5.4.9.1 FORWARD POWER UNIT (32FP)
F650 units incorporate a forward power element with three units, as the rest of protection functions. The 32FP element
produces a trip when exported power exceeds the setpoint value. Monitored power is active power, calculated by the three
phase voltages and currents, and it is considered to be exported, positive active power, the one given in the direction of the
line protected by the relay; in this situation, the angle between secondary voltage and current is lower than 90Âș, according
to the relay wiring diagram.

The snapshot event setpoint enables or disables the snapshot event generation for this unit.
The F650 includes three 32FP elements. Each elements incorporates two stages, the first stage, less critical, is intended to
produce an alarm, the second stage is used for trip. Both levels are set in primary values, for instance: if in general
setpoints we set CT_RATIO to a value of 100, and the same value for PT_RATIO, the base power will be: 100 x 100 =
10.000 W
The block time allows blocking the element operation during a set time after the coupling breaker closure. For this purpose
it is necessary to connect the breaker bay using a 52B type contact. The purpose of this setpoint is to avoid spurious trips
caused by overloads after the breaker closure.
Power calculations depending on the VT connection:
1- WYE VT connection, or only one transformer in phase-to-ground connection:
SETPOINT > PROTECTION ELEMENTS > POWER > FORWARD POWER
FORWARD POWER 1> FORWARD POWER 2 > FORWARD POWER 3
