specifications. In this context, frequency decrease protection ensures the power sta-
tion’s own demand by disconnecting it from the power system on time. The turbo reg-
ulator then regulates the machine set to nominal speed so that the station's own re-
quirements can be continuously provided at rated frequency.
Under the assumption that apparent power is reduced to the same degree, turbine-
driven generators can, as a rule, be continuously operated down to 95 % of nominal
frequency. However, for inductive consumers, the frequency reduction not only means
greater current consumption but also endangers stable operation. For this reason,
only a short-time frequency reduction down to about 48 Hz (for f
N
= 50 Hz) or 58 Hz
(for f
N
= 60 Hz) is permissible.
A frequency increase can, for example, occur due to a load shedding or malfunction
of the speed regulation (e.g. in an island network). In this way, the frequency increase
protection can, for example, be used as overspeed protection.
Setting example:
Time Delays The time delays T f1 to T f4 entered at addresses 4204, 4207, 4210 and 4213)
allow the frequency stages to be graded. The set times are additional time delays not
including the operating times (measuring time, drop-out time) of the protective func-
tion.
Minimum Voltage Address 4215 Umin is used to set the minimum voltage which if undershot, frequency
protection is blocked. A value of approx. 65 % U
N
is recommended. The parameter
value is based on phase-to-phase voltages. The minimum voltage threshold can be
deactivated by setting this address to 0.
