Siemens Siprotec 4 SIPROTEC 7UT63 Protection Relay

The SIPROTEC 7UT63 Protection Relay and 7UT635 differential protection relays are used for fast and selective fault clearing of short-circuits in transformers of all voltage levels and also in rotating electric machines like motors and generators, for short lines and busbars. The protection relay can be parameterized for use with three-phase and single-phase transformers. The specific application can be chosen by parameterization. In this way, an optimal adaptation of the relay to the protected object can be achieved.In addition to the differential function, a backup overcurrent protection for 1 winding/star point is integrated into the relay. Optionally, a low or high-impedance restricted ground-fault protection, a negative-sequence protection, and a breaker failure protection can be used.

7UT633 features 4 voltage inputs. With this option, an overvoltage and under voltage protection is available as well as frequency protection, reverse/forward power protection, fuse failure monitor, and overexcitation protection.You can measure and monitor temperatures in the relay using external temperature monitoring boxes (thermo-boxes). Therefore, complete thermal monitoring of a transformer is possible, e.g., hot-spot calculation of the oil temperature. 7UT63x features full coverage of applications without external relays by the option of multiple protection functions e.g., overcurrent protection is available for each winding or measurement location of a transformer.

Other functions are available twice: ground-fault differential protection, breaker failure protection, and overload protection. Furthermore, You can activate up to 12 user-defined (flexible) protection functions, using measured voltages, currents, power, and frequency as input variables. The relays provide easy-to-use local control and automation functions. The integrated programmable logic (CFC) allows the user to implement their own functions, e.g., for the automation of switchgear (interlocking). You can also generate user-defined messages. The flexible communication interfaces are open for modern communication architectures with the control system.

Transformers are the most critical and costly assets in substations. It requires the best protection for its long life and reliable operation. SIEMENS Transformer Protection Relays takes best care of your transformers by providing the best technology by virtue of their years of experience in transformer and protection technology.

Various products offered by Siemens for Transformer Protection are 7SR242, 7UT61/62/63/65.
