Siemens SIPROTEC 5 6MU85 Merging Unit – Process Bus Interface for Conventional and Non-Conventional Instrument Transformers
The Siemens SIPROTEC 5 6MU85 Merging Unit is a versatile process bus device designed for both conventional and non-conventional instrument transformers (LPITs). Based on the flexible SIPROTEC 5 platform, it digitizes all primary data directly at the process level, offering comprehensive bay and breaker functionality, backup protection, and advanced communication capabilities. Ideal for modern and retrofit substations, it enables secure, fast, and reliable data exchange via process bus technology
