FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
— Synchrocheck - 25
Foreword
The synchrocheck function checks that the connection between two grids can be made without
risking the stability of the power system.
The reference voltage is measured upline of the breaker using a capacitive input.
Measurement inputs
The grid voltages measured at the inputs are used:
• V
1
reference voltage, measured by sensors, set to U
L1
, U
L2
or U
L3
in the menu Set \ Base
• V
2
phase voltage measured by the capacitive voltage divider.
Output relays
The synchrocheck function can activate one or more output relays according to the usual assign-
ment criterion.

Operation
The synchrocheck is run between two sections of the system, both of which are powered.
The devices uses the measured difference in frequency between the two grids to determine whether
the grids are synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous grids
For synchronous grids the nal relay is commanded (synchronisation ok) when the following con-
ditions obtain:
• The activation signal is active,
• the blocking input signal is inactive,
