SEL-421 Relay

Installation

Connection

Step 21. Reconnect the cable removed in

Step 8

and reinstall the relay

front-panel cover.

Step 22. Reattach the rear-panel connections.

Affix the screw terminal connectors to the appropriate 100-
addresses, 200-addresses, and 300-addresses locations on the
rear panel.

Step 23. Reconnect any serial cables that you removed from the

EIA-232

PORTS

in the disassembly process.

Step 24. Follow your company standard procedure to return the relay to

service.

Monitor Connections
(DC Battery)

The SEL-421 monitors two dc battery systems. For information on the battery
monitoring function, see

Station DC Battery System Monitor on page A.2.21

Connect the positive lead of Battery System 1 to Terminal #

Z25

and the

negative lead of Battery System 1 to Terminal #

Z26

. (Usually Battery

System 1 is also connected to the rear-panel

POWER

input terminals.) For

Battery System 2, connect the positive lead to Terminal #

Z27

, and the negative

lead to Terminal #

Z28

Secondary Circuit
Connections

The SEL-421 has two sets of three-phase current inputs and two sets of three-
phase voltage inputs.

Shared Configuration Attributes on page U.2.1

describes

these inputs in detail. The alert symbol and the word

DANGER

on the rear panel

indicate that you should use all safety precautions when connecting secondary
circuits to these terminals.

To verify these connections, use SEL-421 metering (see

Examining Metering

Quantities on page U.4.33

). You can also review metering data in an event

report that results when you issue the

TRIGGER

command (see

Triggering

Data Captures and Event Reports on page A.3.4

Fixed Terminal Blocks

Connect the secondary circuits to the

terminal blocks on the relay rear panel.

Note the polarity dots above the odd-numbered terminals #

Z01

, #

Z03

, #

Z05

Z07

, #

Z09

, and #

Z11

for CT inputs. Similar polarity dots are above the odd-

numbered terminals #

Z13

, #

Z15

, #

Z17

, #

Z19

, #

Z21

, and #

Z23

for PT inputs.

Fuse

NOTE:

The combined voltages

applied to the

POWER

and

MONITOR

terminals must not exceed 600 V
(rms or dc).

Contact with instrument terminals
can cause electrical shock that can
result in injury or death.
