Figure 9.16 Typical Current Measuring Accuracy
When you use Equation 9.7, you add an error amount related to the nominal
current rating of the relay, I
NOM
. Use just the numeric portion of I
NOM
, either
“5” for a 5 A relay or “1” for a 1 A relay; do not use the unit (A). The errors in
Example 9.11 are very small and qualify the relay as a high-accuracy meter.
Maximum/Minimum
Metering
The relay measures and retains the deviations of the power system since the
last maximum/minimum reset. Knowing these maximum and minimum
quantities can help you operate your power system more effectively in a
variety of ways. For example, you can benefit from maximum/minimum
metering information by using it to track power flow for troubleshooting,
planning future expansion, and scheduling maintenance.
The relay provides maximum/minimum metering for LINE input rms
voltages, rms currents, rms powers, and frequency; it also conveys the
maximum/minimum rms currents for circuit breakers BK1 and BK2, as well
as both dc battery voltage maximums and minimums. The relay also records
the maximum values of the sequence voltages and sequence currents.
Table 9.17 lists these quantities.
