Residual overvoltage - 59N
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable with adjustable delay.
The fi rst one (
U
E
>) may be programmed with defi nite or inverse time, while the second threshold
operates with defi nite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The fi rst threshold trip may be inhibited by start of the second threshold.
Operation and settings
Two measuring criteria of the residual voltage are provided:
Direct
Calculated.
For direct measure the fundamental component of the residual voltage input is used (
U
E
), whereas,
for calculated measure (
U
EC
) the residual voltage comes from a vector sum of three phase voltage
phasors.
The residual voltage (
U
E
or
U
EC
) is compared with the setting values (
U
E
>,
U
E
>>); a start is issued
when the residual voltage overcomes the adjustable threshold (START); after expiry of the associ-
ated operate time (
t
UE
>,
t
UE
>>) a trip command is issued; if instead the voltage drops below the
threshold, the element is restored.
The fi rst threshold (
U
E
>) may be programmed with defi nite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t
=0.5
t
UE
> / [(
U
E
/
U

) - 1] (direct meaure of
U

for VTs input versions) or
t

t
UE
> / [(
U
EC
/
U
E
>

) - 1] (calculated measure of
U
EC
for VTs input versions or ThySensor)

For the inverse time characteristic, following data applies:
The operate time setting is referred to an input voltage equal to 1.5 of the pickup value.
Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1

The fi rst residual overvoltage element can be programmed with defi nite or inverse time character-
istic by setting the
UE> Curve
parameter (
DEFINITE, INVERSE
) available inside the
Set \ Profi le
A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \
UE
> Element \ Setpoints
menu.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting
ON
or
OFF
the
UE> Enable
parameter inside
the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \
UE
> Element \ Setpoints
menu and/or the
State
parameter inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE>> Element \ Defi nite time
.
Selection of the measuring criteria of the residual voltage (direct measure or calculated measure) is
available inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \
Common
confi guration
menu;
The
3Votype59N
parameter may be select as
UE
(direct measure) or
UEC
(calculated measure).
