Power Through
Knowledge

It is hard to imagine what it would be like to live without electricity

or have unpredictable service as an everyday norm. We live in a
society that expects safe and reliable electric power, yet we are
facing a potential shortage of industry workforce expertise that
could jeopardize the integrity of the power system. Today, as
an industry, we are challenged to find qualified personnel who
understand the design, operation, and maintenance of electric
power systems. Organizations that are short on experienced staff
and do not have formal training programs need application-based
training. SEL University steps up to meet our industry demands
by offering training for power professionals concerned with
protection, control, automation, monitoring, communications,
metering, and management of utility and industrial electric power
systems. To date, over 21,000 technicians, engineers, power system
specialists, and managers have participated in SEL Universitys
wide range of courses specific to the power industry. We look
forward to assisting you with all of your training needs.

SELU addresses the urgent need for power industry workforce

training with the comprehensive family of courses described in
this catalog. These courses are taught by the best instructors in
the industry. Their impressive knowledge is matched only by their
enthusiasm for education.
SELU instructors understand that electric power systems
have changed significantly over the past two or three decades
and operate closer to security limits. Generation is becoming
distributed, variable, and more difficult to dispatch. The power grid
infrastructure is aging, and there is a growing demand for personnel
equipped with mixed skills to support modern power systems.
In addition, the electric power industry is facing the challenge of an
aging workforce. The loss of this historical knowledge jeopardizes
the ability to maintain reliable electric service. Finally, the number of
engineering graduates and skilled workers entering the workforce
may not be enough to replace the imminent number of retirements.
As dean of SELU and on behalf of our instructors, we look forward to
meeting your workforce training needs.

Training Programs
Programs
Many SEL University courses are organized into programs
consisting of one or more tracks. Program tracks are a
recommended sequence for engineers, technicians, and managers
concerned with protection, control, monitoring, and management
of utility and industrial electric power systems. Each program
track begins with power system and protection fundamentals
courses and advances into elective application or testing courses,
depending on the track of your choice.

Engineer Program
The SEL University Protection Program for Engineers consists
of multiple tracks. These tracks are for individuals who want to
specialize in a specific area of protection.

Technician Program
The SEL University Protection Program for Technicians is
designed for those involved in setting, testing, and troubleshooting
protective relays.

Line Current Differential Protection: A Collection of

Technical Papers Representing Modern Solutions
Edited by Hctor J. Altuve, Bogdan Kasztenny, and Normann Fischer
This book addresses the design and application of line current
differential (87L) protection, communications, and fault locating,
from both the protection and communications perspectives. The
book is based on technical papers written by industry experts,
including research and development engineers, field application
engineers, and protection and communications practitioners
from several electric utilities. The book is suitable for protection,
control, communications, and power system engineers, as well as
decision-making personnel at electric utilities and industries.
The papers are grouped in sections that cover the following topics:

Analyzing and Applying Current

Transformers
Stanley E. Zocholl
Current transformers are used throughout
the world as current transducers for
protective relays in industrial, commercial,
and utility applications. Standard ratings and
application guides deal with the steady-state
sine wave behavior of current transformers.
Despite the use of recommended rules
applied to avoid transient saturation, it
always occurs in certain critical relay applications. This book
presents transformer concepts that provide the fundamentals to
understand the nonlinear characteristics, accuracy ratings, and
transient behavior of current transformers.

AC Motor Protection
Stanley E. Zocholl
AC motor protection presents a unique
challenge to facility, maintenance, and
protection engineers. Comprehensive motor
protection requires knowledge of all the
characteristics of the motor in operation.
AC motors, induction or synchronous,
require electrical, mechanical, and
thermal models to determine the motor
characteristics to provide optimized
thermal and fault protection. Written for the professional engineer,
all of the steps necessary to develop this vital information are
included in this concise handbook.
