6.3.4.6 Overcurrent
Overcurrent is the theoretically determined ratio of the momentary RMS current to the
fundamental current in the capacitor (I
rms
/ I
50Hz,60Hz
). It therefore indicates how great the
proportion of harmonic currents is compared to the fundamental current.
The choke factor p of the power factor correction system is also taken into account
in this theoretical calculation.
The overcurrent in the capacitor can only be computed correctly when the exact
system choke factor is entered. If the system is not detuned, 0 % must be entered.
Alarm limit
1 to 2.00 (increments of 0.01)
6.3.4.7 Zero (dud) stage detection
Alarm for detecting the fall in corrective power of a
capacitor stage from its calibrated value. If the measured
corrective power drops below the set limit, the stage is
excluded from the power factor control process.
Setting range: OFF to 95 % (OFF: In the power factor
correction process, there is no monitoring of stage corrective power.)
Note
If the PQC is calibrated manually, this alarm is automatically deactivated
and the alarm limit set at OFF.
6.3.4.8 THDi
Alarm limit
5 % to 500 % (increments of 1 %)
