EXAMPLE 4.5 VNOM Setting Calculation for LEA Voltage Inputs
Consider a 10 kV (phase-to-phase) system with a wye-connected LEA sensor
with a ratio of 2500:1 (LEA_R := 2500).
The setting for VNOM would be VNOM := 10000/2500 • 37.5 := 150.0
Low-Energy Analog
(LEA) Voltage Inputs
The SEL-751 can be ordered with different secondary ac input voltage config-
urations—standard voltage inputs rated for 300 V and LEA voltage inputs
rated for 8 V. The LEA voltage inputs are suitable for C37.92 compliant high-
impedance sensors, such as capacitive voltage dividers and resistive voltage
dividers (see Figure 4.1).

Derived LEA Scale for 8 Vac LEA Voltage Inputs and Voltage-Related
Settings
Irrespective of the voltage input option, standard (300 Vac) or LEA (8 Vac),
all the voltage related settings are based at 300 V. For example, the 59 element
pickup range for standard voltage inputs is 2.0–300.0 V and this range will
remain the same for LEA inputs as well. To maintain the same 300 V base
across different voltage options, such as LEA inputs, the relay scales up the
input signal by a factor of 37.5 (300 V/8 V). Likewise, you can scale the volt-
