General
The protection relay REX 521 is designed for

protection, control, measuring, and supervision in medium voltage networks. Typical
applications include incoming and outgoing
feeders as well as substation protection. The
protection relay is provided with energizing

inputs for conventional current and voltage
transformers. Also a hardware version with
inputs for current and voltage sensors is
available.
Design
The protection relay is based on a multiprocessor environment. The human-machine

interface (HMI)1 including an LCD display
with different views makes the local use easy
and informs the user via indication messages.

Modern technology is applied both in hardware and software solutions.
1. HMI is referred to as MMI in the relay and in the

Relay Setting Tool.
The protection relay is part of the ABB Substation Automation system and extends the
functionality and flexibility of the concept
further.

Features (contd)
The main difference between the standard

configurations B01/B02 and standard configurations M01/M02 is the directional earthfault protection, which is included in the standard configurations M01 and M02. The difference between configurations B01 and B02,
and likewise between M01 and M02, is the
auto-reclosure function in B02 and M02.

Applications
Several standard configurations are available

for the protection relay. Refer to the REX 521
Technical Reference Manual, Standard Configurations for more detailed information.
The B01 standard configuration for REX 521
is designed to be used in single busbar systems using one circuit breaker for selective
short-circuit, time overcurrent and earth-fault
protection of radial isolated neutral networks,
solidly earthed networks, resistant earthed
networks and resonant earthed networks.
The B02 standard configuration is designed
to be used in single busbar systems using one
circuit-breaker for selective short-circuit protection, time-overcurrent protection, earthfault protection and automatic reclosing. The
configuration can be used in different types of
networks such as radial isolated neutral networks, solidly earthed networks, resistant
earthed networks and resonant earthed networks.
The M01 standard configuration is designed
circuit-breaker for selective short-circuit,
time overcurrent and directional earth-fault
protection of radial isolated neutral networks,
solidly earthed networks, resistant earthed
networks and resonant earthed networks.
The M02 standard configuration is designed
circuit-breaker for selective short-circuit protection, time-overcurrent protection, directional earth-fault protection and automatic
reclosing. The configuration can be used in
different types of networks such as of radial
isolated neutral networks, solidly earthed networks, resistant earthed networks and resonant earthed networks.
The H01 standard configuration is designed
circuit-breaker for selective directional and
non-directional short-circuit protection,
directional time-overcurrent protection,
directional earth-fault protection and automatic reclosing with syncro- and voltagecheck functionality.
circuit-breaker for selective directional and
directional and non-directional time-overcurrent protection, directional earth-fault protection and automatic reclosing.

for protection of large or medium-size threephase AC motors in circuit-breaker controlled
motor drives. Due to the large number of protective functions integrated, the relay provides a complete protection against motor
damage caused by electrical faults. The H07
configuration can also be applied to other
objects needing thermal overload protection,
such as power transformers. It can also be
used in applications requiring overcurrent
protection, under or overvoltage protection
and/or directional or non-directional earthfault protection.

phase-to-earth voltages. In addition, phase-tophase voltages are available in the measurement view.
The H09 standard configuration for REX 521
is designed to be used in single busbar systems using one circuit breaker for selective
non-directional short-circuit protection, nondirectional time-overcurrent protection, nondirectional earth-fault protection, overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection,
residual overvoltage protection, underfrequency protection, overfrequency protection
and automatic reclosing.
is designed to be used in single busbar systems by using one circuit breaker for selective
directional and non-directional time-overcurrent protection, directional and/or non-directional earth-fault protection, overvoltage
protection, undervoltage protection, residual

overvoltage protection, underfrequency protection, over-frequency protection and automatic reclosing.
is designed for protection of large or mediumsize three-phase AC motors in circuit breaker
controlled motor drives. Due to the large
number of protective functions integrated, the
relay provides a complete protection against
motor damage caused by electrical faults.
The H51 configuration can be applied to
other objects that need the thermal overload
protection (such as power transformers). It
can also be used in applications requiring
overcurrent protection, directional overcurrent protection, under/overvoltage protection, directional or non-directional earth-fault
protection, underfrequency protection and/or
overfrequency protection.
