• Check the settings of this protection function. Adapt•
them, if necessary.
Example: Protection function »81R-Rate of
Change« is con󰊟gured too sensitive and is creating
alarms with high frequency. Change the settings of
this function.
The Waveform Recorder is permanently logging
new records.
The Waveform Recorder ([Operation / Recorders /

number of created Waveform Records. This
number is growing constantly over time. To
observe this phenomenon in PowerPort-E, please
execute a “refresh” (»F5« or »Ctrl«+»F5«).
Check the following issues:
• Check at [Device Para / Recorders / Waveform rec]•
which events (e. g. Protection Alarm) are con󰊟gured
to trigger the Waveform Recorder.
•
Check within the Event Recorder ([Operation /
•
Recorders / Event rec] »Event rec«), which protection
function creates the trigger.
•
Check the settings of this protection function. Adapt
•
them, if necessary.
Example: Protection function »81R-Rate of
Change« is con󰊟gured too sensitive and is creating
alarms with high frequency. Change the settings of
this function.
Alternatively you can also change the trigger source
of the Waveform Recorder. But in general, this is less
advisable.
