SEL-700G Generator Protection Relay
Comprehensive protection for large,
medium, and small generators
• Provide primary and backup generator protection with current,
voltage, frequency, distance, power, and out-of-step elements.
• Achieve 100 percent stator ground protection with full winding
coverage.
• Use the automatic synchronizer and event reports to analyze
generator startup, shutdown, or system faults.
• Support installations with low-energy analog (LEA) voltage sensors,
Rogowski coils, and low-power current transformers (LPCTs).
• Improve network recovery via alternate paths in a network
with the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).

Key Features
Comprehensive Generator Protection
Connect the SEL-700G Generator Protection Relay across small, medium, or
large generators for complete primary and backup protection. Adding the neutral
voltage connection provides 100 percent stator ground protection, based on
fundamental-frequency and third-harmonic neutral voltage measurements.
Connecting the neutral current input provides protection for solidly grounded
or resistance-grounded generators.
Automatic Synchronizer
Replace external generator control and synchronizer relays with the built-in
automatic synchronizer function. The SEL-700G automatically synchronizes
the frequency, voltage, and phase control of the generator with the power
system. Generator start reports and the PC-based synchroscope allow you to
monitor the generator synchronization. The built-in automatic synchronizer
function is available on select SEL-700G models.
LEA Sensor Inputs
The SEL-700G can be ordered with LEA inputs to support medium- and low
voltage applications that use low-energy voltage sensors and Rogowski coils
or other low-power current sensors. Order your device with the combination
of LEA current and voltage inputs that suits your application.
Islanding Protection
Detect islanding conditions using the vector shift function. The vector shift
function provides another element of protection for distributed generators
connected to the utility network. It operates within three cycles—fast enough
to prevent out-of-synchronization reclosing with the network feeders to avoid
generator damage.
Easy Communications
Choose from single or dual copper or fiber-optic Ethernet ports,
serial communications, and several protocols, including Mirrored Bits
communications, RSTP, IEC 61850 Edition 2. EtherNet/IP, the IEEE 1588 Precision
Time Protocol (PTP) (firmware-based), IEC 60870-5-103. and the Parallel
Redundancy Protocol (PRP). Multiple Modbus TCP or Modbus serial sessions
are available for custom configuration of your application. You can also use
DNP3 serial or DNP3 LAN/WAN protocols. In addition, the IEC 61850 test mode
enables in-service testing, which reduces commissioning time.
