Differential Element
In the SEL-487E, the phase differential elements employ
operate (IOPn, where n = A, B, C) and restraint (IRTn)
quantities that the relay calculates from the selected wind-
ing input currents. Figure 2 shows the characteristic of
the filtered differential element as a straight line through
the origin of the form:
IOPA (IRTA) = SLPc • IRTA
For operating quantities (IOPA) exceeding the threshold
level O87P and falling in the operate region of Figure 2,
the filtered differential element issues an output. There
are two slope settings, namely Slope 1 (SLP1) and Slope 2
(SLP2). Slope 1 is effective during normal operating
conditions, and Slope 2 is effective when the fault detec-
tion logic detects an external fault condition. In general,
the relay uses filtered and unfiltered (instantaneous) ana-
log quantities in two separate algorithms to form the dif-
