13.3.3.8 Displacement Power Factor cosφ via Standard Signal: PFCnstAnIn Mode
The reactive power setpoint is set at the input terminals for the setpoints via an analog signal. This is usually
implemented by a ripple control signal. The analog value is converted into a displacement power factor cos φ. The
electrical current strength of the connected signal determines the setpoint. The analog measured values must be
between 4mAand19mA. If the analog signal is less than 2mA, an error message will be displayed in the
instantaneous value Q‑VArModFailStt.
Signal Power limit Description
< 2 mA Last valid mean value or 0kVAr after
restart
Signal is in the invalid range.
2mA to 4mA
PFAbsMin/underexcited
The maximum amount of negatively excited reactive
power is fed in.
4 mA
PFAbsMin/underexcited
Start point of the characteristic curve
The maximum amount of negatively excited reactive
power is fed in.
11.5 mA 0 kVAr Zero-crossing of the characteristic curve
No reactive power is fed in.
> 19 mA
PFAbsMin / overexcited
End point of the characteristic curve
The maximum amount of positively excited reactive
power is fed in.
The analog value is converted into a setpoint for the displacement power factor cos φ. Here, the parameter PFAbsMin
is the starting and end point of the linear characteristic curve.
