Application Examples
Collect Fault Information From Remote Branches
A traditional recloser control or substation circuit breaker must be coordinated
with the other protective devices on a distribution feeder, including fuses on
downstream line segments. On the sample feeder in
Figure 6
, the recloser control
or substation relay cannot distinguish one segment from another.
The SEL-FT50/SEL-FR12 system offers increased visibility to a recloser control
by providing fault status from locations up to 400 m (0.25 miles) with line-of-
sight.
Figure 7
illustrates how this allows the recloser control to see faults on
individual branches, including locations where it is not economically feasible to
install a relay or recloser. Each SEL-FT50 label in
Figure 7
represents three
SEL-FT50 Fault Transmitters, one per phase.

LEDs turned
off.
The SEL-FR12 is not pres-
ently receiving signals
from the previously learned
Unit ID, indicating that an
SEL-FT50 is not harvest-
ing energy during low-
current conditions or an
outage.
The SEL-FR12 has
received signals from the
corresponding Unit ID
within the last minute, indi-
cating that the SEL-FT50
is receiving minimum radio
link active current.
Automatic—learning mode
resets automatically after
the SEL-FR12 turns on.
