Distribution
Feeder Protection
The comprehensive protection capabilities of SEL relays lay the foundation for a safer, more reliable distribution system.
SEL feeder protection solutions are ideal for:
- Fault location and event analysis—get your systems back online quickly, and find the root cause.
- Radial and looped distribution circuits—apply time-overcurrent, directional overcurrent, over/undervoltage, and frequency protection.
- Ultrafast fiber-optic arc-flash detection and mitigation to improve safety and prevent equipment damage.
- Breaker failure detection and enhanced breaker monitoring.
- Bay control with breaker wear monitoring and high-speed failure detection.
Flexible communications protocol options, including DNP3, Modbus, Mirrored Bits communications, and IEC 61850, let you configure a secure protection network.
Add advanced communications and automation capabilities whenever you’re ready.
