The SPI1021 monitors voltage and frequency in plants for own generation of electricity. It fulfills the requirements of CEI 0-21 (Italy) and DEWA-standard (Dubai) Interface Protection (IP) according to DEWA Distributed Rrnewable Resources Generation programme (DRRG19, September 01, 2016).
6 selectable programs allow measuring, 3 phases to neutral (4-wire mode), 3 phases phase-phase (3-wire mode) and single phase to neutral (2-wire). The SPI1021 can monitor all decentralized power plants, photovoltaic, wind or thermal, that feed in the low or medium voltage grid. In applications with possible asymmetry >6kVA, power balance has to be monitored extra.
In programs 1-3 (3=default) the limits are preset according to CEI 0-21 (Italy), in programs 4-6 they are preset according to DEWA-standard (Dubai). They can be changed if required and be protected with a code and/or a seal.
A counter for alarms and standbys stores the last 100 events with reason and elapsed time. In addition the time the SPI1021 has interrupted the plant is recorded. All values can be read displayed at the device and give the operator valuable information about the availability of the plant. The standby input allows a remote shutoff e.g. with a RCR. It can also be used to switch to an energy saving mode by a timer or a twilight switch. Number of standbys and added time are stored and can be read in the display.
Summary of the functions
When the device has been installed, a self-test starts automatically. The self-test can be repeated when required. All values of the test are stored and can be read out at the display.
