Date Code 20020426 Introduction and Specifications 1-15
SEL-351-5, -6, -7 Instruction Manual
Processing Specifications
AC Voltage and
Current Inputs
16 samples per power system cycle, 3 dB low-pass filter cut-off frequency
of 560 Hz.
Digital Filtering
One cycle cosine after low-pass analog filtering.
Net filtering (analog plus digital) rejects dc and all harmonics greater than
the fundamental.
Protection and
Control
Processing
4 times per power system cycle
