Testing Features and Tools
The SEL-421 Relay provides the following features to assist you during relay
testing:
➤
Metering
➤
High-resolution oscillography
➤
Event reports
➤
Event summary reports
➤
SER (Sequential Events Recorder) reports
Certain relay commands are useful in confirming relay operation. The
following commands, for example, aid you in testing the relay:
➤
TAR
➤
PUL
➤
TEST DB
➤
TEST FM
➤
TEST DNP
In addition, the SEL-421 Relay incorporates a low-level test interface where
you can interrupt the connection between the relay input transformers and the
input processing module. Use the low-level test interface to apply reduced-
scale test quantities from the SEL-4000 Relay Test System; you do not need to
use large power amplifiers to perform relay testing.
Test Features
Metering
The metering data show the ac currents and voltages (magnitude and phase
angle) connected to the relay in primary values. In addition, metering shows
many other quantities including the power system frequency (FREQ) and the
voltage input to the station dc battery monitors (Vdc1 and Vdc2). Compare
these quantities against quantities from other devices of known accuracy. The
metering data are available at the serial ports, from the SEL-5030
AC
SEL
ERATOR®
Software Program HMI, and at the front-panel LCD METER
menu. See
MET on page R.8.28 in the Reference Manual
page U.5.11 in the User’s Guide
HMI Meter and Control on page U.3.19 in
, and
Examining Metering Quantities on page U.4.31 in the
for more information.
High-Resolution Oscillography
The SEL-421 Relay takes an unfiltered data snapshot of the power system at
each event trigger or trip. The relay samples power system data at high sample
rates from 1 kHz to 8 kHz. You can use the SEL-5601 Analytic Assistant or
other COMTRADE viewing program to export and view these raw data in a
binary COMTRADE file format. Use high-resolution oscillography to capture
fast power system transients or to examine low frequency anomalies in the
power system. See
Raw Data Oscillography on page A.3.8 in the Applications
for more information.
