GROUPED PROTECTION ELEMENTS
Neutral overvoltage
270
There are three neutral overvoltage elements available. The neutral overvoltage element
can be used to detect asymmetrical system voltage condition due to a ground fault or to
the loss of one or two phases of the source. The element responds to the system neutral
voltage (3V_0), calculated from the phase voltages. The nominal secondary voltage of the
phase voltage channels entered in the
used when setting the pickup level.
The neutral overvoltage element can provide a time-delayed operating characteristic
versus the applied voltage (initialized from FlexCurves A, B, or C) or be used as a definite
time element. The source assigned to this element must be configured for a phase VT.
VT errors and normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element.
This function requires the VTs to be wye-connected.
Select the Settings > Protection > Elements > Group 1 > Voltage > Neutral OV menu to
open the neutral overvoltage configuration window.
