Disclaimer
The data, examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for the concept or
product description and are not to be deemed as a statement of guaranteed properties.
All persons responsible for applying the equipment addressed in this manual must
satisfy themselves that each intended application is suitable and acceptable, including
that any applicable safety or other operational requirements are complied with. In
particular, any risks in applications where a system failure and/or product failure
would create a risk for harm to property or persons (including but not limited to
personal injuries or death) shall be the sole responsibility of the person or entity
applying the equipment, and those so responsible are hereby requested to ensure that
all measures are taken to exclude or mitigate such risks.
This product has been designed to be connected and communicate data and
information via a network interface which should be connected to a secure network.
It is the sole responsibility of the person or entity responsible for network
administration to ensure a secure connection to the network and to take the necessary
measures (such as, but not limited to, installation of firewalls, application of
authentication measures, encryption of data, installation of anti virus programs, etc.)
to protect the product and the network, its system and interface included, against any
kind of security breaches, unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage and/or
theft of data or information. ABB is not liable for any such damages and/or losses.
This document has been carefully checked by ABB but deviations cannot be
completely ruled out. In case any errors are detected, the reader is kindly requested to
notify the manufacturer. Other than under explicit contractual commitments, in no
event shall ABB be responsible or liable for any loss or damage resulting from the use
of this manual or the application of the equipment.

Conformity
This product complies with the directive of the Council of the European Communities
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) and concerning electrical equipment for
use within specified voltage limits (Low-voltage directive 2014/35/EU). This
conformity is the result of tests conducted by ABB in accordance with the product
standards of the IEC 60255 series.

Safety information
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the
auxiliary voltage has been disconnected.
Non-observance can result in death, personal injury or substantial
property damage.
Only trained and qualified persons are allowed to connect and operate
RTB615.
National and local electrical safety regulations must always be
followed.
The frame of RTB615 has to be carefully earthed using a separate PE
connection point available on the RTB615 front plate.
When the plug-in unit has been detached from the case, do not touch
the inside of the case. The relay case internals may contain high
voltage potential and touching these may cause personal injury.
The protection relay contains components which are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Unnecessary touching of electronic
components must therefore be avoided.
Whenever changes are made in the protection relay, measures should
be taken to avoid inadvertent tripping.

Section 2 Relion Test Box RTB615
RTB615 is a test box for 615 series plug-in units. The 615 series IED can be withdrawn
from its original case and inserted to RTB615 for testing. The test box supports
periodical IED testing and commissioning of new or retrofit installations. It can also
be used for demonstration or training purposes and as a support during the engineering
phase. All the IED’s analog inputs and binary input and output interfaces are readily
available on the RTB615 front plate to connect to the secondary injection device, for
example, Omicron or Megger.
Both analog and binary signals of the IED, and additional test switches and indication
LEDs are available in the front panel of RTB615. The IED being tested can be
energized using internal power supply or an external 48 V DC power supply. RTB615
does not support the physical connections available at the IED’s communication card,
including possible arc protection interfaces, nor testing of them.

2.1 Supported 615 series IEDs
RTB615 can be used with selected IEC 615 series IED variants, excluding RED615.
Additionally, the REF615, REM615, RET615, REU615 and REV615 IED variants
where the hardware slot X130 is in use are not supported. The 615 series IED versions
Section 2 1MRS758004 B
Relion Test Box RTB615
8RTB615
Technical Manual

having sensor inputs (instead of conventional CTs and VTs), 5 VT inputs, RTD/mA
inputs or maximum number of binary inputs are not supported.
Due to mechanical interface reasons between 615 plug-in units and RTB615, only 615
series Ver.3.0 (D) onwards is supported. See the 615 installation manual for
information on detaching and installing the plug-in unit.
Composition change notification is shown on the LHMI after
inserting plug-in unit to the case. Press the ESC button on the IED to
continue working.
Inserting a non-compatible 615 plug-in unit into RTB615 results in an
IRF situation with the IED.

2.2 IED analog and binary interfaces
All the IED’s analog input, binary input and output interfaces are available on the
RTB615 front plate, to connect to the secondary injection and testing device. The
connections can be done using standard banana type insulated connectors. The
marking of the interfaces correspond to the markings of 615 series case rear
connections and the related IED connection drawings.
The terminals 1 and 2 in the terminal row X100 are not available in the
front plate. In the IED, these terminals are connected to the power
supply module. For powering up the IED, see the specific section in
this document.
The interface row marked with “X130” is a reservation for future
needs. The IED versions where X130 hardware slot is used are not
supported by RTB615.
The RTB615 connections towards secondary injection and testing device can be done
in the same way as if the IED plug-in unit would be in its original case within the
installation. Relevant circuit diagrams concerning the actual installation should be
used to determine analog signals injection terminals and polarities as well as the
expected binary input and output signals and corresponding terminals.
2.3 Masking plates
Masking plates are available for certain IED product variants of the Ver.4.0 FP1
release as an additional feature of RTB615. The masking plate is applied on the top of
the terminal rows and it exposes only those signals which are relevant to the specific
IED variant. The masking plate also provides references and functional names for the
expected signal types.

2.4 Test switches
RTB615 is equipped with eight switch controlled general purpose binary output
terminals. They can be wired to the IED binary input terminals to simulate process
signals connected to the IED.
The IED’s binary inputs' threshold voltage level has to be set
according to the used voltage level. The parameter is found in the
LHMI menu Configuration/I/O modules/Common settings/
Threshold Voltage.
2.5 Indication LEDs
RTB615 is equipped with eight general purpose indication LEDs with connection
terminals. LEDs can be wired to any binary output terminal of the IED to indicate the
concerned binary output status. Driving voltage positive pole (+ side) for the
indication LEDs has to be taken from RTB615’s internal 48 V DC source marked as
1MRS758004 B Section 2
Relion Test Box RTB615
RTB615 11
Technical Manual

48 VDC OUT. The indication LEDs' negative pole (- side) is permanently connected
to this source.
2.6 Power supply
RTB615 can be powered up using the mains connection or using an external 48 V DC
supply, for example, from the secondary injection (test) device. In case the mains
connection is used, the supply rating has to be 100...240 V AC and 50...60 Hz. Figure 5
shows the RTB615 internal connections in detail. DUT refers to IED plug-in unit
under test.
