Description
The SIPROTEC 7SA86 distance protection has been de-
signed specifically for the protection of lines. With its mod-
ular structure, flexibility and the high-performance DIGSI 5
engineering tool, the SIPROTEC 7SA86 device offers fu-
ture-oriented solutions for protection, control, automa-
tion, monitoring, and Power Quality – Basic.
