SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING VOLTAGE EVENT ALARMS IN AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Systems and methods for managing voltage event alarms in an electrical system are provided. In one aspect of this disclosure, a method for managing voltage event alarms in an electrical system includes processing electrical measurement data from, or derived from, energy-related signals captured by at least one intelligent electronic device (IED) to identify an anomalous voltage condition at a point of installation in the electrical system. The anomalous voltage condition may correspond, for example, to a measured IED voltage being above or greater than one or more upper alarm thresholds or below or less than one or more lower alarm thresholds. The method also includes determining if the electrical system is affected by the identified anomalous voltage condition. In response to determining that the electrical system is affected by the identified anomalous voltage condition, at least one of a plurality of criteria may be chosen to adjust at least one of the upper alarm thresholds and/or at least one of the lower alarm thresholds.
