The undervoltage element supervises (low-voltage check) current based main protection (that is, differential, breaker fail-
ure, end fault, and time overcurrent backup protection). The B90 accepts phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase voltage input
configurations. If the intention is to operate all three phases for any one phase voltage collapse, appropriate FlexLogic™
operand exchanges must occur between the B90s using fiber optic communications (direct inputs and outputs).
The undervoltage element also accepts the neutral voltage (3V0) from an open-corner delta VT arrangement. In this case,
the FlexLogic™ output is inverted to accomplish the 3V0 overvoltage functionality.
Application of the Undervoltage element is beneficial during CT trouble conditions. A low-voltage check prevents malopera-
tion of the main protection until the CT trouble element (differential current alarm) operates. The CT Trouble element is
user-configurable to block selected protection functions indefinitely. Voltage supervision alone does not guarantee security
because a CT trouble may be followed by an external fault causing a low-voltage condition.
Voltage pickup is set in per-unit values. The nominal voltage as entered in the

specifies the minimum voltage required for element operation. This setting discriminates between undervoltage conditions
for energized and de-energized circuits. If the element is used for low-voltage supervision, set this value to zero.
