8. Protections

8.1 General

8.1.1 General
The protections are all of the definite time type, i.e. a setpoint and time is selected.
If the function is e.g. overvoltage, the timer will be activated if the setpoint is exceeded. If the voltage value
falls below the setpoint value before the timer runs out, then the timer will be stopped and reset.

When the timer runs out, the output is activated. The total delay will be the delay setting + the reaction time.
When parameterising the DEIF controller, the measuring class of the controller and an ade-
quate "safety" margin has to be taken into consideration.
An example:
A power generation system must not reconnect to a network when the voltage is 85% of Un
+/-0% < U < 110% +/-0%. In order to ensure reconnection within this interval, a control unit's
tolerance/accuracy (Class 1 of the measuring range) has to be taken into consideration. It is
recommended to set a control unit's setting range 1-2% higher/lower than the actual setpoint
if the tolerance of the interval is +/-0% to ensure that the power system does not reconnect
outside the interval.
Phase-phase voltage trip
The voltage alarms are working based on phase-phase measurements. It is not possible to select phase-neu-
tral measurements.
The overcurrent level is limited to 200% of the nominal current. Therefore it cannot be consid-
ered as a short-circuit protection.
