Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.
• 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. • Oakwood Ballroom, Hilton

Learn about the latest protection advancements and practical application techniques by joining SEL at our Ninth Annual Technical Seminar. In the morning session, learn about the latest new SEL solutions, including real-time synchrophasor control, transformer monitoring and protection, and Arc-Sense technology for high impedance fault detection. Breakout sessions in the afernoon include industrial protection systems, protection basics, and event analysis. There is no charge for the seminar, and lunch will be provided.

• 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. • Ballroom 1, Hilton

Distribution Substation Protection Examples
(8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Lunch Provided)
This tutorial will cover the settings process for a typical distribution substation, focusing on transformer and bus protection. This tutorial will calculate settings for copmlete transformer protection, reverse interlocking bus protection and low-impedance differential bus protection. Examples include differential setting calculations, estimating CT performance, arc flash mitigation, and appropriate use of restricted ground fault protection for transformers. This tutorial does not cover feeder protection examples, but is an excellent lead-in to the IEEE Guide for Protective Relaying Applications to Distribution Lines seminar.

Generator Protection Fundamentals
(11:45 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Lunch Provided)
This tutorial will cover generator protection fundamentals including review of generator construction and operation, review of generator connections and grounding, discussion of various IEEE standards for protection, exploration of events that have an impact on protection (internal faults, abnormal operating conditions, external faults), protection calculations, tripping considerations and sequential tripping, and tactics to improve immunity to false tripping. This tutorial will explore theory and application of major protection, as well as calculation examples, including primary to secondary and P-Q to R-X plane conversions.
