Description
The combined SIPROTEC 7SL87 differential and distance
protection has specifically been designed for the protec-
tion of lines. With its modular structure, flexibility and the
powerful DIGSI 5 engineering tool, the SIPROTEC 7SL87
device offers futureoriented solutions for protection, con-
trol, automation, monitoring, and Power Quality – Basic.
