Feeder Automation SIPROTEC 7SC80

The SIPROTEC 7SC80 feeder protection is designed to be used for protection and automation of medium voltage distribution feeders with grounded or low resistance grounded, isolated, or compensated neutral point. 

Basic Features

  • 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
  • Device and communication firmware can be upgraded via Ethernet
  • Key data (e.g. event logs, trip logs, fault records and statistics documents) required to operate modern substations are stored in the relay for users or operators
  • Provides all the functions for backup protection for transformer differential protection
  • Inrush suppression effectively prevents unwanted trips that can be caused by inrush currents
  • High-impedance restricted ground fault protection detects short-circuits and insulation faults on the transformer
