Configure ACSELERATOR TEAM® and an

SEL-735 to Retrieve and Report Metering Data Chris Hilling

INTRODUCTION This application guide uses an example to describe how to configure ACSELERATOR TEAM

® SEL-5045 Software and an SEL-735 Power Quality and Revenue Meter to poll and report meter data. ACSELERATOR TEAM is a database-driven software that collects and stores load profile (LDP) metering data and voltage sag, swell, and interruption (VSSI) data from compatible SEL meters.

This application guide is used to do the following:

Configure an SEL-735 to communicate and store LDP and VSSI data.

Use ACSELERATOR QuickSet® SEL-5030 Software for meter communications and data polling.

Report LDP and VSSI data using a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet.

Note that ACSELERATOR TEAM must be installed on the computer prior to using this application guide. Refer to the ACSELERATOR TEAM instruction manual for installation instructions.

OVERVIEW OF REQUIRED SETTINGS Table 1 through Table 6 give example settings used to establish communications between the SEL-735 and the ACSELERATOR TEAM database. These settings are also used as the limits for the VSSI settings group.
