SYSTEM SETUP
This element responds to frequency rate of change. Separate thresholds are provided for rising and dropping frequency.
The trigger responds to the rate of change of frequency (df/dt) of the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) source.
PMU 1 df/dt TRIGGER RAISE
(positive df/dt). The comparator applies a 4% hysteresis.
PMU 1 df/dt TRIGGER FALL
(negative df/dt). The comparator applies a 4% hysteresis.
PMU 1 df/dt TRIGGER PKP TIME
PMU 1 df/dt TRIGGER DPO TIME
when using the recorder in the forced mode (recording as long as the triggering condition is asserted).

length of each record is equal to the available memory divided by the content size and number of records. As the number
of records is increased, the available storage for each record is reduced. The relay supports a maximum of 128 records in
either timed or forced mode.
PMU 1 TRIGGER MODE
"Automatic Overwrite," the last record is erased to facilitate new recording, when triggered. Under the "Protected"
selection, the recorder stops creating new records when the entire memory is used up by the old uncleared records.
