This is a three-day course.
Course Base Fees: $1,500 USD
APP 421 provides comprehensive application instruction for the SEL-421 Protection, Automation, and Control System. While working directly with an SEL-421, students will gain hands-on experience in communicating with the relay; setting its protection, metering, and monitoring functions; retrieving and reading event reports; and performing control functions.
Audience
This course is designed for utility and industrial protection engineers and power system consultants.

Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, students can:
- Apply the SEL-421 relay's protection, monitoring, metering, and control features, including current and voltage selection logic.
- Use the SELogic control equations with math and comparison variables in the independent protection and automation areas.
- Apply relay settings, program SELogic control equations, and analyze fault records and relay element responses using QuickSet.
- Analyze Sequential Events Recorder (SER) reports and use COMTRADE files.
- Implement relay-to-relay logic via mirrored bits communications.
- Map and retrieve critical analog and digital information in DNP3 Level 2.
- Select the appropriate Enable Source Selection (ESS) setting for required applications.
- Communicate with the relay via the front panel and HMI using its pushbuttons and associated LEDs, display points, target LEDs, and metering screens.
