General voltage monitoring
For general device and plant protection, voltage relays with
switching thresholds of 0.7 × U
c
, i.e. 161 V are used. If they have
fixed, non-changeable switching thresholds, they switch back to
normal operation at 0.85 × U
c
, 195 V or at 0.9 × U
c
, 207 V,
depending on the version. If they have adjustable thresholds,
they switch back to normal operation with 4 % hysteresis, 9 V.
1, 2 or 3 phases to N or 3 phases to N
All voltage relays require an N-conductor. Devices for 1, 2 or 3
phases to N can be used for 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation.
Devices for 3 phases to N require all three phases, whereby the
sequence in which they are connected is irrelevant.
Asymmetry detection
If different voltages occur in a three-phase network, this is called
phase asymmetry. Some voltage relays detect an asymmetry of
approx. 6 to 8 % of the phase-to-neutral voltage, i.e. approx.
14 to 16 V and switch off. This type of operation is used for
example to protect motors against a "skew".
N-conductor monitoring
An N-conductor break causes a skew, depending on the phase
load. In extreme cases, this could cause 400 V to be applied to
a phase and destroy the connected devices. Each voltage relay
with asymmetry detection is tripped by an N-conductor break, if
the phase displacement is at least 14 to 18 V.
The 5TT3410 N-conductor monitor detects a phase displace-
ment of 5 %, which is roughly 12 V. This provides earlier protec-
tion against overvoltage for connected devices. The N-conduc-
tor monitor does not react if the voltage drops or rises in all
phases simultaneously; or if a phase is swapped with the
N-conductor.
Reverse voltage detection
If a phase fails, the motors feed a reverse voltage to the missing
phase. However, voltage relays with reverse voltage detection
will disconnect in this case because they are monitoring the
phase angle.
Phase failure detection
If a phase fails completely, the voltage relays disconnect with a
delay as specified in the technical specifications.
Short-time failure detection
Short-time failures upwards of 20 ms cannot be detected with
conventional voltage relays. However, they can occur in the case
of system transfers or lightning strikes and can lead to
uncertainty for sensitive process sequences or measuring
procedures. The 5TT3407 short-time voltage relay has a reset
function that allows a procedure to be permanently interrupted
after a fault.
Back-up fuse
The voltage relays do not require a back-up fuse as device
protection. However, they are often installed in junctions, i.e. in
main supply systems with high fusing. In this case, the supply
lead to the voltage relay must be short-circuit resistant. The
back-up fuse only serves as line protection.
