Motor Protection
SEL understands how critical it is to provide continuous, reliable motor protection. That is why SEL offers industry-leading products with the most extensive warranty. SEL motor protection relays give customers a custom-fit motor protection system with easy installation for both retrofit and new applications.
Advantages of SEL Motor Protection
- SEL products lead the industry with the highest mean time between failures (MTBF) (over 300 years).
- Ten-year warranty and best-in-class technical support.
- Easy application covering most protection functions. Low base prices with optional motor protection application add-in cards.

SEL-710-5 Motor Protection Relay
Protect asynchronous (induction) and synchronous motors with one SEL-710-5 Motor Protection Relay. New features include broken rotor bar detection and variable-frequency drive (VFD) support as well as options for arc-flash detection, differential protection, and synchronous motor protection. The synchronous option also includes, at no additional cost, a voltage divider accessory to interface with the motor excitation system. Together with the industry’s best AccuTrack Thermal Model, these new features combine to provide a great solution for all of your motor protection applications.

SEL-849 Motor Management Relay
The SEL-849 offers current-, voltage-, and thermal-based motor protection; arc-flash detection; and power metering. It also provides all basic motor protection features, including protection for the following conditions:
- Short circuit
- Load loss
- Load jam
- Frequent starting
- Imbalanced current
- Phase reversal
The SEL-849 installs easily inside a motor control center (MCC). The optional SEL-3421 and SEL-3422 Motor Relay HMIs (human-machine interfaces) install on the front of the MCC.
