SEL-451 Data Sheet
Key Features and Benefits
The SEL-451-5 Protection, Automation, and Bay Con-
trol System integrates bay control for breakers and dis-
connect switches with full automation and protection in
one device.
➤
Protection.
Customize distribution protection with
multiple instantaneous and time-overcurrent
elements with SEL
OGIC
®
control equations. Best
Choice Ground Directional Element
®
logic
optimizes directional element performance and
eliminates the need for many directional settings.
Provide comprehensive protection for two breakers
with one relay.
➤
Commissioning.
Rapidly commission your Bay
Control with preconfigured bay arrangements.
Choose among different bus configurations,
including single- and dual-busbar, transfer bus, tie
breaker, breaker-and-a-half, ring-bus, double-
bus/double-breaker, and source transfer
configurations. These bus arrangements allow easy
status and control of as many as ten disconnect
switches and two breakers. Additional user-
selectable bay types are available via
AC

➤
Automation.
Take advantage of enhanced
automation features that include 32 programmable
elements for local control, remote control,
protection latching, and automation latching. Local
metering on the large format front-panel LCD
eliminates the need for separate panel meters.
Serial and Ethernet links efficiently transmit key
information, including metering data, protection
element and control input/output (I/O) status, IEEE
C37.118 Synchrophasors, IEC 61850 Edition 2
GOOSE messages, Sequential Events Recorder
(SER) reports, breaker monitor, relay summary
event reports, and time synchronization. Apply
expanded SEL
OGIC
control equations with math
and comparison functions in control applications.
Incorporate as many as 1000 lines of automation
logic to speed and improve control actions.
➤
Software-Invertible Polarities.
Invert individual
or grouped CT and PT polarities to account for
field wiring or zones of protection changes. CEV
files and all metering and protection logic use the
inverted polarities, whereas COMTRADE event
reports do not use inverted polarities but rather
record signals as applied to the relay.
➤
Synchrophasors.
Make informed load dispatch
decisions based on actual real-time phasor
measurements from SEL-451 Relays across your
power system. Record streaming synchrophasor
data from SEL-451 Relays for system-wide
disturbance recording. Control the power system
using local and remote synchrophasor data.
