Maximum allowable setpoint

The meter is programmed to help prevent user data entry errors. Limits have been set
for the standard (1-Sec) alarms.

The maximum setpoint value you can enter for some of the standard alarms depend on
the voltage transformer ratio (VT ratio), current transformer ratio (CT ratio), system type
(i.e., number of phases) and/or the maximum voltage and maximum current limits
programmed at the factory.

NOTE: VT ratio is the VT primary divided by the VT secondary, and CT ratio is the CT
primary divided by the CT secondary.

Power factor (PF)

You can set up a Leading PF or Lagging PF alarm to monitor when the circuit’s power
factor goes above or below the threshold you specify. The Leading PF and Lagging PF
alarms use the power factor quadrants as the values on the y-axis, with quadrant II on
the lowest end of the scale, followed by quadrant III, quadrant I, and finally quadrant IV
on the highest end of the scale.
