Permanent availability of electricity is essential for reliable production of a great number of processes in power stations and industrial plants where lots of inductive motor areinstalled. To achieve this, a busbar is normally equipped with two or more independent in-coming power sources to provide the possibility to switch to standby source in case of main source interruption or failure. 

The power supply interruption with tens of millisecond has small impact to rotating loads. Thus, the High Speed Busbar Transfer (HSBT) device helps to control and monitor the progress to ensure the fast but reliable switching-over. It can be initiated manually or automatically. 

Based on the existing world-wide used SIPROTEC 4 platform, the reliability, stability and efficiency of HSBT 7VU683 are guaranteed. Thanks to its powerful and flexible performance, multi functions are integrated into one system, e.g, power supply transfer, relay protection and supervision.

The integrated protective functions are to protect the tie-CB in segmented single busbar diagram against short-circuitand ground fault. The integrated supervision functions are to monitor the voltage phase sequence and voltage secondary circuit , then gives out alarm in case of failure. 

The integrated programmable logic (CFC) allows the users to implement their own functions. The flexible communication interfaces are open for modern communication architectures with control system.
