Overview
The SEL-400G Advanced Generator Protection System, shown in Figure 1.1,
provides a suite of elements for the comprehensive protection and monitoring of
generators of all types and sizes. In total, the relay consists of 24 analog channels,
of which 18 channels are for 6 three-phase current inputs, and 6 channels are for
2 three-phase voltage inputs. One of the three-phase current inputs can be config-
ured as three single-phase current inputs and one of the three-phase voltage
inputs can be configured as three single-phase voltage inputs.
zones. Increasing the number of inputs to the differential zone removes the
need to parallel CTs when including various circuits connecting to the zone.
This, in turn, makes it much more practical to provide overcurrent, breaker
failure, and inadvertent energization protection for multiple breakers.
Adaptive Slope Differential. A high-speed algorithm automatically increases
the slope setting during periods when CT saturation is more likely. This pro-
vides greatly increased security for external faults and external transformer
energization during black starting.
Pumped Storage Logic. The SEL-400G internally corrects the phase transposi-
tions introduced by the reversing switch. The logic ensures that the phasing
of the differential element and the phase rotation are correct. This allows a
pumped storage hydro unit to be protected with a single SEL-400G without
the need to externally switch the CT or PT secondary wiring.
SEL-400G, SEL-2664, SEL-2664S Complete Coverage, Online and Off. Combine
the SEL-400G relay, SEL-2664 Field Ground Module, and SEL-2664S Sta-
tor Ground Module for complete generator protection under all operating
conditions, including offline and during starting. Analog measurements from
these modules can be passed to the SEL-400G over an Ethernet connection.
Comprehensive Temperature Monitoring. When the SEL-400G is used in con-
junction with the SEL-2600 RTD Module and/or SEL-2411 Programmable
Automation Controller, as many as 24 temperature measurements over serial
and 24 over Ethernet are available. Each can be programmed for two levels
of thermal protection per element.
Extended Range Frequency Tracking of 5–120 Hz. Generators may, at times,
operate at frequencies significantly different than nominal. The SEL-400G
wide-range frequency tracking algorithm ensures that all protection func-
tions are secure and dependable regardless of the system frequency. The
SEL-400G also independently tracks the generator and system frequencies.
Capability-Based Loss of Field. Use this function to more effectively coordi-
nate with the minimum excitation limiter (MEL), generator capability curve
(GCC), and steady-state stability limit (SSSL). The element can dynamically
adapt with voltage to maintain coordination with the MEL.
Generator Unbalance. In the past, rotor thermal protection elements have
responded only to the negative-sequence component of the fundamental fre-
quency stator current. Generators also have a harmonic current capability
limit. The SEL-400G accounts for heating because of the fundamental and
harmonic components as high as the 15th. In accordance with IEEE C50.12
and IEEE C50.13, each component is scaled by a weighting factor based on
its sequence (positive or negative) and its harmonic order. This weighting
factor accounts for skin effect. Two elements are provided, each of which
can respond either to the fundamental or the fundamental plus harmonics.
Thermal Overload Modeling. The SEL-400G provides thermal overload protec-
tion based on the thermal model described in IEC standard 60255-149. The
model can be biased by ambient temperature if the RTD option is used.
Breaker Failure Protection. High-speed breaker failure is provided for as many
as four breakers with breaker flashover logic and a slip frequency check for
non- or low-current protection.
Out-of-Step Tripping. The SEL-400G provides dual zone, single- or double-
blinder out-of-step tripping (OST) with independent pole slip counters for
generator and system OST coordination.
Three EIA-232 serial ports and two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports efficiently
transmit key information, including:
➤ Metering data
➤ Protection element and control I/O status
➤ IEEE C37.118 synchrophasors
➤ IEC 61850 GOOSE messages
➤ Sequential Events Recorder (SER) reports
➤ Breaker monitor reports
➤ Summary event reports
➤ Time-synchronization reports
Use expanded SELOGIC control equations with math and comparison func-
tions in control applications.
Incorporate as many as 250 lines of protection logic along with 1000 lines of
automation logic to accelerate and improve control actions.
High-isolation control input circuits allow reliable interface points for inputs
from other systems.
Comprehensive Metering. Use the extensive metering values in the SEL-400G
to allow operators to eliminate standalone meters. Use full metering capabil-
ities of the SEL-400G that include rms, fundamental, maximum/minimum,
demand/peak, energy, harmonics, differential, synchronism-check, synchro-
phasor, and thermal values.
Breaker and Battery Monitoring. Schedule breaker maintenance when accumu-
lated breaker duty indicates possible excess contact wear. The SEL-400G
records electrical and mechanical operating times for both the last operation
and the average of operations since function reset. Breaker monitoring pro-
vides notification of substation battery voltage problems using voltage dip
detection during trip or close operations.
Ethernet Access. Access all relay functions with the optional Ethernet card.
Use IEC 61850, Modbus TCP, or DNP3 protocol directly to interconnect
with automation systems. You can also connect to DNP3 or Modbus TCP
networks through a communications processor. Use File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) for high-speed data collection. Connect to substation or corporate
LANs to transmit synchrophasors in the IEEE C37.118 format, using TCP or
UDP internet protocols.
Oscillography. Record voltages, currents, and internal logic points at sampling
rates as fast as 8 kHz and with time stamp based on absolute time. Phasor
and harmonic analysis features allow investigation of relay and system per-
formance.
SER. Record the last 1000 entries, including setting changes, relay startup,
password access, and as many as 250 selectable logic elements.
Rules-Based Settings Editor. Use an ASCII terminal to communicate and set
the relay, or use the PC-based SEL Grid Configurator Software to configure
the SEL-400G, view a replica of the relay front- panel HMI, analyze fault
records with relay element response, and view real-time phasors and har-
monic levels.
Features
The SEL-400G contains many protection, automation, and control features.
Figure 1.2 presents a simplified functional overview of the relay.
Once frequency, voltage, and phase are matched, the function sends a close
command to the selected breaker. The close command is time-advanced by
using the slip measurement and breaker close time such that the primary
contacts close when the voltage angle across the breaker is zero. Use the
integrated disturbance report to capture generator synchronizing events.
Over- and Undervoltage Protection (27, 59). Phase, phase-to-phase, and posi-
tive-sequence undervoltage (27), overvoltage (59), residual overvoltage
(59G), and negative-sequence overvoltage (59Q) help you create protection
and control schemes, such as undervoltage load shedding or standby genera-
tion start/stop schemes.
➤ Phase and phase-to-phase undervoltage elements based on configu-
rable operating quantities operate with the minimum of the measured
voltage magnitudes; these elements operate when any single mea-
surement falls below the set thresholds.
➤ Phase and phase-to-phase overvoltage elements operate with the
maximum of the measured voltage magnitudes.
➤ The positive-sequence undervoltage elements operate when the cal-
culated positive-sequence voltage V1 drops below the set thresholds.
100 Percent Stator Ground Detection (64G). The SEL-400G detects stator
ground faults on high-impedance grounded generators using a conventional
neutral overvoltage element and either a third-harmonic voltage detection
scheme or the SEL-2664S Stator Ground Protection Relay. Together these
functions provide 100 percent stator winding coverage.
The neutral overvoltage element (64G1) detects winding ground faults in
approximately 90 percent of the winding.
Two third-harmonic schemes are provided:
➤ The 64G2 requires a grounded-wye terminal PT. It operates on the
difference between the third harmonic at the neutral and terminals. It
offers sensitive resistive fault coverage but requires a third-harmonic
survey for determination of optimal settings. This scheme incorpo-
rates built-in logic to adapt to changes in terminal capacitance when
a low-side generator breaker is present.
➤ The 64G3 operates on the ratio of the third harmonic at the neutral
and to the total third harmonic. It is less sensitive than the 64G2 but
does not require a third-harmonic survey. If a grounded-wye terminal
PT is available, the total third harmonic is measured as the vector
sum of the neutral and terminal third harmonic voltages. If a
grounded-wye terminal PT is not available, a patented algorithm esti-
mates the total third harmonic using terminal voltages and currents.
The 64G output logic incorporates an acceleration path and an integrating
timers to ensure correct operation for intermittent ground faults.
Field Ground Protection (64F). The SEL-400G, with the SEL-2664 Field
Ground Module, detects field ground faults by measuring field insulation-to-
ground resistance by using the switched dc voltage injection method. Two-
level protection for alarm and trip functions is provided.
Stator Ground Protection Using Subharmonic Injection (64S). Combine the
SEL-400G and the SEL-2664S Stator Ground Protection Relay to provide
rapid and reliable detection of stator ground faults under all operating condi-
tions (including offline) by using patented Multi-Sine injection from the
SEL-2664S and 100 percent stator ground protection (64G) in the
SEL-400G. The SEL-2664S remains operational at standstill and during
starting.
Out-of-Step Protection (78). SEL-400G relays use a single- or a double-blinder
scheme, depending on user selection, to detect an out-of-step condition. In
addition to the blinders, the scheme uses a mho circle that restricts the cover-
age of the out-of-step function to the desired extent. Furthermore, both
schemes contain current supervision and torque control to supervise the
operation of the out-of-step element. The out-of-step protection also
employs a reactance line to divide the characteristic into a generator and sys-
tem zone, each with independent pole slip counters.
Frequency Elements (81). Six independent levels of over- or underfrequency
elements detect abnormal frequency operating conditions. Use the inde-
pendently time-delayed output of these elements to trip or alarm.
Phase undervoltage supervision prevents undesired frequency element oper-
ation during start up, shutdown, and faults, and while the field is de-ener-
gized. A frequency element can act as an offline overspeed function. The
relay can measure frequency at a minimum of 5 volts secondary, allowing it
to respond to the residual core flux prior to field application. Unsupervised
Relay Word bits are provided for use in custom generator overspeed
schemes.
Firmware Options
The SEL-400G comes in two different ordering options: Generator Protection
Relay (SEL-400G-0) and Generator Protection Relay and Autosynchronizer
(SEL-400G-1). The SEL-400G-1 has the same relay functionality and adds the
autosynchronizer function.

Applications
Steam Turbine
Figure 1.3 shows the SEL-400G applied to a large steam turbine. One differential
element is fed from CTs at the generator neutral and generator terminals. A sec-
ond differential is fed from CTs at the generator neutral, AUX transformer, and
GSU HV breakers. REF protection is implemented on the GSU HV winding.
Synchronism-check and autosynchronizing are implemented on each breaker.
High-speed breaker failure and inadvertent energization is provided for each
breaker.
Field ground protection is provided by the SEL-2664. One-hundred percent sta-
tor ground is provided by the SEL-2664S. RTD temperature sensing is provided
by the SEL-2600. The SEL-400G can interface with two SEL-2600 Modules for
a total of 24 RTDs.
Overcurrent protection is provided for the HV side of the AUX transformer.
The directional power element (32) can also be fed from a dedicated metering-
class CT (not shown).

Hydro Generator
Figure 1.4 shows the SEL-400G applied to a large hydro generator. The
SEL-400G can track frequency as high as 120 Hz, ensuring the accuracy of all
protection functions.
In this application, one differential element provides transverse differential pro-
tection by using the branch CTs at the generator neutral. These currents are sum-
mated to provide the generator neutral-side current. The second differential
element provides overall differential protection using the neutral branch currents,
the braking and exciter transformer CTs and the GSU HV breaker CT.
Adaptive split phase protection is provided using the inter-neutral CT. The use of
the inter-neutral CT provides sensitive protection. REF protection is imple-
mented on the GSU HV winding (not shown).
When three-phase voltages are available on both sides of the sync-breaker, the
SEL-400G provides additional security against VT wiring errors, equivalent to a
three-phase synchronism-check.
The frequency element can act as an offline overspeed function. It measures at a
minimum of 5 volts secondary, allowing it to respond to the residual core flux
prior to field application.

Installation
The first steps in applying the SEL-400G Advanced Generator Protection System
are installing and connecting the relay. This section describes installation require-
ments for the physical configurations of the SEL-400G.
To install and connect the relay safely and effectively, you must be familiar with
relay configuration features and options and relay jumper configuration. You
should carefully plan relay placement, cable connections, and relay communica-
tion. This section also contains drawings of typical ac and dc connections to the
SEL-400G (see AC/DC Connection Diagrams on page 2.39). Use these drawings
as a starting point for planning your particular relay application. Consider the fol-
lowing when installing the SEL-400G.

➤ Plug-In Boards on page 2.10
➤ Jumpers on page 2.11

page 2.20
➤ Connection on page 2.27
➤ AC/DC Connection Diagrams on page 2.39
It is also very important to limit access to the SEL-400G settings and control
functions by using passwords. For information on relay access levels and pass-
words, see Changing the Default Passwords in the Terminal on page 3.11 in the
SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual.
For more introductory information on using the relay, see Section 2: PC Software
and Section 3: Basic Relay Operations in the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction
Manual.
Relay Sizes
SEL produces the 8U relay in rack-mount versions. The relay has provision for
two additional I/O boards. Relay sizes correspond to height in rack units, U,
where U is approximately 44.45 mm (1.75 in).
Front-Panel Templates
Front-panel templates are the same for all sizes of the relay. Figure 2.1 illustrates
an example front-panel templates. The front panel has three pockets for slide-in
labels: one pocket for the target LED labels, and two pockets for the operator
control labels. Figure 2.1 shows the front-panel pocket areas and openings for
typical relay orientations; dashed lines denote the pocket areas. Refer to the
instructions included in the Configurable Label kit for information on reconfigur-
ing front-panel LED and pushbutton labels.

Connector Types
Screw-Terminal Connectors—I/O and Battery Monitor/Power
Connection to the relay I/O and Monitor/Power terminals on the rear panel is
through screw-terminal connectors. You can remove the entire screw-terminal
connector from the back of the relay to disconnect relay I/O, dc battery monitor,
and power without removing each wire connection. The screw-terminal connec-
tors are each uniquely keyed (see Figure 2.31) and will only fit into one slot on
the rear panel. In addition, the receptacle key prevents you from inverting the
screw-terminal connector. This feature makes relay removal and replacement eas-
ier.
Connectorized
The Connectorized SEL-400G features receptacles that accept plug-in/plug-out
connectors for terminating CT and PT inputs. This requires ordering a Connec-
torized wiring harness kit (SEL-WA0487E) with mating plugs and wire leads.
Figure 2.3 shows the relay with Connectorized CT and PT analog inputs (see
Connectorized on page 2.33 for more information).

Secondary Circuits
The SEL-400G presents a low burden load on the CT secondaries and PT second-
aries. The relay accepts the following five sets of three-phase CT inputs:
➤ IAS, IBS, and ICS
➤ IAT, IBT, and ICT
➤ IAU, IBU, and ICU
➤ IAW, IBW, and ICW
➤ IAX, IBX, and ICX
If the Y terminals is configured as Y, a sixth three-phase CT input is available as
follows:
IAY, IBY, and ICY
WARNING If the Y terminals is configured as 1PH, then the relay also accepts the following

ing of the CT.
For 5 A terminals, the rated nominal input current, INOM, is 5 A. For 1 A termi-
nals, the rated nominal input current, INOM, is 1 A. For 0.2 A terminals, the
rated nominal input current, INOM, is 0.2 A. Continuous input current for both
relay types is 3 • INOM (or 4 • INOM as high as 55°C). See AC Current Inputs
(Secondary Circuits) on page 1.18 for complete CT input specifications.
The relay also accepts the following two sets of three-phase potentials from
power system PT or CCVT (capacitor-coupled voltage transformer) secondaries.
➤ VAV, VBV, and VCV
➤ VAZ, VBZ, and VCZ
The SEL-400G supports several variations of VT configurations and connections.
See Configuration of Voltage Inputs on page 5.3 for more information.
The nominal line-to-neutral input voltage for the PT inputs is 67 volts with a
range of 0–300 volts, and a burden of less than 0.1 VA at 125 volts, L-N. PT con-
nections can be four-wire (wye) or open-delta connections.
Control Inputs
The SEL-400G inputs on the I/O interface boards (INT2, INT4, INT7, INT8, or
INTD I/O boards) are fixed pickup threshold, optoisolated, control inputs. Spec-
ify the pickup voltage level for each board when you order the relay. Use these
inputs for monitoring change-of-state conditions of power system equipment.
Inputs can be independent or common. Independent inputs have two separate
ground-isolated connections, with no internal connections among inputs. Com-
mon inputs share one input leg in common; all input legs of common inputs are
ground-isolated. Each group of common inputs is isolated from all other groups.
Nominal current drawn by these inputs is 8 mA or less with six voltage options
covering a wide range of voltages, as listed in Interface Board (I/O) Options on
page 1.12. You can debounce the control input pickup delay and dropout delay
separately for each input, or you can use a single debounce setting that applies to
all the contact input pickup and dropout times (see Global Settings on page 8.2).
AC Control Signals
Optoisolated control inputs can be used with ac control signals, within the ratings
shown in Interface Board (I/O) Options on page 1.12. Table 2.1 shows the spe-
cific pickup and dropout time-delay settings necessary when applying ac to the
inputs.
Control Outputs
I/O control outputs from the relay include standard outputs, hybrid (high-current
interrupting) outputs, and high-speed high-current interrupting outputs. Form A
(normally open) output contacts are individually isolated, and Form C outputs
share a common connection between the NC (normally closed) and NO (nor-
mally open) contacts.
The relay updates control outputs every 2.5 ms. Updating of relay control outputs
does not occur when the relay is disabled. When the relay is reenabled, the con-
trol outputs assume the state that reflects the protection processing at that instant.

Figure 2.6 INT4 High-Speed Control Output Connection (Three Terminals)
Figure 2.7 shows a representative connection for a Form A fast hybrid control
output on the INT8 I/O interface terminals.
The INT8 high-speed contact output uses three terminal positions, while the
INT4 high-speed contact output uses two. The third terminal of each INT8 high-
speed control output is connected to precharge resistors that can be used to miti-
gate transient inrush current conditions, as explained below. A similar technique
can be used with INT4 board high-speed control outputs using external resistors.
Short transient inrush current can flow at the closing of an external switch in
series with open high-speed contacts. This transient will not energize the circuits
in typical relay-coil control applications (trip coils and close coils), and standard
auxiliary relays will not pick up. However, an extremely sensitive digital input or
light-duty, high-speed auxiliary relay can pick up for this condition. This false
pickup transient occurs when the capacitance of the high-speed output circuitry
charges (creating a momentary short circuit that a fast, sensitive device sees as a
contact closure). A third terminal (03 in Figure 2.7) provides an internal path for
precharging the high-speed output circuit capacitance when the circuit is open.

Figure 2.7 High-Speed Control Output Typical Terminals, INT8
Figure 2.8 shows some possible connections for this third terminal that will elim-
inate the false pickup transients when closing an external switch. In general, you
must connect the third terminal to the dc rail (positive or negative) that is on the
same side as the open external switch condition. If an open switch exists on either
side of the output contact, then you can accommodate only one condition because
two open switches (one on each side of the contact) defeat the precharge circuit.

For wiring convenience, on the INT8 I/O Interface Board, the precharge resistors
shown in Figure 2.8 are built into the I/O board, and connected to a third termi-
nal. On the INT4 I/O Interface Board, there are no built-in precharge resistors,
and each high-speed control output has only two terminal connections.
IRIG-B Inputs
The SEL-400G has a regular IRIG-B timekeeping mode, and a high-accuracy
IRIG-B timekeeping mode. The IRIG-B serial data format consists of a 1-second
frame containing 100 pulses divided into fields, from which the relay decodes the
second, minute, hour, and day fields and sets the internal time clock upon detect-
ing valid time data in the IRIG time mode. There is one IRIG-B input on the
SEL-400G rear panel, capable of supporting the HIRIG mode.
Battery-Backed Clock
If relay input power is lost or removed, a lithium battery powers the relay clock,
providing date and time backup. The battery is a 3 V lithium coin cell, Rayovac
no. BR2335 or equivalent. If power is lost or disconnected, the battery discharges
to power the clock. At room temperature (25°C), the battery will operate for
approximately 10 years at rated load.
When the SEL-400G is operating with power from an external source, the self-
discharge rate of the battery is very small. Thus, battery life can extend well
beyond the nominal 10-year period because the battery rarely discharges after the
relay is installed. The battery cannot be recharged.
If the relay does not maintain the date and time after power loss, replace the bat-
tery (see Replacing the Lithium Battery on page 10.27 in the SEL-400 Series
Relays Instruction Manual).
Communications Interfaces
The SEL-400G has several communications interfaces you can use to communi-
cate with other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) via EIA-232 ports: PORT 1,
PORT 2, PORT 3, and PORT F. See Section 10: Communications Interfaces for more
information and options for connecting your relay to the communications inter-
faces.
An optional Ethernet card provides Ethernet capability for the SEL-400G. An
Ethernet card gives the relay access to popular Ethernet networking standards
including TCP/IP, FTP, Telnet, DNP3, IEEE C37.118 Synchrophasors, and
IEC 61850 over local area and wide area networks (the Ethernet card with
IEC 61850 support is available at purchase as a factory-installed option). For
information on DNP3 applications, see Section 16: DNP3 Communication in the
SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual. For information on Modbus TCP
applications, see Modbus TCP Communication on page 10.59. For more informa-
tion on IEC 61850 applications, see Section 17: IEC 61850 Communication in
the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual.
Plug-In Boards
The SEL-400G is available in 8U (option of three interface boards).
An optional Ethernet plug-in communications card allows you to use TCP/IP,
FTP, Telnet, DNP3, LAN/WAN, and IEC 61850 applications on an Ethernet net-
work. This card is only available at the time of purchase of a new SEL-400G as a
factory-installed option or as a factory-installed conversion to an existing relay.
I/O of the interface boards vary by the type and amount of output capabilities.

puts of the I/O interface boards.

