SEL line protection solutions are ideal for improving system stability and security, allowing you to:
With feature-rich SEL relays, you can apply protection, fault-locating, and monitoring solutions with a single piece of equipment. This saves money, increases efficiency, and improves reliability by reducing wiring and configuration complexity.
Apply distance protection as a primary protection solution or as a backup to line current differential schemes. SEL relays can be securely applied on short lines and under heavy load conditions, with or without wide-area communications. Zero-setting out-of-step blocking functions improve system stability without time-consuming and expensive system studies.
Use line current differential protection for improved protection of your most critical transmission lines. It’s an ideal solution for long extra-high-voltage lines, for complex systems where distance protection alone is inadequate, and for primary line protection when connecting wind farms to the grid.
The fault-locating functions built into SEL relays ensure that you can dispatch crews to precise locations and repair the faulted section quickly. SEL relays can compute fault locations using multiple methods—including traveling-wave fault locating, which locates faults to within one tower span.
Deploy innovative SEL time-domain protection products to simplify protection schemes and enable faster, more secure tripping.
Let us partner with you to create an SEL solution for your system. From engineering studies and system design through commissioning and training, SEL engineers bring inventiveness and a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of electric power systems to every project. No matter how complex or sophisticated the system, we can help you protect, simplify, and control it.
SEL products are designed and manufactured for the world’s most challenging environments, exceeding all industry standards for temperature, shock, and electric stress. An optional conformal coating for circuit boards adds an extra level of protection against contaminants in extreme environments.
Every SEL product comes with a ten-year warranty—the best in the industry. If any product fails under warranty, we’ll repair or replace it for free.
We’re happy to answer all your questions and help develop the best solution for your needs.
Every SEL solution comes with lifetime technical support, free of charge.
There are no service contracts, time limits, or expiration dates. No matter how often you call or how long your SEL products have been in service, you’ll reach a friendly human who can provide the service and support you need.
Our support teams are stationed in regional offices around the world and staffed with application engineers who are experts in our products and in power system applications. We’re always ready with the information and resources needed to keep your SEL solution working effectively.
