CHARACTERISTICS
Undervoltage - 27
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable with adjustable delay.
The fi rst one may be programmed with defi nite or inverse time, while the second threshold operates
with defi nite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The fi rst threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second threshold.
Operation and settings
The fundamental frequency of the input voltages (
U
L1
,
U
L2
,
U
L3
) are utilized.
Each of three voltages compared with the setting values (
U
<,
U
<<). The start and trip logic may be
selected
OR
or
AND
.
With
OR
selection, a start is issued when at least one of the three voltages goes down the adjustable
threshold (START); with
AND
selection, a start is issued when all the three voltages goes down the
adjustable threshold.
After expiry of the associated operate time (
t
U
<,
t
U
<<) a trip command is issued; if instead the volt-
ages drops below the threshold, the element it is restored.
The fi rst threshold (
U
<) may be programmed with defi nite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t
=0.75
t
U<inv
/ [1-(
U
/
U
<
inv
)]
Where:
t
: operate
time
U
<
inv
: threshold
setting
t
U<inv
: operate
time
setting
For the inverse time characteristic, following data applies:
The operate time setting is referred to an input voltage equal to 1/4 of the pickup value.
Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 0.9
U
<
Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
Range where the equation is valid: 0 ≤
U
/
U
<
inv
≤ 0.9
The fi rst undervoltage element can be programmed with defi nite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the
U<Curve
parameter (
DEFINITE, INVERSE
) available inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \
Undervoltage-27 \
U
< Element \ Setpoints
menu.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting
ON
or
OFF
the
U< Enable
parameter inside
the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Undervoltage-27 \
U
< Element \ Setpoints
menu and/or the
State
parameter
inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Undervoltage-27 \
U
<< Element \ Defi nite time
.
The operating logic (AND or OR) is adjustable inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Undervoltage-27 \ Com-
mon confi guration
menu by means the
Logic27
parameter
;
the allowed settings are
OR
(at least
one voltage lower than threshold) or
And
(all three voltage must be lower than threshold).
For application on single-phase networks the AND operating logic must select (all three voltages
must be below the threshold for starting): the
Logic27
parameter must be set as
AND
inside the
Set
\ Profi le A(or B) \ Undervoltage-27 \ Common confi guration
menu.
The fi rst threshold trip (
U
<) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (
U
<<) by setting
ON
the U< Disabling by U<< start (
U<disbyU<<
) parameter available inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \
Undervoltage-27 \ U<< Element \ Setpoints
menu
The user can disable both thresholds from the keyboard. During this command, the output relays set
for trip of U <and / or U << element (with manual or automatic reset, normally energized or de-ener-
gized) are forced to rest state, the display shows the message “Disabled 27” and all LEDs blink until
the end of the command.
