Synchrophasors
General synchrophasor operation is described in the Section 18: Synchrophasors
in the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual. This section describes charac-
teristics of synchrophasors that are unique to the SEL-421.
The SEL-421 has 6 current channels and 6 voltage channels. Current Terminals
W, X and voltage terminals Y, Z are three-phase channels. The PMU combines
channels W and X to create a pseudo Terminal S.
From these 12 channels, the PMU can measure as many as 20 synchrophasors; 15
phase synchrophasors, and 5 positive-sequence synchrophasors. Synchrophasors
are always in primary, so set the CT and PT ratios in the group settings appropri-
ately. Note that CTRW applies to all the channels in Terminal S.
Table 10.17 shows the voltage synchrophasor name, enable conditions and the PT
ratio used to scale to the Primary values.
Table 10.18 shows the current synchrophasor names, enable conditions, and the
CT ratio used to scale to the Primary values.
Table 10.19 describes the order of synchrophasors inside the data packet when
operating in legacy mode (LEGACY = Y).
