Synchrophasors
SEL Fast Message Synchrophasor Protocol
Other Settings Not Present
The SEL Fast Message format does not require the following settings: PHNR,
PHFMT, FNR, NUMANA, NUMDSW, TREA1–TREA4, and PMTRIG.
The SEL Fast Message synchrophasor protocol always includes the frequency
information in floating-point representation, and fourteen user-programmable
SEL
OGIC variables PSV51 through PSV64. There are no user-programmable
analog quantities in the SEL Fast Message synchrophasor protocol.
Upgrading Previous SEL-421 Synchrophasor Settings
See Table 7.25 and Table 7.26 for equivalent settings for your new SEL-421
synchrophasor installation.
Global settings PMAPP, PHCOMP, VCOMP, IWCOMP, and IXCOMP are
new settings (there are no equivalent settings in prior SEL-421 firmware
versions) and may be set as needed.

Starting in SEL-421 firmware version R112, if the SEL-421 ALINEI feature is used to select an
alternate line current source, the synchrophasor current measurement data source will not
switch over to the new source.
