By NFM Consulting 1 min read

Key Takeaway

How to install ACSELERATOR Quickset, create a relay settings file, connect to an SEL relay via serial or Ethernet, and navigate the Quickset interface.

Quick Answer

ACSELERATOR Quickset (SEL-5030) is free from selinc.com. Install on Windows, create a settings file for your relay model, and connect via EIA-232 serial (9600 baud default) or Ethernet (Telnet port 23). Default access passwords are "1" (read-only) and "2" (settings change).

Installation

  1. Download from selinc.com (free, no license key)
  2. Install on Windows 10/11
  3. Launch and select relay model for new settings file

Connecting

  • Serial — EIA-232 (DB-9) cable, 9600 baud, front or rear panel port
  • Ethernet — Telnet to relay IP address, port 23
  • USB-to-serial adapter — For PCs without serial ports

Access Levels

  • Level 1 (password "1") — Read-only access (metering, events, status)
  • Level 2 (password "2") — Settings change access
  • Level ACC ("ACC") — Accounting access

Change default passwords during commissioning per NERC CIP requirements.

Interface

Quickset organizes settings by tabs: protection elements (enable/disable, pickup, time delay), communications (DNP3, Modbus, SEL protocol), logic (SELOGIC equations), and monitoring (live metering, relay word bits).
