Hitachi Energy ABB RED670 Transmission Line Differential Protection

The RED670 IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) is designed to protect, monitor and control overhead lines and cables. In addition, the IED is capable of handling transformer feeders, generators and transformer blocks.

It offers a wide range of features including configuration opportunities and expandable hardware to meet your specific requirements.

The RED670 IED is delivered pre-configured, type-tested and with default parameters set for fast and efficient commissioning.

These IEDs are equipped with full functionality for single or multi-breaker arrangements with single- or three-phase tripping.

They can also be easily adapted to meet the specific requirements of the power system if required. Wide application flexibility makes these IEDs an excellent choice for both new and retrofit installations.

The RED670 IED features phase-isolated current differential protection with excellent sensitivity to high-resistance faults and safe phase selection for up to five line terminals. 

Two or three winding power transformers can be included in the protection zone.
