The SIPROTEC 5 series is based on the long-term field experience of the SIPROTEC device series and has specifically been designed for the new requirements of modern power systems. For this purpose, SIPROTEC 5 is equipped with extensive functionalities and device types. With the integrated and consistent DIGSI 5 engineering tool, a solution has also been provided for increasingly complex processes, from design through to the engineering phase, up to testing and operation. Thanks to the high degree of hardware and software modularity, the functionality of the device types can be tailored to the requested application and adjusted to the ever-changing requirements throughout the entire lifecycle. In addition to the reliable and selective protection and the complete automation function, SIPROTEC 5 offers an extensive database for operating and monitoring modern power systems. Synchro phasors (PMU), power-quality data, and extensive equipment data are included in the functionality. Powerful protection functions ensure the safety of equipment and staff Individually configurable devices save money on the initial investment and on spare-parts storage, maintenance, extension, and adaptation of your plant Arc protection, transient ground-fault detection, transformer control, and process bus can easily be integrated and retrofitted Purposeful and easy handling of devices and software thanks to a user-friendly design Increased reliability and quality of the engineering process High operational safety due to the consistent safety implementations Highest availability even under extreme environmental conditions due to the coating on the electronic modules Integrated switch for low-cost and redundant optical and electrical Ethernet rings Redundancy protocols RSTP, PRP, and HSR for maximum availability Efficient operating concepts due to flexible engineering of IEC 61850 Edition 2 Comprehensive database for monitoring modern power systems, also with IoT cloud connection Optimal smart automation platform for your power systems based on integrated Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) and Power Quality functions.
