ACKUP Purpose The following is an example of a possible SEL-321 Relay installation. The example shown is for a 5 A nominal relay. This example shows the steps for setting the relay at Breaker 3 to protect Line 2 in Figure 5.1 between Buses B and C.
Relay Terminal Settings Identifier The SEL-321 Relay has two identifier strings; the Relay Identifier (RELID) and the Terminal Identifier (TRMID). The RELID is typically used to identify the relay or the type of protection scheme. Typical terminal identifiers include an abbreviation of the substation name and line terminal.
The positive- and zero-sequence secondary impedance values should match those calculated for Line 2. All settings for the SEL-321 Relay are in secondary quantities. The primary impedances must be divided by the ratio of the selected potential transformer ratio (PTR) to the current transformer ratio (CTR).
Line 3 or Line 6. In this example, the impedances for Lines 3 and 6 are identical. ZL for Line 2 = 78.03 Ω primary ZL for Line 3 = ZL for Line 6 = 39.12 Ω primary Applications Date Code 20011026 SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual...
The Breaker 4 overreach is equal to the Zone 2 setting minus the line impedance: 93.64 - 78.03 Ω = 15.61 Ω primary Zone 3 Reach = 1.2 ⋅ 15.61 Ω primary ∠84° = 18.73 Ω primary ∠84° Date Code 20011026 Applications SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual...
817 A primary for this fault. To ensure that the 50PP3 element picks up for the calculated fault current, select some current value below 817 A. In this example, the value selected for the 50PP3 setting is 490 A (approximately 60% of the minimum fault current). Applications Date Code 20011026 SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual...
This value for the 50L3 setting may be below load. In this example, the value selected for the 50L3 setting is 260 A (approximately 60% of the minimum fault current). In this example, the value selected for the 50G3 setting is 100 A (approximately 60% of the minimum fault current.) Date Code 20011026 Applications SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual...
Distance Element Setting Calculations All settings for the SEL-321 Relay are in secondary quantities. For example, the Zone 1 phase distance element is set as follows: Calculations: PTR = 2000:1 PTR/CTR = 10 CTR = 200:1 Ω 62 42 primary Zone 1 secondary Ω...
Negative-Sequence Directional Element Settings The SEL-321 Relay uses a unique negative-sequence directional element. The directional element calculates the negative-sequence impedance at the relaying point and determines the fault direction from the magnitude and sign of the calculated negative-sequence impedance. Setting the negative-sequence directional element requires careful fault study analysis. Evaluate unbalanced faults (phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground) for the protected line to determine the strongest negative-sequence source at the relay location.

The sum of these times gives a conservative Z3RBD timer setting of 5 cycles. The SEL-321 Relay includes logic which echoes the received permissive signal back to the remote end after certain conditions are met. This is used in conjunction with the weak infeed logic so that the relay at the strong terminal may trip even if the relay at the weak terminal does not have any protective elements picked up.
50H element can also be used in the unconditional trip logic mask (MTU) to provide rapid clearance of close-in faults. Typical 50H settings are 50% - 70% of three-phase fault duty at the local bus. 5-18 Applications Date Code 20011026 SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual...

