Overall Operation
The SIPROTEC
®
4 7ST6, Numerical Overhead Contact Line Protection for AC
Traction Power Supply, is equipped with a powerful 32-bit microprocessor. All tasks
are processed numerically, from acquisition of measured values up to commands to
the circuit breakers. Figure 1-1 shows the basic structure of the 7ST63.
There are two different device versions, 7ST61 and 7ST63, which differ mainly by the
size of their housing and the number of available inputs and outputs.
7ST61 housing size 1/2 * 19“ with 4-line display, 12 BI and 22 or 27 BO
7ST63 housing size 1/1 * 19“ with graphic display, control keys, 38 BI and 36 BO
Analog Inputs
The measuring inputs (MI) convert the currents and voltages coming from the trans-
formers and adapt them to the level appropriate for the internal processing of the
device. Depending on the version, the device is equipped with up to 3 current and
voltage inputs.
