Behaviour of the Isolation Unit
3.1 General
information
The ENS26 monitors the mains power supply and prevents uncontrolled
island effects developing in the event of a power failure or the mains be-
ing switched off.
It reacts to fluctuations in:
•
voltage,
•
frequency,
•
impedance.
Note
The default settings can be changed, if necessary. The ENS manufac-
turer must be informed of these requirements, however, prior to con-
figuration.
3.2
Fluctuations in the mains power supply
The threshold values for the mains power supply are set as follows:
