The SIPROTEC 4 breaker management relay 7VK61 is a highly flexible autorecloser, synchro-check, and circuit breaker failure protection unit. This unit is used for the single and three pole auto-reclosure of a circuit-breaker after this circuit breaker has tripped due to a fault.The synchro-check function ensures that the two circuits being reconnected by closing the circuit-breaker are within a defined safe operating state before the CLOSE command is issued.The 7VK61 is also applicable as circuit breaker failure protection. A breaker failure occurs when the circuit-breaker fails to correctly open and clear the fault after single or three-pole trip commands have been issued by the protection.It is then necessary to trip the relevant busbar zone (section) to ensure fault clearance. Together with the above-mentioned protection functions, the following additional functions of the 7VK61 can be applied: end-fault protection, pole-discrepancy protection, overvoltage protection and under voltage protection. As a member of the numerical SIPROTEC 4 relay family, it also provides control and monitoring functions and therefore supports the user with regard to a cost-effective power system management.
