Underexcitation (Loss-of-Field) Protection (ANSI 40)

7UM62 Manual
C53000-G1176-C149-3
This feature is set at address
. The following messages and trip
commands are typically assigned:
Note: If very short time delays are selected, dynamic balancing procedures may cause
unwanted operations. For this reason, it is recommended to set time values of 0.05 s
or higher.
Excitation Voltage
Request
The excitation voltage monitoring feature is set to approx. 50 % of the no-load excita-
tion voltage. If the generator is used for phase-shifting, an even lower threshold must
be chosen, depending on the application in had. It should also be noted that normally
a voltage divider is connected between the device and the excitation voltage.
