SEL-387E Relay Functional Overview
Current Differential Protection
The SEL-387E Relay includes independent restrained and unrestrained current differential
elements. The restrained element has a dual-slope, variable-percentage restraint characteristic.
Use the fifth-harmonic element to prevent relay misoperation during allowable overexcitation
conditions. Even-harmonic elements (second and fourth harmonic) provide security against
inrush currents during transformer energization, complemented by the dc element which
measures the dc offset. The even-harmonic element offers the choice between harmonic
blocking and harmonic restraint. In the blocking mode, the user selects either blocking on an
individual phase basis or on a common basis, as per application and philosophy. The second-,
fourth-, and fifth-harmonic thresholds are set independently, and the dc blocking and harmonic
restraint features are enabled independently. A separate unrestrained differential element
provides faster clearance of high-magnitude internal faults.
