ANUAL VERVIEW This instruction manual applies to the SEL-387E Relay. If you are unfamiliar with this relay, we suggest that you read the following sections in the outlined order. Section 1: Introduction and Specifications for an introduction, instruction manual overview, relay functional overview, and specifications.
Figure 1.1: SEL-387E Relay Functional Overview Current Differential Protection The SEL-387E Relay includes independent restrained and unrestrained current differential elements. The restrained element has a dual-slope, variable-percentage restraint characteristic. Use the fifth-harmonic element to prevent relay misoperation during allowable overexcitation conditions.
Restricted Earth Fault Protection The SEL-387E Relay provides sensitive detection of internal ground faults via the Restricted Earth Fault (REF) protection element. The Winding 3 inputs are used for introduction of neutral CT polarizing current. Operating current is derived from the residual current calculated for the protected winding.
Frequency Protection The SEL-387E Relay provides six levels of under-/overfrequency elements. Each element can operate as either an underfrequency or as an overfrequency element, depending on its pickup setting. Should any phase voltage fall below a user-defined value, the relay disables all frequency elements, providing security against loss-of-potential conditions.

Characteristic Operating The SEL-387E Relay has three differential elements (87R-1, 87R-2, and 87R-3). These elements employ Operate (IOP) and Restraint (IRT) quantities that the relay calculates from the winding input currents. Figure 3.1 shows the relay characteristic. You can set the characteristic as either a single-slope, percentage differential characteristic or as a dual-slope, variable-percentage differential characteristic.

Application Description Overexcitation occurs when a transformer magnetic core becomes saturated. When this happens, stray flux is induced in nonlaminated components, causing overheating. In the SEL-387E Relay a volts/hertz element detects overexcitation. The SEL-387E Relay provides a sensitive definite- time volts/hertz element, plus a tripping element with a composite operating time. The relay calculates the present transformer volts/hertz as a percent of nominal, based on the present and nominal voltages and frequencies.

OGIC constructing control equations. In the SEL-387E these variables are of two types: timed variables and latch bits. The variables are processed in the order in which they appear in the Settings Sheets.

(e.g., SCADA, RTU, etc.). Figure 4.4: Traditional Latching Relay The latch bits in the SEL-387E Relay provide latching relay type functions (Figure 4.5). Figure 4.5: Latch Bits in SEL Control Equation Sets OGIC The output of the latch bit logic is a Relay Word bit SnLTm.
The net effect is that the latch bits in the SEL-387E Relay behave exactly like traditional latching relays. Note: Make Latch Bit Settings With Care The latch bit states are stored in nonvolatile memory so they can be retained during power loss, settings change, or active setting group change.
The Relay Word bit NOTALM (not ALARM) is asserted to logical 1, and the ALARM output contact coil is energized, when the SEL-387E Relay is operating correctly. When the serial port command PULSE ALARM (or front-panel CNTRL ALARM) is executed, the NOTALM Relay Word bit momentarily deasserts to logical 0.
ARGETING OGIC The SEL-387E Relay has 16 LEDs on the front panel. One (EN) is dedicated to indication of the relay’s operational condition. Twelve are dedicated to specific targeting functions. Three (LEDA, LEDB, and LEDC) have default targeting logic, but are fully programmable by the user.

Page 144
Figure 4.7: SEL-387E Relay Trip Logic (TRIP1) The logic begins with the assertion of SEL control equation TR1, one of the Group OGIC variables. In our example application Relay Word bits representing three Winding 1 overcurrent elements and the OPE 1 command are used to assert TR1. TR1 directly asserts TRIP1 via the three-input OR gate at the right.
Page 145
At the bottom of Figure 4.7 is an additional OR gate. The four TRIPm Relay Word bits are all inputs to this gate, and the output is another Relay Word bit TRIPL. TRIPL asserts for any trip output. It may be useful for other applications of SEL control equations in the SEL-387E OGIC Relay.

We intend in this manual to explain how SEL control equations OGIC work in general and how we implement these equations in the SEL-387E Relay. Control Equations Fundamental Description OGIC Relay Word bits are the basic building blocks of SEL control equations.
0 or 1. Control Equation Logical Operators OGIC In the SEL-387E Relay, there are six logical operators that can be used in SEL control OGIC equations. These operators exist in a hierarchy, from the highest level operator to be processed to the lowest level operator.
We could set 51P1TC directly to 0. If 51P1TC = 0, the 51P1 element will never operate. This is one way, for example, to temporarily disable the 51P1 for some operational reason. It could be done using the SET command via a serial port from a remote location. 4-24 Control Logic Date Code 20020129 SEL-387E Instruction Manual...

METERING AND MONITORING NTRODUCTION The SEL-387E Relay provides metering information in several report formats, for each of the three three-phase winding current inputs and three voltage inputs, and for the three differential elements.

