Bay Control and Substation Integration

Bay Control and Substation Protection Products

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.

SEL-2240 Axion

With an integrated 7-inch color touchscreen, the SEL-2240 Axion is ideal for application as a bay control unit. The Axion Bay Controller’s modular configuration allows you to expand the device to control and monitor over one hundred switching devices across multiple substation bays.

Digital Secondary System (Digital Substation) Solutions

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.

An SEL digital secondary system solution offers many advantages. You can:

  • Increase safety by moving high-energy copper cables out of the control house and away from where people work.
  • Reduce costs by decreasing the materials and labor required for wiring installation, commissioning, and documentation.
  • Minimize misoperations due to wiring errors by reducing the number of physical routing paths and connections.

Build an SEL TiDL 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.

Build an IEC 61850-9-2 SV Solution

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.
