2.27.1 Operation characteristic
Two elements are provided to detect an out-of-step condition. Figure 2.27-1 shows the operation
principle of the OSTV function. Reference voltage (V
A
) is acquired in IED A at terminal A; and
a corresponding voltage (V
B
) is acquired in IED B at terminal B. Using the telecommunication
1
voltage data at both terminals are provided to the respective opposite terminals. Electrical
center is located at which the respective impedances for respective terminals are equal.

Note: The data is transferred by the function of ‘Communication application’. For more
information, see Chapter
Relay application: Communication application
.
Figure 2.27-2 is the characteristic of the OSTV-1 element. Phasor V
B
will exist in the
second quadrant (α-zone) or the third quadrant (β-zone) if the out-of-step state is appeared.
This is because a reference voltage is obtained at terminal A.
