T he SEL-321-1 Relay is SELs most popular Outstanding protection, performance, and distance relay with thousands of units features at a price practical for all voltage installed worldwide. Designed for EHV, HV, and subtransmission applications, the levels. SEL-321-1 Relay contains all the protective Features and Benefits elements and control logic necessary to protect, monitor, Four independent and reversible zones of phase and ground mho and control any overhead line. The SEL-321-1 Relay distance protectionplus four reversible ground quadrilateral zones. provides outstanding high-resistance fault coverage, phase Directional phase, negative-sequence, and residual overcurrent and ground directional elements, and residual overcurrent protection. Out-of-step blocking and tripping. elements. The versatility of the SEL-321-1 Relay allows it All popular pilot and nonpilot schemes. to be used in a broad variety of applications from simple SELOGIC Control Equations for creating user-defined control schemes. step-distance schemes to complex communications-aided Load-encroachment characteristic for unsurpassed security on heavily single-pole tripping schemes. SEL continues its tradition loaded lines. Six selectable setting groups for bus-tie and adaptive relaying. of cutting-edge innovation in the SEL-321-1 Relay with Series compensation and single-pole trip capabilities are standard. relay-to-relay digital logic communication.

Ordering Options Optimizing Pilot Scheme Performance Using Mirrored Bits Technology The SEL-321-1 Relay is available with standard terminal blocks or with plug-in connectors. The Connectorized Relay provides robust connections and fast SEL Mirrored Bits Technology can dramatically improve t he performance of installation and removal. your pilot protection scheme using a high-speed digital channel. The following Connectorized SEL-321-1 Relays Come With: graphs illustrate total protection tripping times (time required to energize breaker trip coils at both ends of the line) for a pilot scheme using the High-Current Interrupting Output Contacts per IEEE C37.90 Standard SEL-321-1 Relay and SEL Mirrored Bits Technology. 10 A for L/R = 40 ms @ 125 Vdc The first graph shows total protection tripping times (TPTTs) under 12 ms for 10 A for L/R = 20 ms @ 250 Vdc three-phase and phase-to-phase faults at any fault location along the protected line. The SEL-321-2 Relay version is available with all of the features of the powerful SEL-321-1 Relay plus up to five consecutive five-second long event The second graph shows TPTTs under 15 ms for a bolted single-line-to-ground reports. fault and under 25 ms for a single-line-to-ground fault with 65 ohms secondary fault resistance. SEL Mirrored Bits Technology makes traditional pilot communication schemes simpler, faster, less expensive, and more powerful. Additional hardware options for the SEL-321-1 and SEL-321-2 Relays are available.
