SEL-421 Relay

Date Code 20090715

Basic Relay Operations

Inspecting a New Relay

Initial Inspection

Perform the following initial inspection when the relay arrives:

Step 1. Remove the protective wrapping from the SEL-421.

Step 2. Observe the outside of the front cover and the rear panel.

Step 3. Check that no significant scratches or dents are evident on any 

outer surface.

Step 4. Confirm that all terminal strips on the rear panel are secure.

Cleaning

Perform the following steps and use care when cleaning the SEL-421:

Step 1. Use a mild soap or detergent solution and a damp cloth to clean 

the relay chassis.

Be careful cleaning the front and rear panels because a 
permanent plastic sheet covers each panel; do not use abrasive 
materials, polishing compounds, or harsh chemical solvents 
(such as xylene or acetone) on any relay surface.

Step 2. Allow the relay to air dry, or wipe dry with a soft dry cloth. 

Verify Relay 
Configuration

When you first inspect the relay, confirm that the relay power supply voltage 
and nominal ac signal magnitudes are appropriate for your application. 
Examine the serial number label on the relay rear panel; 

Figure 4.1

 shows a 

sample rear-panel serial number label.

Figure 4.1

SEL-421 Serial Number Label

Figure 4.1

 shows a serial number label for an SEL-421 with additional I/O in a 

5U horizontal chassis. This example serial number label is for a 5 A-per-phase 
secondary current transformer input relay. For information on CT and PT 
inputs, see 

Secondary Circuits on page U.2.4

.

The serial number label does not list power system phase rotation and 
frequency ratings, because you can use relay settings to configure these 
parameters. The factory defaults are ABC phase rotation and 60 Hz nominal 
frequency. See 

Making Settings Changes: Initial Global Settings on 

page U.4.17

 for details on setting these parameters.

The power supply specification in 

Figure 4.1

 indicates that this relay is 

equipped with a power supply that accepts a nominal 48/125 Vdc input. This 
power supply also accepts a 120 Vac input. Other power supply options 
include nominal 24/48 Vdc and 125/250 Vdc power supplies. The 125/250 
Vdc power supply also accepts a 120/230 Vac input. Refer to the serial 
number label affixed to the back of your relay to determine the power supply 
voltage you should apply to the relay power supply input terminals. As this
