This application guide explains how to set phase angle compensation settings in SEL transformer protection relays for various transformer installations. 

Selecting Transformer Compensation Settings for the SEL-387, SEL-487E, and SEL-787 Relays

This paper discusses the protection of transformers with dual breaker terminals. It covers the compromises that often must be made between security and sensitivity of protection for this common configuration. The paper describes methods for designing transformer protection schemes and presents guidelines for selecting CT ratios and setting restrained and unrestrained differential elements for these applications. 

Application Considerations for Protecting Transformers With Dual Breaker Terminals


This white paper addresses the design considerations for modifying transformer protection at an existing nuclear station and the SEL equipment that can be used to implement that design.


An SEL Approach to Modifying Transformer Protection for Nuclear Stations

Engineers who need a comprehensive understanding of the design concepts and methods used in protecting high-voltage electrical substation bus and power transformers should take this course. PROT 411 provides an in-depth study of the methods used in designing protection for high-voltage power transformer protection and substation bus protection.

PROT 411: Substation Equipment Protection

This course is designed for utility and industrial protection engineers and power system consultants who want to gain experience communicating, setting, metering, monitoring, retrieving event reports, and performing control functions while working directly with an SEL-487E Relay. This three-day course provides hands-on application and settings guidance for the SEL-487E Transformer Protection Relay, used worldwide to protect and monitor a wide variety of transformers, including power transformers, generator step-up transformers, and autotransformers.
