Could you please advise me about the meaning of the protection function 27i. ( I Know that the ANSI Code for undervoltage protection is [27] but i did never hear about 27i. Also what is 27R ( somebody said:residual undervoltage). Does this function exist? if so whatis its application?
Thanks in advance.
 
Residual Voltage or Unbalanced Voltage protection is normally included in an ungrounded system where under single to ground fault leads to 1.732X VL increase to healthy lines. S-L-G fault leads unbalanced condition in a balanced system. So its better to include Unbalanced protection as it is faster & relates insulation co-ordination.

Generalised setting for 27R may be assigned as >20% with 5Sec & >50% instantaneous.

This also reduces the arcing ground under S-L-G fault.

dear 27 i is instataneous under voltage and 27 r is residual under voltage.
