Training Overview

Training Overview

Transmission lines are essential parts of the power grid, demanding advanced protection systems to maintain reliability and reduce downtime during faults. The SEL 407 relay is a highly advanced device designed for transmission line protection, providing features such as fault detection, distance protection, and communication-assisted strategies.

The SEL 407 Transmission Line Protection: From Basics to Advanced training course explores both the basic and advanced capabilities of the SEL 407 for protecting transmission lines. Participants will gain practical skills in relay configuration, protection strategies, and fault analysis, along with hands-on experience using the SEL 407.

What are the goals?

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the basic principles of transmission line protection and SEL 407 features
  • Configure SEL 407 for various protection schemes
  • Analyze and respond to transmission line faults using SEL 407
  • Implement advanced SEL 407 functionalities for communication-assisted protection
  • Perform relay testing and maintenance to ensure optimal performance
  • Integrate SEL 407 with SCADA and other systems for effective monitoring and control
