Address
determines the number of out-of-step periods for
characteristic 1 which will lead to trip, i.e.the number of times this characteristic must
have been passed through. For characteristic 1, 1 or 2 passes are normally adequate
as out-of-step conditions with the electrical centre within the power station unit should
not be tolerated too long, and the power swing frequency tends to accelerate during
an out-of-step condition, so that the electrical and dynamic stress of the machine
increases. On the other hand, for out-of-step conditions with the electrical centre being
in the network system a higher number of slip periods can be tolerated, so that
address
can usually be set to 4.
Each time characteristic 1 or 2 is passed through, a holding time set at address
) is started. A detected out-of-step condition is maintained for that time so
that the counter is incremented with the next passing through. When no renewed
pickup occurs within this time, the counters n
1
or n
2
respectively are reset, i.e. the out-
of-step condition is “forgotten”. This time should be set higher that the longest
expected slip period (i.e. lowest slip frequency). Settings between 20 s and 30 s are
good values.
Each time one of the counters n
1
or n
2
is incremented, the holding time is restarted,
and an annunciation “Out-of-step characteristic 1" or “Out-of-step characteristic 2" is
issued. These annunciations disappear after the time which is set at address
. If this time is set higher that the time between two power swings, the
annunciation “Out-of-step characteristic 1(2)” begins with the first out-of-step
detection and ends after the last detected out-of-step detection, prolonged wit the set
time
