SEL-351

Directional Overcurrent and Reclosing Relay

Choose the SEL-351 Relay for transmission or distribution overcurrent protection with optional load profile recording, MIRRORED BITS® communications, and power quality monitoring capabilities.

SEL-351 Directional Overcurrent & Reclosing Relay
    Selecting certain optional features for this product may affect CE conformity - please consult your customer service representative for details.*

  • Complete and Flexible Protection
    Multiple phase, negative-sequence, neutral, and residual instantaneous/definite-time overcurrent elements with independent pickup, time dial, curve, and reset emulation settings. Numerous phase and sequence under- and overvoltage elements. Six steps of frequency elements for multilevel under- and overfrequency trip and control.
  • Innovative Directional Element Polarization
    Positive-sequence voltage-polarized phase directional element with memory for directional stability during phase faults.

    Best Choice Ground Directional Element™ System logic for secure ground directional element operation for all types of system grounding practices under varying system conditions (SEL-351-5, -6, -7).
  • Enhanced Security on Heavily Loaded Feeders
    Load encroachment logic allows phase overcurrent elements to be set independent of load levels.
  • Pilot Communications-Assisted Trip Logic
    Multiple pilot communications-assisted trip logic schemes available for use with traditional pilot communications equipment or with optional MIRRORED BITS communications.
  • Reclosing Control
    Programmable four-shot breaker auto-reclose with synchronism and voltage check logic to match a variety of reclosing practices. Sequence coordination logic to coordinate with downstream reclosers.
  • Metering, Load Profiling, PQ Monitoring
    Accurate metering eliminates the need for external meters (Amps, Volts, MW, MVAR, MWhr, MVARhr, PF, instantaneous/peak demand, frequency, dc volts). Optional load profiling periodically records up to 15 quantities for daily, weekly, and monthly trending information. Optional power quality monitoring records voltage sags, swells, and interruptions.
  • Input Voltage Settings
    Select line-neutral (WYE) or line-line (delta) input AC voltage connections using software setting (SEL-351-5, -6, -7).
  • ACSELERATOR® Software
    Helps speed relay application by allowing you to develop relay settings off-line, program SELOGIC® control equations, and analyze post-fault event reports (SEL-351-5, -6, -7).

 

Accessories

SEL accessories simplify operation and enhance the flexibility of SEL products.

Add independent breaker control to any relay. The SEL-9510 Control Switch Module easily installs in panel or rack locations for independent local control and status indications.

Commissioning and Testing

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-351 relays.

 

CBT 351 Introduction to SEL-351 Relays Computer Based Training

  • Panel-mount or rack-mount hardware package.
  • Vertical panel-mount (3U) hardware package.
  • Connectorized® (plug-in connectors) hardware configuration.
  • MIRRORED BITS communications and load profiling.
  • Additional I/O board with contact-sensing inputs and standard or high-current interrupting contact outputs.
  • Sensitive directional power elements.
  • Voltage sag, swell, and interruption (VSSI) recording.
  • Low range neutral current input channel for non-directional Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF) applications.
  • Low range neutral current channel for directional control for Petersen Coil grounded, high-impedance grounded, or ungrounded power systems.
  • Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) 3 Level 2 Slave communications protocol.
  • Conformal Coating—Protect equipment from harsh environments and airborne contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, salt, and moisture.

  • Protect and control radial or looped transmission, subtransmission, or distribution circuits.
  • Use pilot protection on transmission or subtransmission circuits, including three-terminal lines.
  • Apply directional and nondirectional overcurrent protection for transformer/bus main/bus-tie breaker.
  • Protect and control capacitor banks.
  • Apply breaker failure protection.
  • Control auto-reclosing with synchronism and voltage check logic.
  • Protect small generators.
  • Protect distributed generation interconnections.
  • Shed load using underfrequency elements.
  • Add fault indicators to distribution protection and reduce fault-finding time by 50 percent.
  • 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-351 Relays and send it to display and archiving systems, such as SEL-5078 SYNCHROWAVE Console Software.

SEL SYNCHROWAVE Console Software displays and archives power system operating conditions.

  • Dispatch line crews to quickly isolate overhead line problems and restore service faster using built-in fault locator.
  • Schedule circuit breaker maintenance based on need as determined from breaker monitoring data and alarms.
  • Analyze overcurrent protection system performance using built-in Sequential Events Recorder (SER).
  • Use SEL-5010 Relay Assistant Software to manage your relay settings.
  • 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-5601 Analytic Assistant Software to display oscillograms and vector diagrams to analyze event reports.