Jumpers
The SEL-400G contains jumpers that configure the relay for specific operating
modes. These jumpers are located on the main board (the top board) and the I/O
interface boards (one or two boards located immediately below the main board).

To confirm the positions of your I/O board jumpers, remove the front panel and
visually inspect the jumper placements. Table 2.6 lists the four jumper positions
for I/O interface boards. Refer to Figure 2.16 for the locations of these jumpers.
The I/O board control address has a hundreds-series prefix attached to the control
inputs and control outputs for that particular I/O board chassis slot. A 6U chassis
has a 200-addresses slot for inputs IN201, IN202, etc., and outputs OUT201,
OUT202, etc. A 7U chassis has a 200-addresses slot and a 300-addresses slot.
The drawout tray on which each I/O board is mounted is keyed. See Installing

Relay Placement
Proper placement of the SEL-400G helps make certain that you receive years of
trouble-free power system protection. Use the following guidelines for proper
physical installation of the SEL-400G.
Physical Location
You can mount the SEL-400G in a sheltered indoor environment (a building or an
enclosed cabinet) that does not exceed the temperature and humidity ratings for
the relay.
The relay is rated at Installation/Overvoltage Category II and Pollution Degree 2.
This rating allows mounting the relay indoors or in an outdoor (extended) enclo-
sure where the relay is protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipita-
tion, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity are controlled.
You can place the relay in extreme temperature and humidity locations. The tem-
perature range over which the relay operates is –40° to +185°F (–40° to +85°C,
see Operating Temperature on page 1.20). The relay operates in a humidity range
from 5 percent to 95 percent, no condensation, and is rated for installation at a
maximum altitude of 2000 m (6560 ft) above mean sea level.
Rack Mounting
The semiflush mount results in a small panel protrusion from the relay rack rails
of approximately 27.9 mm (1.1 in).
See Figure 2.17 for exact mounting dimensions. Use four screws of the appropri-
ate size for your rack.

Panel Mounting
Place the panel-mount versions of the SEL-400G in a switchboard panel. See the
drawings in Figure 2.17 for panel cut and drill dimensions (these dimensions
apply to both the horizontal and vertical panel-mount relay versions). Use the
supplied mounting hardware to attach the relay.
The 64S and 64F elements operate based on subscribed insulation resistor values
from the SEL-2664S Stator Ground Protection Relay and the SEL-2664 Field
Ground Module. The SEL-2664S is connected to the generator neutral and
injects a multi-sine current (I_SRC). Injecting a subharmonic signal onto the sta-
tor requires the SEL-2664S to be connected to the stator winding either through
the neutral grounding transformer (NGT) when the neutral grounding resistor
(NGR) is located on the NGT secondary (Figure 2.18) or through a voltage trans-
former of sufficient thermal rating if the NGR is connected between ground and
the generator neutral point (Figure 2.19). For complete guidance on SEL-2664S
application design and settings considerations, see the SEL-2664S Stator Ground
Protection Relay Instruction Manual.

From the injected I_SRC, the SEL-2664S calculates the insulation resistance and
capacitances and make them available to the SEL-400G through GOOSE mes-
sages. The SEL-2664 Field Ground Module directly measures the field insulation
resistance and sends it to the SEL-2664S, where the SEL-2664S makes it avail-
able as a GOOSE message for the SEL-400G. Note in Figure 2.20, the SEL-2664
is connected to the SEL-2664S.

Figure 2.20 Insulation Resistance and Capacitance Received From SEL-2664S
SEL-2664/SEL-2664S/SEL-400G Communication
Configuration
The SEL-400G can receive stator insulation resistance and capacitance (as well
as other signals) from an SEL-2664S over a communications channel. In addi-
tion, the SEL-400G can receive field insulation resistance from an SEL-2664 via
the SEL-2664S. These signals can then be mapped to the injection-based stator
ground fault function (64S) and the field ground fault function (64F). These sig-
nals can also be assigned to the analog signal profiling function and to event
reporting.
The physical communications connections are shown in Figure 2.21. The Ether-
net Port 5 of the SEL-400G is connected to Port 1 of the SEL-2664S. A duplex,
multimode fiber-optic cable (SEL-C808) can be used for this connection. The
serial port (TX) on the SEL-2664 is connected to the RX of Port 2 of the
SEL-2664S. A simplex, multimode fiber-optic cable (SEL-C807) is used for this
connection.
Ethernet Switch
SEL-2664 SEL-2664S
The IEC 61850 protocol is used for communications between the SEL-400G and
the SEL-2664S. After establishing communications between the two relays, use
ACSELERATOR Architect SEL-5032 Software to map the logical nodes in the
SEL-400G IED capability description (ICD) file for GOOSE receive and
SEL-2664S data set for transmit.
The SEL-400G IEC 61850 compatibility library provides the logical nodes for
the stator insulation resistance and capacitance streamed directly from the
SEL-2664S and for the field insulation resistance indirectly sent from the
SEL-2664 via the SEL-2664S. The SEL-2664 transmits the measured field insu-
lation resistance to the SEL-2664S, and the subscribing unit, the SEL-400G,
receives this measurement from the SEL-2664S along with the stator insulation
resistance and capacitance measured values.
As Table 2.7 indicates, the SEL-400G IEC 61850 library describes the functional
constraint, the logical nodes, and their attributes. The three analog signals avail-
able to the SEL-400G as GOOSE messages are mapped using Architect to be
received and mapped to remote analogs. There is also a quality bit (SV01) that
provides an indication to the SEL-400G on the health of the analog data.

The following steps summarize the process of configuring each relay for trans-
mission and reception of the items listed in Table 2.7 by using Architect.
Step 1. In the Architect project editor (Figure 2.22), add the two devices
(SEL-400G and SEL-2664S) and enter the communications details
for each device.
Step 2. From the project editor, select the Datasets tab (Figure 2.23) and
select New.
Step 5. From GOOSE transmit window (Figure 2.26), open the Datasets tab
at the bottom of the window and select the data set name as it was set
on the data set editor at Figure 2.24. Fill out the message name and
GOOSE ID and configure the address data.
Step 6. Highlight on the SEL-400G device from the left window and select
GOOSE Receive (Figure 2.27). Collapse the SEL-2664S tab from
the middle window and drag all three analog GOOSE attributes to the
right side of the window under RA for remote analogs.
Step 7. Do the same to the fourth item in the list (digital quantity) under VB
for virtual bit (Figure 2.28).
Step 9. Right-click SEL-400G under the project name and select SEND
CID (Figure 2.29). Make sure the CID file is saved in the SEL-400G
by typing GOOSE on the terminal.
Step 10. To verify the reception of insulation resistance and capacitance for
metering or 64S and 64F logic operations, map the received remote
analogs to the analog quantities of 64S and 64F and map the received
digital virtual bit to 64S and 64F quality bit settings as shown.

Map RA[256] to PMVnn and map VBnn to PSVnn to show the received analog
and digital quantities through MET PMV.
The fundamental metering in the MET G command displays the resistance and
capacitance values of the stator and field insulations as they are received by the
SEL-400G. The total operating time to update changing values including the con-
figurable time delay could be as long as 500 ms.

and wire management. Be sure to use wire that is appropriate for your installation
with an insulation rating of at least 90°C.
Rear-Panel Layout
Figure 2.2–Figure 2.3 show some of the available SEL-400G rear panels.
All relay versions have screw-terminal connectors for I/O, power, and battery
monitor. You can order the relay with fixed terminal blocks for the CT and PT
connections, or you can order SEL Connectorized rear-panel configurations that
feature plug-in/plug-out PT connectors and shorting CT connectors for relay ana-
log inputs.
The screw-terminal connections for the INT2 and the INT7 I/O interface boards
are the same. The INT8 I/O interface board has control output terminals grouped
in threes, with the fourth terminal as a blank additional separator (Terminals 4, 8,
12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32). The INT4 and INT8 I/O interface boards both contain
fast hybrid control outputs, but use a different terminal layout—see Control Out-
puts on page 2.6 for details.
For more information on the main board control inputs and control outputs, see
IRIG-B Inputs on page 2.8. For more information on the I/O interface board con-
trol inputs and control outputs, see I/O Interface Board Jumpers on page 2.15.
Rear-Panel Symbols
There are important safety symbols on the rear of the SEL-400G (see
Figure 2.30). Observe proper safety precautions when you connect the relay at
terminals marked by these symbols. In particular, the danger symbol located on
the rear panel corresponds to the following: Contact with instrument terminals
can cause electrical shock that can result in injury or death. Be careful to limit
access to these terminals.
Screw-Terminal Connectors
Terminate connections to the SEL-400G screw-terminal connectors with ring-
type crimp lugs. Use a #8 ring lug with a maximum width of 9.1 mm (0.360 in).
The screws in the rear-panel screw-terminal connectors are #8-32 binding-head,
slotted, nickel-plated brass screws. Tightening torque for the terminal connector
screws is 1.0 Nm to 2.0 Nm (9 in-lb to 18 in-lb).
You can remove the screw-terminal connectors from the rear of the SEL-400G by
unscrewing the screws at each end of the connector block. Perform the following
steps to remove a screw-terminal connector.
Step 1. Remove the connector by pulling the connector block straight out.
Note that the receptacle on the relay circuit board is keyed; you can
insert each screw-terminal connector in only one location on the rear
panel.
Step 2. To replace the screw-terminal connector, confirm that you have the
correct connector and push the connector firmly onto the circuit
board receptacle.
Step 3. Reattach the two screws at each end of the block.

Grounding
Connect the grounding terminal (#Y31) labeled GND on the rear panel to a rack
frame ground or main station ground for proper safety and performance. This
protective earthing terminal is in the lower right side of the relay panel. The sym-
bol that indicates the grounding terminal is shown in Safety Symbols on page xxii
in the Preface. Use 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) or larger wire less than 2 m (6.6 ft) in
length for this connection. This terminal connects directly to the internal chassis
ground of the SEL-400G.
Power Connections
The terminals labeled POWER on the rear panel (#Y29 and #Y30) must connect to a
power source that matches the power supply characteristics that your SEL-400G
specifies on the rear-panel serial number label (see Power Supply on page 1.18,
for complete power input specifications). For the relay models that accept dc
input, the serial number label specifies dc with the symbol shown in Figure 2.30.
The POWER terminals are isolated from chassis ground. Use 0.8 mm2 (18 AWG)
NOTE: The combined voltages
applied to the POWER and MONITOR or larger wire to connect to the POWER terminals. Connection to external power
terminals must not exceed 600 V (rms must comply with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 and must be identified as the
or dc).
disconnect device for the equipment. Place an external disconnect device, switch/
fuse combination, or circuit breaker in the POWER leads for the SEL-400G; this
device must interrupt both the hot (H/+) and neutral (N/–) power leads. The cur-
rent rating for the power disconnect circuit breaker or fuse must be 20 A maxi-
mum.
Operational power is internally fused by power supply Fuse F1. Table 2.8 lists the
SEL-400G power supply fuse requirements. Be sure to use fuses that comply
with IEC 127-2.
You can order the SEL-400G with one of three operational power input ranges
listed in Table 2.8. Each of the three supply voltage ranges represents a power
supply ordering option. As noted in Table 2.8, model numbers for the relay with
these power supplies begin 0487E3Xn (or 487E4Xn), where n is 2, 4, or 6, to
indicate low, medium, and high voltage input power supplies, respectively. Note
that each power supply range covers two widely used nominal input voltages.
The SEL-400G power supply operates from 30 Hz to 120 Hz when ac power is
used for the POWER input.
Operational Model
Rated Voltage Fuse F1 Fuse Description
Voltage Range Number
The SEL-400G accepts dc power input for all power supply models. The 48–125 Vdc
supply also accepts 110–120 Vac; the 125–250 Vdc supply also accepts 110–240 Vac.
When connecting a dc power source, you must connect the source with the
proper polarity, as indicated by the + (Terminal #Y29) and – (Terminal #Y30) sym-
bols on the power terminals. When connecting to an ac power source, the + Ter-
minal #Y29 is hot (H), and the – Terminal #Y30 is neutral (N). Each model of the
SEL-400G internal power supply exhibits low power consumption and a wide
input voltage tolerance. For more information on the power supplies, see Power
Supply on page 1.18.
Connectorized
For the Connectorized SEL-400G, order the wiring harness kit, SEL-WA0487E.
The wiring harness contains eight prewired connectors for the relay current and
voltage inputs.
You can order the wiring harness with various wire sizes and lengths. Contact
your local Technical Service Center or the SEL factory for ordering information.
Perform the following steps to install the wiring harness:
Step 1. Plug the CT shorting connectors into terminals #Y01 through #Y18 and
#Z01 through #Z18 as appropriate.
Odd-numbered terminals are the polarity terminals.
Step 2. Secure the connector to the relay chassis with the two screws located
on each end of the connector.
When you remove the CT shorting connector, pull straight away
from the relay rear panel.
As you remove the connector, internal mechanisms within the
connector separately short each power system current transformer.
You can install these connectors in only one orientation.
Step 3. Plug the PT voltage connectors into terminals #Y19 to #Y24 for the
VV inputs, and #Z19 to #Z24 for the VZ inputs, as appropriate.
Odd-numbered terminals are the polarity terminals. You can install
these connectors in only one orientation.
Control Inputs
NOTE: The combined voltages Table 2.2 lists the control inputs available with the relay.
applied to the INnnn and OUTnnn
terminals must not exceed 600 V
(rms or dc).
Optoisolated
Optoisolated control inputs are not polarity sensitive. These inputs respond to
voltage of either polarity, and can be used with ac control signals when properly
configured.
Note that INTC and INTD I/O interface boards have two sets of nine inputs that
share a common leg (see Figure 2.9).
Assigning
To assign the functions of the control inputs, see Operating the Relay Inputs and
Outputs on page 3.54 in the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual for more
details. You can also use SEL Grid Configurator Software to set and verify oper-
ation of the inputs.
Control Outputs
The SEL-400G has the following three types of outputs:
➤ Standard outputs
➤ Hybrid (high-current interrupting) outputs
➤ High-speed, high-current interrupting (for example: INT4 board
OUT01). See Control Outputs on page 2.6 for more information.
You can connect the standard outputs and the high-speed, high-current interrupt-
ing outputs in either ac or dc circuits. Connect the high-current interrupting out-
puts to dc circuits only. The screw-terminal connector legends alert you about
these requirements by showing polarity marks on the hybrid (high-current inter-
rupting) contacts and HS marks on the high-speed, high-current interrupting con-
tacts. Two pairs of Form C contacts are on the main board.
Alarm Output
The relay monitors internal processes and hardware in continual self-tests. Also
see Relay Self-Tests on page 10.19 in the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Man-
ual. If the relay senses an out-of-tolerance condition, the relay declares a Status
Warning or a Status Failure. The relay signals a Status Warning by pulsing the
HALARM Relay Word bit (hardware alarm) to a logical 1 for five seconds. For a
status failure, the relay latches the HALARM Relay Word bit at logical 1.
To provide remote alarm status indication, connect the b contact of an output con-
tact to your control system remote alarm input. Figure 2.34 shows the configura-
tion of the a and b contacts of control output OUT215, using INT2 as an example.
a b
N/O N/C
(connect alarm here)
OUT215 C OUT215
Figure 2.34 Control Output OUT215 (INT2)
When the relay is operating normally, the NOT HALARM signal is at logical 1
and the b contacts of control output OUT215 are open.
When a status warning condition occurs, the relay pulses the NOT HALARM
signal to logical 0 and the b contacts of OUT215 close momentarily to indicate
an alarm condition.
For a status failure, the relay disables all control outputs and the OUT215 b con-
tacts close to trigger an alarm. Also, when relay power is off, the OUT215 b con-
tacts close to generate a power-off alarm. See Relay Self-Tests on page 10.19 in
the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual for information on relay self-tests.
The relay pulses the SALARM Relay Word bit for software programmed condi-
tions; these conditions include settings changes, access level changes, and alarm-
ing after three unsuccessful password entry attempts.
The relay also pulses the BADPASS Relay Word bit after three unsuccessful
password entry attempts.
You can add the software alarm SALARM to the alarm output by entering the
following SELOGIC control equation.
OUT215 := NOT (HALARM OR SALARM)
Serial Ports
The SEL-400G serial communications ports use EIA-232 standard signal levels
in a DB-9 connector. To establish communication between the relay and a DTE
device (a computer terminal, for example) with a DB-9 connector, use an
SEL-C234A cable. Alternatively, you can use an SEL-C662 cable to connect to a
USB port.
Figure 2.32 shows the configuration of an SEL-C234A cable that you can use for
basic ASCII and binary communication with the relay. A properly configured
ASCII terminal, terminal emulation program, or Grid Configurator along with
the SEL-C234A cable provide communication with the relay in most cases.

ports of this equipment as a result of
using non-SEL cables. Never use stan-
dard null-modem cables with this
equipment.
The following list provides additional rules and practices you should follow for
successful communication using EIA-232 serial communications devices and
cables.
➤ Route communications cables well away from power and control
circuits. Switching spikes and surges in power and control circuits
can cause noise in the communications circuits if power and control
circuits are not adequately separated from communications cables.
➤ Keep the length of the communications cables as short as possible to
minimize communications circuit interference and also to minimize
the magnitude of hazardous ground potential differences that can
develop during abnormal power system conditions.
➤ Ensure that EIA-232 communications cable lengths never exceed
15.25 m (50 ft), and always use shielded cables for communications
circuit lengths greater than 13.05 m (10 ft).
➤ Modems provide communication over long distances and give
isolation from ground potential differences that are present between
device locations (examples are the SEL-2800 series transceivers).
➤ Lower data speed communication is less susceptible to interference
and will transmit greater distances over the same medium than higher
data speeds. Use the lowest data speed that provides an adequate data
transfer rate.

