Major Features and Benefits

The SEL-700G family of protection relays provides unsurpassed protection, integration, and control features in a
flexible, compact, and cost-effective package.
➤ Basic Generator Protection Features (SEL-700G0): Ground differential; sensitive restricted earth fault;
thermal overload; phase, negative-sequence, residual-ground, and neutral-ground overcurrent elements for
backup; residual-ground and neutral-ground time-overcurrent elements; directional residual-ground and neutral-
ground overcurrent elements; current unbalance element; voltage-controlled, voltage-restrained time-overcurrent
element for backup protection; breaker failure protection for three-pole breaker; under- and overvoltage
elements; inverse-time over- and undervoltage elements; loss-of-potential element; volts/hertz or overexcitation
protection; directional power elements; loss-of-field; over- and underfrequency protection elements; off-
frequency time accumulators; rate-of-change-of- frequency elements; vector shift elements for islanding detec-
tion; inadvertent energization protection; RTD protection (requires internal or external SEL-2600 RTD option);
field ground using an SEL-2664 Field Ground Module.
➤ Optional Generator Protection Features (SEL-700G0+, SEL-700G1, SEL-700G1+): Generator synchronism-
check elements; synchronism-check under- and overvoltage elements; inverse-time over- and undervoltage
elements; autosynchronism; synchroscope; backup compensator distance elements; out-of-step elements; vector
shift elements for islanding detection; 100% stator ground protection elements; and dual-slope current differen-
tial protection with harmonic blocking and restraint elements to provide sensitive and secure protection. The
high-security mode provides additional security against CT saturation during external events including external
transformer energization, external faults, etc.
➤ Intertie Protection Features (SEL-700GT): Phase, negative-sequence, and residual-ground overcurrent
elements for overcurrent, time-overcurrent, and directional overcurrent protection; breaker failure protection for
three-pole breaker; under- and overvoltage elements; inverse-time over- and undervoltage elements; loss-of-
potential element; directional power elements; over- and underfrequency protection elements; rate-of-change-of-
frequency elements; vector shift elements for islanding detection; tie synchronism-check elements; synchroscope; and
RTD protection (requires internal or external SEL-2600 RTD option).
➤ Optional Intertie Protection Features (SEL-700GT+). Addition of basic generator protection features, as
shown above for the SEL-700G0, to create intertie and generator protection. The relay also includes generator
synchronism-check, synchroscope, and autosynchronism functions.
➤ Wind Generator Protection Features (SEL-700GW). The SEL-700GW is configured with two sets of phase,
negative-sequence, and residual-ground overcurrent elements, and phase, negative-sequence, and residual-ground
time-overcurrent elements to provide dual-feeder protection in a multiple wind generator network application. The relay
also includes three-pole breaker failure protection for two breakers.
➤ Generator Monitoring. Monitor ambient and generator winding temperature using optional analog inputs or
RTDs and protect the generator from thermal damage. Use off-frequency time accumulators and protect steam
turbine blades from fatigue failures because of off-frequency vibration.
➤ Operator Controls. Eight programmable front-panel pushbuttons each with two programmable tricolor LEDs
allow for a wide variety of uses, including easy trip and close control and status indications for a breaker. Imple-
ment local and remote operator control schemes using 32 local and 32 remote control bits.
➤ Integrated Web Server. Log in to the built-in web server to view metering and monitoring data and to download
events, Sequential Events Recorder (SER), etc. Use the web server to view relay settings and to perform relay
firmware upgrades.
➤ Relay and Logic Settings Software. ACSELERATOR QuickSet® SEL-5030 Software reduces engineering costs
for relay settings and logic programming. The tools in QuickSet make it easy to develop SELOGIC® control equa-
tions. Use the built-in phasor display to verify proper CT polarity and phasing. Use the synchroscope to watch
the autosynchronism controls.
➤ Metering and Reporting. Built-in metering functions eliminate separately mounted metering devices. Analyze
Sequential Events Recorder (SER) reports and oscillographic event reports for rapid commissioning, testing, and
post-fault diagnostics. Unsolicited SER protocol allows station-wide collection of binary SER messages.
➤ Front-Panel HMI. Navigate the relay HMI using a 2 x 16-character LCD or optional 5-inch, color, 800 x 480-
pixel touchscreen display.

Intertie Standards and Compliance

The SEL-700GT Intertie Protection Relay provides comprehensive multifunction
protection, control, and monitoring for intertie applications as well as intertie
generator applications. The SEL-700GT Relay capabilities meet or exceed the
protection and control requirements specified in the ANSI/IEEE Std 1547-2018,
Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems.
