PATH: SETPOINTS ÖØ S6 VOLTAGE ELEMENTS ÖØ VOLTS/HERTZ
The Volts/Hertz elements may be used generator and unit transformer protection. They are active as soon as the magni-
tude and frequency of V
ab
is measurable. The alarm element is definite time; the trip element can be definite time or a
curve. Once the V/Hz measurement V
ab
exceeds the pickup level for the specified time, a trip or alarm will occur. The reset
rate is a linear reset time from the threshold of trip and should be set to match cooling characteristics of the protected
equipment. The measurement of V/Hz will be accurate through a frequency range of 5 to 90 Hz. Settings less than 1.00
only apply for special generators such as short circuit testing machines.

The formula for Volts/Hertz Curve 1 is:
where: T = trip time in seconds
D =
VOLTS/HERTZ TRIP DELAY setpoint
V = RMS measurement of Vab
F = frequency of Vab
V
NOM
= generator voltage setpoint
F
S
= generator frequency setpoint
Pickup = VOLTS/HERTZ TRIP PICKUP setpoint
The V/Hz Curve 1 trip curves are shown on the right
for delay settings of 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 seconds.
