ABB REM545M Machine protection terminal REM 545

The REM 545 machine terminals are used as the main protection system of generator and 

generator-transformer units in small and medium-power diesel, hydroelectric and steam power plants. 

The protection for large and/or important MV synchronous and asynchronous motors used, 

for example, in pumps, mills and crushers during start-up and normal run forms another application area.

The protection functions of REM 545 are designed for selective short-circuit and earth-fault protection of rotating machines. 

Unlike most other power system components, rotating machines also need protection against abnormal 

operating conditions such as over-current, unbalanced load, over-temperature, over-voltage, over and under-excitation, 

under-impedance, over- and under-frequency and generator motoring. 

For motor protection start-up supervision, there are also stall protection and cumulative start-up counter features.

Protection functions

Protection is one of the most important functions of the machine terminal. The

protection function blocks (e.g. NOC3Low) are independent of each other and have

their own setting groups, data recording, etc. The non-directional overcurrent

protection, for example, includes the three stages NOC3Low, NOC3High and

NOC3Inst, each with independent protection functions.

Either Rogowski coils or conventional current transformers can be used for

protection functions based on current measurement (overcurrent). Correspondingly,

voltage dividers or voltage transformers are used for protection functions based on

voltage measurement (overvoltage).

Technical Description

Functional description

Functions of the machine terminal

The functions of REM 54_ machine terminal are categorized as:

• protection functions

• measurement functions

• control functions

• condition monitoring functions

• communication functions

• general functions

• standard functions

The functions are further divided to two subsets that correspond to different

functionality levels (refer to section “Ordering Information” on page 91).
