Siemens innovates with new sensor bushing, protection and indication devices

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has expanded its industry-leading medium voltage portfolio with a sustainable and intelligent solution that paves the way for smart switchgear of the future, states the official press release. Due to its conformity with the instrument transformer standard IEC 61869, the SIBushing can be connected to the SICAM FCM plus (Feeder Condition Monitor), a multi-functional, short-circuit and earth-fault indicator which uses detection algorithms to indicate the direction of the cable fault. Applicable for medium voltage distribution systems up to 36kV, the SICAM FCM plus with SIBushing delivers unrivaled transparency and high-precision measurement of distribution systems, resulting also in the consumption of significantly less power, compared to conventional instrument transformer technologies.

Another innovation is the SIPROTEC 7SY82, a multifunctional protection device with LPIT inputs. This universal protection device joins the renowned SIPROTEC 5 product family of field devices for protection, control, monitoring, and measuring applications in electrical energy systems. 

The SIBushing with SICAM FCM plus and SIPROTEC 7SY82 are to be showcased at the upcoming Hannover Messe, taking place from April 17th to 21st.
