Relay protection undervoltage load shearing

Protection of motors against voltage sags or detection of abnormally low network voltage to trigger automatic load shedding or source transfer. Works with phase-to-phase voltage (Sepam series 20 and Sepam series 40) or phase-to-neutral voltageThis paper discusses why voltage as well as frequency load shedding may be necessary to prevent major system blackouts. Investigations of recent blackouts [1,3,7] indicate that the root cause of almost all of these major power system disturbances is voltage collapse rather than the underfrequency. Undervoltage protection plays a major role in keeping electrical equipment safe from damage caused by low voltage conditions. A drop in voltage forces these devices to draw higher. Purpose: To establish an integrated and coordinated approach to the design, evaluation, and reliable operation of Undervoltage Load Shedding Programs (UVLS Programs). 3 Undervoltage load shedding. Undervoltage protection is designed to trigger alarm signals or isolation protocols when the voltage in a power system falls below predetermined thresholds.
