Phase sequence supervision  

Phase sequence supervision checks the right sequence. The angle has to be at interval (120° 

±

 30°) 

among voltage vectors. The right phase sequence is L1

L2

L3. The LEDs L1, L2 and L3 are red flashing 

at wrong phase sequence. If the voltage is too small (approx. <10% of rated voltage value) at any phase 
then 

EEEE

 is displayed. 

Frequency measurement 

The frequency is measured in one phase. NPU selects the phase where voltage exceeds 10% of rated 
value. If the voltage is not high enough sufficient in any phase then both LEDs 
overfrequency/underfrequency are red flashing. The frequency cannot to be measured. In this case zero 
delayed failure is evaluated.  

Hint: 

Previous error (red LED) indication is cleared when: 

• 

No phase voltage is sufficient for measuring 

• 

Phase sequence error is detected 

Internal watchdog 

To increase the operating safety the internal watchdog and parameters consistency checks are installed. 
Flashing of LED 

ERR

 indicates NPU internal failure.  

Check all adjusted parameters. If ERR is still flashing, send NPU for repair. 

Output Relays 

RE1

 and 

RE4

 are used mainly for proper adjusting and tests of NPU parameters. 

RE2

 and 

RE3

 are used 

mainly for protection.  

 

Relay RE1: 

The relay

 RE1 

opens at any new failure without delay. It closes after the time given by parameter 

B3

Another failure during 

B3

 time has no effect.  

 
Relay RE2: 

The relay

 RE2 

opens at any failure with delay given by active protection (

A8

A10

A14

A18

A20

) see 

table in the Chapter 6 – Displayed Quantities and Parameters. In example on the following drawing it is 
Under voltage delay 

A18

RE2

 opens immediately when Vector shift protection is activated. 

RE2

 closes 

after the time given by parameter 

B4

. The relay doesn’t open (doesn’t indicate a new failure) until all active 

failures are gone. LED ERR copies the state of 

RE2

 
Relay RE3: 

The relay

 RE3 

opens at any failure with delay given by active protection (

A8

A10

A14

A18

A20

) see 

table in the Chapter 6 – Displayed Quantities and Parameters. In example on the following drawing it is 
Under voltage delay 

A18

RE3

 opens immediately when Vector shift protection is activated.

 RE3

 stays 

opened until any failure is active and closes immediately when no failure is active or with delay 

B5

 in the 

case of vector shift protection.  

 
Relay RE4: 

The relay

 RE4 

opens at any failure with delay given by active protection (

A8

A10

A14

A18

A20

) see 

table in the Chapter 6 – Displayed Quantities and Parameters. In example on the following drawing it is 
Under voltage delay 

A18

RE4

 opens immediately when Vector shift protection is activated.

 RE4

 closes 

after the time given by parameter 

B3

. The relay operates similar as 

RE2

, but indicates any new failure.  

This feature is available from software version 1.5 (see parameter 

B10 

to find your software version). 

 

Note:

If there is no power supply, all relays are opened.
