Setpoint #19 is setup to detect voltage sag and has the following
configuration data:

Type = Voltage Sag

Evaluation condition = Under forward

High Limit = 90% Nominal System Voltage

Low Limit = 90% Nominal System Voltage

Action delay = 0

Release delay = 0

Output action = Capture oscillograph

Setpoint #20 is setup to detect voltage swell and has the following
configuration data:

Type = Voltage Swell

Evaluation condition = Over forward

High Limit = 110% Nominal System Voltage

Low Limit = 110% Nominal System Voltage

Action delay = 0

Release delay = 0

Output action = Capture oscillograph

If the nominal system voltage setting is changed, the high and low
limits for setpoint #19 and #20 are automatically adjusted to 90% and
110% of the nominal system voltage.

Using Sag and Swell Detection

Follow these steps to effectively use sag and/or swell detection.

1. Set RMS result averaging to 0 (no averaging) for the quickest

setpoint response to changes in input voltage.

2. Alter setpoint configuration if necessary to adjust the sensitivity

to sags and/or swells.

If using the setpoint to trigger an oscillograph capture, make
sure there is at least one capture location that is clear and ready
to accept a new capture.

TIP

The setpoint limits reference the nominal line-to-line voltage for Delta
modes and the nominal line-to-neutral voltage for Wye and
single-phase modes.
