10.2.2 FunctionalityOverfrequency protection function SAPTOF is applicable in all situations, wherereliable detection of high fundamental power system frequency is needed.Overfrequency occurs because of sudden load drops or shunt faults in the powernetwork. Close to the generating plant, generator governor problems can also causeover frequency.SAPTOF measures frequency with high accuracy, and is used mainly for generationshedding and remedial action schemes. It is also used as a frequency stage initiatingload restoring. A definite time delay is provided for operate.SAPTOF is provided with an undervoltage blocking.The operation is based on positive sequence voltage measurement and requires twophase-phase or three phase-neutral voltages to be connected.
