The voltage controlled overcurrent function comprises a definite
time overcurrent unit which latches when the undervoltage unit
responds.
The protection is intended for generators and genera-
tor/transformer units, for which a fault current can fall below the
pick-up of the overcurrent protection before it has an opportunity
to trip.
Apart from the influence of a DC component, a decaying AC
component can only occur on a generator, the steady-state fault
current of which is very low because of the large synchronous
reactance X typical of modern generators (see Fig. 3.5.5.1).
d
This function is largely insensitive to DC component and har-
monics.
