Transients
Transient voltages are rapid, impulsive transi-
ent oscillation processes in electrical networks.
Transient voltages are not predictable with res-
pect to time and last for a limited period.
Transient voltages are caused by the effects of
lighting, due to switching operations or the trig-
gering of fuses.
• The UMG508 recognizes transients that are
longer than 50µs.
• The UMG508 monitors the voltage measure-
ment inputs on transients.
• Transient monitoring can be set per phase.
• There are two independent criteria for recog-
nizing transients.
• If a transient has been recognized, the wave
shape is saved in a transient recording.
• If a transient has been recognized, the limit
value is automatically increased by 20V, both
in automatic and manual modes. This auto-
matic increase of the limit value fades within
10 minutes.
• If another transient is recognized within the
next 60 seconds, this transient is recorded
with 512 points.
• You can display recorded transients with the
GridVis incident browser.
