6 - ROCOF protections
The ROCOF Protection package is available by default for Ekip G Hi-Touch and configurable in the remaining
models as additional SW package
The protection is described below:
ROCOF Protection
Function
ROCOF protection protects against rapid frequency variations: the protection sends a TRIP command if the
frequency changes faster than control variation f28 set in the unit for longer than t28.

The protection excludes itself if the maximum value of the line-to-line voltage is less than 30 V.
To check and simulate the trip times in relation to all the parameters, please consult:
• summary table of the protections with the operating characteristics (page 80)
• the graph with trip curve (page 95)
Parameters
Parameter Description Default
Enable
Activates/deactivates the protection and its availability in the parameters
menu
OFF
Trip Enable
Activates/deactivates transmission of the open command: if disabled, the
alarm and exceedance of protection time are only managed as information
OFF
Threshold f28
establishes the maximum admissible frequency variation rate over time; the
protection trips if this rate is exceeded.
The value is given as absolute value (Hz/s) Fn) and can be set within the
range: 0.4 Hz/s to 10 Hz/s in 0.2 Hz/s steps
0,6 Hz/s
Trip Direction
Establishes whether the protection monitors an increase (Up), a decrease
(Down) or both variations (Up and Down)
Up or Down
Time f28
This is the trip time of the protection; the value is given in seconds and can
be set within a range: 0.06 s to 300 s, in 0.01 s steps
0,5 s
Limitations and additional functions
The block functions can also be accessed by means of the service connector (via Ekip Connect) or by
connection to the system bus (page 75).
