There are two general applications which can best utilize under power factor
protection; power-factor control and loss of excitation.
When applying the function for power-factor control, both the start value and the
start reset value should be the same sign (positive/negative) as well as the same
direction (leading/lagging). Additionally, the absolute value of the start reset value
should be greater than or equal to the absolute value of the start value. This allows
the function to properly control any power factor controls within the system.
When applying the function for loss of excitation, both the start value and the start
reset value should be the same sign (positive/negative), but the directions should
be different (leading/lagging). This application is well-suited to protect against
back-spinning. In this case the start reset value will only come into play once the
system provides power in the opposite quadrant of the start value, for example,
lagging PF turns to leading PF.
