The leading power factor alarm will occur when the test register value becomes more leading than

 

 

the pickup setpoint (such as closer to 0.010) and remains more leading long enough to satisfy the

 

 

pickup delay period. When the value becomes equal to or less leading than the dropout setpoint,

054

Leading Power Factor

that is 1.000, and remains less leading for the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. Both

 

 

the pickup setpoint and the dropout setpoint must be positive values representing leading power

 

 

factor. Enter setpoints as integer values representing power factor in thousandths. For example, to

 

 

define a dropout setpoint of 0.5, enter 500. Delays are in seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

The lagging power factor alarm will occur when the test register value becomes more lagging than

 

 

the pickup setpoint (such as closer to –0.010) and remains more lagging long enough to satisfy the

 

 

pickup delay period. When the value becomes equal to or less lagging than the dropout setpoint,

055

Lagging Power Factor

that is 1.000, and remains less lagging for the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. Both

 

 

the pickup setpoint and the dropout setpoint must be positive values representing lagging power

 

 

factor. Enter setpoints as integer values representing power factor in thousandths. For example, to

 

 

define a dropout setpoint of –0.5, enter 500. Delays are in seconds.

If the test register value exceeds the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup delay period, the

Over Value Alarm

alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register falls below the dropout setpoint long

enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. Pickup and dropout setpoints

 

 

are positive, delays are in hundreds of milliseconds.

 

If the absolute value in the test register exceeds the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup delay

Over Power Alarm

period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register falls below the dropout

setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. Pickup and dropout

 

 

setpoints are positive, delays are in hundreds of milliseconds.

 

If the absolute value in the test register exceeds the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup delay

 

period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register falls below the dropout

Over Reverse Power Alarm

setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. This alarm will only

 

hold true for reverse power conditions. Positive power values will not cause the alarm to occur.

 

Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in hundreds of milliseconds.

 

If the test register value is below the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup delay period, the

Under Value Alarm

alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register rises above the dropout setpoint

long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. Pickup and dropout

 

 

setpoints are positive, delays are in hundreds of milliseconds.

 

If the absolute value in the test register is below the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup delay

Under Power Alarm

period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register rises above the dropout

setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, the alarm will dropout. Pickup and dropout

 

 

setpoints are positive, delays are in hundreds of milliseconds.

 

The phase reversal alarm will occur when ever the phase voltage waveform rotation differs from the

Phase Reversal

default phase rotation. The ABC phase rotation is assumed to be normal. If a CBA normal phase

rotation is normal, the user should reprogram the circuit monitor’s phase rotation ABC to CBA

 

 

phase rotation. The pickup and dropout setpoints and delays for phase reversal do no apply.

 

The phase loss voltage alarm will occur when any one or two phase voltages (but not all) fall to the

 

pickup value and remain at or below the pickup value long enough to satisfy the specified pickup

Phase Loss, Voltage

delay. When all of the phases remain at or above the dropout value for the dropout delay period, or

 

when all of the phases drop below the specified phase loss pickup value, the alarm will dropout.

 

Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.

 

The phase loss current alarm will occur when any one or two phase currents (but not all) fall to the

 

pickup value and remain at or below the pickup value long enough to satisfy the specified pickup

Phase Loss, Current

delay. When all of the phases remain at or above the dropout value for the dropout delay period, or

 

when all of the phases drop below the specified phase loss pickup value, the alarm will dropout.

 

Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in hundreds of milliseconds.
