Reclosing Relay
Figure 6.5 Reclosing Relay States and General Operation
The reclosing relay is in one (and only one) of these states (listed in Table 6.1)
at any time. When in a given state, the corresponding Relay Word bit asserts to
logical 1, and the LED illuminates. Automatic reclosing only takes place
when the relay is in the Reclose Cycle State.
Lockout State
The reclosing relay goes to the Lockout State if any one of the following
occurs:
➤ The shot counter is equal to or greater than the last shot at time
of reclose initiation (e.g., all automatic reclosing attempts are
unsuccessful—see Figure 6.6).

Condition
The circuit breaker has been closed
for a qualifying reset time. The SEL-351A
is ready to go through an automatic
reclosing sequence in the reclose cycle
state if the circuit breaker trips open
and reclose initiation is successful.
Relay Word bit 79RS = logical 1
Front-panel RS LED illuminated
The SEL-351A automatically recloses the
circuit breaker after each successful
reclose initiation and corresponding set
open interval time.
Relay Word bit 79CY = logical 1
Front-panel CY LED illuminated
All automatic reclosing attempts are
unsuccessful, reclose initiation is unsuccessful,
other lockout conditions occur, or the SEL-351A
powers up. The relay returns to the reset state
after the circuit breaker is closed, the reset
timer times out, and there are no maintained
lockout conditions.
Relay Word bit 79LO = logical 1
Front-panel LO LED illuminated
