SEL-387E Instruction Manual
For volts/hertz tripping the relay provides a time-integrating element with a settable operating
characteristic. You can set the element to operate as an inverse-time element; a user-defined
curve element (using the SEL-5806 PC Software); a composite element with an inverse-time
characteristic and a definite-time characteristic; or as a dual-level, definite-time element. In any
case, the element provides a linear reset characteristic with a settable reset time. This element
also is supervised by the 24TC torque-control setting.
The volts/hertz tripping element has a percent-travel operating characteristic similar to that
employed by an induction-disk time-overcurrent element. This characteristic coincides well with
the heating effect that overexcitation has on transformer components.
The element compares the three phase voltages and uses the highest of the values for the
volts/hertz magnitude calculations. The relay tracks the frequency over the range 40.1 to 65 Hz,
but only on the A-phase voltage.
Volts/hertz tripping elements are usually used to trip the transformer breaker. Volts/hertz logic is
discussed in the following section. For more detail and for examples of tripping SEL
