Overvoltage Protection with Negative-Sequence Voltage/Positive-
Sequence Voltage
Overview of Functions
The function Overvoltage protection with negative-sequence voltage/positive-sequence voltage is used
to:
•
Monitor the power system and electric machines for voltage unbalances
•
Establish a release criterion of overcurrent protection for unbalanced faults
Voltage unbalances can be caused by various factors:
•
The most common cause is unbalanced load, caused by different consumers in the individual phases, for
example.
•
Voltage unbalance can also be caused by phase failure, for example due to a tripped 1-phase fuse, a
broken conductor, etc.
•
Other causes can include faults in the primary system, for example, at the transformer or in installations
for reactive-power compensation.
Structure of the Function
The Overvoltage protection with negative-sequence voltage/positive-sequence voltage function is used
in protection function groups, which are based on voltage measurement.
The Overvoltage protection with negative-sequence voltage/positive-sequence voltage function comes
factory-set with 2 stages. A maximum of 3 stages can be operated simultaneously in the function. The stages
have an identical structure.
