrong polarity leads to bus protection mal-operation.
- Clean fiber optic connectors before installation, avoid dust or scratches that cause high optical attenuation.
- Verify DC auxiliary supply voltage and grounding before energization.
- Perform fiber link health check and bay unit synchronization test during commissioning.
- Download disturbance records and event logs for fault post-analysis after busbar events.
- Confirm firmware version compatibility with REB500 central unit before spare replacement.
