Pickup Values
The level of the active power input is determined by the friction losses to be overcome and is in the following
ranges, depending on the individual system:

l Steam turbines: PReverse/SN ≈ 1 % to 3 %

l Gas turbines: PReverse/SN ≈ 3 % to 5 %
l Diesel drives: PReverse/SN > 5 %

For the primary test, the reverse power should be measured with the actual protection. The user should select
a setting of 0.5 times the value of the measured motoring energy. This value can be found under the
percentage operational measured values. The feature to correct angle faults of the current and voltage
transformers should be used especially for very large machines with a particularly low motoring energy (see
Sections Power System Data 1 and ).

The pickup value 3102 P> REVERSE is set in percent of the secondary apparent power rating SNsek = √3 ·
UNsec · INsec . If the primary motoring energy is known, it must be converted to secondary quantities using the
following formula:

with

Psec Secondary power corresponding to setting value

SNsec secondary rated power = √3 · UNsec · INsec

PMach Machine power corresponding to setting value

SN, Mach Nominal apparent power of the machine

UN Mach Nominal Voltage of the Machine

IN Mach Nominal current of the machine

UN prim Primary Nominal Voltage of the voltage transformers

IN prim Primary nominal current of the current transformer
