SEL-351A Relay
Testing and Troubleshooting
Testing Philosophy
1. Verify control signal inputs and outputs.
2. Check breaker auxiliary inputs, SCADA control inputs, and
monitoring outputs.
3. Use an ac connection check to verify that the relay current and
voltage inputs are of the proper magnitude and phase rotation.
Brief fault tests ensure that the relay settings are correct. It is not necessary to
test every relay element, timer, and function in these tests.
At commissioning time:
1. Use the relay
METER
command to verify the ac current and
voltage magnitude and phase rotation.
2. Use the
PULSE
command to verify relay output contact
operation.
3. Use the
TARGET
command to verify optoisolated input
operation.
Maintenance Testing
When: At regularly scheduled intervals or when there is an indication of a
problem with the relay or system.
Goals:
1. Ensure that the relay is measuring ac quantities accurately.
2. Ensure that scheme logic and protection elements are
functioning correctly.
3. Ensure that auxiliary equipment is functioning correctly.
What to test: Anything not shown to have operated during an actual fault
within the past maintenance interval.
SEL relays use extensive self-testing capabilities and feature detailed metering
and event reporting functions that lower the utility dependence on routine
maintenance testing.
1. Use the SEL relay reporting functions as maintenance tools.
2. Periodically verify that the relay is making correct and accurate
current and voltage measurements by comparing the relay
METER output to other meter readings on that line.
3. Review relay event reports in detail after each fault.
Using the event report current, voltage, and relay element data,
you can determine that the relay protection elements are
operating properly.
Using the event report input and output data, you can determine
that the relay is asserting outputs at the correct instants and that
auxiliary equipment is operating properly.
At the end of your maintenance interval, the only items that need testing are
those that have not operated during the maintenance interval.
The basis of this testing philosophy is simple: If the relay is correctly set and
connected, is measuring properly, and no self-test has failed, there is no reason
to test it further.