ATTERY ONITOR Use the station dc battery monitor in the SEL-387E Relay to alarm for undervoltage and overvoltage dc battery conditions and to view how station dc battery voltage fluctuates during tripping, closing, and other dc control functions. The monitor measures station dc battery voltage applied to the rear-panel terminals labeled Z25 (+) and Z26 (–).
REAKER ONITOR The SEL-387E Relay breaker monitoring function captures information on the number of operations and total interrupted current for as many as three breakers. These data are used to estimate the amount of contact wear per pole, based on wear curve information the user derives from breaker manufacturer maintenance curves and enters into the relay.
In order to capture trip information for other Breaker 1 trips initiated by devices other than the SEL-387E Relay, BKMONn must be set to sense these trips. This can be done, for example, by using an input to monitor the trip bus for the given breaker. This is illustrated in Figure 5.4, where IN106 is connected to the Breaker 1 trip bus and asserts for any trip from any source.

COMMANDS NTRODUCTION The SEL-387E Relay is equipped with four serial ports: one EIA-232 port on the front, two EIA-232 ports on the rear, and one EIA-485 port on the rear. Establish communication by connecting a terminal to one of the serial ports with the appropriate cable. Connect computers, modems, protocol converters, printers, an SEL-2020 or an SEL-2030, an SEL-2885, a SCADA serial port, and/or RTUs for local or remote communications.
Cables Connect the SEL-387E Relay to another device using the appropriate cable. The pin definitions for Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 are given on the relay rear panel and detailed in Table 7.1. A drawing of the 9-pin port connector and pin definitions appears in Figure 7.1.
Page 275
* The 5 Vdc serial port jumper must be installed to power the modem using C220. See Section 2: Installation. For example, to connect the SEL-387E Relay Ports 2, 3, or 4 to the 9-pin male connector on a laptop, order cable number C234A, and specify the length needed. To connect the SEL-387E Relay Port 2 to the SEL-2020 Communications Processor that supplies the communication link and the time synchronization signal, order cable number C273A, and specify the length needed.
OMMUNICATIONS ROTOCOL This section explains the serial port communications protocol used by the SEL-387E Relay. You set and operate the SEL-387E Relay via the serial communications ports. Note: In this document, commands you type appear in bold/upper case: STATUS. Keys you press appear in bold/upper case/brackets: <ENTER>.

This section includes discussions on testing philosophies, methods, and tools. It also shows example test procedures for metering, overcurrent elements, differential elements, and harmonic blocking functions.
Communications and Commands. Low-Level Test Interface The SEL-387E Relay has a low-level test interface between the calibrated input module and the separately calibrated processing module. You may test the relay in either of two ways: by applying ac current and voltage signals to the relay inputs or by applying low magnitude ac voltage signals to the low-level test interface.

51Q3T Phase Overcurrent Elements The SEL-387E Relay has many phase overcurrent elements. They all operate based on a comparison between the phase current directly applied to the winding inputs and the phase overcurrent setting. The elements that have a P as the third character of the element name operate when any one of the three-phase currents exceeds the phase current setting threshold.
These tests were outlined earlier in this section. Residual Overcurrent Elements The SEL-387E Relay has many residual overcurrent elements. They all operate based on a comparison between a residual calculation of the three-phase inputs and the residual overcurrent setting. The residual calculation that is performed on the three-phase inputs is as follows:...
Reexecute the same overcurrent test and verify that it does not operate. Combined Overcurrent Elements The SEL-387E Relay has one set of combined overcurrent elements. Set EOCC = Y to enable this set, which uses the sum of currents from Windings 1 and 2. The set has a phase overcurrent and a residual overcurrent element, both of which are inverse-time elements using the same curves as the similar Winding 51 elements.

Transfer" message to enable the SEL-387E Relay to transmit unsolicited binary SER messages. 2. When SER records are triggered in the SEL-387E, the relay responds with an unsolicited binary SER message. If this message has a valid checksum, it must be acknowledged by sending an acknowledge message with the same response number as contained in the original message.
Upon power-up, the SEL-387E Relay disables its own unsolicited transmissions. This function enables the SEL-387E Relay to begin sending unsolicited data to the device which sent the enable message, if the SEL-387E has such data to transfer. The message format for function code 0x01 is shown below.
The function 0x18 is used for the transmission of unsolicited Sequential Events Recorder (SER) data from the SEL-387E Relay. This function code is also passed as data in the “Enable Unsolicited Data Transfer” and the “Disable Unsolicited Data Transfer” messages to indicate which type of unsolicited data should be enabled or disabled.

3.00 VERVIEW Some versions of the SEL-387E family of relays support Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) 3.00 L2 Slave protocol. This includes access to metering data, protection elements (Relay Word), contact I/O, targets, Sequential Events Recorder, breaker monitor, relay summary event reports, settings groups, and time synchronization.
When the SEL-387E decides to transmit on the DNP link, it has to wait if the physical connection is in use. The SEL-387E monitors physical connections by using CTS input (treated as a Data Carrier Detect) and monitoring character receipt.
