    SEL-487E | Transformer Relay Protection

    SEL-487E: Transformer Relay Protection

    Protect and monitor transformers with the powerful SEL-487E. It offers up to five three-phase restraint inputs, three independent restricted earth fault (REF) protection elements, and two three-phase voltage inputs, all with synchrophasors. The SEL-487E limits transformer damage by responding to internal fault conditions in less than 1.5 cycles. The relay also helps avoid catastrophic transformer failure by detecting turn-to-turn faults involving as little as 2 percent of the total winding. The SEL-487E includes optional distance elements to provide transformer or line protection. You can minimize commissioning time and eliminate costly errors with included software that recommends matrix compensation settings. Through-fault and thermal monitoring allow you to track transformer wear and schedule maintenance as necessary. Breaker wear monitoring reduces inefficient and costly breaker maintenance, saving time and money. Optional Time-Domain Link (TiDL) technology and SEL Sampled Values (SV) technology using IEC 61850-9-2 transform the way you modernize your substation.
