Overvoltage
A function responding to voltage above its configured operating criteria.

Protection functions · 59M
Main-input overvoltage
Supervises high voltage using the main three-phase inputs in the cited Eaton family.
SLD / Schematic · 59M
What it represents
Supervises high voltage using the main three-phase inputs in the cited Eaton family.
The drafting record should connect this function to the main VT circuit and phase input assignments, then trace the main overvoltage operating outputs. Keep the complete designation and equipment tag together so that the SLD, relay logic and terminal schedule describe the same implementation.
The cited mapping is a public manufacturer example (Eaton ETR family). Suffixes are not universal equivalences across products, and this reference supplies neither a protection setting nor certification of the selected scheme.
How to read it
- Identify the main VT circuit and phase input assignments.
- Trace the main overvoltage operating outputs.
Information to show or reference
- Label the main VT circuit and phase input assignments.
- Cross-reference the main overvoltage operating outputs.
- Retain the complete suffix, selected device tag and manufacturer manual revision.
A distinction that matters
59M and 59A can supervise different voltage sources; their labels should match the VT circuits shown.
