Operation

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

the pickup setpoint (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, that is

054

Leading Power Factor

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 hundreds of milliseconds.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

the pickup setpoint (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, that is.

055

Lagging Power Factor

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 hundreds of milliseconds.

The voltage and current swell alarms will occur whenever the continuous rms calculation is above

 

the pickup setpoint and remains above the pickup setpoint for the specified number of cycles. When

Voltage/Current Swell

the continuous rms calculations fall below the dropout setpoint and remain below the setpoint for

 

the specified number of cycles, the alarm will dropout. Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive

 

and delays are in cycles.

 

The voltage and current sag alarms will occur whenever the continuous rms calculation is below

 

the pickup setpoint and remains below the pickup setpoint for the specified number of cycles. When

Voltage/Current Sag

the continuous rms calculations rise above the dropout setpoint and remain above the setpoint for

 

the specified number of cycles, the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive

 

and delays are in cycles.

The digital input transition alarms will occur whenever the digital input changes from off to on. The

Digital Input On

alarm will dropout when the digital input changes back to off from on. The pickup and dropout

 

setpoints and delays do not apply.

Unary

This is a internal signal from the circuit monitor and can be used, for example, to alarm at the end

of an interval or when the circuit monitor is reset. The pickup and dropout delays do not apply.

Logic AND

The AND alarm will occur when all of the combined enabled alarms are true (up to 4). The alarm will dropout when any of the enabled alarms drops out.

Logic NAND

The NAND alarm will occur when any, but not all, or none of the combined enabled alarms are true. The alarm will dropout when all of the enabled alarms drop out, or all are true.

Logic OR

The OR alarm will occur when any of the combined enabled alarms are true (up to 4). The alarm will dropout when all of the enabled alarms are false.

Logic NOR

The NOR alarm will occur when none of the combined enabled alarms are true (up to 4). The alarm will dropout when any of the enabled alarms are true.

Logic XOR

The XOR alarm will occur when only one of the combined enabled alarms is true (up to 4). The alarm will dropout when the enabled alarm drops out or when more than one alarm becomes true.
