Siemens SIPROTEC 5 digital protection relays

SIPROTEC 5

The current generation of Siemens digital protection relays: a modular family for protection, control and monitoring of feeders, lines, transformers, generators, motors and busbars, engineered with DIGSI 5 and communicating over IEC 61850

Price and delivery time are given after a technical review.

Overview

Overview

SIPROTEC 5 is the current generation of Siemens digital protection relays for medium-, high- and extra-high-voltage grids. Siemens describes it as a highly modular system that puts protection, automation and monitoring into one family, with every device engineered in one tool, DIGSI 5.

SIPROTEC 5 is the successor of SIPROTEC 4: in SiePortal a SIPROTEC 5 family is named as the successor of every SIPROTEC 4 family that was checked, except 7SJ66. The two generations use two tools, DIGSI 4 for SIPROTEC 4 and DIGSI 5 for SIPROTEC 5, and on line relays serial protection communication between the generations is possible.

Devices by application

  • Feeder and overcurrent: 7SJ82 (compact), 7SJ85 (modular) and 7SJ86 (backup for lines)
  • Universal: 7SX800 (compact, 1/6 x 19 in), 7SX82, 7SY82 (LPIT input) and 7SX85 (modular)
  • Distance: 7SA82 (minimum tripping time 19 ms), 7SA86 (3-pole tripping, 9 ms) and 7SA87 (1-/3-pole, 9 ms)
  • Line differential and combined differential-distance: 7SD82, 7SD86, 7SD87 and 7SL82, 7SL86, 7SL87 (7SL87 with up to 6 line ends)
  • Breaker management: 7VK87
  • Transformer: 7UT82 and 7UT85 (two-winding), 7UT86 (three-winding) and 7UT87 (up to 5 sides)
  • Motor: 7SK82 (small to medium motors) and 7SK85 (all sizes, ATEX)
  • Generator: 7UM85
  • Busbar: 7SS85 with the 6MU85 merging unit
  • Bay control and fault recording: 6MD85, 6MD86 and 7KE85

Protection functions

Functions are selected and combined from the DIGSI 5 function library and added to each device. The main function of each family is: transformer differential (87T) and restricted earth fault (87N) in the 7UT, distance (21) in the 7SA, line differential (87L) in the 7SD and 7SL, busbar (87B) in the 7SS85, overcurrent (50/51) and directional (67) in the 7SJ and 7SX, and breaker failure (50BF) and synchrocheck (25) in most devices. The ANSI number of each function in a given type must be read from that device's function table in the catalog or manual.

Hardware

According to a Siemens type test report (2018), modular devices (types XXX85, XXX86 and XXX87, such as 7SA86) are built from a 1/3 x 19 in base module that is extended with 1/6 x 19 in expansion modules; Siemens' profiles give a total width of 1/3 to 2/1 x 19 in. There are three designs: flush mounting with the operator panel on the device, surface mounting with an integrated panel, and surface mounting with a detached operator panel. The panel can have a large or small display with a keypad and 16 two-colour LEDs, or no display.

Non-modular devices (types 7XX82, such as 7SJ82) are a single flush-mounted 1/3 x 19 in module and take no expansion modules; XXX84 types have modular hardware but cannot be expanded. Plug-in modules cover communication (serial and Ethernet, electrical and optical), measuring transducers and arc protection. The compact 7SX800 is separate: 1/6 x 19 in with 4 current and 4 voltage inputs.

Communication

According to the 7SA87 profile, a fixed electrical RJ45 Ethernet port serves DIGSI 5 and IEC 61850 (reporting and GOOSE), and up to four optional plug-in communication modules provide IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 61850-9-2 (client), IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, DNP3 (serial and TCP) and PROFINET IO. Redundancy uses PRP and HSR (and RSTP), and IEC 61850 editions 1, 2.0 and 2.1 are compatible with each other. Cybersecurity includes role-based access control, logging of security events, signed firmware and IEEE 802.1X authentication.

Software and configuration

All devices are configured and set with DIGSI 5. Device functions and I/O are chosen with the SIPROTEC 5 configurator in the Industry Mall, and SiePortal offers several standard variants of each type under P1... codes. System version V11.00 was premiered on 7 May 2026.

