19 - ROCOF Protections
The ROCOF Protection package can be configured on all models as an additional software
package. It includes:
Function
ROCOF protection protects against rapid frequency variations: if the frequency varies faster than
the control variation f28 set in the Trip unit for a time greater than t28, the protection sends the
TRIP command.
The protection automatically cuts out if the maximum line-to-line voltage value is less than 30 V.
To verify and simulate the trip times based on all the parameters, see:
Protection summary table with the operating characteristics (page 79)
Chart with tripping curve (page 94)
Parameters
Enables/disables protection and availability on menu of the
parameters
Activates/deactivates the open command: if disabled, the alarm
and the lapsing of the protection time are managed only as
information
Defines the maximum permitted frequency fluctuation rate over the
time; if the limit is exceeded, protection is tripped.
The value is expressed as an absolute value (Hz/s) Fn), settable in
a range: 0.4 Hz/s .. 10 Hz/s with 0.2 Hz/s step
Defines whether the protection monitors an increase (Up), a
decrease (Down) or both variations (Up or Down)
This is the trip time of the protection; the value is expressed in
seconds, which are settable in a range:
0.06 s .. 300 s, with 0.01 s step
Constraints, limitations, and additional functions
From the service connector (with Ekip Connect) or with system bus communication it is also
possible to access the block functions, see page70.
