Features
A Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is a device, which measures the electrical waves on an
electricity grid, using a common time source for synchronization. PMU technology provides phasor
information (both magnitude and phase angle) in real time. A PMU can be a dedicated device, or
the PMU function can be incorporated into a protective relay or other device. Time
synchronization allows synchronized real-time measurements of multiple remote measurement
points on the grid. The advantage of referring phase angle to a global reference time is helpful in
capturing the wide area snap shot of the power system. Effective utilization of this technology is
very useful in getting the real time behavior of the power system. To study the real-time
perfomance of various algorithms developed to improve the system performace, using the real
time simulation facility, few PMUs are made available in the laboratory. Typical specifications of
the various PMUs available in laboratory are furnished below.

 Measurement defined in IEEE C37.118

MENU
 Phasor measurement units (PMU’s) provide information about the voltage and current at point of the

network in the form of phasors.

SEL - 421
SEL-421 Relay is useful for single- and three-pole tripping schemes,
compensated lines, or uncompensated lines. Protect transmission lines
using five zones of phase and ground-distance elements in
communications-assisted schemes, with directional over current backup
protection.

AC Current Inputs 15A continuous @ 2.71VA burden
6 Nos.

AC Voltage Inputs 0-300 L-N @ 0.8VA burden

6 Nos.

Serial communications ports EIA-232

3 Nos.
Fast Messages, DNP3
Speed 300-57600bps

Ethernet communications FTP, Telnet DNP3, LAN/WAN, SNTP, IEC 61850

10/100BASE-T or 100BASE-FX

Synchrophasors IEEE C37.118

50 frames/sec (50Hz)/60 frames/sec (60Hz) max.

SEL - 451
SEL-451 is useful to apply over-current protection for primary and backup,
and three-pole tripping schemes on sub-transmission lines. It can make
settings for up to four shots of automatic breaker reclosing for one or two
circuit breakers, with synchronism and voltage checks to optimize system
restoration. Built-in fault locator is useful to efficiently dispatch line inspection and repair
personnel.
