SEL-700BT Motor Bus Transfer Relay
Comprehensive Motor Bus Transfer
Protective Relay
The SEL-700BT relay provides unsurpassed protection, integration, and control features in a flexible, compact, and cost
effective package.
➤ Comprehensive Motor Bus Transfer Features. Restore power before your motor slows down. The SEL-700BT
supports sequential and simultaneous transfer modes. The relay is designed to support four methods of MBT: fast,
in-phase, residual voltage, and fixed time. Initiate MBT manually or use the settings to select one of the automatic
transfer modes. The relay automatically selects one of the transfer modes based on the system condition.
➤ Basic Protection Features.
➢ Phase, negative-sequence, residual-ground, and
neutral-ground overcurrent elements
➢ Phase, negative-sequence, residual-ground, and
neutral-ground time-overcurrent elements
➢ Directional phase, negative-sequence, and
residual-ground overcurrent elements
➢ Breaker failure protection for three-pole
breakers
➢ Under- and overvoltage elements
➢ Inverse-time over- and undervoltage elements
➢ Loss-of-potential elements
➢ Over- and underfrequency protection elements
➢ Rate-of-change-of-frequency elements
➢ RTD protection (requires internal or external
SEL-2600 RTD option).
➤ Additional Protection Features. Synchronism-check elements; synchronism-check under- and overvoltage
elements; inverse-time over- and undervoltage elements; synchroscope; and vector shift elements for islanding
detection.
➤ Optional Low-Energy Analog (LEA) Voltage Sensor Inputs and Rogowski Coil/LPCT Currents Inputs. The
LEA input range for voltages is as high as 8 Vac rms. Based on the nominal feeder current, the relay automatically
sets the gain for the LEA current channel inputs, which allows for a wide range of primary currents.
➤ Operator Controls. Eight programmable front-panel pushbuttons each with two programmable tricolor LEDs
allow for a wide variety of uses, including easy trip and close control and status indications for a breaker.
Implement local and remote operator control schemes using 32 local and 32 remote control bits.
➤ Integrated Web Server. Log in to the built-in web server to view metering and monitoring data and to download
events, Sequential Events Recorder (SER), etc. Use the web server to view relay settings and to perform relay
firmware upgrades.
➤ Relay and Logic Settings Software. ACSELERATOR QuickSet® SEL-5030 Software reduces engineering costs
for relay settings and logic programming. The tools in QuickSet make it easy to develop SELOGIC® control
equations. Use the built-in phasor display to verify proper CT polarity and phasing. Use the synchroscope for
synchronism-check elements.
➤ Metering and Reporting. Built-in metering functions eliminate separately mounted metering devices. Analyze
SER reports and oscillographic event reports for rapid commissioning, testing, and post-fault diagnostics.
Unsolicited SER protocol allows station-wide collection of binary SER messages.
➤ Front-Panel HMI. Navigate the relay HMI using a 5-inch, color, 800 x 480-pixel touchscreen display.
➤ Additional Standard Features. Includes Modbus® RTU, Event Messenger support, Mirrored Bits®
communications, load profile and breaker wear monitoring, 128 remote analogs, support for 12 external RTDs
(SEL-2600 module), IRIG-B input, advanced SELOGIC, configurable labels, and fiber-optic serial port.
➤ Optional Communications Protocols. Optional communications protocols include IEC 61850 Edition 2. Modbus
TCP/IP, Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), IEEE 1588-2008 firmware-based PTP, EtherNet/IP, DNP3 LAN/
WAN, DNP3 serial, IEC 60870-5-103. RSTP, and PRP. With an Ethernet equipped relay, use the integrated web
server to view settings and metering and monitoring data, download reports, and upgrade firmware.
➤ Optional Communications Ports. Elective communications ports include EIA-232 or EIA-485 multimode fiber
optic serial port and single or dual, copper or fiber-optic Ethernet ports.
➤ Optional I/O Cards. Digital and analog I/O options include 4 AI/4 AO, 4 DI/4 DO, 8 DI, 8 DO, 8 AI, 3 DI/4 DO/
1 AO, 4 DI/3 DO, and 14 DI. An optional 10 internal RTD card is also available for the SEL-751. Conformal
coating for chemically harsh and/or high moisture environments is also available as an option.
➤ Language Support. Choose English or Spanish for your serial ports, including the front-panel serial port. The
standard relay front-panel overlay is in English; a Spanish overlay is available as an ordering option.

Combined Overcurrent Elements
The following instantaneous overcurrent elements are
provided in the SEL-700BT as shown in Table 2. All
instantaneous overcurrent elements provide torque
control and definite-time delay settings.
➤ As many as six instantaneous phase overcurrent
elements (50P) with peak detection algorithms to
enhance element sensitivity during high-fault
current conditions where severe CT saturation may
occur.
➤ As many as two instantaneous negative-sequence
overcurrent (50Q) elements.
➤ As many as two residual-ground instantaneous
overcurrent (50G) elements. These elements use
calculated residual (3I0) current levels.
➤ As many as two neutral instantaneous overcurrent
elements (50N).
Directional Instantaneous Overcurrent
Elements
The following directional overcurrent elements are
available in the SEL-700BT with directional control (see
Table 2).
➤ As many as two directional phase overcurrent
elements (67P).
➤ As many as two directional negative-sequence
overcurrent elements (67Q).
➤ As many as two directional residual-ground

Time-Overcurrent Elements
The SEL-700BT provides the time-overcurrent elements
listed in Table 2. These time-overcurrent elements
support the IEC and US (IEEE) time-overcurrent
characteristics. Electromechanical disc reset capabilities
are provided for all time-overcurrent elements.
➤ As many as two phase time-overcurrent (51P)
elements are provided. These phase elements
operate on the maximum of phase currents. One
51P element has directional control.
➤ As many as two negative-sequence time
overcurrent (51Q) elements are provided. These
elements operate on the calculated negative
sequence current for each set of three-phase inputs.
One 51Q element has directional control.
