proper time of interface switch 10 ms
b
longest disconnection of the rise-in-voltage protection as a moving 10-minute-average, tested according clause 5.7.7 Protection
devices and protection settings of VDE 0124-100
The disconnect time (sum of trip time of grid and plant protection and delay time of interface switch) must not exceed 200 ms.
A check of the overall functional chain "NS protection – interface switch" resulted in a successful disconnection.
The above mentioned grid and plant protection with the assigned power generation units has met the requirements for islanding
detection with the help of the active method (resonant circuit test).
The above mentioned NS protection meets the requirements for synchronization.
