SEL-311C

Protection and Automation System

Apply the SEL-311C Relay for complete three-pole distance protection, monitoring, and control of transmission lines.


UL CSA CE

  • Complete Line Protection
    Protect transmission lines using a combination of four stepped-distance zones of phase and ground-distance elements in communications-assisted schemes, with directional overcurrent element backup protection. Patented Capacitance Voltage Transformer (CVT) transient overreach logic enhances security of Zone 1 distance elements. Best Choice Ground Directional Element™ logic optimizes directional element performance and requires no directional settings.
  • Monitoring and Metering
    Event reports, Sequential Events Recorder (SER), circuit breaker contact wear monitor, substation battery monitor, instantaneous and demand metering, and optional local display panel.
  • Synchrophasor Measurements
    Turn state estimation into state measurement with wide-area measurement of voltage and current phase angles and magnitudes.  Improve system stability with high-speed, load-angle measurements. Increase stable loading with analysis of voltage and angular stability.
  • Reclosing
    Programmable four-shot breaker auto-reclose with synchronism and voltage check logic for optimal system restoration.
  • Communications
    EIA-232 and EIA-485 serial ports for local/remote access and system integration. MIRRORED BITS® communications protocol for eight channels of secure relay-to-relay logic communications available on both rear-panel EIA-232 serial ports.

 

  • Vertical panel-mount hardware package.
  • Horizontal panel-mount hardware package.
  • Liquid crystal display and operator pushbuttons (two rack unit vertical package not available with LCD).
  • Additional inputs and additional standard outputs, or high-current interrupting outputs, or high-speed, high-current interrupting outputs.
  • DNP3 Level 2 Slave communications protocol.
  • Connectorized®
  • Conformal Coating—Protect equipment from harsh environments and airborne contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, salt, and moisture.

  • Complete pilot protection for primary and backup three-pole tripping schemes on transmission and subtransmission lines.
  • Program up to four-shots of automatic breaker reclosing with synchronism and voltage checks to optimize system restoration.
  • SEL SYNCHROWAVE Console Software displays and archives power system operating conditions.Send synchrophasor data to SCADA and wide-area measurement systems using SEL Fast Messages at rates of up to 60 times per minute. Accuracy of ± 1 degree and microsecond timing of event reports improve system visualization and event analysis. Use SEL-5077 SYNCHROWAVE® Server Software to time-correlate synchrophasor data from SEL-311 Relays and send it to display and archiving systems, such as SEL-5078 SYNCHROWAVE Console Software
  • Use the built-in fault locator to efficiently dispatch line inspection and repair personnel.
  • Program breaker failure logic with SELOGIC® control equations.
  • Schedule as-needed circuit breaker maintenance and send alarms when the breaker monitor detects excess breaker contact wear from the number of operations and magnitude of interrupted current.
  • Alarm for low-voltage conditions on station battery.
  • Implement wire-alike upgrades for popular SEL-221 series distance relay applications.
  • Application settings simplify upgrades from SEL-221 relays.
  • 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.
SEL-4600 Series Test Blocks and Plugs Improve safety, save time, and reduce costs with SEL-4600 Series Test Blocks and Plugs. Use the SEL recommended standard block and plug configurations for SEL-311A, B, and C relays.
