Complete Distribution System Protection—Apply a comprehensive mix of overcurrent functions for sensitive protection from phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground faults, and achieve fast operation for three-phase faults.

Reclosing Control—Program the relay four-shot autoreclosing function with synchronism and voltage check logic to mimic a variety of reclosing practices. Sequence coordination logic coordinates with downstream reclosers for a complete protection scheme.

Fast Substation Restoration—Commission automatic substation restoration schemes using programmable user interface controls and Mirrored Bits communications in conjunction with the SEL-2100 Logic Processor.

Reliable Breaker Control—Open or close the circuit breaker manually with the optional SafeLock trip/close pushbuttons, which provide direct control of the breaker independent of the relay.

  • Integrate and automate substation equipment, even devices from multiple vendors, with IEC 61850 communications protocol.
  • Replace older electromechanical relay schemes, control switches, and metering devices in outdoor breaker control enclosures.
  • Commission automatic substation restoration schemes using programmable user interface controls and Mirrored Bits communications.
  • Use the programmable control logic and integration features with a communications link for control and protection of remote substations.
  • Selectively coordinate with downstream SEL-351R Recloser Controls (applied on circuit reclosers) using a Mirrored Bits communications link for secure, high-speed fault clearing on distribution circuits and industrial cogeneration facilities.
  • Dispatch line crews to quickly isolate overhead line problems, and restore service faster using a built-in fault locator, as compared to patrolling the line.
  • Schedule circuit breaker maintenance based on need, as determined from breaker-monitoring data and alarms.
  • Analyze overcurrent protection system performance using built-in Sequential Events Recorder (SER) data.
