10.2.5 Transients
The detection of transients lets the user detect different types of voltage wave defects. When
the user clicks on the transients menu option the screen in Fig. 10-11 or similar will appear.
Clicking the” Detection mode" window allows the selection among the following options:
Configurable options for detection method:
•
Peak
•
Wave
•
RMS Value
•
Disabled

PEAK
The detection of transients based on the peak value occurs when the absolute value of one or
several voltage samples exceed a certain threshold value set in this screen. The setting should
be large enough to avoid it from being tripped with normal amplitudes or even those slightly
above 110% of the nominal peak value.
The detection is based on phase-neutral voltage value. If there is no neutral, the set value
should be the maximum phase-phase voltage value divided by
√3

Configurable Parameters:
•

neutral

WAVE
The detection of transients using the “wave” option occurs when there is a defect in the wave
shape so that the it exceeds the limits of a square defined by a threshold value (V phase to
neutral) and a duration (indicated in % of the period)
