AC Frequency Low

S

This fault indicates that the Utility

Utility grid frequency

 

 

 

grid frequency is below or fell below

 

fell below the allowable

 

 

 

the minimum allowed value of

 

limit

 

 

 

59.3 Hz for greater than 6 cycles.

 

 

 

 

 

This fault is auto-clearing. Once the

 

 

 

 

 

Utility grid frequency has recovered

 

 

 

 

 

within the acceptable operating

 

 

 

 

 

range, the PV100S will qualify the

 

 

 

 

 

value and automatically clear this

 

 

 

 

 

fault and resume normal operation

 

 

 

 

 

after 5 minute delay period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0011

AC Frequency High

S

This fault indicates that the utility

Utility grid frequency

 

 

 

grid frequency is above or rose above

 

rose above the

 

 

 

the maximum allowed value of

 

allowable limit

 

 

 

60.5Hz for greater than 6 cycles. This

 

 

 

 

 

fault is auto-clearing. Once the Utility

 

 

 

 

 

grid frequency has recovered within

 

 

 

 

 

the acceptable operating range, the

 

 

 

 

 

PV100S will qualify the value and

 

 

 

 

 

automatically clear this fault and

 

 

 

 

 

resume normal operation after

 

 

 

 

 

5 minute delay period.
