Overall Operation
The Voltage and Frequency protection SIPROTEC 7RW80 is equipped with a high performance microproces-
sor. This provides numerical processing of all functions in the device, from the acquisition of the measured
values up to the output of commands to the circuit breakers. Figure shows the basic structure of the device
7RW80.
Analog Inputs
The measuring inputs MI transform the voltages derived from the instrument transformers and match them to
the internal signal levels for processing in the device. Three voltage inputs are available in the MI section.

Voltage inputs can either be used to measure the three phase-to-ground voltages, or two phase-to-phase volt-
ages and the displacement voltage (e–n voltage) or for any other voltage. It is also possible to connect two
phase-to-phase voltages in open-delta connection.
The analog input quantities are passed on to the input amplifiers (IA). The input amplifier IA element provides
a high-resistance termination for the input quantities. It consists of filters that are optimized for measured-value
processing with regard to bandwidth and processing speed.
The analog-to-digital (AD) transformer group consists of a an analog-to-digital converter and memory compo-
nents for the transmission of data to the microcomputer.
