Troubleshooting: If you are scrolling through the front panel and see "THD = 999%," the manual notes this usually indicates a blown secondary CT fuse or a disconnected neutral reference.
If you don't have time to read the full 400-page manual, look for the Quick Start Guide (often included as a PDF on the shipped CD or available on the SEL website).
This condensed version is perfect for field technicians. It gives you the default IP address (usually 192.168.1.100 or similar), the default username/password, and the basic connection steps. Keep this printed out and taped to the inside of your metering cabinet—it will save you during a frantic commissioning session.

The SEL-735 Revenue Meter is one of the most powerful meters on the market for high-accuracy revenue metering and power quality monitoring. But with that power comes complexity.
Whether you are commissioning your first unit or troubleshooting a complex communications issue, the SEL-735 manual isn't just a reference book—it’s a roadmap to success.
Here are three things I always look for in the manual when working with the 735: Troubleshooting: If you are scrolling through the front
💡 Pro Tip: Don't rely solely on the PDF search function. Taking the time to read through the "Installation" and "Settings" chapters linearly often reveals features you didn't even know the meter had.
To my fellow relay technicians and engineers: When was the last time you had to "RTFM" for an SEL device?

The manual defines the KYZ setting:
Formula from SEL 735 Manual: Pulse Weight (Wh/pulse) = (CTR x PTR) / KYZD
Example: CTR=80, PTR=1, KYZD=1000. Pulse Weight = (80 * 1) / 1000 = 0.08 Wh/pulse. Meaning: Every time the KYZ contact changes state, you have accumulated 0.08 Wh.
Before diving into wiring, you must understand how the manual is organized. Unlike consumer electronics, the SEL manual uses a function-based index.
