Making Simple Settings Changes
The SEL-421 settings structure makes setting the relay easy and efficient.
Settings are grouped logically, and you do not see relay elements that are not
used in your selected protection scheme.
For example, if you select only three levels of a particular type of overcurrent
protection, the corresponding Level 4 overcurrent element settings do not
appear on the communications terminal screen. Hiding unused elements and
settings that you have not enabled greatly simplifies the task of setting the
SEL-421.
ACSELERATOR QuickSet uses a similar method to focus your attention on the
active settings. Unused relay elements and inactive settings are dimmed
(grayed) in the
ACSELERATOR QuickSet menus. See Section 3: PC Software
for more information on
ACSELERATOR QuickSet.
