of a blackout. 27 is also used to initiate voltage correction measures, such as insertion of
shunt capacitor banks, to compensate for a reactive load and thereby to increase the
voltage.
27 can be used to disconnect from the network devices, such as electric motors, which are
damaged when subjected to service under low voltage conditions. 27 deals with low
voltage conditions at power system frequency. Low voltage conditions can be caused by:
• Malfunctioning of a voltage regulator or incorrect settings under manual control
(symmetrical voltage decrease)
• Overload (symmetrical voltage decrease)
• Short circuits, often as phase-to-ground faults (unsymmetrical voltage increase).
27 prevents sensitive equipment from running under conditions that could cause
overheating and thus shorten their life time expectancy. In many cases, 27 is a useful
function in circuits for local or remote automation processes in the power system.
