Advances in Wireless Protection Sensor Systems

Wednesday, January 10, 2018

 

Jag Bakthavatchalam

SEL

About the Topic

SEL has developed a new technology in Distribution Automation - the FT50 and FR12 system. The new wireless protection sensor system from SEL provides recloser controls and protective relays with the speed and insight to make better tripping decisions that benefit the entire feeder. This presentation will cover some applications of the FT50 and FR12 to make distribution protection better - eg: tailoring the fuse saving and fuse blowing schemes, improving fast bus trip schemes, blocking unnecessary reclosing etc. Time permitting, a live demo can also be performed with the FT50 FR12 and 651R2 system.

About the Speaker

Jag Bakthavatchalam is an Associate Application Engineer- Distribution working out of the Lake Zurich office. Jag joined SEL in August 2015 after graduating with a Master's in Electrical Engineering degree (emphasis on Power Systems) from Missouri University of Science and Technology in May 2015. Prior to that, Jag did his Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering at National Institute of Technology, Trichy, India.
