Application

Wide range of applications

The SIPROTEC 7SJ600 is a numerical
overcurrent relay which, in addition to its
primary use in radial distribution networks
and motor protection, can also be em-
ployed as backup for feeder, transformer
and generator differential protection.
The SIPROTEC 7SJ600 provides defi-
nite-time and inverse-time overcurrent
protection along with overload and nega-
tive-sequence protection for a very com-
prehensive relay package. In this way,
equipment such as motors can be pro-
tected against asymmetric and excessive
loading. Asymmetric short-circuits with
5 currents that can be smaller than the larg-
est possible load currents or phase inter-
ruptions are reliably detected.
The integrated control function allows Fig. 5/20 Function diagram
simple control of a circuit-breaker or
disconnector (electrically operated/motor-
ized switch) via the integrated HMI,
DIGSI 3 or DIGSI 4 (≥ 4.3) or SCADA

Protection functions

Switch-onto-fault protection
If switched onto a fault, instantaneous trip-
ping can be effected. If the internal control
function is used (local or via serial inter-
face), the manual closing function is avail-
able without any additional wiring. If the
control switch is connected to a circuit-
breaker bypassing the internal control
function, manual detection using a binary
input is implemented.

Busbar protection
(Reverse interlocking)
Binary inputs can be used to block any of
the six current stages. Parameters are as-
signed to decide whether the input circuit
is to operate in open-circuit or closed-cir-
5
cuit mode. In this case, reverse interlocking
provides high-speed busbar protection in
radial or ring power systems that are
opened at one point. The reverse inter-
locking principle is used, for example,
in medium-voltage power systems and
in switchgear for power plants, where a
high-voltage system transformer feeds
a busbar section with several medium-
voltage outgoing feeders. Fig. 5/25 Reverse interlocking

Motor protection Features

For short-circuit protection, e.g. elements

I>> (50) and IE (50N) are available. The
stator is protected against thermal overload
by ϑs> (49), the rotor by I2> (46), starting
time supervision (48).

Motor starting time supervision (ANSI 48)

The start-up monitor protects the motor
against excessively long starting. This can
occur, for example, if the rotor is blocked,
if excessive voltage drops occur when the
motor is switched on or if excessive load Fig. 5/26 Wiring communication