Twisted-Pair Networks
While Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables dominate office Ethernet networks,
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables are often used in industrial applications. The
SEL-400G Ethernet card is compatible with standard UTP cables for Ethernet
networks as well as STP cables for Ethernet networks.
Typically UTP cables are installed in relatively low-noise environments including
NOTE: Use caution with UTP cables
as these cables do not provide offices, homes, and schools. Where noise levels are high, you must either use
adequate immunity to interference in STP cable or shield UTP using grounded ferrous raceways such as steel conduit.
electrically noisy environments unless
additional shielding measures are
employed. Several types of STP bulk cable and patch cables are available for use in Ethernet
networks. If noise in your environment is severe, you should consider using fiber-
optic cables. We strongly advise against using twisted-pair cables for segments
that leave or enter the control house.
If you use twisted-pair cables, you should use care to isolate these cables from
sources of noise to the maximum extent possible. Do not install twisted-pair
cables in trenches, raceways, or wireways with unshielded power, instrumenta-
tion, or control cables. Do not install twisted-pair cables in parallel with power,
instrumentation, or control wiring within panels; rather, make them perpendicular
to the other wiring.
You must use a cable and connector rated as Category 5 (Cat 5) to operate the
twisted-pair interface (10/100BASE-T) at 100 Mbps. Because lower categories
are becoming rare and because you may upgrade a 10 Mbps network to
100 Mbps, we recommend using all Cat 5 components.
Some industrial Ethernet network devices use 9-pin connectors for STP cables.
The Ethernet card RJ45 connectors are grounded so you can ground the shielded
cable using a standard, externally shielded jack with cables terminating at the
Ethernet card.

elements:
➤ Volts/Hertz elements
➤ Directional power elements
➤ Capability-based loss of field elements
➤ Current unbalance elements
➤ 100 percent stator ground elements
➤ Universal differential elements
The following paragraphs describe when each type of test is performed, the goals
of testing at that time, and the relay functions that you need to test at each point.
This information is intended as a guideline for testing SEL relays.
Volts/Hertz
Although the V/Hz element offers definite-time and user-defined elements, this
test shows how to test the user-defined function. For this test, you program a
SELOGIC variable to assert LEDs on the front panel to indicate the status of the
V/Hz element. You also program the SER to record the status of the V/Hz ele-
ment, and then use these recorded values to calculate the element operating
time(s).
Figure 3.5(A) shows a curve with four points defined, and Figure 3.5(B) shows an
intermediate point Pt (107,?) between Point 24U1101 and Point 24U1102.

In a similar manner to Volts/Hertz on page 3.5, you can program SELOGIC vari-
ables to assert LEDs on the front panel to indicate the status of the directional
power element. You can also program the SER to record the status of the element,
and then use these recorded values to calculate the element operating time(s). The
active Relay Word bits for this test are the following.
Generator power for this example is calculated by the relay by using the W termi-
nal current and the Z terminal voltage input. The default value of the Z input line-
to-line nominal voltage, VNOMZ, is 110 volts. Nominal line-to-neutral voltage is
therefore, 110 V / 3 = 63.51 V.

Undervoltage Test
Zone 2 operates via the accelerated tripping path when the positive-sequence sec-
ondary voltage is less than the 40PUVP setting. The Zone 2 characteristic can
shift dynamically with voltage depending on the 40P2K setting.
For this test, a voltage that is 1 volt less than the 40PUVP setting (92 volts) will
be applied. The Zone 2 voltage coefficient, 40P2K, equals 1. The secondary cur-
rent is given by:

Table 3.17 lists the expected pickup current for each test and the corresponding

that of the test carried out at nominal voltage but the corresponding power is
reduced by a factor of 91/115.

Third-Harmonic Tests
This section provides a test to verify the operation of the 64G2 and 64G3 ele-
ments. This test uses the test connection of Figure 3.4(A).
Because these elements operate from the third-harmonic component of the volt-
age, we must inject a composite voltage with a fundamental component (50 or
60 Hz) and a third harmonic into the Z terminal.
Note that the third-harmonic component should be injected into all three phases
with an angle of zero between each phase.
Note also that the element asserts 64GAAL when the angle between the third-
harmonic voltage drops at the generator terminals and neutral is outside the set-
ting range 64GANCH and 64GANCL. For a secondary injection test that uses the
circuit of Figure 3.4(A), this angle will be in the range of 180 degrees.
The common settings are shown in Table 3.24.

Autosynchronizer
This section provides a commissioning example for the autosynchronizer, which
includes steps for determination of autosynchronizer settings that govern control
pulse slope, period, and duration (25AVSLP, 25AVPER, 25AVDUR, 25AFSLP,
25AFPER, and 25AFDUR).

Synchronizing Ynd1 System
Breaker
Generator PTZ

SEL-400G
This section assumes that the Breaker S synchronism-check element will be used.
The settings for this function are shown in Table 3.35. In this example, an auto-
synchronism operation is configured to start (25ASTS) through use of IN201 and
is configured to cancel (25ACNS) through use of IN202. Alternately, front-panel
pushbuttons can be assigned to these settings.
Settings for the pulse control characteristics for frequency and voltage matching
are often made in the field. The generator controls (governor and voltage regula-
tor) and their associated systems (prime mover and field) constitute a complex
electromechanical system with multiple gains and time constants. Often, infor-
mation is not available to determine settings in advance. Measurements made in
the field during initial setup can be used to tune the system.
NOTE: This procedure does not Optimal tuning of the settings for the pulse control characteristic is important to
replace your company’s procedures
and safe work practices. performance of the system. Too aggressive settings can increase the time it takes
to synchronize a generator because the control overshoots the sync acceptance
bands and causes the control to hunt. On the opposite side, setting the control
characteristic too low causes the control to take a long time to move the con-
trolled parameter into the sync acceptance band.
OUT201 := 25AFR
OUT202 := 25AFL
OUT203 := 25AVR
OUT204 := 25AVL
OUT205 := CLSS
The state of the system will be the same as that of previous tests. Namely, the
generator must be offline and operating at nominal frequency and voltage, the
frequency and voltage on the system-side of the breaker must be at nominal val-
ues, and the breaker closing circuit must be isolated from the breaker close coil to
allow the relay to issue a close command without inadvertently closing the gener-
ator breaker.
Step 1. If possible, adjust the generator voltage and frequency to be outside
the acceptance windows of the synchronism-check element.
Step 2. Use the TAR command to confirm that BSYNBKS is deasserted.
This is a supervisory input that blocks a normal autosynchronization
operation.
Step 3. Initiate an autosynchronization operation via the operator interface.
Use the TAR command to confirm that 25AACT asserts
immediately.
Step 4. The autosynchronization operation will terminate once the 25ACD
timer expires. Use the FILE READ command to retrieve the
disturbance report from Step 3. This report will be generated from
the assertion of the CLSS Relay Word bit.
Step 5. From the report, confirm that 25AVR and/or 25AVL pulses were
generated while the voltage difference was outside the synchronism-
check voltage-difference acceptance window. Matching of voltage
should occur in a reasonable time frame and with no tendency for
hunting.
Step 6. From the report, confirm that 25AFR and/or 25AFL pulses were
generated while the frequency difference was outside the
synchronism-check slip acceptance window. Matching of frequency
should occur in a reasonable time frame and with no tendency for
hunting. Note in this example that the autosynchronizer is configured
for biased operation.
Step 7. From the report, confirm that the 25CS asserted in advance of the
generator and system coming into synchronism. The time of advance
closing should agree with the measured slip and TCLSBKn setting.
Step 8. From the report, confirm that CFS asserts. This is expected because
the breaker does not close for this test.
Step 9. Use the SER command to confirm that 25ASTO asserts and the
scheme resets (25AACT deasserts). This is also expected since the
breaker does not close for this test.

Demand Meter
In the SEL-400G, the demand meter operate quantities are not fixed. Instead of
fixed operating quantities, select a suitable operating quantity (see Section 12:
Analog Quantities) for each of the 10 demand elements (see Demand Meter on
page 7.8 for more information).
Because you can select the number of demand elements, there will be either one
or two sets of demand meter screens. If you select five or fewer demand ele-
ments, then there is only one screen; for greater than five demand elements, there
are two screens. Figure 4.7 shows the demand screens. Screen (A) shows the
selected demand element operating quantities (a second screen is shown only if
more than five operating quantities are selected). Also, each operating quantity
can be either a rolling or a thermal calculation. This selection is shown by ROLL
PK or THERM PK following the operating quantity in Screen (A). Screen (B) and
Screen (C) show reset options for demand and maximum demand quantities. Use
the left arrow and right arrow pushbuttons to select a NO or YES response to the
reset prompt, and then press ENT to reset all of the metering quantities.
Energy Meter
Energy metering screens follow the demand meter screens. Figure 4.8(A) shows
the screen for Terminal S, Figure 4.8(B) the energy reset screen. Use the left
arrow and right arrow pushbuttons to select a NO or YES response to the reset
prompt, and then press ENT to reset all of the metering quantities.

Min/Max Meter
In the SEL-400G, the min/max meter operate quantities are not fixed. Instead of
fixed operating quantities, select a suitable operating quantity (see Section 12:
Analog Quantities) for each of the 30 min/max elements (see Metering on
page 7.2 for more information).
Because you can select the number of demand elements, there will be as many as
30 meter min/max screens. Figure 4.9(A) shows the selected min/max element
operating quantity, the minimum and maximum values and associated time-
stamps. Figure 4.9(B) is for resetting. Use the left arrow and right arrow pushbut-
tons to select a NO or YES response to the reset prompt, and then press ENT to reset

To assist with fault analysis, the SEL-400G displays the targets that asserted
during the event on the front panel. Use the right arrow pushbutton to move from
Screen (A) to Screen (B) in Figure 4.14. There are 24 alias items (ALIAS 01
through ALIAS 24), one for each of the front-panel LEDs. Use the SET T com-
mand to enter alias settings for Relay Word bits TLED_1 through TLED_24. If
no alias is defined for a particular TLED_x (x = 1 through 24), then the TLED_x
Relay Word bit name is displayed. Also, if the particular TLED_x target is not set
to be a tripping target, (i.e., TxLEDL setting is N), then it is not displayed.
Figure 4.14(D) shows the differential quantities for the event.
Breaker Monitor
The SEL-400G features an advanced circuit breaker monitor. Select BREAKER
MONITOR screens from the MAIN MENU to view circuit breaker monitor alarm data
on the front-panel display. Figure 4.15 shows the case where Monitor setting
EBMON = S T U, i.e., three breakers are enabled. (If only one breaker is enabled
[e.g., EBMON = S], then Figure 4.15(b) is not shown, and Figure 4.15(c) appears
directly). Use the navigation pushbuttons to choose between BREAKER S,
BREAKER T, or BREAKER U. Press ENT to view the selected circuit breaker monitor
information, as shown in Figure 4.15(c). The BKR n ALARM COUNTER screen dis-
plays the number of times the circuit breaker exceeded certain alarm thresholds
(see Circuit Breaker Monitor on page 7.18).

Target LEDs
The SEL-400G gives you at-a-glance confirmation of relay conditions via 24
color-programmable operation and target LEDs, located in the middle of the
relay front panel, as shown in Figure 4.17. To provide clear visual indication,
choose between red and green for the ENABLED and TRIP LED colors. For the
remaining LEDs, choose among red, green, or amber.

TRIP RESET
40 LOF 49 THERMAL
78 OOS
SYS BACKUP
GENBKR FAIL
You can reprogram all of these indicators except the ENABLED and TRIP LEDs to
reflect other operating conditions than the factory-default programming
described in this section. Settings Tn_LED are SELOGIC control equations that,
when asserted during a relay trip event, light the corresponding LED. Parameter n
is a number from 1 through 24 that indicates each LED.
Program settings TnLEDL := Y to latch the LEDs when the Tn_LED SELOGIC
control equation is true, regardless of the status of TRIP. The LEDs will reset
with a subsequent TRIP or a TARGET RESET via the front panel or the TAR R com-
mand. When you set TnLEDL := N, the trip latch supervision has no effect and
the LED follows the state of the Tn_LED SELOGIC control equation. The relay
reports these targets in event report summaries. The asserted and deasserted col-
ors for the LED are determined with settings TnLEDC. Options include red,
green, amber, or off.
After setting the target LEDs, issue the TAR R command or press the TARGET
RESET button on the front panel to reset the target LEDs.
Use the slide-in labels to mark the LEDs with custom names. Included on the
SEL-400 Series Product Literature DVD is a custom label template to print labels
for the slide-in label areas.
Annunciator LED
Operator
Control Pushbutton
There are two ways to program the operator control pushbuttons. The first is
through front-panel settings PBnn_HMI (nn = 1–12). These settings allow any of
the operator control pushbuttons to be programmed to display a particular HMI
screen category. The HMI screen categories available are Alarm Points, Display
Points, Event Summaries, SER, and Bay Control. Front-panel setting NUM_ER
allows the user to define the number of event summaries that are displayed via
the operator control pushbutton; it has no effect on the event summaries automat-
ically displayed or the event summaries available through the main menu. Each
HMI screen category can be assigned to a single pushbutton.
Attempting to program more than one pushbutton to a single HMI screen cate-
gory will result in an error. After assigning a pushbutton to an HMI screen cate-
gory, pressing the pushbutton will jump to the first available HMI screen in that
particular category. If more than one screen is available, a navigation scroll bar
will be displayed. Pressing the navigation arrows will scroll through the available
screens. Subsequent pressing of the operator control pushbutton will advance
through the available screens, behaving the same as the right arrow or down
arrow pushbutton. Pressing the ESC pushbutton will return the user to the ROTAT-
ING DISPLAY. The second way to program the operator control pushbutton is
through SELOGIC control equations, using the pushbutton output as a program-
ming element.
Using SELOGIC control equations, you can readily change the default LED func-
tions. Use the slide-in labels to mark the pushbuttons and pushbutton LEDs with
custom names to reflect any programming changes that you make. The labels are
keyed; you can insert each Operator Control Label in only one position on the
front of the relay. Included on the SEL-400 Series Product Literature DVD is a
template for printing slide-in labels. See the instructions included in the Configu-
rable Label kit for more information on changing the slide-in labels.
The SEL-400G has two types of outputs for each of the front-panel pushbuttons.
Relay Word bits represent the pushbutton presses. One set of Relay Word bits fol-
lows the pushbutton and another set pulses for one processing interval when the
button is pressed. Relay Word bits PB1–PB12 are the “follow” outputs of opera-
tor control pushbuttons. Relay Word bits PB1_PUL–PB12PUL are the pulsed
outputs.
One-Line Diagrams
One-line diagrams are fully explained in Section 5: Control in the SEL-400
Series Relays Instruction Manual. The SEL-400G supports as many as ten
scrollable single-line diagrams from the HMI, with the first single-line diagram
appearing in the rotating display.
By using Grid Configurator, you can include the bay control screens in the rotat-
ing display. Select ONELINE (found under Front Panel settings), selectable
screens, as shown in Figure 4.19.
You can also configure an HMI pushbutton to give you direct access to the bay
control screen. Figure 4.20 shows an example of how to configure HMI Pushbut-
ton 3 to provide this access by selecting the BC option from the drop-down menu.
Panning
When you specify a custom layout that is too large for one screen, you can take advan-
tage of the panning feature to display sections not visible in the present screen view.
Figure 4.21 and Figure 4.22 show an example station with a breaker-and-a-half applica-
tion.

The EGNCT setting is used to define the three-phase current on the neutral side
of the generator (G). Protection elements associated with the generator (21P, 40,
46, 51V/C, and 78) use this current. Valid selections for this setting are W, X, and
the combination of W and X (for generators with two neutrals).
The ESYSCT setting determines the terminals at the output of the generator. The
overcurrent and breaker failure elements use these currents.
Currents do not need to be assigned to EGNCT to be used by the differential ele-
ments.
Power calculations are carried out for any terminals included in the EPCAL set-
ting. Note that power calculations are always carried out for the generator neutral
current (terminal G).
The Y current input can be configured either as a three-phase or a single-phase
input by using the CTCONY setting. If CTCONY := Y, the Y terminal is avail-
able for the differential element. If CTCONY := 1PH, the individual Y terminals
are available for single-phase current and REF elements, but it is unavailable for
phase/sequence current elements, breaker failure, differential elements, and
power calculations.

Frequency Tracking
Table 5.5 Frequency Tracking Settings
The SEL-400G can track the frequency of both the generator (G) and system (S)
independently. The Z voltage input is used for tracking the generator frequency
(FREQPG). The ESYSPT setting determines the voltage used for tracking the
system frequency (FREQPS). This is a subgroup of the V voltage inputs (see Sys-
tem Frequency Source on page 5.6). If ESYSPT is set to OFF, the relay does not
calculate the system frequency.
The frequency source settings (FTSRCm) define which frequency source is used
to track a particular input. If ESYSPT = OFF, all inputs are frequency-tracked
using the generator frequency. Table 5.6 describes the available assignments. In
the case of single-phase inputs, individual assignments can be made for each
phase.
As noted in the previous table, the Z, W, and X terminals always use FREQPG as
the frequency tracking source. The FTSRC setting is viewable for these terminals
but cannot be changed from G.
For many applications, all frequency source assignments can be left at their
default assignments and all frequency tracking will be carried out using
FREQPG.
Tracking of the system frequency is primarily used when a synchronism-check
function is enabled or when there is a breaker on the low side of the transformer
and the generator can be operated at an off-nominal frequency; for example, a
combustion gas turbine that uses static starting. In this case, all the inputs to each
differential zone can be tracked at the same frequency.
If a system frequency has been defined, independent V/Hz operating signals can
also be configured. See Volt/Hertz Elements on page 5.104 for more details.
Relay Word bit 27B81a asserts if Vtr falls lower than the 81UVSP setting value

Note that the MVAGEN value entered should be the rated MVA of the generator.
If the generator MW rating at a rated lagging power factor is given, MVAGEN
should be obtained by dividing the MW rating by the PF. Incorrect MVAGEN
value will effect the current unbalance element calculations.
XDGEN, XQGEN, XDPGEN, XTXFR, XESYS, and Z1MAG all must be in pu

The relay internally calculates ohmic values by multiplying the pu quantities with
ZNOMGS variable. 40P3 uses the ohmic values to provide SSSL protection for
the generator. The 40P3 implementation details are given in a capability curve-
based LOF element.
Grid Configurator also provides relay loadability operating point in the 21P plot
to observe if this point encroaches inside the load-responsive protective elements,
e.g., 21P. Necessary settings adjustments can be done based on this plot. This
operating point requires the settings in pu of RLP, RLQ, RLV, and RLM. The

with EM relays that use external switches.

terminals. These will be the downstream terminals (on the machine side) of the
reversing switch. Terminals that are configured as single phase are not trans-
posed. PSPHREV defines which phases are transposed when the machine
switches to motor mode.
PSMODE is a SELOGIC control equation that determines when the machine is
operating in motor mode. This will be primarily driven by the reversing switch
status, but it also allows the user to build additional security for this indication.
For example, a transition from generator to motor only occurs when the machine
is offline
The following is an example. The 25, 32, 40, 46, 78, and 87 are all impacted by
the reversing switch. The generator is converted from generator to motor opera-
tion by transposing the B- and C-Phases, as shown in Figure 5.14. However, we
only need to identify the terminals downstream from the reversing switch. How-
ever, because the Z terminal is transposed for the other generator elements, the W
terminal (not shown) also needs to be transposed.

ferential elements, the SEL-400G operates substantially faster than relays that
use legacy differential characteristic. The external/internal fault detection super-
vision adds security during external faults with CT saturation.
The first step in configuring a zone is the selection of the currents that make up
the zone by using the E87Zn setting. The same current terminal can be shared by
both zones. Note that terminals within a zone must use the same frequency track-
ing source. See Frequency Tracking on page 5.12 for more information.
Each element can be configured with or without an in-zone transformer. When
the in-zone transformer setting, E87XFRn, is set to Y, the element becomes a
fully featured transformer differential element with the following added func-
tions:
➤ Connection compensation
➤ Waveshape-based inrush detection
➤ Harmonic inrush blocking and restraint
➤ Raw unrestrained differential
➤ Negative-sequence differential
If E87XFRn = N, the E87Hn and E87Qn settings are forced to their default val-
ues and hidden.
See Section 6: Protection Application Examples for application examples.
Compensation Calculations
The relay carries out tap and winding compensation calculations on the currents
that make up the zone to ensure that they sum to zero under normal operation.
Currents not included in a zone are forced to zero.
Tap compensation accounts for differences in current magnitude caused by an in-
zone transformer or caused by differing CT ratios. The relay uses the following
equation to automatically calculate the tap values. In this case, the tap settings are
visible but cannot be changed.
MVAn • 1000
87kTAPn = --------------------------------------------------------------------
3 • VTERMmn • CTRm
where:
MVAn = Transformer maximum MVA
VTERMmn = Terminal line-to-line voltage of the winding (kV)
CTRm = CT ratio
If MVAn is set to OFF, the automatic tap calculation is not done and the
87mTAPn settings must be entered manually.
The relay checks that the currents making up the zone are not severely mis-
matched by checking that the ratio of the largest to the smallest tap setting for the
zone is less than or equal to 35. If not, the last setting entry is rejected.
Connection compensation takes the form of a 3 x 3 matrix with elements deter-
mined according to the winding connection associated with the particular current.
If E87XFRn = N, the identity matrix is used, which is equivalent to no connec-
tion compensation. See Discussion on CT Connection Compensation on
page 5.43 for additional details on connection compensation.
Figure 5.16 shows how tap and connection compensations are carried out by the
relay.

significant dc component is present in any of the currents that make up the zone,
and there is relatively little differential current. Once the output is asserted, a spu-
rious differential current exceeding the slope (87KRDn) will not reset the output.
Assertion of DCpn is controlled by calibration settings that are factory-set at 0.05

also greater than 30 percent of the fundamental component.

