Siemens SIPROTEC 5 7SY82 Universal Protection Relay
Siemens SIPROTEC 5 7SY82 Universal Protection Relay Suppliers,Exporters in India
ARP IMPEX is a supplier and exporter of Siemens SIPROTEC 5 7SY82 Universal Protection Relays in India. We handle requirements for sensor-based medium-voltage switchgear, feeder protection panels, motor feeders, capacitor-bank panels, industrial substations and replacement of existing LPIT protection devices.
The Siemens 7SY82 is designed specifically for Low Power Instrument Transformers, commonly known as LPITs. Instead of using only conventional 1 A or 5 A current-transformer inputs, the relay connects to low-power current and voltage sensors used in modern air-insulated and gas-insulated switchgear.
Its universal LPIT input accepts different sensor technologies according to IEC 61869. These include Rogowski coils and inductive low-power sensors for current measurement, along with resistive and capacitive dividers for voltage measurement. The sensor method is configured through software, allowing one relay platform to work with several common LPIT designs.
The relay comes with eight LPIT inputs connected through four combined RJ45 ports. When combined current-and-voltage sensors are used, the first four ports can carry both measurements. Siemens also provides an optional adapter and test box for connecting separate current and voltage sensors and for secondary injection testing without disconnecting the LPIT measuring circuits.
The 7SY82 is not limited to one fixed application. Functions from the SIPROTEC 5 library can be selected according to the protected feeder. The relay can cover cable and line feeders, motor feeders and capacitor-bank applications. This helps switchgear manufacturers and industrial users reduce the number of relay and sensor variants they need to keep in stock.

Why the 7SY82 Is Different
A conventional protection relay normally requires CT and VT inputs with fixed secondary ratings. The 7SY82 takes low-power signals directly from compatible sensors.
This arrangement can reduce the size and weight of the measuring equipment inside a medium-voltage panel. RJ45 sensor connections also reduce conventional terminal wiring and make the connection between the sensor and relay easier to manage.
LPIT sensor circuits do not produce the same dangerous open-circuit overvoltage associated with conventional current-transformer secondary circuits. One sensor ratio can also cover a wide primary-current operating range, depending on the selected LPIT.
The universal input can help with retrofit work as well. Siemens states that existing LPIT devices, including sensors from other manufacturers, can be accommodated in many cases, subject to sensor compatibility and the availability of the required sensor data.

- Optional adapter and test box simplify commissioning
- Secondary testing can be completed without opening the LPIT circuit
- Two binary input and output arrangements are available
- Suitable for new sensor-based panels and LPIT retrofit projects
- Reduces the number of relay and sensor variants required for different feeders
- Importing and Managing LPIT Sensor Data
DIGSI 5 contains default information for commonly used LPIT sensors. During engineering, the protection engineer can select the sensor type, after which the applicable sensor data is loaded into the relay configuration.
Where a sensor is not included in the standard database, its technical and calibration data can be entered manually. Siemens also supports importing manufacturer-provided calibration data through the sensor identification information.
This is important during relay replacement because the 7SY82 must be configured for the exact sensor technology and calibration values installed in the switchgear. Matching only the relay model is not enough.
Applications
Siemens SIPROTEC 5 7SY82 Universal Protection Relays are used for:
- Sensor-based medium-voltage switchgear
- Air-insulated switchgear panels
- Gas-insulated switchgear panels
- Incoming MV feeders
- Outgoing cable feeders
- Overhead-line feeders
- Industrial distribution feeders
- Motor feeders
- Pump and compressor motor panels
- Capacitor-bank feeders
- Renewable-energy incoming feeders
- Solar and wind power connections
- Industrial substations
- Utility distribution substations
- Compact secondary substations
- Infrastructure power-distribution systems
- Feeder protection with Rogowski-coil current sensors
- Protection panels using capacitive voltage sensors
- Protection panels using resistive voltage dividers
- Existing LPIT relay replacement
- Conversion from conventional instrument transformers to LPIT technology
- Switchgear standardisation and panel modernisation
The 7SY82 is particularly useful for switchgear manufacturers building different feeder types around a common sensor and relay platform. Industrial users can also add motor, frequency or other functions when the feeder duty changes, subject to the available hardware and function-point licence.
7SY82 and Conventional Protection Relays
The 7SY82 should not be offered as a direct alternative to every conventional CT/VT protection relay.
The main difference is the measuring-input arrangement:
- Conventional relay: Uses standard CT and VT secondary signals
- SIPROTEC 7SY82: Uses low-power current and voltage sensor signals
Before selecting the 7SY82, the switchgear must already have compatible LPIT sensors, or the project must include the installation of suitable sensors. A conventional 1 A or 5 A CT cannot normally be connected directly to the universal LPIT ports.
For installations using standard current and voltage transformers, another SIPROTEC model such as the 7SJ82, 7SX82 or 7SX85 may be more appropriate, depending on the required protection functions.
