SEL-300G Generator Relay
Protect, Monitor, and Control
Your Generator
Apply the SEL-300G for
comprehensive protection
and control of small,
medium, and large generators.
Features and Benefits
■ Limit Equipment Damage
Apply complete phase and neutral protection together with
100-percent stator ground fault detection. Specify optional unit
differential and thermal monitoring for important machines. Use
out-of-step, loss-of-excitation, overexcitation, frequency, and
directional power elements for detection of abnormal operating
conditions. Accurately detect generator field grounds. Make
settings and check connections with acSELE r at o r ® QuickSet™
SEL-5030 Software. Specify the optional synchronism check
function for supervision of paralleling operations.
■ Increase Generator Availability
Simplify fault and system disturbance analysis with oscillographic
event reports and a Sequential Events Recorder (SER). Monitor
real-time and accumulated off-nominal frequency, run-time hours,
full-load hours, and other important quantities. Minimize separate
metering devices by using voltage, current, power, power factor,
and energy metering capabilities. Monitor up to 12 machine
temperatures using the SEL-2600 Series RTD Modules.
■ Provide Secure Remote Control and Monitoring
Use Modbus®, ASCII communications, and SEL Fast SER capabilities
for control, monitoring, and alarm purposes. Control relay operation
and initiate or block automation sequences from remote or local
control systems using serial port commands
Complete Generator Fault Protection
Limit equipment damage and speed repairs with high-speed protection
for all types of phase and ground faults. Current and voltage elements,
combined with optional differential protection, make the SEL-300G
suitable for all generator sizes and configurations.
• Current and voltage elements protect large and small machines
against damaging faults.
• Optional differential protection provides sensitive and fast
protection for generators and unit transformers. Harmonic
blocking provides security when transformers are in the generator
differential zone.
• 100-percent stator ground fault protection uses fundamental and
third-harmonic voltage signals.
• Continuously measure field-to-ground resistance using the
SEL-2664 Field Ground Module. Accurately detect field ground
faults whether the generator is operating, stopped, or de-energized.
Speed repair and troubleshooting to reduce costs and get units back
online. Identify root cause for emergency and triggered shutdown
of generators and prime movers using detailed event reports. Program
recordings of voltage and current waveforms with internal relay and
external monitor points for an accurate record of operations and events.
• Improve operation analysis with a timed record of the last 512
operations of 96 different internal and external events.
• Use the built-in SER to verify startup and shutdown sequencing,
routine and emergency operations, and timing of alarms.
• Dual-element loss-of-field protection prevents rotor heating and
system instability from abnormally low excitation
Simplified Setup and Troubleshooting
Use acSELErator QuickSet to customize your generator protection.
Set and edit relay configuration, settings, and logic.
• View the HMI screens in acSELErator QuickSet to check wiring
polarity and connections.
• Receive instant alarm messages triggered by selectable relay
events using SEL Fast SER messaging.
• Use the acSELErator QuickSet Software Event Viewer or the more
advanced acSELErator Analytic Assistant SEL-5601 Software to
clearly view and understand system faults. To aid in analysis,
records can be up to 180 cycles long