Unrestrained Logic
The unrestrained differential detects high-magnitude internal faults. It provides
three mechanisms for tripping: a filtered-unrestrained logic (87UFn), a raw-unre-
strained logic (87URn, and the waveshape-based, bipolar high-set logic
(87BPHn). Note that only the filtered, unrestrained element is available when
there is no in-zone transformer.
The filtered-unrestrained logic operates when the filtered differential current
exceeds the unrestrained pickup setting.
The raw-unrestrained logic can be substantially faster than the filtered logic. It
uses the 1-cycle change in the raw differential current (see AC and DC External
Fault Detection Logic on page 5.21). The pickup setting is scaled by k, which is a
calibration with a factory setting of 2 • 2. The 2 accounts for the difference
between peak and rms and the two accounts for dc offset in the raw waveform.
The bipolar high-set function is more sensitive that either the filtered- or raw-
unrestrained functions because it can differentiate between inrush and internal
fault current. See Waveshape-Based Inrush Detection Logic on page 5.26 for
details.

Figure 5.24 Unrestrained Differential Logic
A dynamic security timer shown in the figure delays operation by 7.5 ms if either
the CONpn or INRpn Relay Word bits are asserted. Operation is delayed by
15 ms if both Relay Word bits are asserted. The timer output is ANDed with the
restrained torque-control Relay Word bit (87RTCn) to produce the restrained dif-
ferential output 87Rn. The restrained, unrestrained and rms Relay Word bits are
then combined to produce the differential output 87Zn.
monic blocking values from the other phases. 87XB2n, together with fifth-har-
monic blocking, 87pB5n, are used in the harmonic blocking path of the overall
logic as shown in Figure 5.40.
Output 87XB2n is also used to block the negative-sequence differential element
during inrush conditions (see Figure 5.26).
The harmonic integrity timers prevent differential element misoperation when
harmonic content momentarily drops below the harmonic threshold setting. The
control input at the bottom of the timer means that the DO timer is not timing if
the input picks up. If the input picks up continuously for 25 ms, the harmonic
integrity timer activates the 15 ms dropout timer. After activation, the dropout
timer keeps the output asserted for 15 ms after timer input deasserts. However, if
the input picks up again, the DO timer stalls, i.e., does not continue to count until
the input has dropped out again. For example, if the input drops out for 5 ms,
picks up and then drops out a second time, the timer output resets after 10 ms.
Note that the integrity timer for the fifth harmonic is disabled when 87UBLpn
asserts.

Figure 5.32 Differential Currents for an Internal Fault During Inrush Conditions
Figure 5.33 shows the differential current of the faulted phase of Figure 5.32
superimposed on two thresholds. Note that during inrush conditions (the first
72 milliseconds), the current is negative and it repeatedly crosses the negative
threshold (the dashed blue line in Figure 5.33). The current during this time does
not cross the symmetrically placed positive threshold (the dashed red line). When
the internal fault occurs, the current crosses the negative threshold and then
crosses the positive threshold shortly afterwards. Using this information, we cre-
ate a pair of bipolar differential overcurrent elements: a low-set element that we
can use to unblock the inrush blocking functions of the relay and a high-set ele-
ment that we can use for unrestrained differential protection. Because the ele-
ments work on a bipolar principle, we set the thresholds relatively sensitively and
still ensure security during inrush conditions.

components from the differential current. The CTUpn Relay Word bit asserts fol-
lowing an assertion of CONpn when the differential current is less than 10 per-
cent of the restraint current, the total harmonic current is less than 10 percent of
the restraint, and there are no appreciable dc components in the currents making
up the zone (see Figure 5.39). Note that if there is no in-zone transformer
(E87XFRn = N), the harmonic calculation is not carried out and the harmonic
currents are forced to zero.

CT Selection
CT selection criteria in the SEL-400G are defined in terms of the saturation fac-
tor (KS) for ANSI applications, and the transient dimensioning factor (KTD in
IEC 61869) shown in Table 5.11. Remanence is considered via the remanence
over-dimensioning factor (KREM) which is consistent with both IEEE C37.110
and IEC 61869, as shown in Equation 5.15. The CT selection guidance is only
applicable when 87UNBL = N.

K REM = ---------------------------------------
1 – Remanence
Equation 5.15
For example, a low remanence CT type, such as IEC TPY, that holds a maximum
remanence of 10 percent has a KREM of 1.1. The remanence level considered is
based on industry guidance on expected worst-case levels of remanence, as high
as 80 percent.

IEC CT Sizing
We size a 50 Hz 1A Class P 5P CT in this example. We assume 100 m of
2.5 mm2 wire at 75°C. This gives a one-way lead resistance of approximately
0.841 . We also assume CT winding resistance of 6 m per turn.

The minimum over-dimensioning for the 87T zone applying CT3 (1.89 from
Equation 5.39) and CT4 (2.1 from Equation 5.42) is 1.89. This provides us an
87SLP22 of 85 percent.
Use the E87Zn setting to enable a zone and to specify which terminals make up
the zone. A minimum of two terminals must be selected to enable a zone.
Depending on the application, you may not need all of these inputs for the differ-
ential protection.
Use the E87XFRn setting to specify that a transformer is within the zone. When
set to Y, the element carries out TAP and connection compensation. If inrush is
possible, then harmonic blocking and harmonic restraint can be enabled.

This results in a Slope 1 setting of
Set the unrestrained element pickup, 87UPn, to operate for very heavy current
levels that clearly indicate an internal fault. For in-zone transformer applications,
this is typically about 8 times tap. The unrestrained differential element only
responds to the fundamental frequency component of the differential operating
current. It is unaffected by the slope settings, and there is no harmonic blocking/
restraint for this element during inrush conditions. Thus, you must set the ele-
ment pickup level high enough that the element does not react to large inrush cur-
rents.
The rms element is used for instances where the generator operates at an off-
nominal frequency but the relay might be unable to track frequency. One example
is dynamic braking of a hydro generator. In this case, the generator speed is
ramping down but the generator terminals are shorted and the relay cannot mea-
sure the correct frequency. The generator is offline so CT saturation for external
faults is not a concern. Set the rms element pickup, 87RMPn below the minimum
expected fault current. Torque-control the element so that it is enabled only when
dynamic braking is active.

the transformer differential zone includes a load tap changer, assume that the tap

separated by 120 degrees. However, it removes zero-sequence components from
the terminal currents, as do all of the matrices having non-zero values of m, i.e.,
all matrices except CTC(0).

The setting 87mANGn specifies the phase rotation produced by the compensa-
tion matrix and has a range of –179.99 to 180.00 degrees.
For example, setting 87SCTC1 = 13 and 87SANG1 = 15 degrees rotates a bal-
anced set of Terminal S currents counterclockwise by 15 degrees in an ABC sys-
tem. In an ACB system, the rotation is in the clockwise direction.
Upon your entry of an MVAn setting (i.e., MVA is not set to OFF), the relay uses
the MVA, terminal voltage, CT ratio, and CT connection settings you have
entered and calculates the TAP values automatically. You can also enter tap val-
ues directly. Set MVA = OFF, and enter the TAPS–TAPX values directly, along
with the other pertinent settings. The relay calculates TAP with the following
limitations:
➤ The TAP settings are within the range 0.1 • INOM and 35 • INOM
(INOM = 1 A or 5 A)
➤ The ratio of the highest (TAPm / INOMm) to the lowest (TAPm /
INOMm) is less than or equal to 35.
Winding compensation can also be applied for transverse differential protection
of generators with parallel branches, as shown in Figure 5.43. This scheme can
be used as an alternative to conventional split-phase schemes. In this application,
the compensation matrices act to balance the differential under normal operation.

The relay uses filtered compensated currents (see Figure 5.45) and Equation 5.44
to calculate the negative-sequence currents for each terminal included in the dif-
ferential element (ABC phase rotation) when you have enabled the element
through the E87Q setting. The element calculates the negative-sequence operat-
ing and restraint current as shown in Equation 5.45 and Equation 5.46, respec-
tively.

are set in per unit of the 87nAPm 87AmFn

is the maximum of the negative-sequence currents among the terminals that are
part of the differential calculations. After evaluating the operating and restraint
currents in the differential element, the relay verifies that torque-control
(87QTCn) is asserted. This SELOGIC variable has a default value of NOT CONn
and NOT 87QBn. The default assignment checks that the fault is internal and that
the negative-sequence blocking logic is deasserted. (see Figure 5.46).

Figure 5.47 REF Directional Element
Because the REF element employs a neutral CT at neutral end of the winding and
a set of three CTs at the HV end of the winding, REF protection can detect only
ground faults within that particular generator or wye-connected transformer
winding. The element is restricted in the sense that protection is limited to ground
faults within a zone defined by neutral and reference CT placement.
The REF element uses comparison of zero-sequence currents, so the reference
CTs must be connected in wye for the element to function. Delta-connected CTs
cancel out all zero-sequence components of the currents, eliminating one of the
quantities the REF element needs for comparison.
To enable an REF element, Terminal Y must be configured as three single-phase
current inputs (CTCONY := 1PH). In this case, IAY, IBY, and ICY are unavail-
able and IY1, IY2, and IY3 are available. Figure 5.48 shows the 24 analog inputs
of the SEL-400G.

Table 5.18 shows the relationships among the input currents of the Y terminal
and the REF elements. These relationships are not settable; they are fixed and
must be observed when you use the REF function. For example, if you select
REF 1 for your application, wire the input current from the neutral CT to IY1.
The reference current is defined using the REFR1n setting. This setting allows
for several possible configurations of the REF element. Figure 5.49 shows two
examples. In Figure 5.49(A), the REF1 is applied to a low-impedance-grounded
generator. At the its terminals, the generator is equipped with a core balance CT
that is connected to the Y2 input and used as the reference current for the scheme.
In Figure 5.49(B), a transformer is feeding a ring bus through two breakers.
REF3 provides REF protection. The currents from each breaker are connected to
the S and T inputs where they are summated and used as the reference current.

IY1FM is the magnitude of the input current from the neutral CT connected to
Terminal IY1.
Comparator C1 compares the normalized IY1FM value against the REF50G1
Group setting and asserts if the measured quantity exceeds the threshold. Com-
parator C2 compares 0.8 of the REF50G1 setting value against the magnitude of
the reference current. The 0.8 multiplier secures the operation of the REFF1 ele-
ment. This ensures that the nondirectional output (NDREF1) does not assert for
an external fault (see Figure 5.52).

REF schemes are generally susceptible to external LLG faults that produce CT
saturation. Therefore, the scheme is supervised if the negative-sequence current
is greater than the pickup REF50G1 and also more than 10 times greater than
either I0REFM1 or IRREFM1.
If there is current flow at the terminals of the protected device (generator or trans-
former), the REF forward asserts when REFTQ1 is greater than THRES1 and
REF reverse asserts when REFTQ1 is less than THRES1. THRES1 is an adaptive
threshold that ensures security for very small currents or for an angle near +90 or
–90 degrees. A forward fault is declared when the element is enabled (see
Figure 5.50) and is not blocked by REFBLK1.
The logic declares a forward (internal) fault via the nondirectional path, NDREF1,
for the condition that current flows in the neutral (IONRFP1 asserts) but no cur-
rent flows at the terminals of the generator or transformer (IRREFP1 is deas-
serted) and the torque equation (TCREF1) is satisfied. Use TCREF1 to further
qualify the nondirectional output by checking, for example, the status of a
breaker.
Figure 5.53 shows the need for the nondirectional tripping path. A directional
check requires both an operating signal and a reference signal. If Fault F1 occurs
with the breaker open, no current flows through the breaker CT, and there is no
reference quantity present.

For fast tripping, include REFF1, the output of the REF element, into one or
more of the trip equations (Group settings TRk) as appropriate. If you want addi-
tional security, use the programmable 51 element in Figure 5.54 to delay trip-
ping. In Figure 5.54, the overcurrent element uses the neutral current (IY1FM) as
an input quantity. To avoid inadvertent tripping for external faults, use REFF1
(see Figure 5.52) in the torque-control equation (RF51TC1) of the overcurrent
element.

For applications such as frame leakage protection or sustained ground fault pro-

The REF element picks up when the generator neutral current exceeds the pickup
setting. This setting is scaled to the nominal secondary neutral current. For the
example shown in Figure 5.61, assume that R1 is sized to provide 200 A of fault
current, the neutral CT (CT1N) has a ratio of 50:5, and a coverage of 90 percent
of the winding is desired. The required pickup setting would be:
5 1
Pickup = 10% • 200 • ------ • --- = 0.4
50 5
5 1
Pickup = 40 • ------ • --- = 0.8
50 5
With a 200-ampere resistor, this translates to a coverage of
100% • (200 – 40) / 200 = 80% of the winding. You could still choose the 90 per-
cent coverage setting. The element will not operate unless there is a ground fault
but, in this case, a fault between 10–20 percent of G2 could cause both machines
to trip.
Use the E64Gn setting to enable a combination of the elements shown. If the
relay is used to protect a low impedance grounded machine, these elements are
not effective and should be disabled.
The outputs from the various functions are combined in the 64G output logic.
The output logic incorporates an acceleration path and integrating timer to
achieve dependable operation for stator grounds while remaining secure for
external events (see 64G Output Logic on page 5.70).

Typically, a generator produces varying amounts of third-harmonic voltage,
depending on machine construction and loading. Note that the third-harmonic
characteristics of generators have been observed to change over time.
Figure 5.68(A) shows the typical variation in the third-harmonic voltage magni-
tude on a healthy machine. Figure 5.68(B) shows how the voltage distributions
shifts because of a fault. A fault at the neutral reduces VN3FM to zero and
increases 3V0Z3M. A fault at the terminals reduces 3V0Z3M to zero and
increases VN3FM. There is a point near the center of the winding (o) in
Figure 5.68 where a fault produces no shift in the third-harmonic distribution.

The 64G2Rp setting is calculated to minimize V3DIF over the operating range of
the generator. The 64G2Pp setting determines the sensitivity of the element. This
setting should be set with margin greater than the largest value of V3DIF over the
operating range of the generator after 64G2Rp has been selected.
Because of the variations in the third harmonic, SEL recommends that you carry
out a survey of VN3F and 3V0Z3F while the generator MW and MVAR output
varies. Use the relay METER command to record the measured third-harmonic
voltages, then calculate the settings. At a minimum, these measurements must be

It is critical to carry out a third-harmonic survey over the generator real and reac-
tive power operating range to determine the optimal pickup setting. If the third-
harmonic is reduced to a very low value over a range of generator loading, the
64G2PMX and 64G2PMN settings can be used to block operation over this
range.

Accordingly, the ratio of |VN3F| / |VG3F| is used as the operating signal for this

As shown in Figure 5.76, the 64G3 element operates when 64G3Rp |VN3F| /
|VG3F|. During normal operation, this ratio is typically in the range of 0.4–0.85.
For a fault near the generator neutral, the ratio will be equal to the location of the
fault (measured from the neutral). A setting of 0.15 provides a reasonable overlap
with the 64G1 element. A third-harmonic survey is usually not required for this
element.

Equation 5.47
However, it is also possible for ground fault protection to pick up for external
events under conditions such as the following:
➤ A ground fault on the high-voltage side of the GSU can result in an
increase in the generator neutral voltage because of coupling through
the capacitance between the HV and LV windings.
➤ Depending on the VT connections, a ground fault on the VT
secondary wiring can also result in an increase in the generator
neutral voltage until the fault is cleared by the VT fuses.
The SEL-400G 64G output logic incorporates two mechanisms to provide more
effective tripping for ground faults.
Acceleration Path
The first mechanism is an acceleration path. Acceleration schemes discriminate
between faults within the generator zone and those occurring elsewhere. Identifi-
cation of the fault within the generator zone removes the need to time-coordinate.
Custom schemes can be implemented in SELOGIC and assigned to the 64ATC
SELOGIC control equation.
Integrating Timer
The second mechanism that provides improved performance for intermittent
faults is an integrating timer. The timer operates as follows: when the input
asserts, the timer accumulator increases linearly at a rate defined by the PU delay
setting. If the input deasserts, the accumulated value is frozen. If the input reas-
serts, the timer accumulator increases once again. If the input is deasserted for a
period longer than the dropout time, the timer output resets.

Figure 5.77 64G Integrating Timer
Figure 5.78 shows the output logic. The upper path is fed by the SELOGIC vari-
able 64GTIN. It can be considered as the nonaccelerated or normal path for trip-
ping. Elements assigned to this path operate via their own delay timers (64G1D,
64G2D, and 64G3D), regardless of the behavior of the acceleration logic or inte-
grating timer.
The lower path is fed by the SELOGIC variable 64GAIN. This is the accelerated
path. The default assignment is 64G1 OR 64G2 OR 64G3. The accelerated path
is supervised by the 64GATC SELOGIC variable and drives the integrating timer.
The integrating timer is intended to have a shorter pickup delay (64GD) as com-
pared with the 64G1D, 64G2D, and 64G3D pickup delays.

The delayed output Relay Word bits of the individual ground fault functions are
assigned to 64TIN by default. The pickup Relay Word bits of the individual
ground fault functions are assigned to 64AIN by default.
The recommended setting for the 64GATC is:
64GATC := NOT 46Q11
This assignment checks that there are no GSU HV faults that the 64G elements
could detect. It uses the pickup Relay Word bit of the generator unbalance ele-
ment. To provide correct supervision, this element must be enabled. It will typi-
cally be set to pick up at 5–10 percent of the generators negative-sequence
withstand. In this case, this Relay Word bit should assert dependably for any
faults at the GSU HV terminals.
The 64GAPU can be set in the range of 0.08–0.20 seconds. The default setting is
intended to be long enough to avoid tripping for a VT secondary fault. See VT
Secondary Ground Faults on page 5.73.
The 64GADO setting determines the duration until the timer accumulator reset
following deassertion of the input. They can be set in the range of 5–15 seconds.
Alternate VT Connections
The generator terminal VT connection determines the protection functions that
can be applied and the security risk to the 64G function. Connection A in
Figure 5.79 can provide phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground, positive-, negative-,
zero-sequence, and third-harmonic voltages. However, Connection A also puts
the 64G at risk for a VT secondary ground.
Connections B or C in Figure 5.79 provide phase-to-phase, positive-, and nega-
tive-sequence voltages and do not put 64G at risk. These connections allow most
generator protection functions to operate with the exception of the 64G2 (differ-
ential mode), 64G3, and zero-sequence overvoltage elements. However, if an
open-corner delta-connected VT winding (Connection D) is available, the
SEL-400G allows these functions to operate using this connection.
The use of Connection B, C, or D allows the 64GD timer setting to be reduced.

VT Fuse Coordination
If Connection A of Figure 5.79 is used then the 64G must be delayed to coordi-
nate with the VT secondary fuses. The 59G element voltage pickup is converted
to an equivalent minimum amperage pickup. The coordination process is illus-
trated using the example system of Figure 5.64.
The minimum VT secondary fault current for which the 64G1 responds is:

in a margin of approximately 80 ms or 5 cycles.

During a motoring event, the power element may dropout repeatedly because of
the oscillation of the rotor. The directional power element incorporates an inte-
grating timer to provide faster operation for these events. If enabled, the timer
element does not reset immediately following a dropout. Instead, the timer is dec-
remented at 1.33 times faster than its pickup rate. The timer can be forced to reset
immediately by setting 32RSnn to Y.
Biased Operation
In some instances, a generator may motor while supplying significant reactive
power to the system. Angle errors associated with the instrument transformers
can cause a loss of dependability when motoring at a lower power factor.

40P Zone 1
A generator can lose synchronism if it suffers a complete loss of field, especially
when it is operating near full load. A loss of field can occur for a variety of
events, such as a short or open circuit. The machine can be damaged quickly
because of the resulting overspeed and torque pulsations. The slip resulting from
the overspeed can induce currents on the damper bars and rotor body and can
damage the rotor because of excessive heating. A LOF event also poses a risk to
the power system. The Zone 1 element is intended to provide high-speed protec-
tion. The characteristic is located farther from the GCC, which makes it more
secure during stable power swings. This allows it to be set with a short delay with
no additional supervision, which is important for dependability. This zone is
analogous to the Zone 1 of the impedance-based LOF element. This characteris-
tic is defined by a reactive offset setting (40P1P) and a slope setting (40P1DIR).

