SIPROTEC 7UM85

The SIPROTEC 7UM85 generator protection relay is designed specifically to protect generators and power plant units. It contains all necessary main protection functions and a large number of other protection and monitoring functions.

Its modular structure and flexibility, coupled with the high-performing DIGSI 5 engineering tool, allow the SIPROTEC 5 7UM85 to offer future-oriented solutions for protection, control, automation, monitoring, and Power Quality (PQ) basic.

It is also available with EN 60079-14 or Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik 0165, Part 1 (ATEX) certification for motors in explosive environments.
