Flexible Protection Functions
The flexible protection function is applicable for a variety of protection principles. The user can create up to 20
flexible protection functions and configure them according to their function. Each function can be used either
as an autonomous protection function, as an additional protective element of an existing protection function
or as a universal logic, e.g. for monitoring tasks.
Functional Description
General
The function is a combination of a standard protection logic and a characteristic (measured quantity or derived
quantity) that is adjustable via parameters. The characteristics listed in table 2-20 and the derived protection
functions are available.
Please note that with voltage connection type Vab, Vbc or Vab, Vbc, VSyn or Vab, Vbc, Vx (address
213 VT Connect. 3ph) the power values are only available if you have symmetrical voltage conditions
within the network and address 207 Vol. Symmetry is set to YES (Power System Data 1).
