Protection Technology

SIPROTEC 7SL86
Combined line differential and distance protection

Description
The combined line differential and distance protection
SIPROTEC 7SL86 is part of the new SIPROTEC 5 series of
modular, flexible and intelligent digital field devices.
With its modularity and flexibility and its highperformance DIGSI 5 engineering tool, the SIPROTEC
7SL86 fits perfectly for protection, control, monitoring,
and measuring applications in electrical energy systems

Applications
The combined line differential and distance protection
device SIPROTEC 7SL86 is a universal protection, control
and automation device on the basis of the SIPROTEC 5
system. It is especially designed for the protection of feeders and lines.
Typical applications are:
Line protection for all voltage levels with 3-pole tripping
Phase-selective protection of overhead lines and cables
with single- and multi-ended infeeds of all lengths with
up to 6 line ends
Switchgears with breaker-and-a-half schemes
Transformers and compensating coils in the protection
zone
Detection of ground faults in isolated or resonantgrounded systems with radial, ring-shaped or meshed
topology
Serial protection data communication over different
distances and physical media such as fiber-optic cable,
2-wire connections and communication networks
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)

Combined line differential and distance protection device

SIPROTEC 7SL86 (housing width: 1/3 x 19 to 2 x 19)

Functionality
Minimal tripping time 9 ms
Main protection function is differential protection with
adaptive algorithm for maximum sensitivity and stability
even at different CT errors, CT saturation and capacitive
charging currents
Diverse distance protection methods as backup or main
2 protection available: Classic, reactance method (RMD),
impedance protection for transformers
Directional backup protection and various additional
functions
Adaptive power swing blocking, Out-of-Step protection
Recognition of static and transient ground faults (transient function) in resonant-grounded and isolated networks
Arc protection
Undervoltage-controlled reactive power protection
3-pole automatic reclosing function
