Inverse-Time Overcurrent Elements
NOTE: In the SEL-421, the time-
overcurrent elements are not
directionally controlled in the internal
logic. Directional control may be
achieved through the use of torque
control settings, as shown in
Section 6: Protection Applications
Examples
. Also refer to
Directionality
on page 5.46
.
Each time-overcurrent element has a torque control SELOGIC equation 51SkTC
(k = 1–3) that enables the element when the equation evaluates to logical 1, and
disables the element when the equation evaluates to logical 0. See Figure 5.66 for
a logic diagram of the time-overcurrent elements, including the torque control input.
The enable setting (E51S) controls how many time-overcurrent elements are
available. For example, if E51S := 1, only 51S1 is processed. The remaining
time-overcurrent elements 51Sk (k = 2–3) are defeated, and the output Relay
Word bits are forced to logical 0.
