In a motor/generator application, it may be desirable not to trip or alarm on reactive power until the machine is online and
the field has been applied. Therefore, this feature can be blocked until the machine is online and adequate time has expired
during which the field had been applied. From that point forward, the reactive power trip and alarm elements will be active.
A value of zero for the block time indicates that the reactive power protection is active as soon as both current and voltage
are measured regardless of whether the generator is online or offline. Once the 3-phase total reactive power exceeds the
positive or negative level, for the specified delay, a trip or alarm will occur indicating a positive or negative Mvar condition.
The level is programmed in per unit of generator rated Mvar calculated from the rated MVA and rated power factor. The
reactive power elements can be used to detect loss of excitation. If the VT type is selected as "None" or VT fuse loss is
detected, the reactive power protection is disabled. Rated Mvars for the system can be calculated as follows:
For example, given Rated MVA = 100 MVA and Rated Power Factor = 0.85, we have
(EQ 4.25)
