PRODUCT SETUP
With the graphical front panel, the language can be changed regardless of the language purchased. That is, all languages
can be used. If you select a language with which you are unfamiliar and want to switch back to English for example, the
menu order remains the same. That is, Settings is always second, Product Setup is always first, Display Properties is always
second, and Language is always first.
The language can be selected also for the front panel in EnerVista under Maintenance > Change Front Panel.
The language of the EnerVista software can be changed under View > Language.

change the duration of flash messages on the display.

during programming or reading of actual values. This setting is not supported on the graphical front panel.
DEFAULT MESSAGE INTENSITY

This setting is not supported on the graphical front panel.

settings are not supported on the graphical front panel.
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL
are very susceptible to noise. Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others prefer the current to
display even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The L90 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes
5
and angles of the measured currents. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This applies to
phase and ground current phasors as well as true RMS values and symmetrical components. The cut-off operation applies
to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by communications protocols. Note that the
cut-off level for the sensitive ground input is 10 times lower that the
samples available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off.
This setting does not affect the 87L metering cutoff, which is constantly at 0.02 pu.
VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL
(at the fractional volt level) can be affected by noise. Some customers prefer these low voltages to be displayed as zero,
while others prefer the voltage to be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The L90
applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level,
it is substituted with zero. This operation applies to phase and auxiliary voltages, and symmetrical components. The cut-off
operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by communications
protocols. Raw samples of the voltages available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off.
The
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL
power cut-off level is calculated using the following equations. For Delta connections:
For Wye connections:
where VT primary = VT secondary × VT ratio and CT primary = CT secondary × CT ratio.
For example, given the following settings:
