Section 1. HANDLING AND INSTALLATION

1.1 General considerations

1.1.1 Receipt of product
Although the product is generally of robust construction, careful treatment is
required prior to installation on site. Upon receipt, the product should be examined
immediately, to ensure no damage has been sustained in transit. If damage has been
sustained during transit, a claim should be made to the transport contractor, and a
GEC ALSTHOM T&D Protection & Control representative should be promptly
notified. Products that are supplied unmounted and not intended for immediate
installation should be returned to their protective polythene bags.
1.1.2 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
The product uses components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
The electronic circuits are well protected by the metal case and the internal module
should not be withdrawn unnecessarily. When handling the module outside its case,
care should be taken to avoid contact with components and electrical connections.
If removed from the case for storage, the module should be placed in an electrically
conducting antistatic bag.
There are no setting adjustments within the module and it is advised that it is not
unnecessarily disassembled. Although the printed circuit boards are plugged
together, the connectors are a manufacturing aid and not intended for frequent
dismantling; in fact considerable effort may be required to separate them.
Touching the printed circuit board should be avoided, since complementary metal
oxide semiconductors (CMOS) are used, which can be damaged by static electricity
discharged from the body.
1.2 Handling of electronic equipment
A person’s normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several
thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when
handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage, which often may not be
immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced.
The electronic circuits are completely safe from electrostatic discharge when housed
in the case. Do not expose them to risk of damage by withdrawing modules
unnecessarily.
Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor
devices. However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the precautions
should be taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment
has been designed and manufactured.
1. Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential
as the equipment by touching the case.
2. Handle the module by its frontplate, frame or edges of the printed circuit board.
Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors.
3. Do not pass the module to another person without first ensuring you are both at
the same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
4. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at
the same potential as yourself.
5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.

Page 9
 If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an equipment
in service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist
strap. Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k–10M ohms.
If a wrist strap is not available, you should maintain regular contact with the case to
prevent a build-up of static. Instrumentation which may be used for making
measurements should be earthed to the case whenever possible.
More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be
found in BS5783 and IEC 147–OF. It is strongly recommended that detailed
investigations on electronic circuitry, or modification work, should be carried out in
a Special Handling Area such as described in the above-mentioned BS and IEC
documents.
1.3 Mounting
Products are dispatched, either individually, or as part of a panel/rack assembly.
If loose products are to be assembled into a scheme, then construction details can be
found in Publication R7012. If an MMLG test block is to be included it should be
positioned at the right hand side of the assembly (viewed from the front).
Modules should remain protected by their metal case during assembly into a panel or
rack. The design of the relay is such that the fixing holes are accessible without
removal of the cover. For individually mounted units, an outline diagram is normally
supplied showing the panel cut-outs and hole centres. These dimensions will also be
found in Publication R6520.
1.4 Unpacking
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the products so that none of the
parts are damaged, or the settings altered and they must only be handled by skilled
persons. The installation should be clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and
excessive vibration. The site should be well lit to facilitate inspection. Modules that
have been removed from their cases should not be left in situations where they are
exposed to dust or damp. This particularly applies to installations which are being
carried out at the same time as construction work.
1.5 Storage
If products are not to be installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in
a place free from dust and moisture in their original cartons. Where de-humidifier
bags have been included in the packing they should be retained. The action of the
de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient
conditions and may be restored by gently heating the bag for about an hour, prior to
replacing it in the carton.
Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into the
product; in damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated with
moisture and the de-humidifier will lose its efficiency.
Storage temperature –25°C to +70°C.

