Through-Fault Event
Monitor (SEL-387-5
and SEL-387-6)
Through faults are a major cause of transformer damage and failure. Fault
currents cause cumulative mechanical damage by displacing transformer
windings every time a fault occurs. Thermal stress from fault currents
damages insulation. The SEL-387-5 and the SEL-387-6 provide a through-
fault event monitor to gather fault current level, duration, and date/time for
each through fault. The monitor performs a simple I
2
t calculation and
cumulatively stores calculation results for each phase. Use these through-fault
event data to schedule proactive maintenance for transformers and to help
justify possible system enhancements to mitigate through faults.
Programmable
Optoisolated Inputs
and Output Contacts
The SEL-387 is equipped with enhanced SELOGIC
®
control equations that
allow you to design a custom tripping or control scheme. SEL
OGIC control
equation functions include independent timers, tripping, event report
triggering, and relay output contact control.
