A well known and expertise specialist once said: "The best IED maintenance test is not to do it". He had some good reasons in saying this assertion.

Negative-sequence overcurrent relays can be set much more sensitive than phase overcurrent relays.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=dc203aa7-0552-4bc1-b27d-82e85d7d34d5&file=SEL_Negative-Sequence_Overcurrent_Element_Application_and_Coordination.pdf

Hope this paper helps you.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=a3a89876-d679-4151-96b2-bb810e43aff5&file=Determining_the_Correct_Connection_Compensation.pdf

¿What to do when the fault current is less than load current?, i.e. ¿how do you protect circuits under these conditions?

Mr. Brooke, look for the attached Application Guide for the SEL-279H reclosing relay handling 2 breakers.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9cae5380-3d1f-46c1-8643-42d2ed280196&file=SEL-279H_Application_Guide.pdf

I believe figures in the Schneider Catalogue explain by themselves.

The SEL-311L relay has also 87L and 21P/21G single-pole tripping. Not sure but perhaps you may configure the relay for reclosing purposes as well.

M1337, maybe you can get extra knowledge in reading this paper.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bbef1426-fddc-4fc3-8710-b47e3d542a8a&file=SEL_Considerations_Using_High-Z-87B_or_Low-Z-87B.pdf

MBrooke, you can find among SEL Application Guides that identified with number AG95-29, Dated on 20140611, and authored by Armando Guzman, Jeff Roberts, and Karl Zimmerman, Volume I, entitled "Applying the SEL-321 Relay to Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) Schemes. Read pages from 8...

Mbrooke, do not worry about past times, worry about present, and even future, times.

Phase and Ground Distance Relays may support communications-assisted tripping schemes. If applying this Distance Relay to Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) schemes with the assistance of a communications channel, the relay provides high-speed protection for faults anywhere along the...

I found this SEL paper useful for your needs. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4f4f6acc-69b4-430c-9bcd-91f5076797c6&file=SEL_Today's_Power_Engineering_Shortage_An_Alarming_Problem.pdf

We discovered high resistance faults on 400kV lines when we realized large MW consumption in comparison to MVAR.

Attached you will find the paper "Breaker Failure Philosophies"http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=92f5f65e-0350-4d78-921c-814e2dca54e2&file=SEL_Breaker_Failure_Philosophies.pdf
