Voltage and Frequency Protection SIPROTEC 7RW80

The voltage and frequency protection SIPROTEC 7RW80 is a numerical and multi-function relay for connection to voltage transformers. It can be used in distribution systems, on transformers, and for electrical machines.

Basic Features

  • Detecting any deviation from the permitted voltage, frequency or overexcitation values will cause it to respond according to the values set
  • Can be applied for system decoupling and load shedding in case of a risk of a system collapse resulted from inadmissibly large frequency drop
  • Integrated load restoration function allows the power system to be re-established after system frequency recovers
  • Has flexible protection functions as it allows users to create up to 20 additional protection functions
  • Rate of change of frequency function or a reverse power function can be created
  • Provides control of circuit-breaker and additional primary switching devices (e.g. grounding switches, transfer switches, and isolating switches)
  • Automation or PLC logic functionality is also implemented
  • Integrated programmable logic (CFC) allows users to add own functions (e.g. for the automation of switchgear (including interlocking, transfer, and load shedding schemes))
  • Allows user-defined messages to be generated
  • Communication module can easily be replaced or upgraded to future communication protocols as it is independent from the protection
  • Undervoltage/overvoltage protection (27/59)
  • Rate-of-voltage-change protection (59N/27R/59R)
  • Overfrequency/underfrequency protection (81O/U)
  • Load restoration (81LR)
  • Jump of voltage vector
  • Overexcitation protection (24)
  • Phase-sequence-voltage supervision (47)
  • Synchrocheck (25)
  • Rate-of-frequency-change protection (81R)
  • Trip circuit supervision (74TC)
  • Lockout (86)
