Automated configuration using the DFR extension in acSELerator RTAC.

Configure in Minutes

With a streamlined DFR configuration interface, acSELerator RTAC SEL-5033 Software allows you to quickly and easily configure your DFR solution. Enter settings in a simple form to build your system within minutes.

Capture Every Disturbance

SEL advanced DFR solutions can stream and record continuous oscillography data at 3,000 samples per second. With 2 TB of storage, you can record locally for at least 10 consecutive days, so you never miss a system disturbance. Simplify root cause analysis of substation events through the SEL DFR:

  • Use event recording group functionality to combine device data into a single event report.
  • Download the data using the RTAC webpage report or automate record retrieval through the RTAC web Application Programming Interface.

With this resolution of continuous data, the solution can also automatically calculate and record energy packets for more precise measurement of energy flow under all system conditions.

Live continuous oscillography data streaming from the Axion to Synchrowave Monitoring visualization software.

Monitor Substation Assets and Networks

SEL advanced DFR solutions offer extensive asset monitoring capabilities that help you proactively manage your system. The flexible RTAC logic engine has tools and libraries available for monitoring CTs and PTs for impending failures, collecting breaker wear reports, auditing substation networks, and more. Process 3kHz oscillography samples in the RTAC IEC61131 logic engine for DFR application customisation.
