Instruction Manual Instruction Manual S E C T I O N Installation The first steps in applying the SEL-421 Relay are installing and connecting the relay. This section describes common installation features and particular installa- tion requirements for the many physical configurations of the SEL-421. You can order the relay in horizontal and vertical orientations, and in panel-mount and rack-mount versions.
Page 52
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes Front-Panel Templates The horizontal front-panel template shown in Figure 2.1 is the same for all 3U, 4U, and 5U horizontal versions of the relay. The vertical front-panel template (shown in Figure 2.1) is the same for all 3U, 4U, and 5U vertical versions of the relay.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes Operator Control Labels Target Opening Label Opening Target Label Operator Control Labels Opening Figure 2.1 Horizontal Front-Panel Template (a); Vertical Front-Panel Template (b) Rear Panels Rear panels are identical for the horizontal and the vertical configurations of the relay.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes Connector Types Screw-Terminal Connectors—I/O and Monitor/Power Connect to the relay I/O and Monitor/Power terminals on the rear panel through screw-terminal connectors. You can remove the entire screw-terminal connector from the back of the relay to disconnect relay I/O, dc battery monitor, and power without removing each wire connection.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes (In a vertical-mount relay, the right rear side is at the top.) Figure 2.3 Rear 3U Template, Connectorized Analog Inputs Secondary Circuits The SEL-421 is a very low burden load on the CT secondaries and PT secondar- ies.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes Analog Input Module also sets its internal calculations based on this command. The relay internally transmits these data to the Axion modules and adjusts the appropriate scaling in the Axion module when this command is used. In addition to the CT nominal values, TiDL relays also require you to set the nominal frequency by issuing the CFG NFREQ command.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes The control input accuracy is ±5 percent of the applied signal plus ±3 Vdc. The maximum voltage input is 300 Vdc, and the relay samples the control inputs at 2 kHz. See Data Processing on page 9.1 in the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes The recognition times listed in Table 2.2 are only valid when: ➤ The ac signal applied is at the same frequency as the power system. ➤ The signal is within the ac threshold pickup ranges defined in Optoisolated (Use With AC or DC Signals) on page 1.15.
Installation Shared Configuration Attributes mechanical contact to interrupt (break) highly inductive dc currents. The contacts can carry continuous current, while eliminating the need for heat sinking and pro- viding security against voltage transients. With any hybrid output, break time varies according to the circuit inductive/resis- tive (L/R) ratio.
2.10 Installation Shared Configuration Attributes OUT01 Figure 2.6 High-Speed, High-Current Interrupting Control Output Connection, INT5 (INT8) Figure 2.7 shows a representative connection for a Form A high-speed, high-cur- rent interrupting control output on the INT4 I/O interface terminals. The HS marks are included to indicate that this is a high-speed control output.
Installation 2.11 Shared Configuration Attributes 1MΩ 1MΩ Figure 2.8 High-Speed, High-Current Interrupting Control Output Typical Terminals, INT5 (INT8) Figure 2.9 shows some possible connections for this third terminal that will elim- inate the false pick-up transients when closing an external switch. In general, you must connect the third terminal to the dc rail (positive or negative) that is on the same side as the open external switch condition.

This setting provides less expansion of the distance element characteristics, while still providing security for zero-voltage three-phase faults. SEL recommends that you use this setting. If your application requires more expansion of the distance element characteris- tics, set VMEMC = 1.
5.16 Protection Functions Frequency Estimation If the frequency is in the 20–80 Hz range, but outside the 40–65 Hz range (for example, 70 Hz), FREQP shows the frequency the relay measures and FREQ shows the clamped frequency. In this case, FREQP = 70 Hz and FREQ = 65 Hz. Table 5.13 summarizes the frequency measurement and frequency tracking ranges.

5.20 Protection Functions Over- and Underfrequency Elements Each frequency element can operate as an overfrequency or as an underfrequency element, depending on its pickup setting. If the element pickup setting (81DnP, n = 1–6) is less than the nominal system frequency setting, NFREQ, the element operates as an underfrequency element, picking up if measured frequency is less than the set point.
Protection Functions 5.21 Time-Error Calculation P (Level Pickup) Set the value at which you want the frequency element for each of six levels to assert. For a value of 81DnP less than the nominal system frequency NFREQ (50 or 60 Hz), the element operates as an underfrequency element. For a value greater than NFREQ, the element operates as an overfrequency element.

