5.5 Overfrequency protection (OF-81H)
The overfrequency protection (OF-81H), ANSI 81H permanently monitors the installation
frequency. When the frequency exceeds acceptable limits, either the circuit breaker trips and a
trip alarm is generated, or only an advanced protection alarm is generated.
The frequency of an electrical installation must be maintained within a strict operating range to
limit the risk of damaged caused to the motor loads and sensitive electronic equipment and to
maintain a good performance level of the loads.
Overfrequency protection can be used with generators.
In addition, continuous monitoring of the frequency allows the appropriate action to be
performed to secure the electrical installation, for example load-shedding, switching the power
source, starting a backup generator.
Operating principle
Underfrequency protection allows the frequency to be monitored.
It launches at the end of the activation time delay when the measured frequency reaches the
activation threshold.
