2.4 Frequency based protections
Overfrequency protection - ANSI code 81H
Overfrequency protection is a function that protects the feeder or other elements of the power system from undesirable
frequencies. It comprises of time-delayed characteristic and block on derivative of frequency with respect to time, which
can be used to prevent operation of breaking element in certain frequency transient conditions.
2.4.1.1 Functionality
Overfrequency protection is a function, used as time
delayed protection. It picks up when measured
frequency
exceeds the selected threshold. The function
can be enabled or disabled through corresponding
menu.
Several protection instances with different settings can
run independently at the same time.
The selection of pickup value, pickup delay as well as
drop-out ratio and drop-out delay helps the user to fine
tune the protection according to the project
specifications.

2.4.1.2 Measurement
Frequency is determined based on healthy analog
acquisition line measurement with priority of phase
voltage measurements first, than phase current
measurements. In addition the healthy line is
considered as a line which value is nearest to U
n
or I
n
.
2.4.1.3 Delays
Function includes following delays explained in Chapter
2.1:
Pickup delay
Trip delay
Drop-out delay
2.4.1.4 Block settings
Pickup of any instance separately of protection can be
individually blocked by:
Any user defined signal [2.6.5].
