Description

Product Overview

The ABB PPD113 PPD103B01 3BHE020455R0001​ is a high-precision, multi-functional power protection and monitoring relay, a critical component within ABB’s esteemed Relion® 615 series, specifically designed for feeder protection, automation, and control in medium-voltage electrical distribution systems. This advanced Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) integrates a comprehensive suite of protection functions, high-accuracy measurement capabilities, and flexible control logic into a single, compact unit. Its primary role is to safeguard electrical feeders, overhead lines, and cable circuits against a wide array of faults, including overcurrent, earth faults, sensitive directional earth faults, and thermal overloads. Beyond protection, the ABB PPD113 PPD103B01​ serves as a sophisticated data acquisition unit, continuously measuring and recording key electrical parameters such as currents, voltages, active and reactive power, power factor, frequency, and energy consumption.
This device exemplifies the convergence of protection and control, featuring a powerful programmable logic (CFC — Continuous Function Chart) that allows engineers to create custom automation sequences, interlocking schemes, and load-shedding logic without additional hardware. As part of the ABB Relion® platform, it supports seamless integration into modern substation automation systems via the IEC 61850 communication protocol (GOOSE messaging and MMS), alongside traditional protocols like Modbus and IEC 60870-5-103. For system operators and asset managers, the ABB PPD113 PPD103B01​ provides not only unparalleled security for electrical networks but also deep operational insight, enabling condition-based maintenance, power quality analysis, and improved energy efficiency. Its modular design, with options for different I/O configurations and communication interfaces (as denoted by the suffix codes), ensures it can be precisely tailored to meet the specific requirements of any industrial plant, utility substation, or renewable energy installation.

Key Features and Advantages

The ABB PPD113 PPD103B01​ excels through its integrated multifunctionality and advanced system integration capabilities. A core advantage is its comprehensive, ready-to-use protection suite, which includes not only standard overcurrent and earth fault protections but also advanced functions like sensitive directional earth fault protection for isolated or compensated networks, and a highly accurate thermal overload model for cable protection. This «all-in-one» approach reduces panel footprint, wiring complexity, and the need for multiple standalone relays, streamlining both engineering and maintenance.

PPD113
Advanced communication and interoperability are fundamental to its design. Native support for IEC 61850 Ed.2, including GOOSE for fast peer-to-peer communication and MMS for client-server data exchange, makes it a future-proof building block for modern digital substations. This allows the ABB PPD113 PPD103B01​ to seamlessly exchange trip commands, interlocking signals, and measurement data with other IEDs and the station SCADA system, eliminating hard-wired connections and enabling sophisticated, flexible protection schemes. The powerful PCM600 configuration tool allows for graphical logic programming (CFC) and easy setting management, significantly reducing commissioning time.
Superior monitoring and diagnostic functions provide unparalleled operational insight. The device acts as a high-class power quality analyzer and energy meter, recording detailed event logs, disturbance records (fault waveforms), and trend logs for key parameters. This data is crucial for post-fault analysis, identifying power quality issues, optimizing energy usage, and implementing predictive maintenance strategies. The large, intuitive graphical display provides local access to all this information, real-time measurements, and relay status, empowering field personnel. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation in the harshest electrical environments, from arctic cold to desert heat.

Application Areas

The ABB PPD113 PPD103B01​ is the ideal solution for the protection, control, and monitoring of medium-voltage (up to 40.5kV) feeder circuits across a diverse range of sectors. In industrial power distribution, it is deployed to protect incoming utility feeders, main plant transformers, and critical distribution feeders within large manufacturing complexes, chemical plants, and oil & gas facilities. Its directional protection and auto-reclosing functions are essential for maintaining supply selectivity and quickly restoring service after transient faults.
Within utility distribution networks, it protects overhead lines and underground cable feeders in primary and secondary substations. Its sensitive earth fault detection capability is particularly valuable for networks with isolated or Petersen-coil grounded neutrals. For renewable energy installations, such as solar PV farms and wind parks, this relay protects the collector feeders that aggregate power from multiple inverters or turbines, and the connection to the main grid. Its precise power and energy metering support power generation reporting and grid code compliance.
Furthermore, it is extensively used in infrastructure projects​ like data centers, airports, and hospitals for protecting medium-voltage ring main units (RMUs) and ensuring high power availability. Its communication capabilities make it a perfect fit for modern SCADA and Distribution Management Systems (DMS), providing utilities and industrial operators with real-time visibility and control over their entire electrical network.
