Synchrophasors The SEL-421 can function as a phasor measurement unit
(PMU) at the same time as it provides best-in-class protective
relay functions.
C37.118 message format allows up to eight current and four
voltage synchronized measurements, up to 60 messages per
second (on a 60 Hz nominal power system). Two choices of
filter response, settable angle correction, and choice of
numeric representation makes the data usable for a variety of
synchrophasor applications.
SEL Fast Operate commands are available on the
synchrophasor communications ports, allowing control actions
initiated by the synchrophasor processor.
SEL Fast Message Synchrophasor format is also available,
with up to four current and four voltage synchronized
measurements.