5.28 Protection Functions Loss-of-Potential Logic Loss-of-Potential Logic Fuses or molded case circuit breakers often protect the secondary windings of the power system potential transformers. Operation of one or more fuses or molded case circuit breakers results in a loss of polarizing potential inputs to the relay. Loss of one or more phase voltages prevents the relay from discriminating fault distance and direction properly.
Protection Functions 5.29 Loss-of-Potential Logic Setting ELOP := Y If you set ELOP to Y and an LOP condition occurs, the voltage-polarized direc- tional elements and all distance elements are disabled. The forward-looking directional overcurrent elements effectively become nondirectional and provide overcurrent protection during an LOP condition.

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.
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.
Converting Settings From SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 to SEL-421-4, -5 Global Settings Changes Table B.2 Analog Quantity Differences (Sheet 2 of 2) Old Line Name New Y Terminal Name New Z Terminal Name V1LPMRD V1YPMRD V1ZPMRD V1LPMID V1YPMID V1ZPMID The following analog quantities have changed names.
Front-Panel Settings Changes Front-Panel Settings Changes In the SEL-421-4, -5, the LED alias settings (TnLEDA) have been removed. Their equivalent functionality is available by aliasing the TLED_n bits using SET T. The only difference is that the old alias settings accept eight character aliases whereas the SET T aliases only accept seven characters.
Page 737
Converting Settings From SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 to SEL-421-4, -5 Port Settings Changes Table B.6 Ethernet Port Settings Differences (Sheet 2 of 2) Old SEL-421 Settings New SEL-421 Settings Notes DNPMAP This setting has been eliminated. Maps are now always custom.
Converting Settings From SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 to SEL-421-4, -5 DNP3 Mapping Changes DNP3 Mapping Changes DNP3 Settings Classes In previous versions of DNP3, there was one map for serial DNP3, SET_D1.TXT, and five maps for Ethernet DNP3, CARD\SET_DNPn.TXT. Now there are simply five maps that can be used for serial or Ethernet DNP3: SET_Dn.TXT.
B.14 Converting Settings From SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 to SEL-421-4, -5 DNP3 Mapping Changes Binary Outputs Indexes 0–127 used to map the CCIN bits. These were general-purpose, high- speed bits, but they are no longer available. The end user will need to remap these to remote bits.
Page 747
Analog Outputs In the SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 analog outputs were referenced by index: 0–255. These mapped to remote analogs: RA001–RA256. In the SEL-421-4, -5 these same remote analogs are available. So, if previously, Index 0 was referenced, the new reference is RA001. Similarly, Index 1 goes to RA002, etc.
IEC 61850 Object Changes The SEL-421-0, -1, -2, -3 implementation of the IEC 61850 protocol suite differs slightly from the SEL-421-4, -5 implementation. Table B.14 lists the main func- tional changes between the two. Table B.14 IEC 61850 Functional Differences...

Autoreclosing One-Circuit-Breaker Autoreclosing NBK1 equals logical 1 when Circuit Breaker 1 is closed and the autoreclose logic is reset, or if the autoreclose logic is in an autoreclose cycle (79CY1 or 79CY3). NBK0 equals logical 1 when Circuit Breaker 1 is open and not in an autoreclose cycle (79CY1 or 79CY3), or if the autoreclose logic is locked out (BK1LO).

Autoreclosing 6.11 Two-Circuit-Breaker Autoreclosing recloser proceeds to timing SPOID (Single-Pole Open Interval Delay). The recloser goes to lockout if the circuit breakers fail to open (no close attempts fol- low). If an evolving fault results in a three-pole trip condition that asserts 3PARC, then the recloser exits the 79CY1 cycle and goes to the three-pole cycle 79CY3.

6.12 Autoreclosing Two-Circuit-Breaker Autoreclosing ➤ If a multiphase fault occurs during the SPRCD reclaim time, then the recloser asserts Relay Word bit 3PARC if all three-pole reclose conditions are satisfied (E3PRn is logical 1, for example) and recalculates the number of active circuit breakers, the leader, and the follower before proceeding to the autoreclose three-pole cycle state 79CY3.

6.16 Autoreclosing Two-Circuit-Breaker Autoreclosing Follower Logic The FBKCEN SEL control equation, Follower Breaker Closing Enable, OGIC defines the conditions necessary for the follower breaker to reclose. The relay selects the follower as follows: ➤ If Circuit Breaker BK1 is the leader and Circuit Breaker BK2 is not locked out, then Circuit Breaker BK2 is the follower.

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).
