2.1 General safety instructions Part of the device documentation in addition to this manual is the enclosed "Safety in- structions for Bender products". Read the operating manual before starting to install, connect and commission the device. After successful commissioning, keep the man- ual within easy reach for future reference.
2.4 Intended use The VMD460-NA voltage and frequency monitoring relay is used for network and sys- tem protection (NS protection) of CHP plants, wind power stations, hydroelectric power stations and photovoltaic systems feeding power into the network. If inadmissible volt- age and frequency values occur on the supply side, the VMD460-NA disconnects the generating plant from the public network by means of the interface switch.
Monitoring of different system types: 1AC, 3AC, 3NAC The VMD460-NA is able to monitor different system types (1AC, 3AC, 3NAC). The system type is defined via the "Coupling" parameter. In addition, the nominal system voltage is set via the "U "...
As soon as at least one of the activated protective or monitoring functions has tripped, the VMD460-NA issues a disconnection command via contacts K1 and K2 to the con- nected interface switches. First K1 and then K2 are tripped with a delay of 50 ms.
Menu: 3. Settings -> 4. df/dt ->: 6. t (ON) If the VMD460-NA has been disconnected due to a df/dt detection, it reconnects after the separate delay time for connection t has elapsed. If t is set to "off", reconnec-...
If the measured value exceeds the response value, the protective function is reset. The measured value is equal to the instantaneous value. 3.4.2 Frequency protection functions f<, f<<, f>> and f> The following frequency protection functions are implemented in the VMD460-NA: • Frequency increase protection f>, f>> •...
Functional description 3.4.3 Islanding detection df/dt (ROCOF), vector shift detection The VMD460-NA uses a passive method for islanding detection. The following methods are available: • Three-phase voltage monitoring, refer to voltage protection functions • Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) df/dt •...
Functional description The vector shift detection detects phase displacements (vector shift) in the network voltage. if the ° measured value exceeds the response value, the protective function is tripped. After successful connection, the vector shift detection is blocked or suppressed for the duration of the delay time t , so that transient phenomena caused by connec- (START-UP)
A remote trip signal can be connected to the RTG1 and RTG contacts for remote discon- nection, e.g. via a ripple-control receiver. If a remote trip signal is applied to the RTG1 and RTG contacts, the VMD460-NA trips re- lay K1 (and if necessary K2) after ≤ 50 ms and the alarm LEDs light up.
Automatic self test The device runs a continuous self test during which internal malfunctions are detected and shown on the display as error codes. As soon as the VMD460-NA detects an internal malfunction, it issues a disconnection command. 3.5 Other functions 3.5.1...
U< off U<< 3.5.2 Protection against unauthorised access - sealable enclosure The VMD460-NA can be sealed to prevent or detect unauthorised access. 3.5.3 Reset device to factory settings Menu: 4. System -> 12. Factory settings Via this menu, the device can be reset to the factory settings.
• Devices damaged in transit must not be used. If a device has sustained damage, please contact Bender. Details of who to contact are indicated on the delivery document. • When storing the devices in an environment where the temperature is wintry and cold: Leave the devices to stand for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature before connecting the power supply.
The length of the connecting cable of the device connections DG1/2, D1, D2, DG3/4, D3, D4, RTG and RT1 is to be limited to 3 m. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the VMD460-NA after a pow- er failure, an external UPS is to be used.

RT1 and RTG remain connected and that relay K4 is de-energised. If at any time the VMD460-NA is triggered, the connection of RT1 and RTG is terminated and the device remains in the alarm state until it is released again by the ripple-control receiver.
