Description
ABB REG670 (1MRK002826-AG) — Protection Relay
Product: REG670 — Relion® Protection Relay
Manufacturer: ABB
Order Code: 1MRK002826-AG
Primary Application: A numerical protection relay designed for the protection, automation, and control of transmission lines, cables, busbars, and power transformers in high-voltage and extra-high-voltage networks. It serves as a bay controller offering both primary and backup protection.
1. Core Overview & Positioning
The ABB REG670 is a flagship device within the Relion® 670 series, representing ABB’s advanced technology in numerical protection. It is a versatile, multifunctional relay engineered for the highest reliability and complex protection schemes in transmission and sub-transmission grids. The order code suffix -AG typically defines a specific hardware configuration, standard function package, and communication option set.
Key Value Proposition: It consolidates multiple advanced protection functions (like line differential and distance protection) into a single device, reducing panel space while offering superior system integration through robust communication and automation capabilities.
2. Key Protection & Control Functions
-
Transmission Line Protection:

Line Differential Protection (LDIF/LDPL): High-speed, sensitive unit protection as the primary scheme, using IEC 61850-9-2 LE sampled values or traditional communication channels.
-
Ground-Fault Protection (EF/NS).
-
Auto-Reclosing (SMBRREC): Supports various reclosing schemes (single-phase, three-phase, integrated).
-
-
Power Transformer Protection:
-
Differential Protection (T2WPDIF): Includes harmonic restraint and inrush detection.
-
Over-Excitation Protection (V/Hz).
-
Backup Protection: Overcurrent, restricted earth fault, overload protection.
