Phase A Low Voltage Events

This events checks the per phase voltage for values that fall below a specified limit.
The threshold is defined as a percentage of the expected per phase nominal voltage and
recommended to be in the range of 60% to 99.9%.
The event is logged if ‘A’ phase voltage falls below the preset threshold and this
condition persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

Phase B Low Voltage Events


This events checks the per phase voltage for values that fall below a specified limit.
The threshold is defined as a percentage of the expected per phase nominal voltage and
recommended to be in the range of 60% to 99.9%.
The event is logged if ‘B’ phase voltage falls below the preset threshold and this
condition persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

Phase C Low Voltage Events


This events checks the per phase voltage for values that fall below a specified limit.
The threshold is defined as a percentage of the expected per phase nominal voltage and
recommended to be in the range of 60% to 99.9%.
The event is logged if ‘C’ phase voltage falls below the preset threshold and this
condition persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

High Voltage Events


This events checks the per phase voltage for values that exceed a specified limit.
The threshold is defined as a percentage of the expected per phase nominal voltage.
The event is logged if any phase voltage exceeds the preset threshold and this condition
persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

Phase A Reverse Current Events


The Reverse Power Events recognizes any application where the ‘A’ phase current
transformer is wired incorrectly, or where meter tampering may have occurred.
The event is logged if this condition persists for a duration more than the predefined
persistence time.

Phase B Reverse Current Events


The Reverse Power Events recognizes any application where the ‘B’ phase current
transformer is wired incorrectly, or where meter tampering may have occurred.
The event is logged if this condition persists for a duration more than the predefined
persistence time.

Phase C Reverse Current Events


The Reverse Power Events recognizes any application where the ‘C’ phase current
transformer is wired incorrectly, or where meter tampering may have occurred.
The event is logged if this condition persists for a duration more than the predefined
persistence time.
Phase A Low Current Events
This events monitors the service current for values that fall below a programmed limit. The
events checks for erroneous operation or failure of a current transformer, and for evidence
of meter tampering. If all phase currents fall below the limit, there will be no warning or
indication. The indication occurs when ‘A’ phase current values fall below the
programmed limit, while the remaining phase current stays above the limit.
The event is logged if ‘A’ phase current falls below the preset threshold and this
condition persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

Phase B Low Current Events


This events monitors the service current for values that fall below a programmed limit. The
events checks for erroneous operation or failure of a current transformer, and for evidence
of meter tampering. If all phase currents fall below the limit, there will be no warning or
indication. The indication occurs when ‘B’ phase current values fall below the
programmed limit, while the remaining phase current stays above the limit.
The event is logged if ‘B’ phase current falls below the preset threshold and this
condition persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

Phase C Low Current Events


This events monitors the service current for values that fall below a programmed limit. The
events checks for erroneous operation or failure of a current transformer, and for evidence
of meter tampering. If all phase currents fall below the limit, there will be no warning or
indication. The indication occurs when ‘C’ phase current values fall below the
programmed limit, while the remaining phase current stays above the limit.
The event is logged if ‘C’ phase current falls below the preset threshold and this
condition persists for a duration more than the predefined persistence time.

Voltage Imbalance Events


This events checks for an imbalance between phase voltages. To qualify as a failure, both
of the following conditions must exist:

 the highest per phase voltage must be greater than the minimum voltage threshold.
(Va or Vb or Vc) > minimum voltage threshold

 the ratio of the lowest per phase voltage to the highest (low/high) must be less than
the imbalance threshold.
lowest _ per _ phase _ voltage
< imbalance threshold
highest _ per _ phase _ voltage

The minimum voltage threshold is defined as a percentage of the nominal voltage and the
imbalance threshold is a fraction (0-1).
The event is logged if the above two conditions exist and this condition persists for a
duration more than the predefined persistence time.
Current Imbalance Events
This events checks for an imbalance between phase currents. To qualify as a failure, both
of the following conditions must exist:

 the highest per phase current must be greater than the minimum current threshold.
(Ia or Ib or Ic) > minimum current threshold

 the ratio of the lowest per phase current to the highest (low/high) must be less than
the imbalance threshold.
lowest _ per _ phase _ current
< imbalance threshold
highest _ per _ phase _ current

The minimum current threshold is defined as a percentage of the maximum current and
the imbalance threshold is a fraction (0-1)
The event is logged if the above two conditions exist and this condition persists for a
duration more than the predefined persistence time.

The occurrence and restoration of all the above events are logged with date and time
stamp. The snap shot of the per phase voltage , per phase current and per phase pf at the
time of event occurrence and restoration are logged.
A maximum of 255 events are logged in the meter memory on FIFO basis.
The nominal values and the thresholds are given in the Program Data in MIM Reporting.
