The SIPROTEC 7VE85 recognizes the operating conditions automatically and reacts in accordance with the settings. In
“Switching synchronous electrical power systems” operating mode the frequency difference is measured with a high level of accuracy. If the frequency difference is almost zero for a long time, this is referred to as a synchronous electrical power
system, for which a wider switching angle can be permitted.

If asynchronous conditions occur, such as when synchronizing the generators, the speed is automatically adjusted to the power frequency and the generator voltage in an electrical power system. It is then switched, taking into consideration the synchronization in accordance with the circuit breaker closing time.

The 1.5-channel parallel switching function (synchronization function and synchrocheck) is provided for use in small to

medium-sized generators and in electrical power systems. This function is more secure than a 1-channel paralleling device and can also be used for synchrocheck applications. For larger Generators and electrical power systems with high safety requirements, the 2-channels parallel switching function is recommended.

In this example two distinctly independent methods of measurement decide on the switching conditions.

Furthermore, SIPROTEC 7VE85 offers additional current, frequency, power and voltage protection functions and many
other control and monitoring functions. As a result, the paralleling device offers synchronization and protection functions in a single device. With its modular structure, flexibility and the powerful DIGSI 5 engineering tool, the SIPROTEC 7VE85 device offers future-oriented solutions for protection, control, automation, monitoring and PQ basic.
