SIPROTEC 7SJ85
Feeder and overcurrent protection

Description
The feeder and overcurrent protection SIPROTEC 7SJ85 is
part of the new SIPROTEC 5 series of modular field devices.
With its flexibility and its high-performance DIGSI 5 engineering tool, the SIPROTEC 7SJ85 fits perfectly for protection, control, monitoring, and measuring applications in
electrical energy systems.

Applications
The overcurrent protection device SIPROTEC 7SJ85 is a
universal protection, control and automation device on the
basis of the SIPROTEC 5 system. It is especially designed
for the protection of feeders and lines.
Typical feeder and overcurrent applications are:
Detection of short circuits in electric operational equipment of radial networks, lines which are supplied from
one or two sides, parallel lines and open or closed
looped networks of all voltage levels
Detection of ground faults in isolated or resonantgrounded systems with radial, ring-shaped or meshed
topology
Backup protection of differential protective schemes of
all types of lines, transformers, generators, motors, and
bus-bars
Protection and monitoring of capacitor banks
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)
Reverse power protection
Load shedding applications
Switchover automation

Functionality
Directional and non-directional time overcurrent protection with additional functions
Protection of several feeders with up to 24 analog inputs
