SEL-300G

Generator Relay

Apply the SEL-300G Relay for comprehensive primary and backup generator protection.

SEL300G Generator Relay
UL CSA CE

  • Comprehensive Generator Protection
    Numerous current, voltage, frequency, and distance elements provide comprehensive protection for large and small machines.
  • One Hundred Percent Stator Ground Fault Protection
    One hundred percent stator ground fault protection using both fundamental frequency overvoltage and third-harmonic voltage differential elements to protect high-impedance grounded generators.
  • Current Differential Protection
    Optional current differential elements to optimize protection for larger machines, yet economical enough for smaller machines. Phase shift and magnitude difference compensation for current differential applications that include generator step-up transformers. Current differential option includes individual phase overcurrent elements for split-phase differential protection applications.
  • Out-of-Step Protection
    Offers a choice of single- or double-blinder scheme to detect the loss of synchronism condition.
  • Overexcitation Detection
    Volts-per-hertz elements detect overexcitation in both the generator and step-up transformer. Choose from multiple curves and definite-time elements for alarm and tripping applications.
  • Directional Power Elements
    Sensitive directional power elements protect against reverse power, overload conditions, or low forward power.
  • RTD-Based Protection
    Optional thermal protection elements work in conjunction with the SEL-2600A RTD Module.
  • Metering and Reporting
    Event reporting, Sequential Events Recorder (SER) reporting, and high-accuracy metering eliminate or reduce external metering requirements.
  • ACSELERATOR®QuickSet SEL-5030 Software
    Helps speed relay application by allowing you to develop relay settings off-line, program SELOGIC control equations, and analyze post-fault event reports.
  • Provide Secure Remote Control and Monitoring
    Use Modbus®, ASCII, and SEL Fast SER capabilities for control, monitoring, and alarm purposes.

 

  • Synchronism checking element.
  • Three-phase current differential or ground differential elements.
  • Additional optoisolated inputs and standard or high-current interrupting output contacts.
  • Compatibility with SEL-2600A RTD Module.
  • Rack-mount or panel-mount hardware.
  • Conformal Coating—Protect equipment from harsh environments and airborne contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, salt, and moisture.

  • Connect the SEL-300G Relay (with optional current differential elements) across large generators for complete primary and backup protection. Adding the neutral voltage connection provides 100 percent stator ground protection for most machines, based on third-harmonic voltage measurements. Connecting the neutral current input provides protection for solidly grounded or resistance grounded machines.
  • Apply sensitive percentage-restrained current differential elements and an unrestrained element, along with synchronism check and volts-per-hertz elements, across the entire unit to protect both the generator and the step-up transformer.
  • Replace auxiliary meters at the generating station by taking advantage of accurate internal metering.
  • Use the six-step frequency elements to trip for under- and overfrequency operation, while accumulating off-nominal frequency time in each 0.1 Hz band between 20 and 70 Hz. (Note: See IEEE guidelines for use of off-nominal frequency data to track accumulated mechanical stress in turbines.)
  • Monitor and record generator utilization with internal hour meters that record stopped time, and full load hours.
  • Record accumulated breaker contact wear with the breaker monitor function, which uses manufacturer's specifications for defining breaker operation limits. The internal monitor tracks the total number of close/open operations and integrates interrupted current per phase. Set an alarm to alert operators when measured and accumulated quantities approach maintenance thresholds. This information facilitates proactive breaker maintenance and replacement without underutilizing resources.
  • Use SEL-5040 Power System Report Manager Software to automatically gather relay event reports on your PC and manage them with a database.
  • Use SEL-5010 Relay Assistant Software to manage your relay settings.
  • Use SEL-5601 Analytic Assistant Software to display oscillograms and vector diagrams to analyze event reports.

 

SEL provides options to help you efficiently and safely commission and test these relays.
SEL-4391 Data Courier Streamline commissioning by using the SEL-4391 Data Courier™ to send and retrieve settings, gather event reports, and install enhancements.
Connectorized® When access to the back of panels and cabinets is allowed, use a Connectorized® version of this relay for fast installation and testing.