In general, the relay measures the generator real power, 3PGF, in secondary watts
and applies it to a characteristic equation to calculate a reactive power pickup
threshold, QPKP_Z1. It then checks if the generator reactive power 3QGF, in sec-
ondary VARs, is less than the pickup threshold, QPKP_Z1. For the 40P Z1 ele-
ment the characteristic equation is:
3 • V1ZFM 2

Note that the voltage term makes this characteristic static in the impedance plane.
Figure 5.88 shows the logic for the 40P Zone 1. The following criteria should be
considered for the 40P1D setting:
➤ Short enough to prevent damage for a loss of field at full power (refer
to the guidance of the generator manufacturer).
➤ Short enough to allow the element to time out before the onset of
pole slipping
If these criteria result in a delay of less the 0.25 seconds, then a check should be
carried out to ensure that the element does not misoperate for stable power
swings.

40P Zone 2
The Zone 2 element protects against sustained operation in the underexcited
region of the PQ plane, below the GCC in Figure 5.89. Round-rotor generators
can suffer damage because of end-iron heating when operating in this region.
Underexcited operation can occur for several reasons, including high system
voltage or problems with nearby generators. The role of the underexcitation lim-
iter is to prevent operation in the underexcited region.
It is paramount that the 40P element does not operate for an event that can be cor-
rected via the generator controls. The 40P Zone 2 element is designed to closely
coordinate with the UEL. The element uses a curve-fitting algorithm to generate
the characteristic equation. This is illustrated in Figure 5.89, where:
QPKP = function(3PGF)
P P

Leading Power Factor
The logic for the 40P Zone 2 is shown in Figure 5.90. The Zone 2 characteristic
will often be large enough to cause the element to pick up for a stable power
swing. The 40P2D setting should be set short enough to prevent generator dam-
age for sustained operation outside the SECHL (refer to the guidance of the gen-
erator manufacturer). If this time is less than 0.25 seconds, then a study must be
carried out to ensure that Zone 2 does not misoperate for a stable power swing.
The Zone 2 logic also implements an accelerated tripping path that is supervised
by an undervoltage check. During a true underexcitation event, the terminal volt-
age will be reduced. If this path is used, and the 40PAD delay is less than 0.25
seconds, then the undervoltage pickup setting must be set less than the minimum
voltage expected during a stable power swing.

This zone is intended for detection of a loss of steady-state stability. Steady-state
stability can occur when the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is operated in
manual mode. Manual operation is normally not permitted but some AVRs may
transfer to manual for a PT fuse loss or loss-of-potential, for example. Often, in
strong power systems, the SSSL will be situated outside the GCC, but for weak
systems, the SSSL can intrude into the GCC. In this case, the generator could
lose synchronism while still operating within the GCC. The 40P Zone 3 element
is intended to detect this occurrence. Figure 5.91 shows Zone 3 superimposed

Dynamic Functionality
In general, the real and reactive power that a generator can deliver varies directly
with the ability to cool the machine. The GCC is essentially a representation of
the safe thermal operating limits of the generator. In round-rotor generators the
SECHL segment of the GCC can also vary with the terminal voltage. As a result,
some modern generator control systems adapt the generator operating limits
based on cooling capability and/or voltage magnitude.
In the SEL-400G, the Zone 2 and Zone 4 characteristics can be configured to
adapt so that these zones maintain coordination with the UEL and GCC.
Figure 5.97 and Figure 5.98 show the impact in protection coverage achieved by
this dynamic behavior.
For cooling, a change of the zone characteristic is implemented through the intro-
duction of a second set of settings which correspond to the minimum cooling
capability. The relay also needs a measurement of the cooling level, (40PDAM).
This, for example, could be a measurement of hydrogen pressure, ambient tem-
perature, or other input that represents the present cooling level of the generator.
The 40PDAM signal is wired to a transducer input. The signal is then scaled from
0 at minimum cooling to 1 at maximum cooling as follows:
40PDAM – 40PDAMN
40PX = min 1, max 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------
40PDAMX – 40PDAMN
Equation 5.49
The relay then uses the 40PX value to linearly interpolate between the minimum
and maximum characteristic. A quality indicator is provided for the cooling level
measurement, 40PDAQ. If 40PDAQ = 0, the 40PX calculation is forced to 1,
which shifts the zone characteristic to its maximum position.
For voltage, the zone characteristic is scaled using a terminal voltage measure-
ment and exponent setting.

----------------------------------
VNOMZ
Equation 5.50
The 40PK setting has a range of 0, 1, and 2 and a default setting of 2. The default
setting results in a characteristic that is fixed in the impedance plane and is appro-
priate for hydro generators. A 40PK setting of 0 results in a characteristic that is
fixed in the PQ plane.
Zone 2 Dynamics
The Zone 2 element can be configured to adapt its characteristic based on cool-
ing. This functionality is enabled by setting E40P2D = Y. If the setting
E40P2D = Y, then the SEL-400G provides additional settings for the location of
the UEL during maximum cooling conditions.
As shown in Figure 5.97, the relay calculates QPKP′ and QPKPD′. The relay
uses the 40PX signal to interpolate between the minimum and maximum values
as follows:

As mentioned, the GCC of round-rotor machines adapt with voltage and some
UELs can also adapt to maintain coordination with the GCC. In these UELs, the
characteristic is scaled using a voltage measurement and an exponent setting
(40PK).
Accordingly, the 40P element includes a voltage exponent setting. This results in
a Zone 2 pickup threshold of:
3 • V1ZFM 40PK
QPKP_Z2 = QPKP • ----------------------------------

Figure 5.98 shows Zone 2 applied to a round-rotor generator. Note that for an
increase in terminal voltage, the reactive power that the generator can safely
absorb is reduced, as denoted by the upward movement of the GCC. Also, if the
UEL is configured for K = 2, the AVR reactive power limit increases for an
increase in voltage as denoted by the downward movement of the UEL. The UEL
is not coordinated with the GCC at this voltage and the machine is under-pro-
tected. Selecting K = 0 for the UEL makes it stationary in the P-Q plane. The
Zone 2 element is also configured for 40PK = 0 in this example, making it sta-
tionary in the PQ plane and ensuring that it maintains coordination with the UEL.

Zone 4 Dynamics
The Zone 4 element can dynamically expand and contract to follow the GCC that
varies as a function of cooling level. If the setting E40P4D = Y, then the
SEL-400G provides additional settings for the GCC under changing cooling con-
ditions.
Use the 40PRUD setting to specify the generator rated power at Unity Power
Factor at minimum cooling. This setting is used in conjunction with the 40PRU
setting when the dynamic cooling feature is enabled. The analog value 40PPU
will be scaled between the 40PRU and 40RUD settings based on the cooling
level, 40DAM.

Setting Guidelines
In the following example, the system of Figure 5.100 is used to provide the steps
for application of the 40P to a combustion gas turbine. In this application, the
UEL does not shift to account for cooling and has a voltage coefficient, K of 0. It
is assumed that an “AVR transferred to manual” signal is available for Zone 3 and
that a measurement of inlet temperature is wired to the relay.

From Figure 5.101, we obtain the coordinates for the UEL, which are then trans-

The following Zone 2 settings are applied to the relay.
➤ 40P2SEG = L
➤ 40PUP5 = 781.3
➤ 40PUQ5 = –52.1
➤ 40PUP6 = 521
➤ 40PUQ6 = –156.3
➤ 40PUQ7 = –208.3
➤ 40PUVP = 53.1
➤ 40P2M = 1.2
➤ 40P2D = 60
➤ 40PAD = 0.25
➤ 40P2TC = NOT LOPZ
Zone 3 Settings
The Zone 3 characteristic is defined by the XDGEN, XESYS, and XTXFR set-
tings, all of which are located in Power System Data on page 6.5. In this example,
the following power system parameter settings are applied.
➤ MVAGEN = 90
➤ KVGEN = 13.8
➤ XDGEN = 2.08 pu
➤ XESYS = 0.31 pu
➤ XTXFR = 0.05 pu
For this example, the ratio of (XESYS + XTXFR) / XDGEN is 0.36 / 2.08 = 0.17.
Because this value is greater than 0.1, it is likely that the SSSL can intrude into
the GCC.
An actual SSSL should be accompanied by a significant undervoltage. A value in
the range of 80 percent of nominal can be expected, which is the same as that of
Zone 2.
Pole slipping occurs quickly, so a short delay in the range of 0.25 seconds is war-
ranted.
In this application, an indication that the AVR is in MANUAL is available and
this signal is wired to IN108.
The following Zone 3 settings are applied for the example system.
➤ 40PUVP = 53.1
➤ 40P3D = 0.25
➤ 40P3TC = NOT LOPZ AND IN108
Zone 4 Settings
From Figure 5.100, we obtain the coordinates for the GCC, which are then trans-
lated to relay settings using SF.
The delay and torque-control settings are left at the default values.
Dynamic Functionality
In this application, the UEL has a K of 0. Because a measurement of inlet tem-
perature is wired to the relay, configure Zone 4 for dynamic cooling. According
to Figure 5.100, the GCC is at its maximum for a temperature of 60 degrees and
its minimum at 120 degrees. The following settings are applied to the relay:
➤ 40PDAMX = 60
➤ 40PDAMN = 120
➤ 40PK = 0
Because the UEL does not shift with cooling, this feature is disabled for Zone 2.
➤ E40P2D = N
Enable the dynamic capability curve for Zone 4. From Figure 5.100, we obtain
the coordinates for the GCC, which are then translated to relay settings using SF.

Collect the following information to set LOF.

➤ Generator transient reactance, X'd, in per unit
➤ Generator-rated line-to-line voltage, in secondary volts (VNOMZ)
➤ Generator-rated phase current, in secondary amperes (INOMG)
➤ When a positive Zone 2 offset is necessary, you also need the
following:
➢ Step-up transformer reactance XTXFR and system reactance
XESYS in secondary ohms at the generator base
➢ Generator-rated power factor
Two methods are available for LOF protection: negative offset Zone 2 and posi-
tive offset Zone 2. Recommendations for both setting methods are provided.
NOTE: Typically, the Xd is greater The Zone 1 offset, 40Z1XD is typically set to half the generator transient reac-

Zone 1 LOF tripping is typically performed with little or no time delay.

Set the Zone 2 time delay, 40Z2D, long enough to avoid an incorrect operation
during a worst-case stable power system swing condition, typically 0.5 to 0.6 sec-
onds or according to the recommendations of the generator manufacturer.
40Z2D = 0.5 seconds
In this case, the 40Z2DIR setting is hidden.
The Relay Word bits 40Z1T and 40Z2T are configured to trip the field breaker
and the generator breaker.

Traditionally, the Zone 1 delay for this type of scheme is 0.25 seconds.
40Z1D = 0.25 seconds
Use the direct axis reactance and XS, the sum of the step-up transformer reac-
tance XT and system reactance XSYS, to set the Zone 2 diameter.
Traditionally, the Zone 2 delay for this type of scheme is approximately 60 sec-
onds (it is advisable to conduct system studies to determine the best time delay
when using the positive offset method).
40Z2D = 60.0 seconds
The relay applies a shorter delay if the Zone 2 element picks up at the same time
that the relay detects an undervoltage condition. This logic is discussed in the fol-
lowing text. In this case, the 40Z2DIR setting is necessary. Set 40Z2DIR equal to
–20 degrees or the arc cosine of the minimum rated power factor, whichever is
smaller.
When applying LOF protection with a positive Zone 2 offset, you can use the
time-delayed Zone 1 Relay Word bit, 40Z1T, and the long-time-delayed Zone 2
Relay Word bit, 40Z2T, directly in the generator breaker and field breaker trip-
ping SELOGIC control equations.
Undervoltage Acceleration
The traditional application of this scheme provides accelerated (0.25 second)
Zone 2 tripping in the event of an undervoltage condition occurring during the
LOF. To achieve this accelerated tripping, it is necessary to use a positive-
sequence undervoltage element, (27P1 in this example). Choose the Z terminal
positive-sequence voltage for the operating signal.
27O1 := V1ZM
The undervoltage element is generally set to 80 percent of the nominal voltage
for single-machine buses and 87 percent for multi-machine buses.

Harmonic Heating
Harmonic components also cause rotor heating. Each harmonic induces a compo-
nent that circulates clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the harmonic
order, n, as shown in Figure 5.104. The harmonic order has value equal to or
greater than 1.
Frotor = Frotor =
n-1 n+1
Rotor heating is a function of skin depth which is in turn dependent on the fre-
quency of the induced component. Skin depth on the rotor face and in the damper
bars decreases by 1/(Frotor). Therefore, rotor resistance increases by 1/(Frotor).
The SEL-400G calculates an equivalent negative-sequence current I2GPEQ,
which includes harmonics as high as the 15th and accounts for skin depth. Refer
to Harmonic Meter on page 7.13 for additional information. The following equa-
tion shows the calculations. Harmonics are calculated every 5 seconds.
where:
3I2GHk = is the negative-sequence component of the kth harmonic
3I1GHk = the positive-sequence component of the kth harmonic
The SEL-400G provides two elements. The operating quantity for each element
can be selected either as I2GP or I2GPEQ.
Each element has two levels. Level 1 has a definite-time characteristic and is usu-
ally applied to alarm. The Level 1 logic is shown in Figure 5.105.

Relay Word bit asserts in a time defined by the time-overcurrent element operat-
ing characteristic of Figure 5.107. The negative-sequence time-overcurrent ele-
ment resets after a fixed linear time of 240 seconds. If an element accumulates 50
percent of the 46QnK2 setting, it resets in 120 s (50 / 100 x 240 s). The 46QnR2
Relay Word bit asserts when the element is fully reset. The 46QnR2 Relay Word
bit can be used to prevent a resynchronization until the heating of the generator
rotor has dissipated.

Volt/Hertz Elements
Generators and transformers have a magnetic core. To minimize iron usage, the
core is typically designed to produce a magnetic flux that is close to the limit of
linear operation when the equipment is operated at rated voltage and frequency.
Overexcitation refers to an event that causes the core to saturate. As a result, stray
flux can link to nonlaminated components, causing overheating. Such an event
can be caused by overvoltage, underfrequency, or a combination of the two con-
ditions. The SEL-400G detects overexcitation by calculating the ratio of normal-
ized voltage to normalized frequency (V/Hz). This ratio is proportional to the
level of flux in the core.
The SEL-400G has two elements, each with a selectable operating signal and
torque control. In addition, each element has two levels. In the following descrip-
tion, n refers to the element and can have a value 1 or 2.
The operating signal is selectable for each element using the 24On setting. The
available signals are shown in Table 5.37. Note that the availability of the
VPMAXVF, VV1FM, VV2FM, and VV3FM signals depends on the PTCONV
setting. See Configuration of Current Inputs on page 5.9 for details.

The Level 2 definite-time logic is implemented using a stair counter that provides
a memory of previous pickup events. The counter starts to increment once the
operating signal exceeds the pickup setting and the torque-control input is
asserted. Although the counter increments in discrete steps, it is calibrated to
reach its operating limit at the same time as would the Level 1 conditional timer

Split-Phase Protection
Although split-phase protection can detect many types of stator faults, it is typi-
cally applied for detection of turn-to-turn faults. The current flowing in a shorted-
turn can be significant usually six to eight times of rated current and damage can
occur quickly.
The stator windings of large synchronous generators are generally constructed
either from multi-turn coils or Roebel bars (single-turn coils). The latter method
is more common for generators larger than 50 MVA.
The stator is often constructed from multiple parallel branches per phase. This
allows the winding to accommodate the rated current without the need for large
stator slots. Hydro generators, because of their lower speed of rotation, often
have many parallel branches.
If the turn voltage is relatively large and the number of parallel branches is rela-
tively low, as in the case for a large turbo generator, voltage-based protection may
detect a single shorted turn. These functions include the fundamental neutral
overvoltage element (64G1) and the negative-sequence directional element
(32Q). Turbo generators usually are not equipped with split-phase CTs.
Consider the example in Figure 5.116. The winding has four parallel branches
and is constructed from multi-turn coils. Assume that a single turn is shorted, as
shown in Figure 5.116.

The 60P and 60N high-set levels are shown in Figure 5.120. If the split-phase
current is greater than the pickup setting and the torque control is asserted, the
level will trip after Timer t1 expires. Both levels include a secure tripping path
that introduces an additional Timer t2. This timer is factory-set at 0.5 seconds.
Transition to the secure tripping path is controlled by the 60PpHSS and 60NHSS
SELOGIC variables. The default setting for the 60PpHSS setting is CONp1. The

The adaptive low-set levels are intended for use when there is a split-phase cur-
rent under normal operation that compromises the effectiveness of the high-set
function. This can occur in machines that produce a low split-phase current for a
single-turn fault. Consider using the adaptive low-set levels when the normal
variation in the split-phase current is significant and the expected current for a
shorted turn is low. The adaptive low-set level should be used in conjunction with
the high-set level.

The logic also incorporates reset inputs, 60PLR and 60NLR, to force the output
of a filter equal to the input. This may be required to account for a fast change in
the split-phase current that could occur, for instance, when the machine is con-
nected or disconnected from the power system. Assertion of the reset input takes
precedence over the freeze input.

The characteristic angle setting, 21PANG, is common to both zones and should
be set according to the angle of the transformer and the angle of the power system

The 21POFF setting is common to both zones and corresponds to the element
reach in the reverse direction. It is typically set equal to the generator impedance
(in secondary ohms) to ensure element operation for a three-phase fault at the
generator terminals.

Undervoltage Supervision
Use an undervoltage element to achieve voltage-controlled tripping. In this exam-
ple, we configure the 27P1 element to respond to the Z terminal, minimum
phase-to-phase voltage. Choose the 27P1 operating signal as:
27O1 = VPMINkF
The undervoltage element is generally set to 80 percent of the nominal voltage
for single-machine buses and 87 percent for multi-machine buses.

Use the pickup Relay Word bit to torque-control the 51C. In this case, the curve
setting 27P1C1 and the delay setting 27P1D1 are not important and can be left at
their default values.
To prevent misoperation if a potential transformer fuse blows, the element is
torque-controlled by the NOT LOPZ Relay Word bit.
27TC = NOT LOPZ
Assign the undervoltage pickup to torque-control the 51C:
51CTC = 271P1
With the previous settings, the 51C element is enabled whenever the generator
voltage is less than 80 percent of generator nominal voltage, as long as there is no
simultaneous loss-of-potential condition. You can choose to use a different
undervoltage element pickup setting.
Set the 51CP pickup setting less than the generator fault duty, IP, which you can
calculate by using the generator steady-state reactance, Xd (you can use transient
reactance X'd if the generator excitation system supports higher fault voltage and
current). This value may safely be below maximum load, because the element is
only enabled during low-voltage fault conditions. Divide the generator fault duty
by the phase current transformer ratio, CTRG, to find the element pickup current
in secondary amperes.

The overcurrent elements include a settable pickup, curve shape, and time-dial.
Ten curve shapes are available. Curves U1–U5 emulate the popular North Amer-
ican induction disk relays. Curves C1–C5 emulate popular European analog
time-overcurrent relays. Operating characteristics of the available curves are
shown in Figure 5.214 through Figure 5.216.
When you set 51VRS := Y to enable electromechanical reset emulation, the relay
provides a slow reset that is dependent on the amount of current measured, simi-
lar to an induction disk relay reset. When you select N, the relay fully resets the
time-overcurrent element one cycle after current drops below the pickup setting,
similar to analog and many microprocessor-based time-overcurrent relays. Select
Y or N to match the operating characteristic of other time-overcurrent protection
protecting the system near this generator.
Each of the elements is also equipped with a torque-control setting. When the
equation result is logical 1, the element can operate. When the result is logical 0,
the element cannot operate. Use other protection elements, logic conditions, or
control inputs to supervise these elements if necessary.

