Overload and Unbalance Alarms
The programmable demand alarm includes alarm points for monitoring phase demand thresholds for phase
overload alarms, and neutral and negative sequence demand thresholds for unbalanced loading alarms.
Alarm points for three-phase power and three-phase reactive power are also included. Each time the current
demand register is updated, the register value is compared to the corresponding demand alarm threshold.
If a threshold is exceeded, the alarm point is set. The Alarm Functions subsection provides more information
about using the programmable alarms reporting function.
Demand alarm thresholds for current are set using the SA-DI (setting alarm, demand current) command.
Table 6-5 summarizes the demand alarm settings.