EN LED.) 5. Connect a terminal (or computer equipped with terminal emulation software) to the front- panel connector Port 3 of the SEL-321 Relay using an SEL-C234A cable or equivalent (see Communication Cables in this section).
WA0321xZ W0321xJ WA0321xY The other connectors on the connectorized SEL-321 Relay rear panel (power input, voltage inputs, output contacts, etc.) are the same for the old or new models. Only the current transformer shorting connector has changed. Figure 6.10, Figure 6.11, and Figure 6.12 show the rear panels for new models 321xZ and 321xY.
Specifications for complete power supply information. Secondary Circuit Connections The SEL-321 Relay presents a very low burden to the secondary potential and current circuits. It requires three phase, four-wire (wye) potentials (VA, VB, VC, and N) and three currents (IA, IB, IC) from the power system transformer secondaries.
(see Section 3: Communications). Alarm Contact Connection The SEL-321 Relay includes an alarm output contact labeled “ALARM” on the rear panel. At the factory, the alarm contact is configured to be closed for an alarm condition, and open for normal operation. This is a “Form B” contact because it is closed when there is no power. To invert the alarm output to close under normal conditions (“Form-A”), change the soldered jumper...
If no external IRIG-B input signal is applied, the relay will start its clock/calendar at 0:00:00 and 1/1/YY at power up. Where distance between the SEL-321 Relay and the IRIG-B sending device exceeds the cable length recommended for conventional EIA-232 metallic conductor cables, you can use modems to provide isolation and to establish communications to remote locations.
Communication Cables, for additional details and restrictions. Communication Cables Several standard SEL communication cables are available for use with the SEL-321 Relay. See below for some representative pinouts. Using an improper cable can cause numerous problems, so you must be sure to specify the proper cable for the application. To help in this regard, cable selector software is now available.
If electrical interference is a problem, consider using point-to-point fiber-optic modems to provide electrical isolation and noise immunity. We recommend the SEL-2800/2810 Fiber-Optic Transceivers for these applications. The connection between the SEL-321 Relay and the modem is EIA-232. The connection between the remote modem and the remote device is also EIA-232.
Data Flow Control All SEL devices, including the SEL-321 Relay, support XON/XOFF software data flow control. Set RTS/CTS = N to connect an SEL-321 Relay to any SEL device. See the SET P command in Section 3: Communications for details.
Your SEL-321 Relay is equipped with one or two input/output (I/O) boards. Configure the Output Contact Form The SEL-321 Relay I/O boards are shipped from the factory with form A output contacts (except for the alarm contact). You may reconfigure the contacts by desoldering and then resoldering the 20 AWG jumper wire for each contact.
Re-energize the relay and ensure that it powers up as expected. NSTALLATION Before you install the SEL-321 Relay, you should perform the initial checkout procedure found earlier in this section, and set the configuration jumpers according to your installation requirements per the instructions outlined earlier in this section. Install the SEL-321 Relay according to the following step-by-step instructions: Mount the SEL-321 Relay in the desired panel location.

Calculating Overcurrent Element Test Quantities The SEL-321 Relay is equipped with several different types of overcurrent elements. Each has a specific purpose and a slightly different method of testing. The types of overcurrent elements, the signals they operate from, and the elements of that type are listed below.
At the prompt, type Y <ENTER> to accept those settings. Connect output OUT8 to the sense input of your test set, an ohmmeter, or some other contact sensing device. Date Code 20011026 Maintenance and Testing 7-19 SEL-321/321-1 Instruction Manual...
Phase-to-Phase Overcurrent Element: 50PP2 • The SEL-321 Relay uses the 50PP overcurrent elements to supervise operation of the phase mho distance elements. If a phase distance element zone is not enabled by the PMHOZ setting, the 50PP element setting is not displayed and the element cannot pick up.
Negative-Sequence Directional Element The SEL-321 Relay includes a directional element that operates based upon the calculated magnitude and angle of negative-sequence impedance applied to the relay. There are two methods of testing the element. The first, using a single voltage and current, and the second using three voltages and one current.

Ground Mho Distance Elements The SEL-321 Relay includes up to four zones of mho ground distance protection. Enable the number of ground distance zones you would like to apply using the GMHOZ setting. You may set the ground distance elements to reach in the forward or reverse direction. The reach and direction of each zone is independent from the other zones.
Three-Pole Open Logic If significant pole-scatter occurs when a circuit breaker closes, sensitive ground distance elements may operate undesirably due to the unbalanced signals applied. The SEL-321 Relay disables the ground distance elements during Three-Pole Open conditions and for a short, settable time after the breaker closes.
Ground Distance Element Disable Inputs The SEL-321 Relay is equipped with ground distance element disabling inputs, PARA, PARB, and PARC. When a relay input assigned to one of these functions is asserted, the relay disables the ground distance elements associated with that phase. For instance, if Input 4 is assigned to PARA, each time Input 4 is asserted, all of the A-ground distance elements are disabled.

Use the CBADPU setting to determine the ratio of channel down time to the total channel time before the relay element CBAD is asserted. The time used in the calculation are those that are available in the COMM records. See the COMM command in the SEL-321 or SEL-351 manuals for a description of the COMM records.
At 9600 baud, one message is transmitted each 1/2 power system cycle. Message Decoding and Integrity Checks The relay will deassert a relay element bit, ROK for any of the following reasons: · Relay disabled. · not enabled.

Consequently, a counter set to two will further delay a bit by about 1/4 cycle. However, in that same example, a security counter set to two on the SEL-321 Relay will delay a bit by 1/2 cycle, because the SEL-321 Relay is only receiving new messages each 1/4 cycle from the SEL-351 Relay.
The TAR command, front panel targets, and/or the COMM command may be used to monitor the loopback test. Refer to the SEL-321 or SEL-351 manuals for additional information on these commands. Channel Monitoring Based on the results of data checks described above, the relay will collect information regarding the 255 most recent communications errors.
