PowerLogic™ PM5500 series user manual Chapter 10—Alarms
HRB1684301-01 89
NOTE: Some alarms do not apply to all power system configurations. For example,
line-to-neutral voltage alarms cannot be enabled on 3-phase delta systems.
Setpoint conditions
A setpoint condition occurs when the magnitude of the signal being monitored crosses
the limit specified by the pickup setpoint setting and stays within that limit for a minimum
time period specified by the pickup time delay setting.
The setpoint condition ends when the magnitude of the signal being monitored crosses
the limit specified by dropout setpoint setting and stays within that limit for a minimum
time period specified by dropout time delay setting.
The meter supports these types of setpoint conditions:
Over setpoint
When the value rises above the pickup setpoint setting and remains there long enough
to satisfy the pickup time delay period (∆T1), the alarm condition is set to ON. When the
value falls below the dropout setpoint setting and remains there long enough to satisfy
the dropout time delay period (∆T2), the alarm condition is set to OFF.

Some alarms use the system type and the VT or CT ratio to determine the maximum allowed setpoint. See “Maximum allowable setpoint” on page 91.
