Principle of frequency supervision Analog circuits The input voltage is galvanically insulated via the input Frequency relay MRF3 protects electrical generators, voltage transformer. The noise signals caused by the consumers or electrical operating equipment in general influence of inductive and capacitive couplings are against over- or underfrequency.

Application example: f The df/dt function of the MRF3 for load shedding is only active as from an adjustable frequency threshold value f . If the measured system frequency drops be- low f , a time counter is started (adjustment value dt in periods).

Parameter for the fault recorder “Test”. 5.5.1 Adjustment of the fault recorder 5.5.5 Pre-trigger time (T The MRF3 is equipped with a fault recorder (see chap- ter 3.1.5). Three parameters can be determined. By the time T it is determined which period of time prior to the trigger occurence should be stored as well.
Additional functions 5.7.1 Setting procedure for blocking the protection functions The blocking function of the MRF3 can be set accord- ing to requirement. By applying the aux. voltage to D8/E8, the functions chosen by the user are blocked. Setting of the parameter should be done as follows: •...
