SEL-387A

Current Differential and Overcurrent Relay

Use the SEL-387A Relay for protection, monitoring, and automation applications for important transformers, generators, and other power apparatus.

SEL-387A Current Differential and Overcurrent Relay
UL CSA CE

  • Two-Winding Current Differential Protection
    Sensitive current differential protection with programmable single- or dual-slope percentage restraint, supervised by a choice of second- and fourth-harmonic blocking or restraint elements, plus fifth-harmonic and dc blocking elements for secure protection of up to two windings. Phase current harmonic blocking is set for either common or independent winding basis. Unrestrained high-set differential elements provide fast operation for high-magnitude internal faults. "Around the clock" phase angle compensation settings and automatic tap calculations simplify settings.
  • Individual Winding Overcurrent Protection
    Torque-controllable overcurrent elements, including one instantaneous, one definite-time, and one inverse-time element each for phase, negative-sequence, and residual ground currents, provide comprehensive overcurrent protection on each winding input.
  • Through-Fault Recording and Monitoring
    Through-fault duty is recorded and accumulated for use in SELOGIC® control equations or manual monitoring.
  • Protection and Control Logic
    Restricted Earth Fault (REF) logic for sensitive grounded-wye winding ground fault protection. SELOGIC control equations with SELOGIC variables, timers, latch bits, and remote control elements for customizing advanced protection and control schemes. Local programmable control elements and programmable text display points for advanced local operator interface.
  • Metering and Reporting
    Oscillographic event reports (up to seven 60-cycle reports), Sequential Events Recorder (SER) reporting, and accurate metering eliminate or reduce external recorder and metering requirements. Station battery voltage monitor and circuit breaker contact wear monitor provide important data for Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) programs. Use with SEL-2600A RTD Module to meter temperatures from as many as 24 RTDs.
  • ACSELERATOR® QuickSet™ Software
    Develop relay settings off-line, program SELOGIC control equations, and analyze post-fault event reports.

 

  • Two Restricted Earth Fault (REF) elements for sensitive protection of wye-connected windings.
  • Panel-mount or rack-mount hardware package.
  • Chassis available for one additional I/O board.
  • I/O board with contact sensing inputs and standard outputs, or high-current interrupting outputs.
  • 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.

  • Use the temperature metering element to activate a control or issue a warning or alarm when the transformer oil temperature exceeds user-set threshold.
  • Apply one SEL-387A Relay to protect any two-winding power transformer. Perform predictive maintenance based on accumulated through-fault duty as compared to transformer capability as defined in ANSI Standard C57.109. Use recorded fault values or an alarm set point to initiate an evaluation of transformer maintenance needs.
  • Protect reactors, generators, large motors, and other multiterminal power apparatus.
  • Apply with any combination of delta- or wye-connected CT secondary circuits.
  • Use built-in winding overcurrent elements for backup protection.
  • Use SELOGIC control equations to create breaker failure logic.
  • Detect ground faults through delta-wye transformer banks, or provide sensitive phase-to-phase protection, independent of load current, with negative-sequence overcurrent element.
  • Use low-side overcurrent elements for backup distribution bus or feeder protection.
  • Use any one of up to six independent setting groups to quickly adapt the relay to different application scenarios.
  • 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.
