Section 3: PC Software

Installing the Computer Software

Provides system requirements and steps for successfully installing the ACSELERATOR QuickSet software on a computer.

Section 4: Metering

Four-Quadrant VAR Metering

Explains how the SEL-734 calculates four-quadrant voltampere reactive (VAR) values and displays them in four quadrants.

Demand Metering

Explains the three types of demand metering (Thermal, Rolling, Block) and the values for which the SEL-734 provides demand and peak demand metering.

Section 5: Time-of-Use

TOU Setup

Guides users through enabling TOU metering and establishing TOU configuration using the Setup tab, including total calculation and self-read options.

Section 6: Power Quality and Event Analysis

Sequential Events Recorder (SER) Report

Details how the SER report captures changes of state for elements and meter word bits, including trigger settings and memory management.

Sag/Swell/Interruption (SSI) Report

Explains the SSI report, which captures voltage disturbances using an adaptive sampling rate algorithm, including VSSI settings and initialization criteria.

Section 7: Time-Synchronized Measurements

Meter Configuration for High-Accuracy Timekeeping

Guides users on connecting high-accuracy time-keeping devices like GPS receivers with IRIG-B signals for accurate time synchronization.

Synchrophasor Measurements

Details synchronized phasor measurement, its system requirements, basic connections, specifications, and settings for real-time monitoring and system optimization.

Section 8: Logic

Section 9: Settings

Settings Changes Via the Serial Port

Details how to change specific settings via the serial port using the SET command, including editing keystrokes and approval process.

SET Command

Details settings accessible via the SET command, including identifier labels, enable settings, transformer/line losses, voltage sag/swell, and demand metering settings.

SET L Command

Explains settings related to SELOGIC control equations, including latches, variables, timers, math variables, counters, and output contacts.

SET G Command

Covers global settings like phase rotation, date format, energy cut-off angle, ASCII report settings, synchronized phasors, and optoisolated input timers.

SET R Command

Details settings for sequential events reports, event reports, and load profile reports, enabling configuration of triggers, sample rates, and recorders.

SET P Command

Covers protocol settings for various interfaces (SEL, LMD, DNP, MOD, etc.), including Ethernet port settings and synchronized phasor measurement settings.

Section 10: Communications

Section 11: Front-Panel Operation

Front-Panel Security
