1.1 Advantages of SIPROTEC 5
The devices in the SIPROTEC 5 series are based on the many years of experience gathered with SIPROTEC 4.
Extensive improvements have also been integrated. Take note of the differences between the modular and
non-modular systems.
The SIPROTEC 5 series is based on a newly developed, flexible modular system that is applicable to all the
devices. This results in the following advantageous new features:
•
You save time because of jumperless devices.
You can set the rated current ranges (1 A, 5 A) electronically. You do not need to open the devices to do
this. You can set the thresholds of the binary inputs by setting parameters.
•
The freely configurable, modular device design creates more flexibility.
You can configure your own device variants in addition to the standard variants. The modular system
consists of base and expansion modules, and optional plug-in modules. Thus, you can combine the
devices exactly as desired, and the standard variants are expandable. Devices with a size of up to 2-row
19-inches are possible.
•
You save time because of prewired terminal blocks.
The terminal blocks for connection of the relays, of the binary inputs and outputs and of the current and
voltage transformers can be removed and fitted again while wired. This enables the possibility of pre-
wiring in the cabinet construction phase. Device replacement is uncomplicated and is possible in a short
time.
•
You do not need to open the device to install and replace plug-in modules.
The slots for the plug-in modules are externally accessible. Communication modules and measuring-
transducer modules (for example, 4 x 20-mA measuring-transducer input) can be plugged in at these
plug-in module positions.
•
Operation is uncomplicated and intuitive.
For all modular devices, it is possible to select whether to use a large graphical display, a small display, or
no display. The non-modular devices are available with large or small graphical display. The key switches
on the expansion module can be selected optionally. The 9 function keys enable a safe and uncompli-
cated procedure for important operator actions.
•
Multi-colored LEDs ensure safe system management.
The 16 LEDs on the base module are 2-colored (green/red). Thus, the status of a signal (OK/disrupted)
can be shown clearly, for example. There can also be 16 red LEDs on each expansion module.
•
Up to 40 analog channels per device create a greater scope of functions than in SIPROTEC 4.
Thus, even complex applications such as the 1 1/2 circuit-breaker layout are possible.

For the central busbar protection 7SS85, up to 80 analog channels are possible.
