78VS Voltage Vector Shift
Overview of Functions
The function Voltage Vector Shift is used to detect “islanding” or loss of connection between a gener-
ator and the main utility supply. If the detected vector shift is greater than setting on all 3 measured voltages
an output is issued. Operation of the element is instantaneous. The vector shift occurs once and then the
voltage stabilizes so a delayed operation is not applicable. Phase detection by means of zero-crossing meas-
urement is used to maximize speed of operation.
Structure of the Function
The Voltage Vector Shift function has group dependent settings. These settings can be different in
each settings group – group numbers (Gn) 1 to 4.
This function corresponds to the logical node A78VSPPAM* in IEC 61850.
The function requires VT inputs, it monitors the primary system using the 3 phase voltage inputs e.g. VT1/2/3.
NOTE
Each element measures the voltage vector position of Van, Vbn and Vcn. As the phase-neutral voltage is
monitored. This feature can only be used when the CT/VT Config > Phase Voltage Config setting
is selected to Van,Vbn,Vcn or Vab,Vbc,3V0.
