Phase Overcurrent Elements
The SEL-387E Relay has many phase overcurrent elements. They all operate based on a
comparison between the phase current directly applied to the winding inputs and the phase
overcurrent setting. The elements that have a P as the third character of the element name
operate when any one of the three-phase currents exceeds the phase current setting threshold.
The elements that have an A, B, or C as the third character in the element name operate based on
that phase current.
Test the instantaneous and time-delayed phase overcurrent elements by applying current to the
inputs and comparing relay operation to the phase overcurrent settings. These tests were
outlined earlier in this section.
