- Two-Winding Current Differential Protection
The SEL-387A offers 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 provides sensitive grounded-wye winding ground fault protection. SELogic control equations with SELogic variables, timers, latch bits, and remote control elements are used for customizing advanced protection and control schemes. Local programmable control elements and programmable text display points provide an 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 the SEL-2600A RTD Module to meter temperatures from as many as 24 RTDs.
