Course Information

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, an extremely flexible, high-speed relay for dual-breaker control applications used in multiple functions. Students (in groups of two) will gain hands-on experience in communicating, setting, metering, monitoring, reading event reports, retrieving event reports, and performing control functions working directly with the SEL-421 Relay.

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 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 interface, including pushbuttons and associated LEDs, display points, targeting LEDs, and front-panel metering.

Student Background and Knowledge
