As indicated in the vector diagram, there is a difference in voltage values at an error situation for the phase-
neutral voltage and the phase-phase voltage.
The table shows the actual measurements at a 10% undervoltage situation in a 400/230 volt system.
Phase-neutral Phase-phase
Nominal voltage 400/230 400/230
Voltage, 10% error 380/207 360/185
The alarm will occur at two different voltage levels, even though the alarm setpoint is 10% in both cases.
Example
The below 400V AC system shows that the phase-neutral voltage must change 20%, when the phase-phase
voltage changes 40 volts (10%).
Example:
U

= 400/230V AC
Error situation:
U

= 360V AC
U

Phase-neutral or phase-phase: both the generator protections and the busbar/mains protec-
tions use the selected voltage.
