Voltage and frequency control relay Products and solutions for photovoltaic applications Voltage and frequency monitoring PMVF10 Order code Rated voltage to be Qty Wt controlled Ue per [V] n [kg] Three-phase low-voltage system, with or without neutral. Compatible for single-phase low-voltage system. Minimum and maximum AC voltage and frequency plus ROCOF. PMVF10 230/400VAC 1 0.254 50Hz Status indication table Anomaly Green LED Red LED Red LED Red LED Relay output ON Vmin Vmax Hz 1 and 2 None Constantly Switched Switched Switched Energised lighted off off off Min/max Flashing Switched Switched Constantly De-energised frequency off off lighted or ROCOF Voltage Flashing Constantly Switched Switched De-energised <Vmin lighted off off Voltage Flashing Switched Constantly Switched De-energised >Vmax off lighted off General characteristics The monitoring relay PMVF10 is designed and developed to satisfy requirements of the local power authority (ENEL guide edition 2.1 of 12/2010). The authority imposes that the following automatic controls be done whenever an independent power source (e.g. wind turbine or photovoltaic systems, diesel generating set, etc.) is connected in parallel with the electrical grid (local low-voltage utility): Limits of minimum and maximum voltage values Limits of minimum and maximum frequency values Limit of the Rate Of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF). When at least one of these limits are not respected, abnormal conditions need to be signalled using a contact. Typically, the contact is used to isolate the independent power source from the electrical grid. The following protections are available: Maximum voltage Minimum voltage Maximum frequency Minimum frequency ROCOF. TRMS (True-rms) measurements of this relay allow to obtain a correct operation even in presence of harmonic voltages. The device has fixed tripping thresholds for minimum and maximum voltage while those for frequency can be selected between two predefined values using a rotary switch. A reset delay is adjustable by potentiometer. Self powered by the system to control Compatible for: Three-phase systems (400VAC 50Hz), with or without neutral Single-phase systems (230VAC 50Hz) TRMS measurements 2 relay outputs, each with one changeover contact, rated 8A 250VAC in AC1 Modular DIN 43880 housing (3 module) Degree of protection: IP40 on front (only when mounted in housing or electric board with IP40); IP20 on terminals. PROTECTIONS For maximum voltage: Threshold 1.13Ue (fixed) Tripping time 0.1s (fixed). For minimum voltage: Threshold 0.825Ue (fixed) Tripping time 0.2s (fixed). ADJUSTMENTS Mode Reset delay Multifunction rotary switch: Control of phase or phase-to-phase voltage values Frequency threshold ±0.3 or ±1Hz ROCOF (>0.5Hz/s) ON-OFF. Resetting time 0.1-30s. STATUS INDICATIONS 1 green LED for system within limits (flashing when out of limits) 3 red LEDs for minimum and maximum voltage, minimum and maximum frequency and ROCOF.
