UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual Recommended practices Below, recommendations are given for a number of common network situations. Impedance grounded 3-wire systems 4.6.1 Typical examples: MV distribution networks in a 3-phase, 3-wire network without neutral conductor impedance grounding (Petersen coil with/without resistor) is common. Figure 27 shows the secondary side of the transformer and the grounding impedance.
Digital inputs and outputs The UP-2210R can be equipped with 16 digital inputs and 3 relay outputs. They can be used to record external events to the PQ Secure system or send signals to other equipment in case of a sag/ swell or transient.
The UP-2210R is activated on positive flanks, which means that the trig takes place when the signal changes from a zero value to the upper limit. If you have signals with normally high values, active, you can via the configuration in PQ Online invert the signal to trigger events when the signal drops to zero.

UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual Sags/Swells events The recorder can do a high-speed recording to allow detailed analysis of, for instance, a sag/swell event. The storage time is the total recording length and is set so that the event you want to capture is covered.
UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual Example of sag event: According to IEC 61000-4-30 standard: a sag/dip begins when the voltage on one or more channels is below the trig threshold (level) and ends when the voltage on all measured channels is equal to or above the dip threshold plus the hysteresis voltage.
UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual a) U1-U3 trigs at deviation [% Uref] (4.2.1) A voltage sag (or swell) recording begins when the voltage one of the phases U1-U3 passes the Uref value +/- Figure 70 the trig level as in .
UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual This trig gives you the possibility to trig on earth faults. Earth faults are detected by calculating the sum of the currents. Normally the current sum I1+I2+I3+I4=0. If this is not the case you probably have an earth fault and this trigger starts a recording.
Page 89
UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual a) Switching transients Switching transients are the most common ones in the power system. They have a duration in the magnitude of ca 1/256 cycle or ca 57 us @ 50 Hz. The waveform is compared sample by sample to the previous waveform and whenever there is a deviation between the voltage value in a sample point there is a trig.
Page 90
UNIPOWER UP-2210R/P Hardware installation and configuration manual c) Ultra-fast transients Ultra-fast transients have a duration in the magnitude of ca 650 ns (1/31000 cycle @ 50 Hz or 1/26000 cycle @ 60 Hz) An ultra-fast transient is captured if: Max level exceeds the 4.4.4 trig level setting in Volts. Remember that the in the normal case the max value = voltage RMS *2.
Since the resolution is lower a longer recording can be made. Maximum pre trig is 30 seconds and maximum recording length (including pre trig) is 300 seconds. For typical grid operations Unipower recommends a configuration of 10 seconds pre trig, 120 seconds post trig. Note that appropriate settings might take some trial and error before you find optimal storage length for your system.
