Phase Voltage Monitor (PVM) (see page 88)
The phase voltage monitor is designed to protect three-phase
loads from damaging power conditions. A microprocessor-
based voltage and phase sensing circuit constantly monitors
the three-phase voltages to detect harmful power line
conditions. When a harmful condition is detected, its output
relay is deactivated after a specified trip delay (Trip Delay).
The output relay reactivates after power line conditions return
to an acceptable level for a specified amount of time (Restart
Delay). The trip and restart delays prevent nuisance tripping
due to rapidly fluctuating power line conditions.
