html{display:none} Line Protection | Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories

SEL transmission line protection relays provide subcycle line differential and multizone distance protection for a secure, reliable, and high-speed solution. Their fault-locating capabilities allow you to efficiently dispatch line crews to quickly isolate line problems and restore service faster.

Distance Protection Relays

These phase and ground distance and directional protection relays can be applied for single- and three-pole tripping schemes, compensated lines, or uncompensated lines.

Ultra-High-Speed Protection Relays

These ultra-high-speed transmission line relays built with the time-domain technology of traveling waves and incremental quantities are designed for speed, security, and ease of use.

System Components

Combining these components with line protection relays expands their functionality and simplifies testing.
