SEL-251, -2, -3 Instruction Manual
When IRIG-B data acquisition is activated either manually (with the IRIG command) or auto-
matically, two consecutive frames are taken. The older frame is updated by one second and the
two frames are compared. If they do not agree, the relay considers the data erroneous and
discards it.
The relay reads the time code automatically about once every five minutes. The relay stops
IRIG-B data acquisition ten minutes before midnight on New Year's Eve so the relay clock may
implement the year change without interference from the IRIG-B clock. Ten minutes later, the
relay restarts IRIG-B data acquisition.

You may follow the suggestions below or combine them with your normal practice. Never
implement recommendations prohibited by the rules of your normal practice. The checkout
procedure recommends various settings for ease of testing. These settings may not be applicable
to an in service installation.
The following equipment is required for initial checkout:
•
Portable terminal or computer with interconnecting cable (connect to Port 2F)
•
Control power to the relay power connections
•
Source of three-phase voltages and at least one current source
•
Ohmmeter or contact opening/closing device
•
Plug-in mating connectors/wiring harness (for plug-in connector model only)
1. Apply control power and make sure the terminal displays the startup message. If not, set
AUTO = 2 with the SET G command in Access Level 2. Check the settings with the
ACCESS and SHOWSET commands. Use the TIME command to set the clock.
2. Apply three-phase voltages. Execute the METER command and make sure the readings are
accurate. If they are not, be sure the correct PT ratio was entered. Remember that displayed
values are in primary line-to-line volts.
3. Use the TRIGGER command to generate an event record. Type
EVENT 1 <ENTER>
and
examine the event record. Refer to the top row of data as the "Y" components and the next
row as the "X" components. Using the SEL Direction and Polarity Check Form at the end of
this section, plot the three voltage phasors to ensure that they are 120
E
apart, of reasonable
magnitudes, and rotating in the positive-sequence direction. The zero-sequence voltage Y
and X components (times a factor of three) are the totals of the three Y components and the
three X components. These sums should be near zero if balanced three-phase potentials are
present.
4. Use the TARGET command to check all inputs (IN1-IN6). Type
TAR 7 <ENTER>
and the
front panel target LEDs display input states. Corresponding targets and inputs appear below:
