Power Measurement Conventions
The SEL-701 Relay uses the IEEE convention for power measurement assuming
motor action. The implications of this convention are described by Figure 8.1.
Figure 8.1 Power Measurement Conventions.
In the SEL-701 Relay, reported positive real power and energy are always into the
motor.
