PATH: SETPOINTS  S4 ELEMENTS  OVEREXCITATION  VOLTS PER HERTZ 1(2)
The volts per hertz element uses the ratio of the actual measured voltage at the voltage
terminal and the measured system frequency. For example, a measured phases-to-phase
voltage of 120 volts at 60 Hz, results in a ratio of 2 V/Hz. For 115% overload, the setting of
the volts per hertz minimum pickup would be 2.3 V/Hz.
The element has a linear reset characteristic. The reset time can be programmed to match
the cooling characteristic of the protected equipment. The element will fully reset after the
VOLTS-PER-HERTZ RESET value. The volts per hertz function can be used as an
instantaneous element with no intentional delay, as a definite time element, or as an
inverse timed element.
• MINIMUM OPERATING VOLTAGE: Enter the minimum value of voltage (in terms of
nominal VT secondary voltage) required to allow the volts per hertz 1 element to
operate.
• VOLTS-PER-HERTZ 1 PICKUP: Enter the volts per hertz value (in V/Hz) above which the
volts per hertz 1 element will pickup and start the delay timer.
• VOLTS-PER-HERTZ 1 SHAPE: Select the curve shape to be used for the volts per hertz 1
element. The inverse volts per hertz curve shapes are shown below.
• VOLTS-PER-HERTZ 1 DELAY: Enter the time that the volts per hertz value must remain
above the pickup level before the element operates.
• VOLTS-PER-HERTZ 1 RESET: Enter the time that the volts per hertz value must remain
below the pickup level before the element resets.
The curve for the inverse curve 1 shape is derived from the formula:
