8.16.2.3 Undervoltage seal-in
GUID-13BE02D3-1322-4075-859B-617CFF608657 v7
In the case of a generator with a static excitation system, which receives its power from
the generator terminals, the magnitude of a sustained phase short-circuit current
depends on the generator terminal voltage. In case of a nearby multi-phase fault, the
generator terminal voltage may drop to quite low level, for example, less than 25%,
and the generator fault current may consequently fall below the pickup level of the
overcurrent protection. The short-circuit current may drop below the generator rated
current after 0.5...1 s. Also, for generators with an excitation system not fed from the
generator terminals, a fault can occur when the automatic voltage regulator is out of
service. In such cases, to ensure tripping under such conditions, overcurrent protection
with undervoltage seal-in can be used.
To apply the VRPVOC(51V) function, the configuration is done according to figure
94. As seen in the figure, the pickup of the overcurrent stage will enable the
undervoltage stage. Once enabled, the undervoltage stage will start a timer, which
causes function tripping, if the voltage does not recover above the set value. To ensure
a proper reset, the function is blocked two seconds after the trip signal is issued.
