Power Measurement Conventions
The SEL-751 uses the IEEE convention for power measurement. The
implications of this convention are depicted in Figure 5.1.

Metering
The SEL-751 meter data fall into the following categories:
➤ Fundamental metering
➤ Thermal metering: RTD metering (with the external SEL-2600
RTD Module or an internal RTD option)
➤ Energy metering
➤ Maximum and minimum metering
➤ Math variable metering
➤ RMS metering
➤ Analog transducer input metering
➤ Demand and peak demand metering
➤ Synchrophasor metering
➤ Light metering for arc-flash detection (AFD)
➤ Remote analog metering
➤ HIF metering (high-impedance fault progress metering)—
available in relays with the Arc-Sense Technology option for
HIF detection
