Voltage-Based Protection
VAR Function
If the positive or negative reactive power exceeds the appropriate level for
longer than the time delay setting, the relay can issue a warning or trip signal.
The reactive power elements are disabled when the motor is stopped or
starting. Figure 4.15 shows the logic diagram for the VAR elements. These
elements can be used to detect synchronous motor out-of-step or loss-of-field
conditions.
Figure 4.15 Reactive Power (VAR) Element Logic
Refer to Figure 5.3 for the relay power measurement convention.
For relay application on an induction motor, disable the elements by setting
both the negative VAR warn level (NVARAP)) and negative VAR trip level
NVARTP) settings to OFF.
