SEL-351R Falcon™ Recloser Control
The SEL-351R Falcon Recloser Control is great for simple recloser control upgrades. This small lightweight control has advanced directional overcurrent and frequency elements, and Mirrored Bits for communications-assisted protection schemes.
- Plug-In Recloser Control Compatibility
The SEL-351R Falcon™ Recloser Control is a plug-compatible replacement for Cooper Kyle® Form 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 4C, FXA, FXB, 5, and 6 recloser controls, and is compatible with popular reclosers from Cooper, G&W, Joslyn, and FKI Whipp & Bourne. Familiar “EZ” recloser control settings speed commissioning, and the SEL-351R Falcon is independently certified to IEEE C37.60 2003 recloser standards. - Lightweight and Rugged
One person can easily lift and quickly install this lightweight recloser control. The durable, painted aluminum enclosure will not rust and is rugged enough for line installation, and the gasketless enclosure carries a NEMA 3R rating to ensure reliable performance in all weather conditions. A swing-open NEMA 3R enclosure with a gasketed door is also available. - ACSELERATOR QuickSet® SEL-5030 Software
Helps speed recloser control application settings by allowing you to develop settings off-line, program SELogic® control equations, and analyze post-fault event reports. - Relay and Recloser Compatible Time-Overcurrent Protection
U.S. (IEEE) and IEC relay curves, user-programmable curves, and all traditional recloser curves included for maximum recloser control flexibility and coordination. Constant time adder, vertical multiplier, and minimum response time functions for additional flexibility. Optionally, use the SEL-5804 curve designer software to create custom curves for the SEL-351R Falcon. - Large Operator Controls
Large, programmable operator control interface pushbuttons for easy recloser control. Control interface pushbuttons include “Lock” function to prevent inadvertent operation. Pushbuttons are preprogrammed and labeled with popular recloser control switch functions, but can be reprogrammed and relabeled to meet your unique application requirements. - Advanced Battery Charging and Monitoring System
The 120 Vac/Vdc powered battery charging system monitors and tests the 24 Vdc battery. Includes automatic sleep and local wake-up function. 12 Vdc available for powering modems and radio communications equipment (6 W continuous, 13 W for 1 second). - Per-Phase Operations Counter
Now you can monitor breaker or recloser contact wear for each individual phase for efficient maintenance planning and troubleshooting. - Improved Mirrored Bits Communications for Use With Spread Spectrum Radios
Increases the flexibility of relay-to-relay logic communications schemes for improved feeder performance.
- Choose the right recloser control for your application. View the SEL recloser control comparison table for comparison information on all SEL recloser controls.
- Upgrade existing substation and pole-mounted Cooper recloser controls with plug-compatible SEL-351R Recloser Controls to improve protection, control, and monitoring functions.
- Integrate and automate new and existing recloser installations to provide remote control, remote communication, and automated data collection.
- Selectively control preferred and alternate source reclosers that serve critical customer loads using a Mirrored Bits communications link.
- Combine SEL fault indicators with recloser controls to pinpoint the exact location of a fault, even on lateral feeds, something neither product can do on its own. When a fault occurs, the SEL recloser control reports the distance from the recloser to the fault, however, for lines with branches, the recloser control cannot determine on which branch of the line the fault has occurred. By following the line along the tripped fault indicators the line crew can easily find the area of the fault.
- Selectively coordinate with upstream SEL-351 or SEL-351S Relays applied on a feeder breaker using a Mirrored Bits communications link for secure, high-speed fault clearing on distribution circuits.
- Integrate with SCADA systems using DNP3 outstation communications protocol with point mapping.
- Apply high-side transformer blown-fuse detection logic to protect customers from potentially damaging unbalanced voltages.
- Add underfrequency load shedding to individual feeder and subfeeder recloser installations.
- Efficiently dispatch line inspection and repair personnel, and identify recurring feeder trouble points to improve reliability with built-in fault locator and fault type identification.
- Program recloser failure logic with SELogic control equations.
- Measure and improve protection device coordination with oscillographic event report and Sequential Events Recorder (SER) data.
- Prevent tripping on cold load inrush current with a cold load pickup scheme.
- Automatically gather relay event reports on your PC and manage them with ACSELERATOR® Report Server SEL-5040 Software.
- Manage your relay settings with SEL-5010 Relay Assistant Software.
- Display oscillograms and vector diagrams to analyze event reports with ACSELERATOR Analytic Assistant SEL-5601 Software.
- Three-phase and synchronism voltage input interface
- Swing-open enclosure with gasketed door
- Additional digital inputs/outputs
- EIA-485 communications port
- User-configurable labels for operator controls and target LEDs
Control and Low-Voltage Close Cables
SEL manufactures and sells control and low-voltage close cables for connecting SEL-351R Recloser Controls to Cooper reclosers in new or retrofit installations. Both the control and low-voltage close cables are available in a 10-foot standard length. Custom-order cables are available on a per-foot basis up to 100 feet.
- Control Cable - C510
- Low-Voltage Close Cable - C515 (for use with the low-voltage close socket, 9250100, which provides an exterior receptacle on the SEL-351R Falcon enclosure that mates with C515)
SEL offers installed accessories and accessory kits for the SEL-351R Falcon to simplify installation and meet specific applications.
