If the frequency remains above the setvalue for a time period greater than the set time delay the TRIP signal is issued. Toavoid an unwanted TRIP due to uncertain frequency measurement at low voltagemagnitude, a voltage controlled blocking of the function is available from thepreprocessing function, that is, if the voltage is lower than the set blocking voltage inthe preprocessing function, the function is blocked and no START or TRIP signal isissued.8.2.7.1 Measurement principleThe frequency measuring element continuously measures the frequency of thepositive sequence voltage and compares it to the setting StartFrequency. Thefrequency signal is filtered to avoid transients due to switchings and faults in thepower system. If the voltage magnitude decreases below the setting MinValFreqMeasin the SMAI preprocessing function, which is discussed in the Basic IED Functionschapter and is set as a percentage of a global base voltage parameter UBase, SAPTOFis blocked and the output BLKDMAGN is issued.
