 What Is ACSELERATOR QuickSet
Software? (1)
 Settings database with settings templates
 Supports selected SEL relays
 Relay settings rules and interdependencies
 Settings are relay part number and firmware
specific
What Is ACSELERATOR QuickSet
Software? (2)
 Send or read settings from relays
 Human-machine interface (HMI)
 Testing and commissioning aid

Select Relay Model and Z Number
 What Is a Relay Z Number?

 Also called setting version number (SVN)

 Found in the relay firmware identification
string (FID)
 First three digits following a Z in FID
 Three-digit number increments when
firmware version affects settings
 Rules-based setting template used must
match actual relay
 How Do I Find the Relay Z Number?

 Front-panel {STATUS} pushbutton

 Issue STATUS command to relay
 Appendix A of SEL instruction manual (IM)
 IMs available at www.selinc.com
 Appendix A details changes made in each relay
and IM version
 Latest version of relay shown
 Settings – Tip!

If Z number is not known or incorrectly selected

during settings creation, use Convert Utility to
make necessary change.
 Settings – Part Number

 Specify relay part number as closely as possible

 If not available from ordering info, can be found on
“silver sticker” on right-rear of relay
 Rules-based software needs to know if relay has
extra I/O, DNP, etc.
Edit Relay Settings via Settings “Tree”
 Settings Tree

 Click “+” sign to expand tree

 Category headings sometimes contain
settings (e.g., SET 1, line current differential
settings)
 For help press <F1> or Help at menu
Settings Example
Settings – Interdependencies (1)

 E50P is set to 5
 Five phase
instantaneous
overcurrent
element settings
are displayed –
50P1P, 50P2P,
… 50P5P
Settings – Interdependencies (2)

 E50P is changed
to 1
 Press <Enter> or
<Tab>
 Only one element
remains; others
are “grayed out”
Settings – Rules (1)

 Setting value
entered that
violated relay
settings rules
 Offending value
indicated in red;
error message
displayed at
bottom of screen
Settings – Rules (2)
 Invalid Relay Word

description to
database or relay
 Rename, copy, or
delete settings
files
 Do not use relay

Two methods to
create new
database:
 Use Create New
Database button
 Open one that does
not exist –

Data Management – Database Manager
Data Management – Database Manager

 Create a “new” database to facilitate data

export
 Use Copy / Move utility of database
manager to move settings for data export
 Database can contain settings from more
than one type of relay
 Develop management scheme early in
settings development
