Line Differential Protection SIPROTEC 7SD80

The SIPROTEC 7SD80 line differential protection is designed for selective line protection of power cables and overhead lines that are up to 24 km for all kind of starpoint configurations. 

The phase comparison algorithm used is a fast and stable method for line protection in industry and distribution grids. During protection interface communication, copper wires, optical fibers or both in redundancy are used without external equipment over them. The wide scope of non-directional and directional functions can be applied diversely as emergency functions or backup functions.

Basic Features
