SEL-351A AC/DC Connection Diagrams for Various Applications
A core-balance current transformer is often referred to as a zero-sequence, ground fault, or window current
transformer.
Pass neutral (N) through the core-balance CT only if the neutral is brought out and it is grounded only at the source.
Although automatic reclosing is probably not needed in this example, output contact OUT102 can close the circuit breaker
via initiation from various means (serial port communications, optoisolated input assertion, etc.), with desired
supervision.
For sensitive earth fault (SEF) applications, the SEL-351A should be ordered with channel IN rated at 0.2 A or 0.05 A
nominal. See AC Current Input on page 1.10. See neutral-ground overcurrent element pickup specifications in Section 3:
Overcurrent, Voltage, Synchronism Check, and Frequency Elements. See also the note following Table 4.1.
