SEL Test Procedure Negative-Sequence Volt-Pol Directional Overcurrent Element

Angle References for SEL Test Procedure Negative-Sequence Volt-Pol Directional Overcurrent Element Relays

I am writing to enquire about 67N test procedures, specifically Schweitzer relays. The Page 94 of the Relay Testing Handbook #C2 : Practical Relay Testing (50/51/67/59/27/81/87/21) by Chris Werstiuk says “some relays, such as SEL models, do not have user defined characteristics and operate dynamically based on actual operating condictions”

Real World Problem With an SEL-300G Synch-Check

SEL-300G Synch-Check Function Angle Characteristics

Here is a story from one of our Customers at Manta Test Systems: “I had to troubleshoot a Schweitzer SEL-300G relay yesterday that had the (25) Sync-Check element enabled, but wouldn’t assert the close permissive. My customer had had extreme problems synchronizing the 16MW generator on-line. They sometimes had to

ASEA RAGEA 27N Gen Neutral Undervoltage

ASEA RAGEA 27N Gen Neutral Undervoltage

I can not find up dated information on this relay. I am testing with a manta 5000. I put 60 vac 60 hz on leads 7 and 8 and the relay picks up. Then on lead 11 & 12 I put 180 Hz and bring up vac to 1.27 and

Basler BE1-50BF Breaker Failure Relay Testing

Basler Be1-50BF Breaker Failure Relay

Happy New Year! Does anyone have experience with the Basler BE1-50BF Breaker Failure Relay that has the Control and T1 timer pots and test points on the front of the relay?  There are no timer setting wheels. I called Basler and it appears I need an oscilliscope to set the

Reclose Function

Reclose Function

Does anyone have a practical plan for testing the reclose function? I have used amp buckets run through the the breaker to the current input so that the fault current is present as soon as the breaker recloses but this is not always convenient. gcerniglia Are you talking about a
