ith the new, smart and cost- efficient combination of UFES and Relion, ABB extends its market leading portfolio for quenching arc faults with a
Due to rapid and reliable UFES fault
detection and the short switching time of the primary switching element, an arc fault is extinguished very quickly. UFES+Relion is suitable for new switchgear and for upgrades of existing panel in both MV and LV applications. It also helps to ensure a secure power supply and reduces production downtime. Relion already brings beneficial functionalities
Ultra-fast Earthing Switch (UFES) and Relion 615, 620 relay series, as well as the new all-in- one, digital REX 640 control and protection relay for the first time. The outcome is a low investment and simple upgrade for businesses currently focusing on arc fault detection, but at the same time requiring a higher level of arc flash protection for personnel, equipment and pressure sensitive buildings. The launch itself is the direct result of ABB’s
customer-centric product development and product improvement approach. The leading German manufacturer INEOS Phenol who, having already successfully installed the Relion protection scheme, sought a way to enhance arc protection safety even further with minimum disruption and little additional cost. Cue the first UFES+Relion installation, which is now available globally.
like advanced selectivity and event logging - and when used with its arc option in existing or new SWG projects, only the UFES primary switching elements and the electronic unit have to be added to complete the lineup. Light and sensor wiring is also limited to a single panel. In short, it takes minimum effort to install and is easier to maintain. UFES+Relion actively mitigates an internal
arc in <10 ms after detection, which means any thermal and electrical damage can be significantly reduced, along with mechanical impact on neighboring panels – for enhanced operator safety when compared to using only conventional or fast relay protection. Sami Raitakoski, global head of ABB’s
Control & Protection Products Division, says: “The industries we serve are continually evolving in line with key market drivers like
keeping safe in the workplace T
he compact HPAT400 HandyPAT from Martindale Electric is the perfect device for anyone who needs to check that electrical appliances are safe to use. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination, both
visually and with test equipment, of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. With its one-button test selection and backlit display, the HPAT400 is
very easy to operate and perfect for those responsible for checking and testing appliances. Users can perform a 500V insulation test quickly, and the device enables you to switch between different test voltages of 250V and 500V with ease. This is particularly useful when testing appliances with surge-protected circuits, such as sensitive IT equipment that requires a 250V test. Weighing just 700g, this lightweight, battery-powered, handheld PAT tester is also ideal for use in tight and hard-to-reach spaces. The simple connection diagrams permanently displayed on the
case body mean you can get testing right away. With a single button press, you can activate either a full Class I, Class II or lead test to ensure equipment is safe. The device displays clear PASS/FAIL indicators but doesn't show test values. The HPAT400 comes with an extension lead adaptor, an
earth bond probe with clip, 6xAA alkaline batteries, and a sturdy "test & go" carry case with a separate pocket for accessories to keep the HandyPAT protected and safe. The device complies with BS EN 61010 safety standards.

digitalisation, safety and performance efficiency. So that we can continue to meet the needs of our customers, our product ranges must evolve too. Our recent work with INEOS Phenol is a perfect example of this. While the business had already introduced our Relion technology at its Marl Chemical Plant in Ruhr, Germany’s third largest integrated industrial site, in order to enhance overall safety and operational reliability, it wanted to take it one step further. With the cost and complexity involved in the ‘traditional’ route of additional relays and breakers not an option, the UFES+Relion package proved to be the ideal solution. The end result is greatly increased safety, energy reliability and process continuity.”
