Teleprotection
Protective relays communicate with each other to clear faults faster, increase fault sensitivity, and restore power quicker. Select SEL products and technology to implement reliable teleprotection.
- SEL ICON™—Integrated Communications Optical Network

SEL is changing the face of utility communications with the SEL ICON. The ICON combines SONET multiplexer and Ethernet switch capabilities in a single scalable platform, and it provides IEEE C37.94 interface support via optional dedicated access modules. Other data formats are also supported, including EIA-232, EIA-422, EIA-485, EIA-530, and EIA-449.

- SEL-3094 Interface Converter

Convert electrical teleprotection interfaces to the IEEE C37.94 optical standard. Connect an SEL-3094 to an ITU-T G.703, EIA-422, EIA-485, or EIA-232 device, and use up to 2 km of optical fiber to link to an IEEE C37.94 multiplexer. Similarly, connect an SEL-3094 to a noncompliant multiplexer, and use fiber to connect to a new teleprotection device and another SEL-3094 at the multiplexer to replace a G.703, EIA-422, EIA-485, or EIA-232 wire link with optical fiber.

- Mirrored Bits Communications

SEL developed Mirrored Bits communications to provide high-speed, secure, point-to-point communication of real or virtual contact-status bits. Protection applications include directional element-based bus protection and replacement of tone-channel equipment for communications-assisted blocking, unblocking, permissive, and transfer trip schemes. Automation applications include high-speed sectionalizing, restoration, and interlock schemes as well as replacement of large bundles of field wiring with several small optical fibers, lowering costs and improving reliability.
