SEL-351 Instruction Manual
1. A core-balance current transformer is often referred to as a zero-sequence, ground fault, or window current
transformer.
2. Although automatic reclosing is probably not needed in this example, output contact OUT2 can close the circuit
breaker via initiation from various means (serial port communications, optoisolated input assertion, etc.), with
desired supervision.
3. For sensitive earth fault (SEF) applications, the SEL-351 Relay should be ordered with channel IN rated at 0.05 A
nominal. See current input specifications in the General Specifications subsection in Section 1: Introduction and
Specifications. See neutral ground overcurrent element pickup specifications in Section 3: Overcurrent, Voltage,
Synchronism Check, Frequency, and Power Elements.
