Product Parameters

  • Manufacturer: ABB

  • Product Family: UniGear Switchgear Components

  • Model / Article Number: 1TGE120021R0010

  • Function: Bay Control & Monitoring Unit (often part of the REC 615 or similar system).

  • Inputs: Multiple binary inputs for status monitoring (e.g., circuit breaker OPEN/CLOSE, spring charged, compartment doors closed, earth switch position).

  • Outputs: Binary command outputs for controlling circuit breaker open/close coils and other motorized drives within the switchgear.

  • Electrical Measurements: Interfaces with current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs) to monitor phase currents, voltages, power, and energy.

  • Communication Interfaces: Typically equipped with industry-standard protocols such as IEC 61850 (MMS and GOOSE), Modbus RTU/TCP, and possibly PROFIBUS DP for integration with automation systems.

  • Power Supply: Operates from a standard DC auxiliary supply common in substations (e.g., 24-48V DC or 110-125V DC).

  • Mounting: Designed for internal mounting within a UniGear switchgear cubicle.

  • Environmental Rating: Built for the electrical substation environment with appropriate temperature and EMI specifications.

Advantages and Features

  • Enhanced Safety through Local Interlocking: Implements critical mechanical and electrical interlocking logic directly at the bay level, preventing unsafe operator actions regardless of the status of the central PLC.

  • Comprehensive Bay-Level Data Aggregation: Serves as a single point for collecting all status and measurement data from a single medium-voltage feeder, simplifying wiring and communication architecture.

  • Seamless IEC 61850 Integration: Native support for modern substation communication standards allows for easy integration into digital substation projects, enabling advanced features like GOOSE messaging for fast peer-to-peer protection signaling.

  • Improved Diagnostic Capabilities: Provides detailed local and remote diagnostics for the switchgear’s condition, aiding in predictive maintenance and reducing troubleshooting time.

  • Compact and Integrated Design: Optimized for space within the switchgear, reducing the need for external cabinets and extensive discrete wiring for control and signaling.

Application Cases in Application Fields

  • Industrial Power Plant Switchyards: Used to control and monitor the medium-voltage feeders supplying power to large plant auxiliaries (e.g., crusher motors, large pumps), with the ABB 1TGE120021R0010 providing data to the plant’s DCS for overall energy management.

  • Data Center Medium-Voltage Distribution: Employed in the critical power path to control automatic transfer schemes between utility and generator sources, ensuring power continuity to servers.

  • Renewable Energy Substations: Applied in the collector substations of wind or solar farms to control the circuit breakers connecting groups of generators to the main grid transformer.

  • Mining and Minerals Processing: Controls the switchgear feeding power to high-voltage motors on grinding mills and conveyors, where reliable local interlocking is essential for personnel and equipment safety.

Comparisons with Competing Products

Compared to similar bay control units from Siemens (SIPROTEC Compact) or Schneider Electric (MiCOM P5), the ABB 1TGE120021R0010 is part of a holistic system approach:

  • Switchgear-Centric vs. Generic: The 1TGE120021R0010 is specifically designed and tested for seamless integration with ABB UniGear switchgear, offering optimized mechanical fit and pre-defined functionality. Competitors may offer more generic devices that require additional engineering.

  • System Architecture: As part of ABB’s Relion® protection and control family (e.g., REC615), it shares a common software tool (PCM600) and philosophy with ABB’s protection relays, providing a unified engineering experience.

  • Functionality Scope: It focuses on bay control, interlocking, and monitoring. Dedicated protection relays (like the ABB REF615) would be used in the same cubicle for overcurrent and earth fault protection, whereas some competitors integrate both protection and control more tightly into a single device.

  • Communication Philosophy: Its strong emphasis on native IEC 61850, including GOOSE, positions it well for modern digital substations, aligning with offerings from all major competitors.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

  1. Confirm Switchgear Compatibility: This module is specifically designed for ABB UniGear switchgear. Verify the exact compatibility with your switchgear type (e.g., UniGear ZS1) and vintage. It is not a universal device for other brands of switchgear.

  2. Define Functional Requirements Precisely: Detail the required number of status inputs, command outputs, and interlocking sequences. The ABB 1TGE120021R0010 may be one variant in a series; ensure its I/O count matches your application.

  3. Plan the Communication Integration Early: Decide on the primary communication protocol (IEC 61850, Modbus TCP) for integration with your SCADA or PLC. Ensure your engineering team has the expertise and software tools (like ABB’s PCM600) to configure it.

  4. Coordinate with Protection Scheme: The control module works in conjunction with separate protection relays. Clearly define the interface between them, particularly for blocking signals and trip commands, to ensure a coordinated protection and control system.
