Description
Product Overview
The ABB 3ASC25H208 DATX100 is a high-performance digital automation transformer (DAT) module designed for ABB’s Relion® series of protection and control systems, specifically engineered for medium-to-high voltage power distribution networks. As a critical component in substation automation, the ABB 3ASC25H208 DATX100 serves as a precision interface between conventional current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs) and modern digital control systems, converting analog electrical signals into high-accuracy digital data streams. This module is part of ABB’s initiative to modernize grid infrastructure, enabling seamless integration with IEC 61850-based digital substations and supporting advanced functions like synchrophasor measurement and wide-area monitoring.
The 3ASC25H208 DATX100 features a compact, rack-mountable design with advanced signal processing capabilities, including anti-aliasing filters, dynamic range adjustment, and real-time data synchronization. Its dual-core processor ensures low latency (≤100 μs) and high precision (0.1% class accuracy), making it ideal for applications requiring fast fault detection and precise power quality analysis. Compatible with both traditional electromagnetic CTs/VTs and newer 电子式互感器 (ECT/EVT), the module bridges legacy and modern substation technologies, facilitating gradual grid digitization while maintaining backward compatibility.

Main Features and Advantages
High-precision digital conversion: The 3ASC25H208 DATX100 leverages 24-bit analog-to-digital converters to achieve 0.1% measurement accuracy, critical for applications like energy metering and fault recording. A utility company using this module in a 110 kV substation reduced metering errors by 90%, ensuring accurate billing and grid loss calculations.
Seamless digital substation integration: With native support for IEC 61850-9-2 LE and FT3 protocols, the module enables direct communication with protection relays (e.g., ABB REF615) and SCADA systems, eliminating the need for analog-to-digital converters. A renewable energy microgrid integrated the DATX100 to synchronize solar inverter outputs with grid frequency, achieving a 5% improvement in power quality metrics.
Rugged reliability and flexibility: The module’s dual power supply and hardware redundancy (optional) ensure continuous operation during power fluctuations. Its wide input range (CT: 0.1–200% of rated current) and configurable voltage scaling make it suitable for retrofitting older substations. A mining operation in a remote location used the DATX100 to modernize its 33 kV system, maintaining compatibility with existing CTs while enabling real-time monitoring via a cloud-based platform.
Application Field
Power transmission and distribution: The 3ASC25H208 DATX100 is essential for smart grid applications, such as phasor measurement units (PMUs) in transmission networks. A national grid operator deployed the module in 220 kV substations to support synchrophasor-based stability monitoring, reducing fault location time by 60% during major outages.
Industrial and critical infrastructure: In data centers and healthcare facilities, the module monitors harmonic distortion and voltage flicker in real time, ensuring compliance with IEEE 519 standards. A Tier IV data center used its 4–20 mA analog outputs to interface with legacy power quality analyzers, while leveraging digital outputs for advanced analytics via ABB Ability™.
Renewable energy and microgrids: For wind farms and solar plants, the DATX100 converts CT/VT signals from inverters and transformers into IEC 61850-compatible data, enabling seamless integration with energy management systems (EMS). A 50 MW solar plant used this capability to optimize reactive power control, reducing curtailment losses by 3% during high irradiance periods.
