Procedure section of this guide. To Obtain an SEL-300G Relay Instruction Manual To obtain a copy of the SEL-300G Relay Instruction Manual, simply contact the factory using the instructions below. The SEL-300G Relay Instruction Manual contains additional details on relay operation and settings calculations.
Introduction The procedure below is intended to help you enter settings into an SEL-300G and verify that the relay is properly connected. Steps later in the procedure call for operation of the protected generator at no load, light load, and full load to verify ac connections and take measurements for calculation of 100% stator ground fault protection elements.
Relay Commissioning Procedure Step 1. Ensure that dc power is removed from the SEL-300G dc circuits by opening the appropriate dc breaker or removing dc fuses. Step 2. Verify the accuracy and correctness of the ac and dc connections by performing point-to-point continuity checks on the circuits associated with the SEL-300G Relay.

SEL World Wide Web site at http://www.selinc.com. Serial Port 1 on all the SEL-300G models is an EIA-485 port (4-wire). The Serial Port 1 plug-in connector accepts wire size AWG 24 to 12. Strip the wires 0.31 inches (8 mm) and install with a small slotted-tip screwdriver.
ST connectors A corresponding main board jumper must be installed to power the StarComm Modem with +5 Vdc (0.5 A limit) from the SEL-300G. See Figure 20 and Table 11. Data Terminal Equipment Data Communication Equipment Refer to Model Option Table for additional cable choices.

Step 12. Verify relay ac connections. Connect the protective relay ac test signal source to the SEL-300G through the ac protection cabinet wiring. (You may connect directly to the relay, however this does not verify the accuracy of the wiring in the protection cabinet.) Apply rated ac voltage (67 V1n, 120...

Step 4. Identify which drawout board needs to be changed. All SEL-300G models have a main board in the top guides, and Models 0300G_1 and 0300G_Y have an extra I/O board below the main board. Each board corresponds to a row of rear- panel screw-terminal blocks.
An extra alarm output contact can be obtained for all the SEL-300G models without the addition of any external hardware. The output contact next to the dedicated ALARM output contact can be converted to operate as an “extra alarm”...
