2008 Seminar Topics and Schedule:
| Topic |
Date |
New User Relay Training
Engineers and technicians who are new to using SEL relays will
benefit from this hands-on class. Students will convert control schematics
and settings for an electromechanical relay installation into
SEL settings and SELOGIC® control equations, create and download
an ACSELERATOR® settings file to an SEL-551C Relay, create a commissioning
checklist, and test the application.
Limited to 12 students. |

New User Communications Processor Training
Engineers and technicians who are new to using SEL communications
processors will benefit from this hands-on class. Students will
configure an SEL-2032 for engineering access, for time distribution,
to collect and parse information from relays, to send controls, and to
interface with a SCADA master.
Limited to 12 students. |

Transformer Protection
This seminar will review the basics of transformer differential
protection. Students will develop SEL-387 Relay settings for several
common transformer installations, learn about the importance of
using adequately sized CTs, discuss the differences between harmonic
blocking and harmonic restraint for inrush conditions, discuss
applying and setting restricted earth fault protection, review the
setting and application of overexcitation protection, and go through
some simulated commissioning exercises. |

Motor Protection
This seminar will introduce the SEL-710 Motor Protection Relay and
provide an explanation of thermal protection to accurately calculate
the rotor heat for high-inertia starting applications. With an emphasis on induction motors, fundamental protection recommendations
will be discussed. The protection recommendations will be based
on IEEE Standard C37.96 (Guide for AC Motor Protection), IEEE
Standard 242 (Recommended Practice for Protection and Control of
Industrial and Commercial Power Systems), and SEL Distinguished
Engineer Stan Zocholl’s book AC Motor Protection. SEL-710 Relay
settings will be developed during the seminar for example motor
applications. |

Arc-Flash Mitigation Using SEL Technology
This seminar will outline the use of existing technologies to mitigate
arc-flash hazards, specifically outlined in the technical paper
“Application of Existing Technologies to Reduce Arc-Flash Hazard,” by Karl Zimmerman and Jim Buff of SEL. Students will calculate the
arc energy for an example system, then discuss different methods to
reduce the arc-flash hazard for this system. These include considering
the overall system design, reducing the coordination interval on
time-overcurrent relays, using different methods of bus protection,
and using relay pushbuttons to enable arc-flash protection during
maintenance. |

Integration Using the SEL-3332, SEL-3351, SEL-3021,
and SEL-3022
Engineers and technicians who are new to using SEL-33XX computing
products will benefit from this seminar. It will include
an introduction to the SEL-3332 Intelligent Server and SEL-3351
System Computing Platform, and cybersecurity products SEL-3021
Serial Encrypting Transceiver and SEL-3022 Wireless Encrypting
Transceiver. The instructor will demonstrate the process of connecting
an SEL-351S Relay to an SEL-3332 for engineering access, for
time distribution, to collect and parse information from the relay, to
send controls, and to securely interface with a SCADA master. |
Thursday
July 17 |
Bus Protection
Settings will be developed for protecting a bus using various
methods and relays. This class includes an explanation of fast-bus
trip schemes, using a transformer differential relay such as the
SEL-587 or SEL-387 for bus protection, the high-impedance
SEL-587Z, and the low-impedance SEL-487B. |
Thursday
August 14 |
New User Relay Training
Engineers and technicians who are new to using SEL relays will
benefit from this hands-on class. Students will convert control schematics
and settings for an electromechanical relay installation into
SEL settings and SELOGIC control equations, create and download an
ACSELERATOR settings file to an SEL-551C Relay, create a commissioning
checklist, and test the application.
Limited to 12 students. |
Thursday
September 11 |
SEL Integration—An Example Using IEC 61850
Engineers and technicians who are new to IEC 61850 will benefit
from this seminar. It will include a basic introduction on the
IEC 61850 communications technology. The instructor will demonstrate
the process of configuring GOOSE messages between the
SEL-421 Relay and SEL-2411 Programmable Automation Controller,
converting GOOSE messages to DNP protocol in the SEL-2411 using
ACSELERATOR Architect™ SEL-5032 Software. The devices will be
connected to an SEL-3351 System Computing Platform using SISCO
MMS Object Explorer to collect information, to send controls, and to
interface with an HMI via OPC. A comparison between GOOSE and
MIRRORED BITS® communications will also be discussed. |
