27 - Undervoltage Relay (1-ph)


Summary

The under-voltage relay (27-UV) operates when the voltage it monitors falls below a set of threshold values. There are five threshold levels available with this relay. Each level corresponds
to a predefined under-voltage level and a tripping delay time. The operating quantity of the relay can be the RMS value of phase voltage, or the positive, negative or zero sequence of a three-phase voltage signals. The operating quantity can be either in per unit or actual value.

Model overview

The under voltage relay picks up whenever the line or phase voltage drops below the selected settings. A timer is normally used to enable it to ride through momentary sags and thus prevent nuisance tripping. The five-level under-voltage relay characteristics is presented in below figure. For instance, if we use the default values as mentioned above, level 1 voltage is 0.8 pu and tripping time is 1 sec. It means that when the input voltage is lower than 0.8 pu and continues to be lower than 0.8 pu for more than 1 second, the under voltage relay will be asserted. If the voltage is lower than 0.8 pu for less than 1 second, its timer will reset and will not restart until the voltage amplitude reaches the level 1 voltage threshold again. All voltage levels and delay times are tunable parameters.