Section 2. DESCRIPTION

The KMPC130 Measurement Centre provides measurement, protection, control and

recording functions for the circuit to which it is connected. Some 30 to 40 individual
measurements are provided which include voltage, current, power, peak demand and
energy values. Protection features include definite time overcurrent with start and
timer blocking facilities; circuit breaker failure protection and undercurrent
detection. The control features include remote closing/tripping of the circuit breaker
and load shedding/restoration. In addition records can be generated for fault
information, time tagged events and disturbances on the circuit to which it is
connected. These records can be triggered by the internal protection functions and
also by the operation of external protection if required. Some of the data recorded
will assist with establishing circuit breaker maintenance requirements.
Eight opto-isolated inputs are used in the control logic and when any of these are not
required for this purpose they may be used to indicate the status of primary plant, or
the operation of external protective relays. Eight output relays provide for remote
control of the circuit breaker, control of voltage regulating relays, such as the
MVGC 01 relay, back tripping from the breaker fail circuit, undercurrent and the
outputs of auxiliary time delays.
Serial communication via K-Bus, based on the Courier language and protocol,
provides means of remotely accessing the measurement centre for measured values,
records, control of plant, load shedding and setting changes.
2.1 Measurement functions
2.1.1 Frequency response
Measurement is based on the Fourier derived value of the power frequency
component of current. Harmonics up to and including the 6th are suppressed.
The 7th harmonic is the first predominant harmonic and this is attenuated by a factor
of 3; also higher harmonics are further progressively attenuated by the anti-aliasing
filter.
The frequency response is further enhanced by frequency tracking the measured
signal over a range of 45Hz to 65Hz. The sampling rate of the analogue/digital
conversion is automatically adjusted to match the frequency of the tracked signal. In
the absence of a signal to track, the sampling rate settles to that determined from the
set rated frequency (Fn) and this will be the displayed default value for the
frequency. In the presence of a signal within the tracking range the KMPC will lock-
on to the signal and track any changes in frequency.
Frequency measurement is a by-product of the frequency tracking and maintains its
accuracy from 45Hz to 65Hz. In the absence of any signal to track the display will
change to the selected default value of 50Hz or 60Hz.
2.1.2 Measured quantities
Measurements are divided into three groups: those that are directly measured; those
that are calculated from the directly measured quantities and demand values.
All measurement values can be displayed on the front of the relay. Measured values
will be displayed in primary system quantities if the current and voltage transformer
ratios are entered in the PHASE FAULT SETTINGS column of the menu.
The default setting for these ratios is 1:1; the displayed settings and measured values
then being in terms of the secondary quantities from the primary transducers.

2.1.3 Measurement refresh interval

1 cycle Ia, Ib, Ic, Io, Iave, %Inps
1 second Power measurements
5s Demand values and energy measurement
Display refresh 0.5 second All displayed values

2.1.4 Rolling average value

A rolling average calculation is used to provide a stable reading of the measured
values obtained from the sampled waveforms and to improve the accuracy. It is
achieved by averaging the last eight measured or calculated values and is applied to
all values that can be read or displayed, except for the half and one cycle values used
for protection and fault records. The display will therefore settle to the final value in
eight times the refresh interval given in the table in section 2.1.3.
2.1.5 Directly measured
2.1.5.1 Current
The phase currents (Ia, Ib, Ic) shall be measured. These measurements are corrected
during calibration for both phase and amplitude and then used to calculate other
values such as negative phase sequence current, and power.
Accuracy:
Amplitude – Better than 1% of rated current at any value of applied current
from 0.2In to 2In.
Phase – Better than 0.5 degree between any two phase currents
over the range 0.2In to 2In.
Range:
The first gain change takes place at 0.225In and the second range change at
approximately 1.8In to obtain suitable negative sequence sensitivity and this will
give an overall range of 0 to 16In. Above 16In the values will have an increasing
error and the maximum value of the samples will be clipped at (√2 x 16)In.
2.1.5.2 Voltage
The three phase voltages (Va, Vb, Vc) are measured. These measurements are
corrected during calibration for both phase and amplitude and then used to calculate
other values such as Line Voltage, Negative Phase Sequence Voltage and Power.
Accuracy:
Amplitude – Better than 1% of rated phase to neutral voltage at any value of
applied voltage from 0.5Vn to 1.5 Vn.
Note: Vn = 110V phase/phase (63.5V phase/neutral).

