About CAP505 Training

By /

Course Code: #530
Instructor: Dr. Saeed Roostaee
Training Format: Pre-recorded Video Course
Software: ABB CAP 505
Duration: Approximately 1 hour 47 minutes

Course Overview

Learn how to configure and manage ABB RE 500 series protection relays using CAP 505 software through a practical, step-by-step training program. This course covers project creation, hardware configuration, protection function implementation, I/O mapping, HMI configuration, disturbance recording, and downloading settings to the relay.

Using an ABB REF543 relay as a case study, you will gain practical knowledge that can be applied to other ABB RE 500 series relays, including REM543, REM545, REF541, REF543, and similar devices.
