Parameter: 55-n UC Guard
•
Default setting: Enabled
This can be used to block element operation if the current is below the setting in all 3 phases (?). This is
used to avoid nuisance operations at very low levels of current.

Default setting: 0.2 x I
n
(0.2 ⋅ I
rated
)
This defines the minimum current required for the element to operate. This should be set to a level below
which the power factor should not be considered as significant or cannot be measured accurately.
Parameter: VTS Inhibit
•
Default setting: No
The 55-n element can be set to be automatically inhibited when a voltage has been identified as invalid
by the VTS element.
Settings Example
An output is required when any phase load has a power factor below 0.8 lagging for more than 10 seconds.
