COMBIFLEX®
Mounting and Engineering System forRelay and Control Panels.
2 ABB Automation
Build in the protection and security you need
The COMBIFLEX® mounting and engineering system
is a complete concept for engineering of relay and
control panels. Based upon this concept, complete
panels can easily be built.
COMBIFLEX® components can provide simple custom
logic circuits via auxiliary relays, timers and standard
functions.
Measuring relays e. g. for currents and voltage
provide simple and fast system solutions. In addition,
some of the special measuring relays available offer
characteristics not available with standard protection
terminals.
All our products, however, have the advantage of
being designed and developed specifically for integra-
tion with the COMBIFLEX® mounting and engineering
system. The COMBIFLEX® system offers several
advantages.
• Flexibility
Standard mechanical dimensions and connection
patterns. Availibility of all standard relay functions.
• Comfort
Connections are based on terminal pins and sockets
with ready made conductors.
• Simple transfer connection
Two conductors can be connected to virtually all
electrical points, making connection simplicity itself.
• Personal safety
All connection point are insulated for human
contact and all routine tests can be made while
system is in service and energized, and without
changing any connections.
COMBIFLEX® products
The revitalised range covers a wide spectrum of
products from measuring relays and time, auxiliary
and bistable relays to relay assemblies dimensioned to
meet forthcoming engineering requirements in power
systems and industrial applications. The full range of
new relays is presented on the pages 5-7 of this
brochure, and the range of available relays is shown
in the Byuer’s Guide catalogue.
Combitest relay test system
Even though modern microprocessor equipment has
built-in self-test and monitoring functions, it can be
necessary to use an injection test facility. This ensures
that all parts of the final assembly and overall system
work exactly as intended. The secondary injection test
facility can also be used to enable the relay system to
receive a simulated or recorded power system event
in “play-back” mode. This permits testing of cases
which may have caused confusion or concern in relay
operation or lack of operation. Numerical play-back is
further facilitated using test system simulation software.

be used stand alone in the form of measuring relays
for different applications, separate logic circuits as
well as comprehensive protective assemblies for a
variety of protection purposes. COMBIFLEX® is also
compatible with components used for testing,
connection and designation purposes.
A part of the ABB SA Concept
The COMBIFLEX® system is built for the future: new
technology provides new and additional functionality
and complements the other microprocessor protective
relay and control equipment families, for example the
500-series. The COMBIFLEX® system is an integrated
part of the overall ABB SA concept for integrated IT-
solutions for the power industry. The reliability of the
COMBIFLEX® system is documented through 25 years
of use in many different environments, including
nuclear power applications.
COMBIFLEX® environment
The 500-series represents terminals for line distance,
differential, transformer protection as well as bay
lever control. These protection terminals are often
integrated with separate relays for backup measurement,
trip functions or contact replication. The terminals
combine easily with COMBIFLEX® auxiliary equipment
such as test switches, auxiliary tripping relays, lock-out
relays and other units in the design of complete
protection and control cubicles.
The COMBIFLEX® range covers products which may
Mounting and Engineering System with
overall coordination and integration
With the introduction of the 500-series protection, monitoring
and control equipment, each protection system offers a wide
range of internal flexibility. By utilising various combinations of
additional COMBIFLEX® modular options the same basic
product can be used in a wide variety of applications, mounted
in 19" racks, panels or walls.
The RAHx/RXHx 4xx-series of numerical products are
intended for general power system applications and as
back-up to 500-series terminals for all system voltage
levels including EHV. The relays are also suitable for
retrofit of installations using static or electromechanical
designs. Several mounting alternatives are available;
19" racks, panel mounting cases and DIN-rail adapters.
Ease of handling is an added benefit as well as the
easy integration with all other relays and test switches
of COMBIFLEX® design.

Connection system
The COMBIFLEX® connection system has been used over many decades and
has shown itself as a very reliable system, combining flexibility with installation
convenience. It is used for wiring panels and rack-mounting assemblies which
require dual snap-in terminals for each electrical point. Moreover, the terminals
are insulated from human contact, enhancing personnel safety. Safety is further
improved by the fact that all the terminals are locked in place. This connection system
lends itself to CAD-design as a tool when creating new relay and control systems.
Designation system
The COMBIFLEX® designation system is part of the invisible mounting
and engineering system which nobody sees in everyday work but
which would be immediately noticeable if it was missing. The
designation system is the backbone of the process as it covers the
entire chain from marking of relays and other components on the
drawings to defining their connection points in circuit diagrams and
connection tables. This system facilitates computer aided design.
Mounting system
The COMBIFLEX® mounting system for relay equipment has been shaped over
decades of practical experience from assembly of complete relay and control systems.
The system is based on the 19" rack standard which permits simple combination
of products using the same international standard. It offers various ways of building
up the relay and control panels. All the minor details of COMBIFLEX® integrate
perfectly and form well-functioning panel designs.

New Panel Maounting Cases RGHP
The new RGHP panel mounting cases enables affordable cut out mounting of
indiviual COMBIFLEX modules in panels. Test switches, powersupplies, auxilary
relays and measuring relays of all types may thus be flush panel mounted. Any
relay type of COMBIFLEX® design can thus be mounted and used in existing
panels. Mounting in typical switch-board panel cut-outs is more affordable with
the new RHGP panel mounting cases.
New Retrofit Case for 900-series
A version of the size new case RHGP 4B is intended for mounting in the same cut out
space as the earlier 900-series relays made by ABB in Switzerland, e.g. the current
relays type IKC 9xx, IKT9xx, the voltage relays type UKT9xx and the Rxx9xx-series
etc. This is introduced to facilitate retrofit and extensions of earlier installations.
