Introduction and Specifications System Features and Benefits The SEL-734W processes data from one or three SEL-WCS devices and from the CPT to implement a variety of cap bank control strategies. The SEL-734W uses current measured independently from three SEL-WCS devices and one measured voltage to provide three-phase switching decisions and monitoring.
Figure 1.3 depicts the key components of the SEL-WCS. Each SEL-WCS mounts onto and monitors the line current on one phase. The SEL-WCS periodi- cally sends the load data information, including the harmonics, to an SEL-734W. Spring for Secure Installation...

Grounding the Enclosure SEL recommends that the control power transformer serving the SEL-734W be on the same pole as the SEL-734W, as shown in Figure 2.4. All connections to WARNING the SEL-734W (e.g., ac supply from power transformer) must be routed in close Always follow local utility grounding practices.
In cabinets with a ground lug, the ground lug is bonded to the chassis ground of provides the correct ground-to- the SEL-734W and all metal parts in the cabinet. The ground lug is not bonded to neutral connection, or separation, as system neutral (see note).

S E C T I O N SEL-734W Overview The SEL-734W is a capacitor bank controller that controls the operation of capacitor bank switches on three-phase power systems. The SEL-734W comes with a pre-installed template that supports the following automatic control strategies: ➤...
Settings Figure 4.1 shows an SEL-734W. The orange rectangle in the figure indicates the switches where you make the different settings from those on the SEL-734B. Figure 4.1 SEL-734W...
The Voltage Phases setting is used to allow the SEL-734W to calculate power, VAs, and VARs for all three phases when the SEL-734W is only sensing a single- phase voltage. This is done by reusing the magnitude of the measured voltage phase, but rotating by ±120 degrees to get the two missing voltage phases.
Illuminates when the AVAR processing is active. Refer to SEL-734W Template Reference Guide for further details. ➤ Illuminates when the SEL-734W has not received an update from the SEL-WCS for 5 minutes. ➤ Extinguishes when the SEL-734W starts receiving a current update from the SEL-WCS.
The SEL-WCS transmits current magnitude intermittently. The SEL-734W inter- prets that data and creates a waveform that is recognized by the SEL-734W as an analog signal. This means that all of your metered currents are reported as a per- fect sin wave based on the last received rms value from the SEL-WCS.
SEL-734W before starting the measurement process. The SEL-734W provides a measure- ment range of 5 to 1000 A. The SEL-WCS is paired to an SEL-734W by settings selections made on both devices.

The SEL-WCS uses two control (DIP) switches (SW5 and SW6) to configure the phase information. Table 5.3 shows the phase identification settings.

(amplitude and spectral content). The SEL-734W receives the information and repeatedly uses it until a new update is received. The SEL-734W supports all the same functions of the SEL-734B, such as metering, power quality and event analysis, waveform capture, Sequence of Events (SOE) reporting, and capacitor bank control operation.
Because of the metering data differences between the SEL-734B and SEL-734W, the power quality given by them are different. SEL does not recommend that the SEL-734W be used as a revenue meter or a device that you expect to capture quick changes or transients.
Check that 120 Vac is present. Refer to the enclosure wiring and check that 120 Vac voltage is pres- ent between the control power fuse and neutral. ➢ Check the front panel. Refer to the appropriate design template guide to check the SEL-734W indi- cators of control power. ➤...
