Definition of the Measurands
Mains Voltage Level
• The measurement determines the RMS value of the mains voltage over a 10-period time interval for 50-
Hz distribution systems and over a 12-period time interval for 60-Hz distribution systems. All 10-/12-period
time intervals are measured without interruption and overlapping (the overlapping area excluded, see
Figure 4-1).
Undervoltage of the Mains Voltage
• The basic measurement of the RMS value V
rms
of an undervoltage is the determination of the RMS value
V
rms
(1/2) for each single measuring channel (see Figure 4-2). The limiting value for undervoltages is a
percentage value of Udin.
• The factory setting of the hysteresis is 2 % of Udin. It can be set from 1 % to 6 %.
• In multi-phase systems, all channels are independently synchronized in the zero point of the voltage.
• In 1-phase systems, undervoltage begins when the voltage V
rms
falls below the threshold of the
undervoltage. Undervoltage ends when the voltage V
rms
rises above the threshold value of the
undervoltage plus the hysteresis.
• In multi-phase systems, undervoltage begins when the voltage V
rms
falls below the threshold of the
undervoltage in one or more channels. Undervoltage ends when the voltage V
rms
rises above the
threshold value of the undervoltage plus the hysteresis in all measured channels.
• The undervoltage threshold value and the hysteresis are parameterized according to the measuring task.
• Undervoltage is characterized by the data pair residual voltage (V
res
) and duration (t) :
The residual voltage is the smallest voltage value of V
rms
which is measured in a channel during
undervoltage.
