Product Description
SIPROTEC-7UT85
The SIPROTEC 7UT85 is a highly advanced, modular protection relay designed specifically for two-winding power transformers and autotransformers. This device provides comprehensive transformer differential protection along with a wide range of additional features that enhance reliability, flexibility, and system diagnostics.

Key Features and Benefits:
Powerful Transformer Protection: Tailored for two-winding transformers, with the option to extend to three-winding configurations. It also supports protection of phase-angle regulating transformers, special transformers, short cables, shunt reactors, and motors.
Versatile Application: Can be used for backup protection of motors and generators, short lines, voltage control of multi-winding transformers, and additional line protection (distance and line differential).
Advanced Differential Protection: Features include:
- Flexible adaptation to transformer vector groups.
- Inrush current and overexcitation protection.
- High reliability under CT saturation.
- Adaptive operate curve based on transformer tap position.
- Sensitive ground fault detection near the neutral point with separate restricted earth fault protection.
Engineering and Operation:
- DIGSI 5 Integration: Enables user-friendly configuration, operation, and monitoring.
- Modular Design: Provides maximum flexibility in protection and control strategies.
- Robust Build: Standard coating on modules ensures high availability even in harsh environments.
- Cybersecurity: Compliant with NERC CIP and BDEW Whitepaper standards.
Communication and Monitoring:
- IEC 61850 Compatibility: Supports Editions 1, 2.0, and 2.1 for future-proof communication.
- Reliable Networking: Offers PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) and HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) for uninterrupted communication.
- Virtual Network Sharing: Supports IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN).
- Secure Long-Distance Communication: Via optical fiber, copper wire, and communication networks.
Power Quality and Measurement:
- PQ Basic Monitoring: Includes functions for detecting voltage unbalance, overvoltages, dips, interruptions, TDD, THD, and harmonics.
- Operational Analysis Tools: Real-time capturing of measured and protection values for commissioning, evaluation, and fault analysis.
- Frequency Tracking: Protection functions operate across a wide frequency range (10 Hz – 90 Hz) with the ability to assign them to independent frequency tracking groups.
- PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit): Enables synchrophasor measurements using the IEEE C37.118 protocol.
Additional Functionalities:
- Arc Flash Protection
- Dynamic Voltage Control (DVC): Adjusts voltage target dynamically based on the power flow direction.
- Voltage Controller (ANSI 90V): For two- and three-winding transformers as well as parallel grid coupling transformers with features like circulating reactive current minimization.
This makes the SIPROTEC 7UT85 a highly reliable and flexible protection device ideal for demanding transformer and grid applications where precision, performance, and resilience are critical.
