Events and registers
The RPW function generates events and registers from the status changes of start, trip and blocked. To
main event buffer is possible to select status “On” or “Off” messages. The RPW function offers four
independent instances which events are segregated for each instance operation.
In the function is available 12 last registers where the triggering event of the function (start, trip or
blocked) is recorded with time stamp and process data values.

5.4.20. Vector jump protection (78)
Distribution systems may include different kind of distributed power generation sources such as wind
farms and diesel/fuel generators. When a fault occurs in the distribution system, it is usually detected
and isolated by the protection system closest to the faulty point, resulting in the shutdown of a part or
whole electrical power system. The remaining distributed generators try to deliver the power to the part
of the distribution system that has been disconnected from the grid, and in most cases an overload
condition can be expected. Under such overload condition, it is normal to have a drop in voltage and
frequency. This overload results in the nal system disconnection of the islanding generator(s).
The disconnection depends in a great deal in the ratio between power generation and demand of the
islanded system. When any power is supplied to a load only from distributed generators, due to the
opening of the main switch, the situation is called isolated island operation or islanded operation of the
electrical distribution network.
The vector jump (or vector shift) protection is suitable to detect most islanding situation and switch off
the mains breaker in order to let the generator supply only loads under their rated power value.
Therefore overload won’t cause any mechanical stress to the generator unit(s).
The vector jump relay should be issued ether on the mains side of the operated breaker or the
islanding generator side. Vector jump function (VJP) is used for instant tripping and has only one
operating instance VJP1. Vector jump function has algorithm which follows the samples of chosen
measured voltages (64samples/cycle). Used reference voltage can be all or any phase- to phase or
phase- to neutral voltage.
