Description actions
The 6MD63 bay control unit is a flexible, • Switchgear interlocking isolator/c.-b.
easy-to-use control unit. It is optimally • Key-operated switching authority
tailored for medium-voltage applications • Feeder control diagram
but can also be used in high-voltage
substations. • Measured-value acquisition
• Signal and command indications
The 6MD63 bay control unit has the
same design (look and feel) as the other • P, Q, cos ϕ (power factor) and
protection and combined units of the meter-reading calculation
SIPROTEC 4 relay series. Configuration is • Event logging
also performed in a standardized way with

Monitoring functions
For operation, a large graphic display with
a keyboard is available. The important • Operational measured values
