SEL-351A

Distribution Protection System

The SEL-351A Relay provides enhanced features for integrated protection, monitoring, and control schemes.

SEL-351A Distribution Protection System
UL CSACE*

  • Dependable Overcurrent Protection
    Six levels of phase, negative-sequence, neutral, and residual overcurrent elements for coordinated protection, along with phase and sequence under- and overvoltage elements to maximize control scheme flexibility.
  • Enhanced Security
    Voltage or load-encroachment control of the four phase time-overcurrent elements for load security.
  • Innovative Directional Elements
    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.
  • Under- / Overfrequency Protection
    Up to six steps of accurate frequency elements for multilevel under- and overfrequency trip and control.
  • Reclosing Control
    Programmable four-shot recloser with optional synchronism check to match a variety of reclosing practices.
  • Metering
    Accurate metering eliminates the need for external meters (MW, MVAR, MWh, MVARh, PF, instantaneous/peak demand).
  • Input Voltage Settings
    Select line-neutral (WYE) or line-line (delta) input AC voltage connections using software settings.
  • ACSELERATOR® QuickSet Software
    Helps speed relay application by allowing you to develop relay settings off-line, program SELOGIC® control equations, and analyze post-fault event reports.

Applications

  • Provide primary or backup overcurrent protection on distribution systems with sensitive phase, negative-sequence, residual, and neutral overcurrent protection elements.
  • Use wire-alike terminal configurations to take advantage of advancing technology, improving system protection performance, and reducing total costs. This is the wire-alike upgrade for the popular SEL-251 Relay.
  • Set the sensitive phase and ground directional elements for accurate and secure fault detection.
  • Enhance sensitivity with two independent residual ground time-overcurrent elements.
  • Measure and record in nonvolatile memory MW, MVAR, MWh, MVARh, PF, instantaneous and/or peak demand, eliminating the need for external meters.
  • Provide multi-step load shedding schemes using under- /overfrequency elements.
  • 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-351A 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.
