Applications
Set ESS to Y for applications that are not covered under the five default
applications.
Tapped Line
Figure 1.9 illustrates a tapped EHV transmission overhead line. A power
transformer is located at Substation T along the tapped line. An SEL-421 is
located at all three EHV terminals (Substations S, R, and T). The SEL-421
relays operate in a DCB (directional comparison blocking) trip scheme to
provide high-speed clearance for all faults internal to the tapped EHV
transmission line. For a complete explanation of this example, see Section 5:
Substation Automatic Restoration in the Applications Handbook.
Set NUMBK (Number of Breakers in Scheme) to 2 so you can program the
auto-reclosing function and synchronism-check elements to control both of
the low-side circuit breakers.
