NVA100X-D - Manual - 02 - 2016
Underfrequency - 81U
Preface
Four operation thresholds, independently adjustable with adjustable delay are provided.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
Operation and settings
The frequency, acquired from
U
12
,
U
23
,
U
31
phase-to-phase input voltages
[1]
is compared with the
setting values; a start is issued when the frequency goes down the adjustable threshold (START); af-
ter expiry of the associated operate time a trip command is issued; if instead the frequency exceeds
the threshold, the element is restored.
When the frequency value is out of the lock range, it is fi xed to the upper or lower limit
(20 Hz or 60 Hz).
All elements operate with defi nite time characteristic.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting
ON
or
OFF
the
State
parameter inside the
Set \
Profi le A(or B) \ Underfrequency-81U \
f
< Element (

<< Element,

menu.
The underfrequency protection is enabled only when the maximum of the phase-to-neutral input
voltages
U
LMAX
=max(
U
L1
,
U
L2
,
U
L3
) overcomes 0.2
U
n
for a
tfEN
adjustable time.
Setting of the
tfEN
value is available inside the
Set \ Base
menu with “level 1” session.
The trip of f< element may be inhibited by the start of the second, third and/or fourth element (
f
<<,
f
<<<,
f
<<<<) by setting
ON
the Disable

) parameters available inside the
Set \ Pro-
fi le A(or B) \ Underfrequency-81U \ f<< Element
(
f<<< Element,f<<<< Element) \ Setpoints
menus.
Similarly the trip of the:
f<< element may be inhibited by start of the third and/or fourth element (
f
<<< and/or
f
<<<<) by setting
ON
the Disable f<< by start f<<<, start f<<<< (
f<<disbyf<<<, f<<disbyf<<<<
) parameter avail-
able inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Underfrequency-81U \ f<<< Element, (f<<<< Element) \ Setpoints
menus.
f<<< element may be inhibited by start of the fourth element (
f<<<<
) by setting
ON
the Disable f<<<
by start f<<<< (
f<<<disbyf<<<<
) parameter available inside the
Set \ Profi le A(or B) \ Under-
frequency-81U \ f<<<< Element \ Setpoints
menu.
Breaker failure (BF)
All underfrequency elements can produce the Breaker Failure output if the
f<BF, f<<BF,
f<<<BF,
and
f<<<<BF
parameters are set to
ON.
The parameters are available inside the
et \ Profi
le A(or B) \ Underfrequency-81U
\ f<< Element
(
f<<< Element,f<<<< Element) \ Setpoints
menus.
[2]
Note 1 The frequency can also be measured on the three phase-to-phase voltages (calculated vectorially)
Note 2 The common settings concerning the Breaker failure protection are adjustable inside the
Breaker Failure - BF
menu.
