Description
The busbar protection SIPROTEC 7SS85 is a selective, safe,
and fast protection against busbar faults in
medium voltage, high-voltage and very high voltage
systems with the most various busbar configurations.
Busbar protection devices SIPROTEC 7SS85 are part of the
modular SIPROTEC 5 series and their main function bases
on the principle of differential protection.
Additional protection and control functions extend
the scope of application to a comprehensive station
protection.
The flexibility of the functions and the modular hardware
structure allow an optimum adaptation of the 7SS85 to
the most various system configurations and functional
requirements.
Configurations
The SIPROTEC 7SS85 is suited for the following system
configurations:
Single busbars with/without transfer busbar
Double busbars with/without transfer busbar
Triple busbars
Breaker-and-a- half circuit-breaker layout
Double circuit-breaker arrangement and 1 or 2 current
transformers per feeder
Truck-type switchgear
Systems with combined busbars (optionally
main/transfer busbar)
T circuit arrangements (stub-fault protection)
H circuit arrangement with coupler or disconnection
Ring busbars
Meshed corners

Functionality
The busbar protection SIPROTEC 7SS85 encompasses the
following maximum quantity structure:
15 3-phase measuring points (current transformer)
2 3phase measuring points (voltage transformer)
22 bays (feeders, couplers, bus-section disconnections)
4 bus zones (busbar sections with measuring function)
4 couplers (with 1 or 2 current transformers)
2 auxiliary busbars (busbar sections without measuring
function)
Phase-selective measurement and display
Selective tripping of faulty busbar sections

Characteristics of the SIPROTEC 7SS85
Connector-independent check zone as additional trip-
ping criterion
Shortest tripping times (< 7 ms) for ensuring network
stability and minimization of damage to the system
Highest stability is case of external faults, also in case of
transformer saturation through stabilization with flow-
ing currents
Operate curve with freely adjustable characteristic-curve
sections
Additional operate curve with increased sensitivity for
low current faults, for example in resistance-grounded
networks
Only 2 ms saturation-free time of the current transform-
er required through fast recognition of internal and ex-
ternal faults
Use of closed iron core or linearized current transformer
within one substation possible
Adaptation of different current transformer ratio per
parameterization
Uncomplicated dimensioning of the current transform-
ers and the stabilization factor.
3 interdependent methods of measurement make possi-
ble the shortest tripping times
The integrated circuit-breaker failure protection recog-
nizes circuit-breaker faults
Various control possibilities, such as bay out of service,
or blocking of dedicated protection functions, make the
adaptation to operationally-caused special states of your
system easier
Optional 1/3- or 3-pole circuit-breaker failure protection
to trip all circuit breakers of the concerned busbar
section
Optional end-fault protection for the protection of the
area between circuit breaker and current transformer
Optional integrated over / under voltage protection.
Benefits
25 years of well proven and reliable algorithms
Easy adaption throughout the whole life cycle
User friendly full graphical engineering and online moni-
toring with DIGSI 5
Integrated Ethernet Redundancy Protocols PRP and HSR
allow high available Ethernet communication
