SEL-311A Instruction Manual
Step 5.
Determine the signals required to operate the element. For unsupervised elements,
simply use the following equations. Fulfilling the requirements of the supervisory
conditions may be more complicated. Refer to the test procedures appropriate to the
supervising element for details.
Step 6.
Apply the test signals.
Step 7.
Monitor the output contact assigned to indicate the state of the element under test to
ensure that the element asserts. Review the event reports to ensure that supervisory
conditions and the element under test asserted appropriately.
Calculating Overcurrent Element Test Quantities
The SEL-311A Relay is equipped with several different types of overcurrent elements. Each has
a specific purpose and a slightly different method of testing. The types of overcurrent elements,
the signals they operate from, and the elements of that type are listed below.

Overcurrent Element Test Examples
Examples below illustrate the test methods used for several elements.
Single-Phase Overcurrent Element: 50P1
Note:
The steps taken in the example test for the 50P1 nondirectional phase overcurrent
element may be applied to test the 50P2 and 50P3 nondirectional phase overcurrent
element as well as the residual and negative-sequence overcurrent elements 50G1,
50G2, 50G3, 50G4, 50GF, 50GR, 50Q1, 50Q2, 50Q3, 50Q4, 50QF, and 50QR.
Step 1.
Execute the
SHOWSET
command and verify the relay setting for the 50P1
overcurrent element. The example relay settings set the 50P1 element to pick up at
11.25 amps, secondary.
Step 2.
Select an output contact to indicate operation of the 50P1 overcurrent element. In
this example we use the OUT106 output.
From Access Level 2, execute the
SET L n
command to configure output OUT106
to close for assertion of the 50P1 overcurrent element.
