Technical data (cont´d) Table 46 Power protection (32)

• Measurement of real or apparent power
• Protection function based on real or apparent power measurement
• Reverse power protection
• Over- and underpower
• Single or three-phase measurement
• Suppression of DC components and harmonics in current and voltage
• Compensation of phase errors in main and input CTs and VTs
Settings:
Power pick-up -0.1 to 1.2 SN in steps of 0.005 PN
Characteristic angle -180° to +180° in steps of 5°
Power factor comp. (Phi) -5° to +5° in steps of 0.1°
Rated power PN 0.5 to 2.5 UN × IN in steps of 0.001 UN × IN
Reset ratio 30% to 170% in steps of 1% of power pick-up
Accuracy of the pick-up setting ±10% of setting or 2% UN × IN
(for protection CTs)
±3% of setting or 0.5% UN × IN
(for core-balance CTs)
