    SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 to SEL-421-4, -5 Because of hardware changes and feature enhancements between the SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 and the SEL-421-4, -5, the handling of a number of settings has changed. In particular, the replacement of the SEL-2702 Ethernet Processor with integrated Ethernet has significantly changed the handling of Ethernet related set- tings.
  • Page 734: Table B.2 Analog Quantity Differences

    Analog Quantity Changes In the SEL-421-4, -5, some of the Analog Quantity names have changed. Because the SEL-421-4, -5 no longer supports two main boards there are no lon- ger ADC-style inputs available on the main board. As a result, the quantities IN101A–IN107A and IN101V–IN107V are no longer available.

  • Page 996 6.20 Autoreclosing Two-Circuit-Breaker Autoreclosing When BK1 successfully recloses, BK2 closes as the follower after timer TBBKD (Time Between Breakers for ARC). If BK1 goes to lockout during a reclose cycle (after BKCFD time), then BK2 will close as the follower. After timer 3PRCD (Three-Pole Reclaim Time Delay) expires, the recloser enters the reset state for BK2 (BK2RS).
