7UM62 is a numerical machine protection unit from the “7UM6
Numerical Protection series”. It provides all functions that are necessary for the
protection of generators, motors and transformers. As the scope of functions of the
7UM62 can be customized, it is suited for small, medium-sized and large generators.
It provides the scope of protection functions for the two typical basic applications:
•
Bus-bar connection
•
Unit connection

Typical Basic Connections
The integrated differential protection function can be used for longitudinal or
transverse generator differential protection, for protection of the unit transformer or for
overall differential protection.
The scalable software allows to use the device for a wide range of applications, as
function packages can be chosen individually for the application in hand. For instance,
one 7UM62 is sufficient to provide for reliable all-round protection of generators with
a small to medium output (about 5 MW).
Additionally, the device forms the basis for the protection of larger generators. By
adding a 7UM61 (further device of the 7UM6 protection series), all protection
requirements encountered for the smallest to the largest machines can be met. This
permits to implement a consistent concept for backup protection.
Further applications are
•
Transformer protection, as the 7UM62 has in addition to differential and overcurrent
protection a large variety of protection functions that allow, for instance, monitoring
of the voltage and frequency load.
•
Protection of large synchronous and asynchronous motors.