Load-Encroachment Logic
The load-encroachment function can be used to supervise the backup phase dis-
tance protection (21P) elements or the phase overcurrent (50P) elements. This
allows the 21P and 50P to be set independent of the load. Two independent posi-
tive-sequence impedance characteristics monitor the positive-sequence load
impedance (Z1GFM) for both export and import load. Figure 5.128 illustrates the
load-encroachment settings and corresponding characteristics in the positive-
sequence impedance plane.
Relay Word bit ZLOUT indicates that load is flowing out with respect to the
relay (an export or generating condition) and the apparent impedance lies within
the shaded region.
Relay Word bit ZLIN indicates that load is flowing in with respect to the relay
(an import or motoring condition) and the apparent impedance lies within the
shaded region.

Thermal Model
The thermal model is a general-purpose model of a single-body, thermal mass. It
can be used in a variety of applications. The SEL-400G implements three inde-
pendent thermal elements that conform to the IEC 60255-149 standard.
The element computes the accumulated thermal level, THRL, of the protected
equipment (generator, transformer, etc.). The thermal level is the ratio of the
computed temperature divided by the temperature at the equipment maximum
permissible current. THRL is expressed as a percentage.
The current used by the thermal model is called the equipment current (IEQ) and
is defined as:
THRO
IEQ = -----------------
INOM
where THRO is a user-selectable operating current in secondary amperes. For
instance, THRO could be the current through the generator, GSU, or excitation
transformer. INOM is the nominal current rating of the input associated with
THRO operating current (1 A or 5 A).
Electrical insulation is usually rated according to the maximum allowable tem-
perature of the winding when the ambient temperature is 40°C. This maximum
allowable temperature is expressed as TMAX in the thermal element.
A correction factor, KCONS is implemented to account for the possibility that
the current magnitude at TMAX differs from the rated current. It is calculated as:
Current at T = TMAX
KCONS = -------------------------------------------------------
Rated Current
where TMAX is a user-selectable maximum operating temperature of the equip-
ment.
For example, if the equipment reaches maximum allowable temperature at
100 percent of rated current then KCONS would be set to 1.0. If maximum tem-
perature is reached at 110 percent of rated current, then KCONS would be set to
1.1.
As mentioned, TMAX is defined for an ambient temperature of 40°C. At lower
ambient temperatures the equipment is expected to shed heat more readily. The
relay accounts for the actual value of the ambient temperature using the ambient
temperature factor, FAMB. FAMB has a value of 1 when the ambient temperature
is 40°C. It is computed by the relay as follows:
TMAX – 40C

Setting Example
In this example, we provide an overload alarm for the stator based on the stator
winding short-time thermal requirements provided in ANSI C50.13-2005. We
use the first thermal element in this application.
ETHRIEC = 1
We choose the operating signal to respond to generator positive- and negative-
sequence current of the generator. We assume that the current unbalance element
provides dedicated protection for the rotor.
THRO1 = I1GMB
For the example, we assume that the generator rated current is 4 amperes second-
ary and the CT nominal secondary current is 5 amperes.
IBAS1 = 4/5 = 0.8
Because ANSI C50.13 makes no reference to a cooling time constant, we set:
IEQPU1 = 0
Because the standard defines temperature rise for an ambient temperature of
40°C, we set:
KCONS1 = 1
We will not use the thermal state switch in this application.
THSLW1 = 0
ANSI C50.13 specifies that a generator shall be capable of operation at 150 per-
cent of rated current for at least 30 seconds when started from a steady-state cur-
rent at rated conditions. The standard goes on to define additional timing
requirements based on the following I2t equation:
37.5
I = 100 ---------- + 1
t
Equation 5.69
where t is the time in seconds and I is the stator current in percent of rated cur-
rent.
The following calculations show the process of setting the thermal element based
on the requirements of ANSI C50.13. A simplified timing characteristic of the
IEC thermal element can be written as:
I 2 – I0 2
t OP = TCONH11 • ln -----------------------------
I 2 – THLT 2
Equation 5.70
where I is rated current in per unit. In Equation 5.70, I0 is the current prior to the
overload event which we choose to be equal to rated (1.0). To provide an operat-
ing margin, choose a thermal trip level of 105 percent or 1.05 per unit. Applying
the ANSI C50.13 requirement of 1.5 per unit current for 30 seconds, we get:
1.5 2 – 1.0 2

In this application, we will not bias the element from a temperature measurement
and will instead specify an ambient temperature of 25°C. Therefore:

TAMB1 = NA
RTD Element
Use the RTD element to alarm and trip from RTD monitored values. A total of 12
RTD elements are provided. Any of the SEL-2600 or remote analog monitored
values can be mapped to the element using the 46ROn setting. The RTD status

Out-of-Step Element
The SEL-400G includes an out-of-step element to detect out-of-step conditions
between two electrical sources. Two interconnected systems can experience an
out-of-step condition for several reasons. For example, loss of excitation can
cause a generator to lose synchronism with the rest of the system. Similarly,
delayed tripping of a generator breaker to isolate a fault can cause the generator
to go out of step with the rest of the system.
Detecting and isolating an out-of-step condition as early as possible is imperative
because the resulting high peak currents, winding stresses, and high shaft torques
can be very damaging to the generator and the associated GSU transformer.
The SEL-400G implements two out-of-step tripping schemes: single blinder and
double blinder, as shown in Figure 5.137 and Figure 5.139. Users can select
whichever scheme suits their application, or they can disable out-of-step protec-
tion.
The element uses the positive-sequence impedance as an operating signal which

Double-Blinder Scheme
For the double-blinder scheme, 78R1 is outer blinder and 78R2 is the inner
blinder. The inner reach must be set such that the impedance locus does not cross
the inner blinder for a stable (recoverable) swing. The outer blinder reach should
be set such that all of the following are true:
➤ Outer blinder is not asserted at the maximum expected load
➤ Outer blinder sits outside the mho circle to satisfy the relay logic
➤ Outer blinder separates from the inner blinder far enough to allow
proper setting of the 78D timer

Inadvertent Energization
Inadvertent energization occurs when the generator main circuit breaker or auxil-
iary transformer circuit breaker is incorrectly closed to energize the generator
when it is out of service. When this occurs, the generator behaves like an induc-
tion motor, drawing as much as four to six times the rated stator current from the
system. These high stator currents induce high currents in the rotor, which can
quickly damage the rotor. The objective of inadvertent energization protection is
to quickly detect that the generator has been re-energized after being removed
from service.
A voltage-supervised overcurrent scheme can be implemented in the SEL-400G
using the undervoltage check that is integrated into the inadvertent energization
scheme logic. Other supervisions, for example field breaker open (52Fb), can be
implemented using the torque-control input (INADTC).
The overcurrent detector has a dual role; it provides an arming input when it is
dropped out and, once armed, it picks up to indicate that an inadvertent energiza-
tion event has occurred.
The scheme will be armed (INADAm asserted) after de-energization of the gen-
erator. Arming the assertion requires that the voltage is below the pickup setting
(INADVPm), the current is below the pickup setting (INADIPm), and the torque
control (INADTCm) is asserted. Arming is delayed by the INADADm setting.
Once armed, if the current exceeds the INADIPm setting, the output INADTm
asserts after the INADDm timer expires. If any of the arming conditions (under-
voltage, undercurrent, or torque control) deasserts, the scheme disarms. Disarm-
ing is delayed by the INADDDm setting.

Note that because this protection scheme is disabled when the generator voltage

When an additional device, such as a generator vibration detector for example, is
used for the detection of multiple points of insulation breakdown, a field ground
indication without vibration detection can be used for the alarm level and the
assertion of the vibration detector can supervise the tripping level. When an addi-
tional device is not used, SEL recommends that you alarm and trip from a field

You can use synchronism-check elements to supervise circuit breaker closing.

ANGLEn is calculated as the difference between the generator voltage angle and
the system voltage angle as follows:
ANGLEn = VPnFA – NVSnFA
Note that the system voltage is the reference for the angle calculation. Angle dif-
ference is corrected to be between ±180°.
In Figure 5.152, slip is calculated as the rate-of-change of ANGLEn. Additional
filtering is applied to produce the slip signal. Note that when the generator fre-
quency is higher than the system frequency, the slip is positive.
Slip Check
It is a common practice to check that the slip is within set limits. This is imple-
mented using the slip frequency setting, 25SFBKn, which defines a slip accep-
tance window for the element. If the 25SFBKn setting is selected to OFF, then
the slip check is bypassed as described in Uncompensated and Compensated
Angle Checks on page 5.152.
Logic is also included to shrink the slip acceptance window when it is required to
synchronize only when the generator frequency is higher than the system fre-
quency (positive slip). This is controlled by the 25GFHIn setting.
Figure 5.153 shows the slip-check logic. This logic runs when 59VPn and 59VSn
both assert. Otherwise, the associated Relay Word bits are deasserted.
The logic indicates whether the generator is fast or slow with respect to the sys-
tem or when the generator and system are virtually stationary with respect to one
another as indicated by the Zero Slip Relay Word bit, SFZBKn.
If SFZBKn is not asserted and the absolute value of slip is less than 25SFBKn,
then SFBKn, the slip within limits Relay Word bit, asserts.

The compensated angle difference, ANGLECn, accounts for the breaker closing
time, TCLSBKn, in seconds and is calculated as follows:
ANGLECn = ANGLE + SLIP • TCLSBKn • 360
We can define a compensated phasor, V'P as:
V'P = |VP|ANGLECn
Figure 5.157 shows the phase relationships. The compensated phasor therefore
enters the angle acceptance window in advance of the uncompensated phasor.
This allows the logic to send an early close command to the breaker. This ensures
that the circuit breaker primary contacts make at zero degrees; thereby minimiz-
ing the stress on the generator.

Autosynchronizer
The autosynchronizer (25A) sends raise and lower commands to the governor to
reduce the frequency difference (slip) between the generator and system to within
an acceptable level. It also sends raise and lower commands to the AVR to reduce
the voltage difference between the generator and system to within an acceptable
level. Once voltage and frequency are matched, it sends additional raise (dead
scope) pulses to the governor to bring the phase angle difference between the
generator and system to zero.
A complete scheme is implemented in the SEL-400G using a combination of
hard-coded logic and default SELOGIC for the auxiliary logic.
As is the case with the synchronism-check function, there are four instances of
the logic (S, T, U, and Y) plus additional common logic. However, only a maxi-
mum of three breakers are configurable for autosynchronizing. Also note that the
autosynchronizer is meant to synchronize a single generator using one or more
breakers, therefore synchronizing can only be active for one breaker at a time.
Pulse control is enabled using the 25AVMOD and 25AFMOD settings. Because
voltage control uses the DIFVn signal (where n = S, T, U, Y), voltage pulse con-
trol cannot be enabled if 25VDIFn is set to OFF. Similarly, frequency control
uses the SLIPn signal, frequency pulse control cannot be enabled if 25SFBKn is
set to OFF.
The pulse control type for voltage and frequency control can be different.
Figure 5.164 illustrates the three control types.

Biased Operation
The 25A supports biased operation. Biased frequency control means that the
autosynchronizer controls the generator frequency to be greater than the system
frequency and the synchronism-check element only allows the breaker to close
when the generator frequency is greater than the system frequency. Biased volt-
age control means that the autosynchronizer controls the generator voltage to be
greater than the system voltage and the synchronism-check element only allows
the breaker to close when the generator voltage is greater than the system voltage.
The autosynchronizer uses the 25GVHIn setting to enable biased voltage control
and the 25GFHIn setting to enable biased frequency control. This maintains
coordination between the autosynchronizer and the synchronism-check elements,
ensuring that the autosynchronizer continues to issue control pulses as long as the
controlled value (frequency or voltage) remains outside the corresponding syn-
chronism-check acceptance window.
Biased operation can be applied independently to voltage and frequency control.
Refer to Figure 5.150 and Figure 5.154 to see the synchronism-check voltage and
frequency acceptance windows. Refer to Figure 5.170 and Figure 5.171 to see
the autosynchronizer operating characteristic.
Start/Cancel Logic
Referring Figure 5.165, synchronizing is started for Breaker n by asserting the
25ASTn Relay Word bit. The scheme seals-in until synchronizing is canceled via
the 25AnCN SELOGIC variable or when the 25ACD timer expires. Note that,
when a synchronization operation is active for a particular breaker (as indicated
by the 25AnACT Relay Word bit), synchronizing cannot be started for another
breaker.

Loss-of-Potential Element
The LOP element detects a loss of voltage potential to the relay. The logic is
designed to distinguish between a valid LOP and other events such as a fault or a
normal shutdown of the generator. In this section, the index k refers to the voltage
input terminal (V or Z). The index h refers to the current terminal identified in the
setting LOPISk (S, T, U, Y, G).
The LOP element can be used in the large majority of applications with its
default settings. However, the element includes features that allow it to be modi-
fied for challenging applications. These include a torque-control SELOGIC con-
trol equation and configurable output logic.
Voltage-Current Scheme
The voltage-current scheme uses the voltage and current to detect an LOP condi-
tion
Figure 5.175 implements a current-based disturbance detector. The logic mea-
sures the change in positive-sequence and negative-sequence current. Current
disturbance (LOPDIk) is declared when over a period of 20 ms, the positive-
sequence current was and remains higher than the minimum threshold (5 percent
of nominal current), there has been a change in positive-sequence current magni-
tude that is greater than 2 percent of nominal current, and a positive-sequence
current angle change greater than 5 degrees has occurred. Further, the logic also
declares current disturbance detection if, over a period of 20 ms, the negative-
sequence current magnitude has changed more than 2 percent of nominal current.

The logic of Figure 5.176 checks for an incremental drop in the positive-
sequence voltage magnitude. The LOPVRk setting determines this increment. It
has a default value of 0.90. Using this value, the upper comparator checks that the
voltage has dropped by 10 percent over a period of 20 ms. A voltage change
because of a valid LOP will be practically instantaneous. On the other hand, the
voltage drop during a normal generator shut down will be much more gradual.
The lower comparator checks that the initial voltage was greater than 1 volt.

sured at the generator neutral as shown in Figure 5.179. EGNPT must be config-
ured to monitor the generator neutral voltage. Check the third-harmonic voltage
level while the generator is energized and offline to determine the value for com-
parison.

LOP Set
This setting defines the conditions which assert the LOP output. The default
assignment ORs the output Relay Word bits for the incremental voltage-current
logic, the negative-sequence logic and the voltage-balance logic. The SELOGIC
control equation allows conditions to be added or removed. For example, the aux-
iliary contact from a mini-circuit breaker.
LOP Reset
This setting defines the conditions which reset the LOP output after latching. The
default assignment uses the LOPRSk setting, which checks that there is a signifi-
cant positive-sequence voltage and relatively little negative-sequence voltage. A
reset signal could also be derived from a pushbutton.
2/8
The logic measures the zero crossings and maximum and minimum current val-
ues of each phase. The relay declares an open phase when the logic does not
detect a zero crossing or current value within 5/8 of a power system cycle since
the previous measurement. OPHm, the output of the logic, asserts when all three
phases of a particular winding assert.

current comparator is supervised by the associated open-phase detectors OPHpn

all three poles open detector (OPHn).

Input BFIn is a SELOGIC control equation that provides the breaker failure initi-
ate signal. When BFIn asserts, both the breaker failure timer and the re-trip timer
start timing. When the re-trip timer expires, RTn asserts, and when the breaker
failure timer expires, BFITn asserts. If 50Fn is asserted when BFITn asserts, the
breaker failure output, FBFn, asserts. Note that BFIn must be present for the
entire duration of the breaker failure timer setting. If BFIn is not present con-
stantly, the timers reset when BFIn falls away (see alternate initiate logic in
Figure 5.187).

The logic shown in Figure 5.186 is enabled when the breaker failure scheme set-
ting is set to Y1 (BF_SCHM = Y1). The logic enabled with option Y1 is similar
to that shown in Figure 5.185, but the current check (50Fn) is now part of the
breaker failure initiate timer (BFPUn) and retrip time delay (RTPUn).
The logic includes a path for the case when breaker failure initiates from a pro-
tection function that can operate for events with little or no associated current
(when there is no current supervision), such as for a generator sequential trip or
for a Buchholz relay operation on an unloaded transformer. Because a Buchholz
assertion can be present even after the breakers are open, to increase security a
non/low-current supervision, EXBFSPn is provided.
This path is controlled via the ANDed output of the EXBFn and EXBFSPn con-
trol equations. The logic is the same for both BF_SCHM = Y and BF_SCHM =
Y1. Configuration of this path is described in Generator Breaker Failure and
Breaker Current Considerations on page 5.177.
Dependable operation for an actual breaker failure requires that the pickup of the
current detectors be set less than the minimum expected current through the
breaker for a fault seen by any of the protection elements assigned to BFIn (or
ATBFIn if this logic is used).
A secondary consideration is to set the current detectors so that they are not per-
manently picked up under normal operation. For the phase current detectors, this
would entail setting the pickup greater than the maximum expected load current
and for the unbalanced current detector to set the pickup greater than the maxi-
mum expected zero-sequence current.
There are a variety of generator abnormal conditions for which the relay provides
protection but that do not result in significant breaker current during the event.
For instance, a ground fault on a high-impedance-grounded machine produces
virtually no increase in the breaker current. Another example is sequential trip-
ping, which is often employed as part of a normal generator shutdown. During a
sequential trip, the prime mover is tripped first and the opening of the generator
breaker is delayed until a reverse power condition is confirmed. The current
drawn by the machine prior to breaker opening can be very low. If the breaker
fails to open, the unit can suffer damage while motoring. In transformer applica-
tions, the Buchholz can operate when the transformer is unloaded.
Sometimes there is insufficient current for current detectors in a generator
breaker failure application. Furthermore some initiating signals such as the Buch-
holz relay can be present even after the breakers are open. Therefore, these
schemes require an additional indication that the breaker is still closed.
The SEL-400G provides a non-current-supervised initiate path via the EXBFn
input. Protection functions that do not produce significant fault current should be
assigned to this input. This path is supervised by the EXBFSPn control equation.
The logic is the same for both BF_SCHM = Y and BF_SCHM = Y1. The
SEL-400G provides two methods to provide this supervision. Configuration of
this path is described in Breaker-Closed Supervision on page 5.178.
Breaker-Closed Supervision
A breaker-closed auxiliary contact is often used to supervise the EXBFn path. If
each pole of the breaker has its own operating mechanism, a breaker-closed indi-
cation from each pole should be paralleled to provide reliable indication in the
case of a single stuck pole.
A breaker auxiliary contact is not completely reliable. One of the more common
failures is an open connection in the control wiring between the contact and the
relay. In this case, the relay receives a permanent indication that the breaker is
open. A subsequent protection operation will not lead to an incorrect breaker fail-
ure operation, but the scheme will also not operate for an actual stuck breaker.
The following equations show individual protection functions supervised by the
breaker-closed indication to form the non-current-supervised initiate for Breaker
S. In this example, the protection functions that do not produce significant fault
current are V/Hz, reverse power, frequency, and stator ground. This list may dif-
fer depending on the application.
EXBFIS := 24D1T1 OR 32T01 OR 81D1T OR 64GT
EXBFSPS := 52CLS
Because it is possible that there can be a failure of the breaker indication, the
relay includes breaker status logic (see Circuit Breaker Monitor on page 7.18).
This logic is the source of the 52CLn Relay Word bit shown here. The logic also
provides an alarm for an incorrect breaker status using breaker-closed (52a) and
Synchronism-Check Supervision
A breaker failure may involve a failure of the mechanism to move the contacts
apart sufficiently to interrupt the current, while the mechanism that drives the
auxiliary contacts moves normally. In this case, the breaker failure to open would
go undetected by the breaker failure scheme, leaving the generator vulnerable to
motoring. Conversely, if the mechanism fails to open the breaker auxiliary con-
tact correctly, a false breaker-closed can be indicated, resulting in an unnecessary
backup trip even though the main contacts have successfully interrupted the cur-
rent.
In applications where a synchronism-check element has been applied to the gen-
erator breaker, the 25BFSPn Relay Word bit is provided as an alternative to the
breaker-closed auxiliary contact (see Synchronism-Check-Based Breaker Closed
Indication on page 5.155). The premise for this logic is that when the breaker
opens, the generator and system will not remain in exact synchronism. The volt-
age magnitude difference, or slip or the angle difference, moves out of its respec-
tive acceptance window and the 25BFSPn Relay Word bit deasserts. On the other
hand, if the breaker remains closed, the 25BFSPn Relay Word bit remains
asserted. The following equations show this signal supervising the V/Hz, reverse
power, frequency, and stator ground functions to form the non-current-supervised
initiate for Breaker S.
EXBFIS := 24D1T1 OR 32T01 OR 81D1T OR 64GT
EXBFSPS := 25BFSPS
The logic shown in Figure 5.186 is enabled when the breaker failure scheme set-
ting is set to Y1 (BF_SCHM = Y1). The logic enabled with option Y1 is similar
to that shown in Figure 5.172, but the current check (50Fn) is now part of the
breaker failure initiate timer (BFPUn) and retrip time delay (RTPUn).
For a detailed discussion of this topic, see the technical paper New Voltage-Based
Breaker Failure Scheme for Generators, by Michael Thompson and Dale Finney,
at selinc.com
The timers in this logic accommodate possible intermittent behavior of either the
breaker failure initiate signal or the current detector signal, as described in the
following sections.
1. Substitution of the current detector signal using the BFIDOn timer
Use this option in dual-breaker applications when current is not
immediately present. This can happen in a dual-breaker application,
as shown in Figure 5.188. In this scenario, Breaker T has failed but
most of the fault current is initially flowing through Breaker S. Once
Breaker S opens, the fault current is redistributed through Breaker T.
The dropout timer (BFIDOn) is used to prevent a delayed breaker
failure operation under this scenario (because of insufficient current
through Breaker T). Set the dropout time longer than the expected
operate time of Breaker S. On the rising edge of ATBFIn, the lower
input of AND Gate 2 is asserted for the duration of BFIDOk. After
time-out, the current detector takes over this roll.

enough to isolate a failed breaker before the power system becomes unstable. Not
that the current detectors can reset in less than a cycle even in the presence of a
subsidence component.
Use the alternate breaker failure initiate logic in situations where breaker failure
protection philosophy requires a simultaneous assertion of the breaker failure ini-
tiate and current detector signals. When using this logic, be sure to set BFIn
(Figure 5.185) to ABFITn.
If EFOBFn = P, the scheme employs current detectors for each phase. This
scheme can detect a three-phase flashover, but could be at greater risk of mis-
operation because of an incorrect breaker status, because the phase current detec-
tors are likely to be continuously picked up when the breaker is closed. There-
fore, the logic opens a 5-cycle (at 60 Hz) window on the appearance of current. If
the breaker status indicates open during this period, the logic declares breaker
flashover. During a normal breaker closing, these conditions may be briefly satis-
fied, therefore the logic must be supervised by a breaker close command indica-
tion via BLKFOn. This signal is extended for a period longer than the time
expected for breaker closing.
If the breaker is located on the low-voltage side of the GSU, a single-phase flash-
over or a flashover involving ground will be detected by ground fault protection
schemes. These events will be cleared via breaker failure if the ground fault pro-
tection initiates breaker failure by using the low current (EXBF) initiate path, as
shown in Figure 5.185, or by ground fault protection (3V0) associated with the
IPB.
A breaker flashover is a breaker failure and should therefore trip the same power
system elements as required by the breaker failure scheme.

