After a settable time (5-100 s), this malfunction is signalled as
„Fail I balance“
(no. 163).

Voltage Symmetry
During normal system operation the voltages are assumed to be largely symmetrical. The symmetry is moni-
tored in the device by magnitude comparison. The smallest phase voltage is compared to the largest. Asym-
metry is recognized if:
|U
min
| / | U
max
| <
BAL. FACTOR U
as long as | U
max
| >
BALANCE U-LIMIT
Thereby U
max
is the largest of the three phase-to-phase voltages and U
min
the smallest. The symmetry factor
BAL. FACTOR U
(address
2903
) represents the allowable asymmetry of the voltages while the limit value
BALANCE U-LIMIT
(address
2902
) is the lower limit of the operating range of this monitoring (see Figure 2-
204). The resetting ratio is about 97 %.
After a settable time, this malfunction is signaled as
„Fail U balance“
(no. 167).
