SIPROTEC 7SA87
Distance protection
[Link]/siprotec
Description
The SIPROTEC 7SA87 distance protection has specifically
been designed for the protection of lines. With its modular
structure, flexibility and the powerful DIGSI 5 engineering
tool, the SIPROTEC 7SA87 device offers future-oriented
system solutions with high investment security and low
operating costs.
