Product Introduction
The ABB NRED-61-E (68262747) is a Divider Resistance Module engineered to work within ABB’s advanced control and protection systems. This module is typically used in voltage-scaling applications where high-voltage signals must be stepped down safely to levels acceptable for input to control and measurement devices, such as analog inputs on protection relays, PLCs, or data acquisition units.
As part of ABB’s Symphony Plus or Relion® systems, the NRED-61-E provides stable and precise voltage division using high-quality resistive elements that ensure long-term accuracy and low temperature drift. Designed with a rugged enclosure and industrial-grade components, it offers electrical isolation, high input impedance, and excellent linearity, making it ideal for mission-critical applications in energy, industrial automation, and infrastructure systems.
