- Reyrolle 7SR46 provides protection, control, monitoring, instrumentation, and metering
- Dual powered overcurrent and earth fault protection for medium voltage applications
- High-performance protection from a cost-effective and user-friendly protection relay
Siemens is expanding its family of Reyrolle protection devices with the
launch of the 7SR46. Complementing an extensive portfolio of protection relays
for distribution and industrial grids, the primary application for the Reyrolle
7SR46 is to provide overcurrent and earth fault protection in medium voltage
distribution transformer stations. Mounted in a ring main unit, the protection
device detects cable faults on the network and operates quickly to disconnect
the fault. The 7SR46 dual powered protection relay is to be showcased at Enlit Europe, taking place in Frankfurt
from November 29 to December 1.
As the energy sector
races to meet the deadlines of the Paris Agreement, Europe is currently facing
an energy crisis: possible gas shortages, enormous energy costs and the
challenge of keeping the grids stable even in uncertain times.
Grid operators everywhere are looking for the best strategic approach to
speeding up their energy transition towards sustainability while at the
same time ensuring stability. But where – and how – to start?
There is no time to
waste: The increasing complexity of managing electrical grids needs fast
and sustainable answers, from planning through operations to
maintenance. The key to managing this intricacy is the convergence of
operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). By embracing
this new way of solving grid issues, power utilities are
able to turn complexity into competitive advantage – easy, fast and
at scale.
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure is leading the change. To get a glimpse of the involved
technologies, and partners, visit us on ENLIT 2022 in Frankfurt, starting Nov
29th until Dec 1st.
As every year there
will be keynote speeches, HUB sessions, product presentations, and most
importantly: think tanks to enable participation when it comes to tackling the
most pressing energy issues.
