to either cause a trip or generate an alarm when the voltage drops below a specified
voltage setting for a specified time delay.
•
Permissive Functions
: The undervoltage feature may be used to block the functioning
of external devices by operating an output relay, when the voltage falls below the
specified voltage setting. Note that all internal features that are inhibited by an
undervoltage condition, such as underfrequency and overfrequency, have their own
inhibit functions independent of the undervoltage protection features.
•
Source Transfer Schemes
: In the event of an undervoltage, a transfer signal may be
generated to transfer a load from its normal source to a standby or emergency power
source.
The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have an inverse time delay
characteristic. The undervoltage delay setpoint defines a family of curves as shown below.
The operating time is given by:
Eq. 4
Where:
T = Operating Time
D = Undervoltage Delay setpoint
V = Voltage as a fraction of the nominal VT Secondary Voltage

pu
= Pickup Level
NOTE
NOTE:
At 0% of pickup, the operating time equals the Undervoltage Delay setpoint.

SETPOINTS > S3 PROTECTION > SETPOINT GROUP 1(2) > PHASE UV
PH UV FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Alarm, Latched Alarm, Trip
Default: Disabled
The selection of the Latched Alarm, Alarm, or Trip setting enables the Phase UV function.
The output relay #1 “Trip” will operate if the function is selected as a Trip, and the phase
voltages from the selected “PH UV PHASES” combination are below the PH UV PKP
setting for a time greater than the selected PHASE UV DELAY time. The “ALARM” LED will
not turn on if the phase UV function is set to Trip. The “ALARM” LED will flash upon the UV
operating condition, with the phase UV selected as Alarm, and will self-reset, when this
operating condition clears. If Latched Alarm is selected as a phase UV function, the
“ALARM” LED will flash during the UV condition and will stay “ON” after the condition
clears, until the reset command is initiated. The output relay #1 “Trip” will not operate if
