ESS := Y, Other Applications
Set ESS to Y for applications that are not covered under the five default applica-
tions.
Tapped Line
Figure 5.9 illustrates a tapped EHV transmission overhead line. A power trans-
former is located at Substation T along the tapped line. An SEL-421 is located at
all three EHV terminals (Substations S, R, and T). The SEL-421 Relays operate
in a DCB (directional comparison blocking) trip scheme to provide high-speed
clearance for all faults internal to the tapped EHV transmission line. For a com-
plete explanation of this example, see 230 kV Tapped Transmission Line Applica-
tion Example on page 6.170.
Set NUMBK (Number of Breakers in Scheme) to 2 so you can program the auto-
reclosing function and synchronism-check elements to control both of the low-
side circuit breakers.