Use the 81A command to display the accumulated frequency element reports of
the equipment monitored by the relay. When used with the P parameter, 81A
enables you to preload the values for accumulated bands. The format a particular
band input should be dddd:hh:mm:ss.s with a resolution of 0.5 seconds. The
maximum input that you can give is 0000:01:39:59.5 when 81AnD != OFF (n =
1–8), 9999:23:59:59.5 otherwise. 81A R or C can be used to clear the accumu-
lated time data for all accumulated frequency bands, and when used with param-
eter n (81A n R or C) clears the accumulated data for that particular Band n.

The relay supports six elements, each of which can be used independently. The
operating quantity for each of these elements is selectable using the operating
quantity setting (81ROn, n = 1–6). This can be set to either generator or system
by choosing DFREQPG or DFREQPS.
Each frequency element can operate as an over-ROCOF or as an under-ROCOF
element, depending on its pickup setting. If the element pickup setting (81RnP,
n = 1–6) is less than –0.1 Hz/s, the element operates as an under-ROCOF ele-
ment, picking up if measured rate-of-change of frequency is less than the set
point. If the pickup setting is greater than 0.1 Hz/s, the element operates as an
over-ROCOF element, picking up if measured rate-of-change of frequency is
greater than the set point.
The selected operating quantity, given by the 81ROn setting, will be used as the
input to Element n if the pickup setting (81RnP) is greater than the 81RFL setting
value, which is 0.5 Hz/s by default. If Element n pickup setting is lower than the
81RFL setting, the rate-of-change-of-frequency quantity will be passed through a
four-point moving average filter, and the output is used as the operating quantity.
This filter is used to remove noise at low values of the operating quantity. 81RFL
is a Calibration Level setting.
Each element can be individually controlled using the associated torque-control
setting (81RnTC), which can be set to a SELOGIC conditional statement.
Element n is disabled if the 81RnTC setting is evaluated to be false.
The quantity 27B81Ra controls all frequency elements associated with the same
frequency tracking source, i.e., 27B81RG controls the frequency elements that
are associated with DFREQPG and 27B81RS controls the frequency elements
that are associated with DFREQPS.
Each element has an associated output timer whose pickup time and dropout time
can be selected using the settings 81RnPU and 81RnDO, respectively.

Overcurrent Elements
The SEL-400G provides three levels of instantaneous overcurrent elements (50)
for phase, negative-sequence, and zero-sequence currents for each of the four ter-
minals (S, T, U, Y) and 10 configurable time-overcurrent (51) elements. These
overcurrent elements are nondirectional, but you can make any of the 50 or 51
elements directional with a choice of phase and sequence directional elements
(see Directional Elements on page 5.214).
Setting 50SP1P also provides the reference value against which three compara-
tors test the three phase currents (IAmFM, IBmFM, ICmFM). If the element is
enabled, and any phase current exceeds the 50SP1P setting value, then Relay
Word bit 50SP1 asserts.
Use the torque-control setting 67mPaTC to combine the 50 element with other
functions such as the directional element, or to add a time delay. For a time delay
(Terminal S, Level 1), set 67SP1TC = 1 (or any other appropriate condition such
as the directional element or a breaker auxiliary contact status) and set 67SP1D to
the desired time delay. If the element is enabled and any phase current exceeds
the 50SP1P setting value, then Relay Word bits 50SP1 and 67SP1 assert instanta-
neously and Relay Word bit 67SP1T asserts when the Phase 50 timer times out.
Setting Descriptions
E50 (Definite-Time Overcurrent and Directional Element Enable)
Setting E50 is a composite setting that identifies the following three protection
options for each terminal:
➤ Terminals that require only definite-time overcurrent elements
➤ Terminals that require only directional elements
➤ Terminals that require both definite-time overcurrent elements and
directional elements
For example, at a particular substation you want the following protection:
➤ Terminal S: negative-sequence definite-time overcurrent only
➤ Terminal T: only directional control (directional elements for time-
overcurrent [51] protection)
➤ Terminal U: both definite-time overcurrent protection (Level 1) and
directional control
➤ Terminal Y: not used
Figure 5.206 shows the flow diagram for setting the three protection options
(gray blocks are not used).

After enabling the CTs for processing, enter Terminals S, T, and U in the Group
setting E50 (see Figure 5.207). Figure 5.207 also shows the selection of the 51
element that must have directional control. The 51 elements are not terminal spe-
cific, so setting the terminal CT/51 elements correlation occurs later.
In this example, Terminal S and Terminal T will be frequency-tracked using the
generator frequency and Terminal U will be frequency-tracked using the system
frequency. Because Terminal T and Terminal U have directional control enabled,
the T directional elements are polarized using the Z voltage and the U directional
elements are polarized using the V voltage.
Use the E50m setting to specify the type of overcurrent elements you want to use,
both for overcurrent elements and for directional elements. Because Terminal S
requires negative-sequence definite-time overcurrent only, set E50S = Q.
Figure 5.207 shows the directional elements enabled by setting E67 = T, U. This
makes the CTPT, Z1ANGT, Z0ANGT (E50T includes both P and G) and EAD-
VST settings available. With 50TP1P = OFF and 50TG1P = OFF, the phase and
ground overcurrent elements are disabled so that only the directional elements
are active for Terminal T.
Figure 5.211 shows the settings for the Terminal T directional 51 element. For
this example, do not use adaptive settings for the pickup and time-dial settings.
Set the operating quantity (51O01 = IMAXTF), the pickup setting (51P01),
Curve type (51C01), time dial (51TD01), and the type of reset (51RS01).
Use setting 51TC01 to add directional control to the 51 element. Setting
51TC01 = TF32G (negative- and zero-sequence direction) OR TF32P (phase
direction) causes the 51 element to be active only for forward faults.

Figure 5.217 uses Element 01 as an example to show the logic for the 51 element.
All five inputs are Group settings. Essentially, the logic compares the magnitude
of an operating quantity (51O01) to pickup setting 51P01.

Operating Quantity
The 51 elements are unassigned, so you can select the operating quantity from
many phase and sequence quantities in fundamental, as Table 5.72 shows.
Fundamental Quantities
Example 5.1
Example 5.2
Example 5.3
For example, you want a 1 A relay to pick up at 1.5 A when IN101 asserts
and to pick up at 2 A when IN102 asserts (IN101 deasserted). Program the
following:
51P01 := IN101 • 1.5 + IN102 • 2
With IN101 asserted (logical 1), and IN102 deasserted (logical 0), the 51P01
setting is:
(1 • 1.5) + (0 • 2) = 1.5 + 0 = 1.5
When IN102 asserts (IN101 deasserted), the 51P01 setting is:
(0 • 1.5) + (1 • 2) = 0 + 2 = 2
If, however, IN102 asserts while IN101 is still asserted, the 51P01 setting is:
(1 • 1.5) + (1 • 2) = 1.5 + 2 = 3.5
Because 3.5 exceeds the upper range value of 3.2, the relay clamps the set-
ting at 3.2 and asserts Relay Word bit 51MM01.
Torque Control
SELOGIC control equation 51TC01 allows you to state the conditions when the
element must run. When 51TC01 asserts (logical 1), Switch S1 in Figure 5.217
closes and the relay evaluates input 51O01. For example, if the element should
only measure when the HV circuit breaker (Terminal S, for example) is closed,
enter the following:
51TC01 := 52CLS
With this setting, Switch S1 closes only when 52CLS is a logical 1. If the element
must measure all the time, enter the following:
51TC01 := 1
EM Reset
Setting 51RS01 defines whether the curve resets slowly like an electromechani-
cal disk or after one power system cycle when current drops below pickup. If you
set 51RS01 = Y, then the relay resets according to the Reset Timer equations for
that particular curve (see Table 5.70 or Table 5.71). If you set 51RS01 = N, then
the relay resets after one power system cycle when current drops below pickup.
Directional Elements
The SEL-400G provides directional elements that are polarized using phase, neg-
ative-sequence, and zero-sequence voltage. Directional elements are provided for
the S, T, U, and Y terminals.
The directional elements for each current terminal are polarized using the voltage
terminal that is used to track frequency for that terminal. The FTSRCm setting
(where m is the particular current terminal, S, T, U, Y) has a default setting of G
(generator), which means the Z voltage input is assigned by default for frequency
tracking and therefore polarizing. If ESYSPT is set to V and FTSRCm is set to S
(system) then Current Terminal m will be frequency-tracked and polarized using
the Terminal V voltage. Note that because directional elements require either a
three-phase, negative-sequence, or zero-sequence voltage, E67m is forced to OFF
if FTSRCm = S but PTCONV = 1PH.
The polarizing voltage is derived from the V voltage for the S, T, U, and Y cur-
rents for the system voltage referenced currents and the polarizing voltage is
derived from the Z voltage for the generator voltage referenced currents. There-
fore, the following definitions apply:
V k=V k=V
Z k=Z k=Z
The directional elements can be used to supervise the definite-time and inverse-
time overcurrent elements. The negative-sequence directional element can also
be used in conjunction with the split-phase elements. Note that zero-sequence
directional elements are not available for PTs connected in delta (PTCONk = D).

Setting Guidelines
Z1ANGm (Positive-Sequence Line Impedance Angle)
For each terminal, set the positive-sequence line angle in degrees. This setting is
only available if setting E50m includes P or Q.
Trip Logic
To provide settings for selective tripping between generator unit faults and sys-
tem faults, the SEL-400G includes eight trip elements and five trip logics. Use
the logic in Figure 5.225 for generator or transformer faults. There exists a sepa-
rate Minimum Trip Duration timer (TDURDnn, where nn = 01 to 08) and a sepa-
rate unlatch input (ULTRnn) for each of the eight elements.
In Figure 5.225, the Trip timer starts when SELOGIC control equation TRnn
asserts for one processing interval. Assertion of this equation immediately asserts
output TRIPnn. Output TRPnn remains asserted for the Minimum Trip Duration
timer (TDURDnn) setting regardless of the status of Input TRnn. When output
TRIPnn asserts, the logic seals TRIPnn in through the AND gate when the
unlatch input ULTRnn is deasserted.
Once latched, TRPnn remains asserted until the unlatch input (ULTRnn) asserts.
Generally, ULTRnn can have the target reset (TRGTR) input.

Because not all the protection elements need to trip the breakers or exciter or
prime mover or auxiliary breakers, the SEL-400G provides an additional five trip
logics (OR gates) to selectively trip the breakers or exciters, etc. Those are
TRIPm, TRIPEX, TRIPPM, TRIPAUX, or TRIP. TRIPm is a breaker trip element
and is an OR output of the trip elements selected by TRIPnn setting. Where m
indicates the terminals included in ESYSCT setting. Assertion of any of the
TRIPEX, TRIPPM, TRIPAUX, or TRIP Relay Word bits will trigger an event
report. If the trip logic is not used, the ER (event report trigger) equation should
be configured to ensure that the relay triggers an event report for any protection
operation. See Table 7.17 for details.
Trip-Logic Settings
TRnn (Trip Elements)
Specify the conditions under which individual trip elements must assert with the
TRnn setting. Default settings for the TR01–TR06 are as follows:
In your application, you can use several trip elements to implement a simultane-
ous, unit separation, or sequential trip with a different equation for each.
Close Logic
Figure 5.226 shows the close logic that removes the close command from the cir-
cuit breaker after a set time. If the ESYSCT setting includes the terminal name,
and if the unlatch input SELOGIC control equation (ULCLm) is deasserted, the
two bottom inputs of the AND gate are logical 1. When SELOGIC control equa-
tion CLm asserts, the AND gate turns on. When the gate turns on, the Close Fail-
ure timer asserts and seals itself in through the OR gate for a time equal to the
CFD setting, or until ULCLm asserts. With the Close Failure timer sealed in, out-
put CLSm is also sealed in for the CFD time setting. Once the Close Failure timer
asserts, CFm Close Failure, Terminal m Relay Word bit asserts indicating a close
failure.
The close failure timer is unaffected by a setting group change. The timer starts
timing in the present setting group, continues to run for the intermediate time
between setting groups, and completes timing in the new setting group.

ment.
Relay Configuration
The V2 voltage input will be used to measure the generator neutral voltage.
Accordingly, EGNPT is set to V2.
ESYSPT is set to V1 because a system frequency measurement is required for the
synchronism-check and V/Hz functions.
EGNCT is set to X. This configures the generator neutral current to be the Termi-
nal X current that will be used by the loss-of-field, out-of-step, and phase dis-
tance elements.
ESYSCT is set to S, T. These CTs are used for the transformer differential and
for auxiliary protection functions.
Additionally, the following protection function are configured:
E24 := 2 Enable two V/Hz elements for protection of the generator and
GSU
E25 := T Enable synchronism check for Breaker T
E32 := 1 Enable one directional power element for anti-motoring pro-
tection
E40 := Z Set loss-of-field protection to impedance
E46 := 1 Enable one current unbalance element
E59 := 1 Enable one overvoltage function for IPB ground fault protec-
tion
E64G := G1, Enable the fundamental neutral overvoltage element to provide
G3 90%–95% coverage for stator ground faults and the third-har-
monic ratio check (G3) to provide protection for the first 15%
of the winding. The subharmonic injection unit (SEL-2664S
Stator Ground Protection Relay) will provide primary protec-
tion for stator ground faults.
E64S := Y Enable the subharmonic injection element to be used in con-
junction with the SEL-2264S
E78 := 1B Set the out-of-step protection element to single-blinder
and system impedance (XESYS) are entered in per unit. XDGEN can be entered
directly. XTXFR and XESYS must be converted to the generator base MVA
(MVAGEN) and generator base voltage (XESYS).
These settings are used for generating characteristic plots for the loss-of-field,
out-of-step, and backup distance elements. In addition, MVAGEN is used by the
current unbalance element and XDGEN and XESYS are used by the capability-
based loss-of-field element.
Synchronism Check
Because the AB voltage is connected to the VV1 input, VT is delta connected,
and the three phase-to-phase voltages are available as polarizing voltages. Set
SYNCP to VABZ.
Directional Power
The directional power element is configured to respond to the real power mea-
sured at the generator neutral, 3PGF.
For anti-motoring protection, the element is enabled as an over-power element
with a negative pickup setting equal to the expected motoring power in secondary
watts.
Therefore, if the transformer were replaced with a bus, the CT secondary currents
would sum to zero under normal operation. This means that angle compensation
is only required to account for the transformer.
The angle compensation rules from Compensation Calculations on page 5.19 are
applied. The delta winding is selected as the reference winding. The phase
sequence is ABC, so phase shifts are measured in the counterclockwise direction.
H1 is phase-shifted by 330° with respect to X1 in the counterclockwise direction.
Accordingly, 87SCTC2 is set to 11 and 87TCTC2 is set to 0.

SEL-400G (partial)
Phasor Reference
The phasor reference is the signal that is used as a reference for the angle of a
phasor measurement.
Terminal G defaults to the Terminal Z, positive-sequence voltage for the phasor
reference. If this signal is unavailable, then the Terminal G positive-sequence
current is used as the phase reference.
If the SEL-400G is configured to track the system voltage (ESYSPT != OFF),
Terminals S, T, U, and Y can be configured to use the system frequency for fre-
quency tracking. In this case, the phasor reference defaults to the Terminal V pos-
itive-sequence voltage. If this signal is unavailable, the relay will check the
availability of a Terminal V single-phase voltage (in order from VV1 to VV3). If
none of these voltages are available, the relay will check the availability of the
positive-sequence terminal currents (in order of S, T, U, and Y). If none of these
are available, the relay will check for the availability of the generator reference
(either Terminal Z positive-sequence voltage or Terminal G positive-sequence
current in that order). Table 7.1 summarizes the selection process.
Metering
The SEL-400G provides one-cycle average metering for measuring power sys-
tem conditions and differential protection values. Each SEL-400G processes
18 currents, 6 voltages, and 1 battery monitor.
Table 7.2 shows all the MET commands available in the relay.

Because of the large number of analog channels, not all analog channels are
required for every application. Furthermore, when the torque-control settings (of
those analog quantities that have torque-control settings) deassert, those analog
quantities are not shown in the meter report.
There are thus two different instances for not displaying analog quantities in the
meter report: you either did not select the analog quantity, or the analog quantity
is temporarily not calculated when the torque-control equation deasserts. To dis-
tinguish between these two conditions, the relay displays dashes (-----) when the
analog quantity is not selected, and zeros (000.00) when the torque-control equa-
tion deasserts.
Phase and rms currents for the terminals are zeroed out if the measured secondary
phase current is less than 2 percent of nominal current.
Sequence currents for the terminals are zeroed out if the measured secondary
maximum phase current is less than 2 percent of nominal current.
Phase and rms voltages for the terminals are zeroed out if the measured second-
ary voltage is less than 5 percent of nominal voltage.
Sequence voltages for the terminals are zeroed out if the measured secondary
maximum phase voltage is less than 5 percent of nominal voltage.
Instantaneous Metering
Fundamental Meter
Use the MET (F) w command (w = S, T, U, Y, G, V, Z) to view the fundamental
(60 or 50 Hz) metering values. When you type MET without an argument, the
report defaults to Terminal S. For each terminal, the fundamental meter report
provides the quantities shown in Table 7.4.
Table 7.3 shows the order of valid reference quantities that the relay uses to dis-
play the angular relationship among the metering values.
Quantity Description
Enable current, voltage, and power meter quantities with the following settings:
➤ Current: include the terminal in ESYSCT
➤ Power (fundamental power only): include Terminal t. Power is
always calculated for Terminal G and those terminals included in the
EPCAL setting.
Use the MET (F) t command (t = S, T, U, Y, G) to view the fundamental (60 or
50 Hz) metering values. When you type MET without an argument, the report
defaults to Terminal G. For each terminal, the fundamental meter report provides
the quantities shown in Table 7.4.

