SEL-487E-3, -4 Transformer
Protection Relay
Three-Phase Transformer Protection,
Automation, and Control System
Key Features and Benefits
The SEL-487E Transformer Protection Relay provides three-phase differential protection for transformer applications
with as many as six three-phase restraint current inputs. A second three-phase differential element is also supported for
busbar protection.
➤
High-Speed Differential Protection. A two-stage slope adapts automatically to external fault conditions, providing
fast, sensitive, dependable, and secure differential protection, even for CT saturation and heavily distorted waveforms.
Two independent differential zones are available, one of which supports additional features that accommodate
transformer differential protection.
➤
Inrush and Overexcitation Detection. Combined harmonic blocking and restraint features provide maximum
security during transformer magnetizing inrush conditions. Waveshape-based inrush detection addresses inrush
conditions that contain low second and fourth harmonic content.
➤
Turn-to-Turn Winding Fault Protection. Innovative negative-sequence differential elements provide transformer
windings protection from as little as two percent turn-to-turn winding faults.
➤
Restricted Earth Fault Protection. Three independent REF elements provide sensitive protection for faults close
to the winding neutral in grounded wye-connected transformers.