Production status

SIPROTEC 5 is active: all nine articles checked in SiePortal were "Active Product". The detail is in the lifecycle section.

Features

  • Modular and non-modular: a 1/3 x 19 in base module with 1/6 x 19 in expansion modules, and single-module 7XX82 devices
  • A device for every application: feeder, distance, line and transformer differential, motor, generator, busbar and bay controller
  • Built-in RJ45 Ethernet port for DIGSI 5 and IEC 61850, with up to four optional communication modules
  • IEC 61850-8-1 and 9-2, IEC 60870-5-103 and 104, Modbus TCP, DNP3 and PROFINET IO protocols
  • PRP, HSR and RSTP redundancy and compatibility of IEC 61850 editions 1, 2.0 and 2.1
  • Cybersecurity: role-based access control, signed firmware and IEEE 802.1X
  • All devices are engineered with DIGSI 5, and display and diagnostics are available from a web browser
  • Three hardware designs: flush mounting, surface mounting with an integrated panel, and surface mounting with a detached panel

Advantages

  • Identical expansion and communication modules for all devices, which simplifies spare-part stocking
  • Continuous engineering from the single-line diagram to device parameters in one tool, DIGSI 5
  • Functions and hardware from the same family for different applications, which cuts training and part variety
  • Serial protection communication with SIPROTEC 4 on line relays, which allows a staged migration

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 7XX82, XXX84, XXX85, XXX86 and XXX87 types?

According to a Siemens type test report (2018): types XXX85, XXX86 and XXX87 (such as 7SA86) are modular devices and are extended with expansion modules. XXX84 types have the same hardware but cannot be expanded. 7XX82 types (such as 7SJ82) are non-modular: a single 1/3 x 19 in flush-mounted module. The compact 7SX800, at 1/6 x 19 in, is separate.

Which SIPROTEC 5 device should I choose for each application?

Feeder and overcurrent: 7SJ82 or 7SJ85. Line distance: 7SA82, 7SA86 or 7SA87. Line differential: 7SD8x or 7SL8x. Transformer: 7UT82 and 7UT85 (two-winding), 7UT86 (three-winding), 7UT87 (up to 5 sides). Motor: 7SK82 or 7SK85. Generator: 7UM85. Busbar: 7SS85. A simple feeder or motor with one device: 7SX800. The exact choice depends on the number of inputs, the functions and the grid voltage, and is finalized with the SIPROTEC 5 configurator.

Which protocols does SIPROTEC 5 have?

According to the 7SA87 profile: a built-in Ethernet port for DIGSI 5 and IEC 61850 (reporting and GOOSE), and up to four optional communication modules for IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 61850-9-2 (client), IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, DNP3 (serial and TCP) and PROFINET IO. Redundancy is PRP, HSR and RSTP. The 7SX800 profile lists Modbus client over RTU or TCP; read the full protocol list of each type in the catalog or the communication manual.

Can a SIPROTEC 5 simply replace a SIPROTEC 4?

SiePortal names a successor family in SIPROTEC 5 for the old SIPROTEC 4 devices (for example 7UT613 to 7UT85/86/87), but the Siemens pages do not say that housing, wiring and I/O are interchangeable. The housing and module structure is not the same in the two generations, the software is DIGSI 5, and how the settings are carried over has to be checked. In every project the inputs, outputs and protocols must be compared with the existing device.

Which software is used to set it?

All SIPROTEC 5 devices are configured and set with DIGSI 5; DIGSI 4 is for SIPROTEC 2 to SIPROTEC 4. DIGSI 5 Standard (for example P1X347 with 5 licences) is sold as a download, and an upgrade code (P1X471) exists for holders of DIGSI 4 Professional.

What does a SIPROTEC 5 order number look like?

A device is built with the SIPROTEC 5 configurator in the Industry Mall, so its code depends on the configuration. SiePortal lists several standard variants of each type under codes such as P1J350048 (7SJ85) or P1F1000115 (7UT85); only the 7SX800 was seen under a classic code, 7SX8000-3AA50-1BA0. A customer's exact code must be taken from the configuration or the device label.
