Description
Product Overview
ABB RTD1 (1MRS050644) is an analog input module designed for ABB protection and control relay systems, particularly the ABB REF/REM/RET 500 series intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It provides resistance temperature detector (RTD) measurement inputs for monitoring equipment temperatures and integrating thermal supervision into protection applications.
The ABB RTD1 1MRS050644 module allows ABB protection relays to receive temperature signals from field sensors such as Pt100, Pt250, Ni100, Ni120, and other RTD-type sensors (depending on relay configuration). It is typically used for monitoring motor windings, transformer temperatures, bearings, and other critical electrical equipment.
The RTD1 1MRS050644 enhances ABB relay functionality by adding temperature measurement capability, enabling thermal alarms, trip functions, and condition monitoring in industrial power systems.
