SEL-351A Relay
Loss-of-Potential, Load Encroachment, and Directional Element Logic
Directional Control for Negative-Sequence and Phase Overcurrent Elements (Not in SEL-351A-1)
has extra internal enable 32QGE, which is used in the
directional element logic that controls the neutral-ground and residual-ground
overcurrent elements (see
).
The settings involved with internal enable 32QE in
(e.g., settings
a2, k2) are explained in
Directional Control Settings (Not in SEL-351A-1) on
Directional Elements
,
, and
If enable setting ELOP = Y or Y1 and a loss-of-potential condition occurs
(Relay Word bit LOP asserts), the negative-sequence voltage-polarized and
positive-sequence voltage-polarized directional elements are disabled (see
and accompanying text for more information on loss-of-
potential.
, that the assertion of internal enable
32QE (for the negative-sequence voltage-polarized directional element)
disables the positive-sequence voltage-polarized directional element. The
negative-sequence voltage-polarized directional element has priority over the
positive-sequence voltage-polarized directional elements in controlling the
phase overcurrent elements. The negative-sequence voltage-polarized
directional element operates for unbalanced faults while the positive-sequence
voltage-polarized directional element operates for three-phase faults.
that the assertion of ZLOAD disables the positive-
sequence voltage-polarized directional element. ZLOAD asserts when the
relay is operating in a user-defined load region (see
).
Directional Element
Routing
and
The directional element outputs are routed to the forward (Relay Word bits
32QF and 32PF) and reverse (Relay Word bits 32QR and 32PR) logic points
and then on to the direction forward/reverse logic in
and
.
Loss-of-Potential
Note if
both
the following are true:
➤
Enable setting ELOP = Y
➤
A loss-of-potential condition occurs (Relay Word bit LOP
asserts)
then the forward logic points (Relay Word bits 32QF and 32PF) assert to
logical 1, thus, enabling the negative-sequence and phase overcurrent
elements that are set direction forward (with settings DIR1 = F, DIR2 = F,
etc.). These direction-forward overcurrent elements effectively become
nondirectional and provide overcurrent protection during a loss-of-potential
condition.
As detailed previously (in
), voltage-based
directional elements are disabled during a loss-of-potential condition. Thus,
the overcurrent elements controlled by these voltage-based directional
elements are also disabled. But this disable condition is overridden for the
overcurrent elements set direction forward if setting ELOP = Y.
