5 SETTINGS
All five triggering functions and the user-definable condition are consolidated (ORed) and connected to the PMU recorder.
Each trigger can be programmed to log its operation into the event recorder, and to signal its operation via targets. 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.

The trigger responds to the frequency signal of the phasor measurement unit (PMU) source. The frequency is calculated
from either phase voltages, auxiliary voltage, phase currents and ground current, in this hierarchy, depending on the source
configuration as per L30 standards. This element requires the frequency is above the minimum measurable value. If the
frequency is below this value, such as when the circuit is de-energized, the trigger will drop out.
• PMU 1 FREQ TRIGGER LOW-FREQ: This setting specifies the low threshold for the abnormal frequency trigger. The
comparator applies a 0.03 Hz hysteresis.
• PMU 1 FREQ TRIGGER HIGH-FREQ: This setting specifies the high threshold for the abnormal frequency trigger. The
comparator applies a 0.03 Hz hysteresis.
