5 SETTINGS
This element responds to abnormal voltage. Separate thresholds are provided for low and high voltage. In terms of signal-
ing its operation, the element does not differentiate between the undervoltage and overvoltage events. The trigger
responds to the phase voltage signal of the phasor measurement unit (PMU) source. All voltage channels (A, B, and C or
AB, BC, and CA) are processed independently and can trigger the recorder. A minimum voltage supervision of 0.1 pu is
implemented to prevent pickup on a de-energized circuit, similarly to the undervoltage protection element.
• PMU 1 VOLT TRIGGER LOW-VOLT: This setting specifies the low threshold for the abnormal voltage trigger, in per-
unit of the PMU source. 1 pu is a nominal voltage value defined as the nominal secondary voltage times VT ratio. The
comparator applies a 1% hysteresis.
• PMU 1 VOLT TRIGGER HIGH-VOLT: This setting specifies the high threshold for the abnormal voltage trigger, in per-
unit of the PMU source. 1 pu is a nominal voltage value defined as the nominal secondary voltage times VT ratio. The
comparator applies a 1% hysteresis.
• PMU 1 VOLT TRIGGER PKP TIME: This setting can bused to filter out spurious conditions and avoid unnecessary
triggering of the recorder.
• PMU 1 VOLT TRIGGER DPO TIME: This setting can be used to extend the trigger after the situation returned to nor-
mal. This setting is of particular importance when using the recorder in the forced mode (recording as long as the trig-
gering condition is asserted).

This element responds to elevated current. The trigger responds to the phase current signal of the phasor measurement
unit (PMU) source. All current channel (A, B, and C) are processed independently and could trigger the recorder.
