SEL bay control and protection solutions monitor and control your substation’s mission-critical equipment and functions—including double breakers, reclosing, breaker failure, and auxiliaries such as air break switches, grounding switches, and more.
Complete substation bay control with high-speed breaker protection and simplified settings in one economical system. Flexible bus configurations provide easy status and control of up to 20 disconnect switches and two breakers.
A fully integrated, modular I/O and control solution. Choose a 4-slot or 10-slot base, and add communications and control modules to suit your needs. Whether your application calls for a remote terminal unit (RTU) or an ultra-rugged programmable logic controller (PLC), the SEL-2240 will be a good match.
When your substation’s secondary system—the low-voltage equipment that controls and protects the substation’s high-voltage primary equipment—uses digital technology instead of analog circuits to transmit data between the instrument transformers and protective relays, it’s easier to install and your substation becomes safer.
To help you achieve these benefits, SEL offers two digital secondary system approaches: our innovative Time-Domain Link (TiDL) technology and an IEC 61850-9-2 Sampled Values (SV) solution.
SEL TiDL technology uses a point-to-point architecture to deliver a simple, secure solution. It is protection-centric, with no network engineering, no switched network, no external time source for protection, and minimum training requirements. TiDL is easy to implement and offers strong cybersecurity.
An SEL digital secondary system solution offers many advantages. You can:
The SEL-TMU is a remote data acquisition device designed for use in an SEL Time-Domain Link (TiDL) technology system. Placed in the substation yard, the SEL-TMU digitizes analog signals from primary equipment and then transmits them via fiber-optic cable to SEL TiDL relays in the control house.
Apply the SEL-411L for complete protection and control of any transmission line. The SEL-411L provides differential protection with both phase- and sequence-based operating elements for sensitivity and high-speed operation.
High-speed distance and directional protection and complete control of a two-breaker bay—plus advanced automation and monitoring capability. Use it in a TiDL solution by connecting it to an SEL-TMU TiDL Merging Unit.
Complete substation bay control with high-speed breaker protection and simplified settings in one economical system. Flexible bus configurations for easy status and control of up to 20 disconnect switches and two breakers. Use it in a TiDL solution by connecting it to an SEL-TMU TiDL Merging Unit.
Low-impedance bus differential fault detection, dynamic zone configuration, backup overcurrent protection, and integrated circuit breaker failure detection with station automation features. Use it in a TiDL solution by connecting it to an SEL-TMU TiDL Merging Unit.
Comprehensive protection, metering, monitoring, and automation for power transformer applications. Use it in a TiDL solution by connecting it to an SEL-TMU TiDL Merging Unit.
The SEL SV solution is a communications-centric, interoperable IEC 61850-9-2 option for modernizing your substation’s secondary systems that includes merging units with built-in protection.
Publish SV data to the process bus network, and use the built-in phase-overcurrent and breaker failure protection to provide backup protection in case of communications system failures.
Publish SV data to the process bus network, and use the built-in line protection to increase speed and reliability as well as duplicate the data streams for redundant protection.
Apply the SEL-411L for complete protection and control of any transmission line. The SEL-411L provides differential protection with both phase- and sequence-based operating elements for sensitivity and high-speed operation.
Protect any transmission line using a combination of five zones of phase- and ground-distance and directional overcurrent elements.
Use this relay with an SV merging unit to provide complete substation bay control with high-speed breaker protection and simplified settings in one economical system. Flexible bus configurations provide easy status and control of up to 20 disconnect switches and two breakers.
Use this relay with an SV merging unit to provide low-impedance bus differential fault detection, dynamic zone configuration, backup overcurrent protection, and integrated circuit breaker failure detection with station automation features.
Use this relay with an SV merging unit to provide comprehensive protection, metering, monitoring, and automation for power transformer applications.
The industry’s first field-hardened software-defined networking (SDN)-enabled switch. High-speed failover maintains your IEC 61850 protection systems, even during equipment failures. Use it in an SV solution to provide centralized traffic engineering and improve Ethernet performance.
Receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time signals, and distribute precise time via multiple output protocols, including IRIG-B and the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
