Voltage protection

The voltage protection trips in case there is an undervoltage or overvoltage.

The voltage protection is part of a circuit breaker.

 

The voltage protection characteristic can not be chosen. The characteristic always is fixed time.

 

Directional sensitivity of an voltage protection can be defined as:

backward (<), directed away from the branch or element as seen from the node

undirected (<>)

forward (>), directed towards the branch or element as seen from the node

The directional sensitivity can be set at the level of the circuit breaker under tab General. The implementation of the directional sensitivity of the voltage protection is equal to the directional sensitivity of the current protection.