Power
Table 7.4 shows the power quantities that the relay measures. The instantaneous
power measurements are derived from 1-cycle averages that the SEL-400G
reports by using the generator condition of the positive power flow convention;
for example, real and reactive power flowing out (export) is positive, and real and
reactive power flowing in (import) is negative (see Figure 7.2). For power factor,
LAG and LEAD refer to whether the current lags or leads the applied voltage.
The reactive power Q is positive when the voltage angle is greater than the cur-
rent angle (V > I), which is the case for inductive loads where the current lags
the applied voltage. Conversely, Q is negative when the voltage angle is less than
the current angle (V < I); this is when the current leads the voltage, as in the
case of capacitive loads.

The SEL-400G includes Relay Word bits to indicate the leading or lagging power
factor (see Section 11: Relay Word Bits). In the case of a unity power factor or
loss of phase or potential condition, the resulting power factor angle would be on
this axis of the complex power (P/Q) plane shown in Figure 7.2. This would
cause the power factor Relay Word bits to rapidly change state (chatter). Be
aware of expected system conditions when monitoring the power factor Relay
Word bits. SEL does not recommend the use of chattering Relay Word bits in the
SER or anything that will trigger an event.
RMS Meter
Use the MET RMS command to view the rms current for Terminal G and volt-
age values for Terminal Z; the relay does not calculate rms power values.

Secondary Meter
Use the MET SEC command to see the secondary fundamental current and volt-
age values for all terminals. Included with each value are the associated CT or PT
ratio and the associated frequency tracking source—generator (G) or system (S).

The MET DIF A command shows the content from the MET DIF command,
additional information for matrix compensation, differential settings, and differ-
ential Relay Word bits. You can use this extra information during commissioning
and troubleshooting. For each phase (A, B, C), the currents for each enabled ter-
minal (e.g., S, T) appear in a table format (see Figure 7.9). On the left side of the
table, the primary and secondary current magnitudes appear along with the corre-
sponding phase angles. The phase angles are referred to whichever terminal is
listed first in the Enabled Terminals list. As described in Universal Differential
Elements on page 5.18, the secondary currents are divided by taps to make per-
unit values before undergoing matrix compensation. The right portion of the
MET DIF A response shows the per-unit current magnitudes (after tap compen-
sation), as well as the per-unit magnitudes and angles after matrix compensation.
Use the MET DIF Z1 A and MET DIF Z2 A commands to view the Zone 1 and
Zone 2 reports
Beneath the current table, the MET DIF A command displays the CT connec-
tions (Y or D) for each enabled terminal, as well as the associated tap values and
matrix compensation numbers (0–13). If Matrix 13 is chosen, the user-settable
angle shift appears, along with the value for the zero-sequence removal setting
option.
The final portion of the MET DIF A command response displays the differential
Relay Word bits from the restrained differential logic, as well as the Relay Word
bits from the unrestrained differential logic. To aid in troubleshooting, the com-
mand response also displays Relay Word bits associated with harmonic blocking.

The relay receives the actual RTD temperature from the remote module. If the
temperature is greater than 250°C, the RTCnOC bit will assert and the RTCnOK
Relay Word bit deasserts. If the temperature is less than –50°C, The RTCnSC bit
will assert and the RTCnOK Relay Word bit deasserts. Otherwise, RTCnOK is
asserted.
When the received temperature is above +250°C or below –50°C, RTCnTV takes
the clamped temperature value of +250°C or –50°C, respectively.
A quality bit from the connected device can be mapped to the SELOGIC Relay

Reporting
The SEL-400G features comprehensive power system data analysis capabilities.
These are described in Section 9: Reporting in the SEL-400 Series Relays
Instruction Manual. This section describes reporting characteristics that are
unique to the SEL-400G.
Table 7.15 lists the maximum number of data captures/event reports the relay
stores in nonvolatile memory when ERDIG = S for various report lengths and
sample rates. The relay automatically overwrites the oldest events with the new-
est events when the nonvolatile storage capacity is exceeded.
The relay stores high-resolution raw and filtered event data in nonvolatile mem-

time when choosing a value for ory. Table 7.15 lists the storage capability of the SEL-400G for common event

12 data captures when ERDIG = S.

When the event report digital setting is set to include all Relay Word bits in the
event report (ERDIG = A), the maximum number of stored reports is reduced, as
shown in Table 7.16.
The .HDR file contains summary information about the event in ASCII format.
The .DAT file is in binary format and contains the values for each input channel
for each sample in the record. These data conform to the IEEE C37.111-2013
COMTRADE standard. The .CFG file is an ASCII configuration file that
describes the layout of the .DAT file. The .CFG file contains data such as sample
rates, number of channels, generator and system frequency, channel information,
and report digitals. Figure 7.26 shows a typical IEEE C37.111-2013 COMTRADE
file format for the high-resolution event report. For more information relating the
.CFG, .DAT, and .HDR files refer to Section 9: Reporting in the SEL-400 Series

Event Summary
You can retrieve a summary version of stored event reports as event summaries.
These short-form reports present vital information about a triggered event. The
relay generates an event in response to power system faults and other trigger
events. See Figure 7.29 for a sample event summary.
Event Description
Event History
The event history gives you a quick look at recent relay activity. The relay labels
each new event with a unique number from 10000 to 42767. (At 42767, the top of
the numbering range, the relay returns to 10000 for the next event number and
then continues to increment.)
The event history contains the following:
➤ Standard report header
➢ Relay and terminal identification
➢ Date and time of report
➤ Event number
➤ Event date and time
➤ Event type
➤ Active group at the trigger instant
➤ Targets
The event types in the event history are the same as the event types in the event
summary (see Table 7.17 for event types). The event history report indicates
events stored in relay nonvolatile memory. The relay places a blank row in the
history report output; items that are above the blank row are available for viewing
(use the HIS command). Items that are below the blank row are no longer in relay
memory; these events appear in the history report to indicate past power system
performance.
The relay does not ordinarily modify the numerical or time order in the history
report. However, if an event report is corrupted (power was lost during storage,
for example), the relay lists the history report line for this event after the blank row.

81A
Use the 81A command to view the accumulated frequency element quantities.
When you issue the reset command 81A R or C, the relay responds, Clear All
Frequency Bands accumulated time data, Are you sure (Y/N)? If you
answer Y <Enter>, the relay responds Frequency Bands Accumulated Time
Data Archives Cleared. Similarly, for 81A n R or C, the relay responds Fre-
quency Band n Accumulated Time Data Archives Cleared. If you preset
accumulated time values using the 81A P command (format dddd:hh:mm:ss.s),
the relay responds with Are you sure (Y/N)? If you answer Y <Enter>, the
relay responds Frequency Band Accumulated Time Values Preloaded.
METER
The METER command displays reports about quantities the relay measures in
the power system (voltages, currents, frequency, remote analogs, etc.) and inter-
nal relay operating quantities (math variables and analog quantities).
MET
Use the MET command to view fundamental metering quantities. The relay fil-
ters harmonics and subharmonics to present only measured quantities at the
power system fundamental operating frequency.
The MET command without options shows the fundamental metering data of the
generator (Terminal G). Specify a specific terminal by using the terminal param-
eter command options. For example, specify MET T to view the fundamental
metering quantities of Terminal T.
Some situations require that you repeatedly monitor the power system for a brief
period; specify a number after any MET command to automatically repeat the
command.
MET DIF
Use the MET DIF command to view the differential current metering data, in
multiples of tap.
If the differential is disabled for a particular zone and the MET DIF command is
issued for that zone, the relay displays the message Differential Elements n
Disabled.
MET E
Use the MET E command to view the energy import and export quantities.
Energy values are displayed for the generator and for any terminals enabled in the
EPCAL setting (S, T, U, and Y).
The reset command, MET RE, resets the generator energy metering quantities.
When you issue the MET RE command, the relay responds, Reset Energy
Metering (Y/N)? If you answer Y <Enter>, the relay responds, Energy Meter-
ing Reset.
MET H
Use the MET H command to view secondary harmonic metering quantities.
MET M
Use the MET M command to view minimum/maximum metering quantities.
The reset command, MET RM, resets the minimum/maximum metering quanti-
ties. When you issue the MET RM command, the relay responds, Reset Min/
Max Metering (Y/N)? If you answer Y <Enter>, the relay responds, Min/Max
Metering Reset.
MET RMS
Use the MET RMS command to view fundamental metering quantities for the
generator (Terminal G).
MET RTD
Use the MET RTD command to view RTD temperature data.
MET SEC
Use the MET SEC command to view secondary fundamental metering quanti-
ties.
MET SYN
Use the MET SYN command to view synchronism-check metering quantities.

DNP3 Communication
DNP3 operation is described in Section 16: DNP3 Communication in the
SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual. This section describes aspects of
DNP3 communication that are unique to the SEL-400G.
Table 10.10 shows the Binary Input reference map. The entire Relay Word (see
Section 11: Relay Word Bits) is part of the DNP3 reference map. You may
include any label in the Relay Word as part of a DNP3 custom map. Note that
Binary Inputs registered as SER points (SET R settings) will maintain SER-qual-
ity time stamps for DNP3 events.
Table 10.11 shows the Binary Output reference map. See Binary Outputs on
page 10.20 for additional information.
Table 10.12 shows the Binary Counter reference map. See Counters on

mation.
Table 10.13 shows the Analog Input reference map. The SEL-400G scales analog
values by the indicated settings or fixed scaling. Analog inputs for event (fault)
summary reporting use a default scale factor of 1 and deadband of ANADBM.
Per-point scaling and deadband settings specified in a custom DNP3 map will
override defaults.

Synchrophasors
General synchrophasor operation is described in Section 18: Synchrophasors in
the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual. This section describes character-
istics of synchrophasors that are unique to the SEL-400G.
The SEL-400G complies with IEEE C37.118-2011. The SEL-400G supports the
P class. For information on the accuracy classes, refer to the IEEE C37.118.1-2011
standard.
NOTE: To meet P class latency The SEL-400G has 18 current channels and 6 voltage channels. Current Termi-
requirements, set PMOTSn = UDP_S,
UDP_T, or UDP_U. nals S, T, U, W, X, Y, and voltage Terminals V, Z are three-phase channels.
Table 10.28 shows the default current synchrophasor names, enable conditions,
and the CT ratio used to scale to the primary values.
Phasor
Phasor Enable Conditions CT Ratio
Name
Phasor
Phasor Enable Conditions CT Ratio
Name
Accuracy
The SEL-400G has the following phasor measurement accuracy:
TVE (total vector error) 1 percent for one or more of the following influence
quantities:
➤ Voltage magnitude range: 30 V–150 V
➤ Current magnitude range: (0.1–2) • INOM (INOM = 1 A or 5 A)
➤ Phase angle range: –179.99° to 180°
➤ Signal frequency range: ±2 Hz of nominal (50 or 60 Hz)
➤ Harmonic distortion: 1 percent (any harmonic)
It is important to note that the synchrophasors can only be correlated when the
PMU is in HIRIG or HPTP timekeeping mode, which can be verified by monitor-
ing the TSOK Relay Word bit. When TSOK = logical 1, the PMU timekeeping is
synchronized to the high-accuracy IRIG-B signal or Precision Time Protocol
(PTP) time source, and the synchrophasor data are precisely time-stamped. See
Section 11: Time and Date Management in the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction
Manual for details.
Communications Protocol
Modbus TCP Queries
The Modbus request or response is encapsulated when carried on a Modbus TCP/
IP network. A dedicated header used on TCP/IP identifies the Modbus Applica-
tion Data Unit (ADU). The header is called the MBAP (Modbus Application Pro-
tocol header), and it contains the following fields shown in Table 10.29.
The Modbus TCP message consists of the MBAP Header, followed by the Mod-
bus function code and the data supporting the function code. The Modbus TCP
message does not contain a CRC because error checking is accomplished through
TCP.
Modbus Responses
The subordinate device sends a response message after it performs the action the
query specifies. If the subordinate cannot execute the query command for any
reason, it sends an error response. Otherwise, the subordinate device response is
formatted similarly to the query and includes the MBAP header, function code
and data (if applicable). Note that because subordinate devices are differentiated
using the Unit Identifier field in the MBAP header, there is no need for a subordi-
nate address field like in Modbus RTU.
Codes Description
In the event that any of the errors listed in Table 10.31 occur, the relay assembles
a response message that includes the exception code in the data field. The relay
sets the most significant bit in the function code field to indicate to the master
that the data field contains an error code, instead of the required data.
Function Codes
01h Read Discrete Output Coil Status Command
Use function code 01h to read the On/Off status of the selected bits (coils) (see
the Output Coils table shown in Table 10.42). The SEL-400G coil addresses start
at 0000. The coil status is packed one coil per bit of the data field. The Least Sig-
nificant Bit (LSB) of the first data byte contains the starting coil address in the
query. The other coils follow towards the high order end of this byte and from
low order to high order in subsequent bytes. The command request and response
are shown in Table 10.32.
Bytes Field
To build the response, the SEL-400G calculates the number of bytes required to
contain the number of bits requested. If the number of bits requested is not evenly
divisible by eight, the device adds one more byte to maintain the balance of bits,
padded by zeros to make an even byte. Table 10.42 includes the coil number and
lists all possible coils available in the device.
The relay responses to errors in the query are shown in Table 10.33.
Table 10.33 Responses to 01h Read Discrete Output Coil Query Errors
Bytes Field
To build the response, the device calculates the number of bytes required to con-
tain the number of bits requested. If the number of bits requested is not evenly
divisible by eight, the device adds one more byte to maintain the balance of bits,
padded by zeros to make an even byte.
In each row, the input numbers are assigned from the right-most input to the left-
most input (i.e., input address 0 is reserved for future use and input address 7 is
EN). Input addresses start at 0000. Table 10.35 includes a sample of input
addresses in decimal and hexadecimal for some inputs (Relay Word bits) avail-
able in the device.
The Address numbers are assigned from the right-most address to the left-most
address in the Relay row, as shown in the following SEL-400G example.
Address 7 = EN
Address 6 = TRIPLED
Address 5 = reserved for future use
Address 4 = reserved for future use
Address 3 = reserved for future use
Address 2 = reserved for future use
Address 1 = reserved for future use
Address 0 = reserved for future use
Address 15 = TLED_1
Address 14 = TLED_2
Address 13 = TLED_3
Address 12 = TLED_4
Address 11 = TLED_5
Address 10 = TLED_6
Address 9 = TLED_7
Address 8 = TLED_8
Bytes Field
The relay responses to errors in the query are shown in Table 10.38.

The relay responses to errors in the query are shown in Table 10.40.

Table 10.42 lists the coil numbers supported by the SEL-400G. A set operation
(FF) to decimal address 32–63 has the effect of pulsing the corresponding
Remote Bit in the relay. RBnnP itself is not a Relay Word bit but an internal label
used to differentiate Remote Bit pulsing from the Set/Clear operation of RBnn.

Modbus Documentation
Configurable Register Mapping
The SEL-400G Modbus Register Map defines an area of 1000 contiguous
addresses whose contents are defined by user-settable labels. Use the SEL ASCII
command SET U (or the Modbus User Map settings in SEL Grid Configurator
Software) to define the user map addresses. A default map is provided with the
relay. If the default Modbus map is not appropriate or more data are desired, edit
the map as necessary for your application.
To use the user-defined data region, follow these steps.
Step 1. Define the list of desired quantities (as many as 1000). Arrange the
quantities in any order that is convenient for you to use.
Step 2. Refer to Table 10.52 for a list of the Modbus labels for each quantity.
Step 3. Use the SET U command from the command line or Grid
Configurator Modbus User Map to map user registers 1 to 1000
(UM1 to UM1000) using the labels in Table 10.52 and to map scaling
values (UMS1 to UMS1000).
Step 4. Use Modbus function code 03h or 04h to read as many as 125
quantities at a time from map indexes 1 through 1000 (decimal). The
Modbus addresses begin with zero, which corresponds to Set U
setting UM1.
NOTE: If your master uses 5- or The relay multiplies the corresponding analog quantity value by this scaling
6-digit address references, add the
appropriate number to the Modbus number. Note that the Modbus master should divide by this number to obtain the
Address when configuring your original analog quantity value. Blank entries are not allowed in the Modbus User
master. For example, if your master
uses 5-digit addressing, add 40001 for
Map. If the User Map text file is sent to the relay containing blank entries, the
holding register operations. For input relay will condense the map so that no blank entries exist. To create spacing in
register functions, add 30001. If your
master uses 6-digit addressing, add
the map, enter a value of 0 for each unused line. If 0 is used, the scaling value for
400001 for holding register that quantity is forced to 1. Some analog quantities having scaling values that are
operations or 300001 for input always forced to 1 (see Table 10.52).

Use Modbus function code 03 or 04 to read the Modbus registers. The LSTEVSN
label will contain the most recent event serial number. To read relay event sum-
mary data for a particular event using Modbus, use function code 06 to write the
event number to the Modbus register containing the EVESEL label. The
SEL-400G will populate the other event related registers with the data related to
the event number specified in the EVESEL label address. Issue a Modbus func-
tion code 03 or 04 command to read the registers containing the history data.
For example, issue the HIS command to view stored events in the relay, as shown
in Figure 10.3.
=>>HIS <Enter>
=>>
NOTE: The Modbus Map is indexed In this example, retrieve the event summary data for the trip event by setting reg-
beginning with 1, which corresponds to
register address 0 in Modbus. ister address 0001 to the value of 3 (the third oldest event) using a function code
06 command. If a value is written to the EVESEL register for an event that does
not currently exist in the history data, the SEL-400G will respond with an excep-
tion code 03.
Following the function code 06 command, issue a function code 03 or 04 com-
mand to read Registers 0–11. The data returned in Registers 2–11 contain the
event time, event date, generator frequency, system frequency, active settings
group, and event type associated with the third oldest event.
The relay also returns the event summary data if the unique event serial number is
written to the EVESEL register as long as that event is currently in the history
data. So, repeating the previous example, the same trip event can be retrieved by
loading the Event Serial Number of 10001 into EVESEL.
When the history data are cleared in the relay, either from the HIS C command or
from a remote control point, the LSTEVSN register will contain the value of 0,
indicating there are no events that can be read using Modbus. The Modbus event
summary data registers may contain data from a past event, until a new valid
event number is written to the EVESEL register.

Firmware
Determining the Firmware Version
To determine the firmware version, view the status report by using the serial port
STATUS command or the front-panel HMI. The status report displays the Firm-
ware Identification (FID) number.
The firmware version will be either a standard release or a point release.
A standard release adds new functionality to the firmware beyond the specifica-
tions of the existing version. A point release is reserved for modifying firmware
functionality to conform to the specifications of the existing version.
A standard release is identified by a change in the R-number of the device FID
number.
Existing firmware:
FID=SEL-400G-x-R100-V0-Z001001-Dxxxxxxxx
Standard release firmware:
FID=SEL-400G-x-R101-V0-Z001001-Dxxxxxxxx
A point release is identified by a change in the V-number of the device FID number.
Existing firmware:
FID=SEL-400G-x-R100-V0-Z001001-Dxxxxxxxx
Point release firmware:
FID=SEL-400G-x-R100-V1-Z001001-Dxxxxxxxx
The release date is after the D. For example, the following is firmware version
number R100, release date December 10, 2003.
FID=SEL-400G-x-R100-V0-Z001001-D20031210
Similarly, the device SELBOOT firmware revision (BFID) will be reported as:
BFID=SLBT-4XX-Rxxx-Vx-Zxxxxxx-Dxxxxxxxx

tion of modifications. The most recent SELBOOT revision is listed first.
ICD File
To find the ICD revision number in your relay, view the configVersion by using
the serial port ID command. The configVersion is the last item displayed in the
information returned from the ID command.
configVersion = ICD-400G-R202-V0-Z306005-D20150421
The ICD revision number is after the R (e.g., 202) and the release date is after the
D (e.g., 20150421). This revision number is not related to the relay firmware
revision number. The configVersion revision displays the ICD file version used to
create the CID file that is loaded in the relay.
The configVersion contains other useful information. The Z-number consists of
