4.5.9.3 Functionality
The voltage vector shift protection function VVSPPAM, also known as vector surge
or delta phi function, measures continuously the duration of a voltage cycle. At the
instance of islanding, the duration of measured voltage cycle becomes shorter or
longer than the previous one, that is, the measured voltage cycle shifts with time.
This shifting of voltage is measured in terms of phase angle. VVSPPAM issues an
instantaneous trip when the shift in voltage vector exceeds the set value.
VVSPPAM can be blocked with BLOCK input. Blocking resets timers and outputs.
4.5.9.4 Analog channel configuration
VVSPPAM has one analog group input which must be properly configured.
