Monitoring
The relay provides extensive capabilities for monitoring substation components.
Most SEL-400 series relays provide the following useful features:
➤
Circuit Breaker Monitor on page 8.1
➤
Station DC Battery System Monitor on page 8.21
This section describes monitoring capabilities that are common to many SEL-400
series relays. Some relays include additional monitoring capabilities that are not
common to other SEL-4 series relays. See the relay specific instruction manuals
to determine the specific monitoring features available in each relay.
Circuit Breaker Monitor
The relay features advanced circuit breaker monitoring.
shows that the
relay processes phase currents, circuit breaker auxiliary contacts, and the substa-
tion dc battery voltages to detect out-of-tolerance and maximum life circuit
breaker parameters. These parameters include current interrupted, operating
times, and contact wear. By using relay monitoring, maintenance personnel can
determine the extent of a developing circuit breaker problem and select an appro-
priate response to correct the problem. These monitoring features are available
online in real-time; you can detect impending problems immediately. The result
is better power system reliability and improved circuit breaker life expectancy.
NOTE:
This section lists settings for
Circuit Breaker 1. The number of
circuit breakers and the circuit
breaker references vary between
relays. See the product-specific
instruction manual for the specific
breakers available for circuit breaker
monitoring.
One of the many circuit breaker monitor features is the circuit breaker contact
wear monitor. The relay tracks the number of circuit breaker close-open opera-
tions and respective fault interrupting levels for each of two circuit breakers. The
relay uses data from the circuit breaker manufacturer to compare the recorded
operational data with the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance require-
ments. The relay notifies you when each set of circuit breaker pole contacts
exceeds preset wear thresholds. Using this information, you can operate your
substation more economically by accurately scheduling circuit breaker mainte-
nance.
You can also collect the following data on these circuit breaker parameters:
➤
Circuit breaker wear
➤
Electrical operating time
➤
Mechanical operating time
➤
Circuit breaker inactivity time
➤
Interrupted current
➤
Pole scatter (for single-pole breakers only)
➤
Pole discrepancy (for single-pole breakers only)
➤
Motor run time
