After
Alarm delay time has elapsed, the corresponding counter value is incremented
based on the magnitude of the unbalance current. If I_AMPL_COMP is less than
1.5 times the set
Alarm value, the counter is incremented by one. Furthermore, if
I_AMPL_COMP is between 1.5 and 2.5 times the set
Alarm value, the counter is
incremented by two and so on.
Normally, the setting
Alarm value is about 0.1 percent lower than the
value of the unbalance current which is caused by one faulty element.
This setting value has to be chosen carefully because a slightly lower
value may lead to a situation where the counters show more failures than
the actual. Too high setting leads to a situation where a fault is not
detected.
The counter values COUNT_BR1_A, COUNT_BR2_A, COUNT_BR1_B, COUNT_BR2_B,
COUNT_BR1_C and COUNT_BR2_C are available in the monitoring data view.
The total number of element failures in double-Y-connected capacitor banks,
FAIL_COUNT, is available in the monitored data view.
The
ALARM
output is activated, when the value of FAIL_COUNT exceeds the setting
Element failure limit.
The counter values can be reset via
CUBPTOC counters which is located under the
Clear menu.
