Voltage Balance
During healthy system operation, a certain balance of the voltages can be assumed. The monitoring of the
measured values in the device checks this balance. The smallest phase-to-phase voltage is compared to the
largest. Imbalance is recognized if
|V

| / | V
max
| < BAL. FACTOR V as long as | V

| > BALANCE V-LIMIT
Where V
max
being the largest of the 3 phase-to-phase voltages and V
min
the smallest. The balance factor BAL.
FACTOR V (address 2903) represents the permitted imbalance of the conductor voltages while the limit value
BALANCE V-LIMIT (address 2902) is the lower limit of the operating range of this monitoring (see Figure 2-
66). The dropout ratio is about 97%.
After a settable time, this disturbance is signaled with „Fail V balance“ (no. 167).
