REF542plus – Hardware Structure Hardware

REF542plus is composed of 2 parts: Base Unit and LD HMI

ˆ High flexibility due to separation of HMI and Base Unit
– Blind Unit (without HMI) possible
– One HMI shared for several Base Units
ˆ HMI easy integration on panel front door
ˆ Base Unit easy integration in low voltage cubicle
ˆ Independent operation of Base Unit and HMI
– HMI can be disconnected without affecting Base Unit operation

Base Unit LD HMI: Local Detached Human

CT means input for current transformer (CT2 is the 0.2A input). The instrument CT CT CT CT CT CT CT VT
transformer can have ratio /1 or /5 . The ratio and the nominal current (e.g. 100/5) are S S S S S S S S

SI means sensor input. The rogowsky coil is used for current sensing. The correct ratio of

the rogowsky coil is selected by the configuration tool. The resistive divider is used for
voltage sensing. The ratio is selected by the configuration tool. The input is the same both
for voltage and current sensing, the selection is done via the configuration tool. So, it is
possible to use 6 rogowsky coils, or 6 voltage dividers, or 3 rogowsky coils and 3 voltage

REF542plus – Feeder Automation Applications

„ REF542plus equipped switchgear are a complete and effective system

for distribution networks.
„ Among others, the following automation sequences are possible:
„ Automatic switching from a double radial to a simple distribution system (ATS).
„ Performing manual switching by paralleling the feeders with the synchro-chek
function (25).
„ Motors shutdown upon temporary voltage loss/drop.
„ Prompt re-acceleration on voltage restoring within the pre-set time.
„ Motors restarting according to the pre-set sequence after voltage loss.

REF542plus – Integration in SCADA system Applications

„ Four different communication protocols are available.

„ REF542plus can thus be easily integrated in any SCADA systems.
„ Distributed intelligence architectures result in a high degree of plant automation to:
„ Manage different loads and plant configurations
„ Change and modify the power network distribution
„ Acquire measurements and status information
„ Advanced functions are also possible:
„ Primary parts status verification
„ Circuit breaker electrical and mechanical life analysis
„ Preventive maintenance plans
