Measurement of voltages and currents is necessary for protection. Currently sensors, delivering analog values, are directly wired to the protection devices. Since the relays in a substation are normally situated in a central building this wiring has to cover a distance. In an EMC critical area like a high voltage substation this demands high power signals resulting in big copper cables. For conventional instrument transformers this is proven technology.
SIPROTEC 7SC805 is a KEMA-certified stand alone merging unit designed according to the standard IEC 61850-9-2 process bus. The Merging Unit SIPROTEC 7SC805 digitizes the output of conventional instrument transformers synchronized to a time synchronization signal. The device converts the analog values to sampled measured value telegrams according to the IEC 61850-9-2 standard.
