Voltage and frequency relays

Application
Two voltage ranges are available
to cover the large variety of control
applications: reference voltage
levels supported by MiCOM P921,
P922 and P923 relays from
57V to 480V.
Because of the 3 independent
phase overvoltage and phase
undervoltage thresholds, MiCOM
P921, P922 and P923 relays are
able to provide effective voltage
protection: a typical application
might be the protection of motors
and generators. The configurable
detection logic (AND, OR) can also
indicate the absence of voltage,
when the undervoltage protection
is used.
The 3 zero-sequence overvoltage
