State
Range: On, Off
Default: Off
These settings allow for specifying a normal state for each digital channel. These states
are transmitted in configuration frames to the data concentrator.
Each logical PMU contains five triggering mechanisms to facilitate triggering of the
associated PMU recorder and cross-triggering of other PMUs. They are
•
Overfrequency and underfrequency
•
Overvoltage and undervoltage
•
Overcurrent
•
Overpower
•
High rate of change of frequency
The pre-configured triggers can be augmented with a user-programmable trigger. This
trigger can be built freely using programmable logic of the relay. The entire triggering logic
is refreshed once every two power system cycles.
Select the Settings > Metering > Phasor Measurement Unit > Triggering > User
Triggering menu to open the PMU user-programmable trigger window.
Figure 468: User-programmable trigger configuration setting
The following user-programmable trigger setting is available.
Function
Range: any metering operand or shared operand
Default: OFF
This setting selects an operand to use as a user-specified trigger.
All five triggering functions and the user-programmable trigger are consolidated (ORed)
and connected to the PMU recorder. Each trigger can be programmed to log its operation
into the event recorder. The five triggers drive the STAT bits of the data frame to inform the
destination of the synchrophasor data regarding the cause of trigger. The following
convention is adopted to drive bits 11, 3, 2, 1, and 0 of the STAT word.
