APP T400L: SEL-T400L Time-Domain Line Protection

APP T400L covers traveling-wave protection concepts with hands-on application where you will learn about the SEL-T400L Time-Domain Line Protection relay’s protection and fault-locating functions. You will also complete hands-on exercises to configure, set, and test the relay.
