Under-excitation Limit
The Under-excitation limit (UEL) operates in all modes except FCR mode. UEL
senses the leading VAR input of the generator and limits any further decrease in
excitation to prevent loss of synchronization and the excessive end-iron heating
during parallel operation. UEL operates in the area below the Armature Core
End-iron Heating Limitation curve in the generator capability curve.
The UEL function is not designed to prevent the loss of excitation
TIP
function from operating.
A customizable UEL limiting curve is defined by a piecewise linear curve that is
specified by five points you select. An example is shown in the
Limiting Curve diagram.
When the generator is operating in the area of its characteristic curve below the
UEL curve, the UEL alarm tag UEL_Active = 1. In FCR mode, the UEL limit is
not active although the tag is set. This tag is in the Scheduled Read table.
