Siemens SIPROTEC 5 line differential and distance protection relays combine both main protection principles in one device. Distance protection stays active as a back-up if the differential communication link is lost.

SIPROTEC 5 models

  • 7SL82 – compact, non-modular device for distribution and sub-transmission lines
  • 7SL86 – modular device for transmission lines with three-pole tripping
  • 7SL87 – modular device with single- and three-pole tripping for transmission networks

Key functions

  • Line differential protection (87L) and distance protection (21/21N) in one device
  • Directional earth-fault protection (67N)
  • Auto-reclosing (79) and synchrocheck (25)
  • Breaker failure protection (50BF) and fault locator
  • IEC 61850 communication and fault recording

Typical applications

Critical transmission and sub-transmission lines where two independent protection principles are required, and lines where the communication channel may be interrupted.
