SIPROTEC 7SK85

The SIPROTEC 7SK85 motor protection device is designed specifically to protect motors of all sizes.

Its modular structure and flexibility, coupled with the high-performing DIGSI 5 engineering tool, allow the SIPROTEC 5 7SK85 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.

Basic Features

  • Motor protection for motors of all sizes
  • Certification for use in explosive environments (EN 60079-14 or Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik 0165, Part 1, ATEX)
  • Motor protection functions: Startup time monitoring, thermal overload protection for stator and rotor, restart inhibit, unbalanced-load protection, and load-jam protection 
  • Stator and bearing temperature monitoring via temperature sensors with external resistance temperature detectors (RTD) unit
  • Differential motor protection as fast short-circuit protection for motors of high power
  • Sensitive ground-fault protection (non-directional and directional) to detect stator ground faults 
  • Directional and non-directional overcurrent protection (short-circuit protection) with additional functions 
  • Uses pulse detection method to detect transient ground faults
  • Protects from overvoltage and undervoltage
  • Arc protection
  • Configurable power protection (active or reactive)
  • Control, synchrocheck and switchgear interlocking protection
  • Up to 4 pluggable communication modules, usable for different and redundant protocols (IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 61850-9-2 Client, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, DNP3 serial and TCP, PROFINET I/O, and PROFINET I/O S2 redundancy)
  • Reliable data transmission via PRP and HSR redundancy protocols
  • Extensive cybersecurity functionality (e.g. as role-based access control (RBAC), protocolling security-related events, signed firmware or authenticated network access IEEE 802.1X)
  • Provides simple, quick and secure access to the device data via a standard Web browser to display all information, diagnostic data, vector diagrams, single-line diagrams, and device display pages
  • Captures operational measured variables and protection function measured values for the evaluation of the systems to support commissioning and analyze faults
  • Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) for synchrophasor measured values and IEEE C37.118 protocol
  • Enables powerful fault recording (buffer for a max. record time of 80 sec. at 8 kHz or 320 sec. at 2 kHz)
  • Flexible adjustment of I/O quantity structure within the scope of the SIPROTEC 5 modular system
