CHAPTER 12

GROUPS 4, 5 AND 6—SET LIMITS AND RELAYS

The EPM 5300P -NL offers a comprehensive limit and set point functionality. The user can program above or below limits for every reading, including %THD. When a voltage or current measurement exceeds a particular value, the set limit is triggered and alerts the user. Each limit can trigger two internal Form C dry contact relays for alarm or secondary protection.

The EPM 5300P offers two set limit points available for each measured function: LM1 and LM2. Each limit

can be set at any desired level. Note: The EPM 5200P does not have limit setting capability.

PHASES

12.1: Trip Relay

The EPM 5300P -NL has two relays. These relays are linked through the program to Set Limits LM1 and LM2. The user can program above or below set limits for every reading. When a measurement exceeds a particular value, the set limit triggers and alerts the user. Each relay is programmed to a separate delay time (see Chp. 10).

12.2: Time Delays & Relay Mode

Time Delay indicates whether a delay exists in the relay changing position. Relay Mode indicates whether the relay will act as a protective switch or not.

NOTE: The Time Delay and Relay Mode are both located in GROUP 0, FUNCTIONS 4 & 5.

THE FOLLOWING GROUPS ALLOW THE USER TO PROGRAM LIMITS AND RELAYS:

GROUP 4: VOLTS/AMPS SET LIMITS / RELAYS

GROUP 4 contains LM1 and LM2 set limit values for voltage and amperage scales. This allows the user to program limits for the four following functions:

1)Volts phase-to-neutral

2)Volts phase-to-phase

3)Amps A, B, C

4)Amps neutral
