SEL-787-2/-3/-4 Transformer Protection Relay
The only compact platform with REF and
up to four-terminal differential protection
• LEA inputs support installations with low-energy voltage sensors,
Rogowski coils, and low-power current transformers (LPCTs).
• Dual-slope percentage differential protection with harmonic
blocking and restraint enhances security.
• User-configurable restricted earth fault (REF) element provides
sensitive ground-fault detection in grounded-wye transformers.
• The 5-inch, 800 � 480 color touchscreen display allows direct
monitoring and control of your system.
• An optional single-phase voltage input provides a synchronism
check or station battery monitor.
Key Features
Differential Protection
The SEL-787-2/-3/-4 provides dual-slope differential protection with
harmonic blocking and restraint for as many as four terminals and
provides as many as three independent REF elements for sensitive
ground-fault detection in grounded-wye transformers. Standard
overcurrent elements in the SEL-787-2/-3/-4 provide backup
protection, including phase, negative-sequence, residual-ground, and
neutral-ground elements. You can select breaker failure protection
for as many as four three-pole breakers.
Transformer Monitoring
Measure and track accumulated through-fault current levels, and use
optional 4 to 20 mA inputs or resistance temperature detector (RTD)
thermal inputs to monitor ambient, load tap changer (LTC) tank, or
transformer oil temperatures.
Flexible Communications
Advanced protocols support communications using legacy and
modern supervisory and control systems. These protocols include
IEC 61850 Edition 2. the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP),
EtherNet/IP, the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) (firmware
based), IEC 60870-5-103. the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP),
Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP), the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP),
DNP3 (serial and LAN/WAN), ASCII, Telnet, and the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP). In addition, the IEC 61850 test mode in the
SEL-787-2/-3/-4 enables in-service testing, which reduces
commissioning time.
LEA Sensor Inputs
The SEL-787-2/-3/-4 can be ordered with low-energy analog (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.
Proven Hardware
With an operating temperature range of –40° to +85°C (–40° to
+185°F), SEL equipment is designed to work in harsh substation
environments and exceeds requirements for reliable operation in
the presence of vibration, electromagnetic interference, and other
adverse environmental conditions. Optional conformal coating
provides extra protection in caustic environments. In addition, the
SEL-787-2/-3/-4 is ATEX-certified and Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) Class I, Division 2-certified for use in hazardous and potentially
explosive environments