Page 12
 Phase – Better than 0.5 degree between any two phase voltages
over the range 0.5Vn to 1.5Vn.
Range:
The first gain change takes place at 11.25V and the second range change at 90V to
obtain suitable negative sequence sensitivity. The overall voltage range is limited by
the rating of the input VTs as given in section 7.1.1.
2.1.5.3 Frequency
Frequency is displayed to two decimal places and the displayed value is averaged
over the last 8 measurements to ensure an accurate and stable measurement.
Default = Fn, the set rated frequency, with no signal.
Range: 45Hz to 65 Hz
Accuracy: ±0.05% or better
2.1.6 Calculated from measured values
2.1.6.1 Line voltages
The three line voltages (Vab, Vbc, Vca) are calculated from the phase to neutral
voltages. The displayed values are the average of the last 8 calculated values to
ensure an accurate and stable display.
2.1.6.2 Average line voltage
The average line voltage (Vave) is the average value of the three line voltages and is
averaged over 8 measurements. This is one of the main values to be extracted by
SCADA type systems to give busbar voltage on mimic diagrams etc.
2.1.6.3 Line and neutral currents
The residual current (Io) is calculated as the vector sum of the currents in the three
phases. Two line currents (Iab, Ibc) are also calculated but they are only used in the
calculation of negative phase sequence currents and cannot be displayed.
2.1.6.4 Average phase current
The average value of the three phase currents (Iave) is calculated and made available
via the menu. This value is a rolling average value to ensure an accurate and stable
display. This replaces the maximum phase current value in the menu of some relays
in the K-series. This is one of the main values to be extracted by SCADA type
systems to give values for feeder current on mimic diagrams etc.
2.1.6.5 Negative sequence voltage
The negative sequence voltage is calculated from the line voltages and expressed as
a percentage of the average phase voltage. Incremental changes are displayed over
the range 0 to 100%. The sensitivity of measurement will be highest at rated values
of voltage and the error will be greatest at low voltages.
Full scale (100%) is displayed when a balanced three phase negative phase sequence
voltage is applied. With a balanced positive phase sequence voltage applied the
reading will be close to 0%.
Accuracy: ±2%Vn or better – for voltages in the range 0.5Vn to 1.5Vn
2.1.6.6 Negative sequence current
The negative sequence is calculated from the line currents and expressed as a
percentage of the average phase current. The measurement will be satisfactory with
current as low as 0.1In, with smaller incremental changes being displayed.

Page 13
 Full scale (100%) will be achieved when a balanced three phase current is applied
with a reversed phase sequence, when the negative sequence value is equal to the
average phase current. Balanced load current will produce a reading close to 0%.
Accuracy: ±2%In or better – for currents in the range 0.1In to 2In
2.1.7 Power
2.1.7.1 Signing direction of power flow
The standard current and voltage connections, shown on connection diagrams and
listed in the table in Section 3 of this manual, are the convention that forward current
flow is from the busbar to the feeder. This will correspond to positive values of
active power flowing from the busbar to the feeder. However, alternative methods of
signing the direction of power flow are provided and may be selected to suit a
particular application, or user’s standards. The mode for signing the direction of
active and reactive power are provided in menu cell 041E in the
MEASUREMENTS 2 column of the menu. The following options are provided:

Lagging KVARS to busbar

Mode 0 = +VAR
Mode 1 = +VAR
Mode 2 = –VAR
Mode 3 = –VAR

Power to busbar V Power to feeder

Mode 0 = –W Mode 0 = +W
Mode 1 = +W Mode 1 = –W
Mode 2 = –W Mode 2 = +W
Mode 3 = +W Mode 3 = –W

Mode 0 = –VAR
Mode 1 = –VAR
Mode 2 = +VAR
Mode 3 = +VAR

Lagging KVARS to feeder

Figure 1

Mode 0 in the above diagram is for conventional connection for power flow to
feeder.
Mode 0 – Normal direction : power flow towards feeder (a+jb)
Mode 1 – Nett import signing : + = import; – = export
Mode 2 – Nett export signing : + = export; – = import
Mode 3 – Reversed direction : power flow towards busbar (a+jb)
Note: The selected mode of signing will apply to all values of power and energy
measurement including the demand values. If the setting of this cell is
changed after the KMPC has been put into service the demand and energy
registers should be first read and then reset to zero. As a safeguard against
accidental change the mode cell is password protected.

Page 14
2.1.7.2 Apparent power per phase
The apparent power (VA) is calculated separately for each phase as the phase to
neutral voltage times the phase current. This is calculated from the average value of
eight consecutive voltage and current measurements to give a stable and accurate
indication. These values are not displayed, they are used in the calculation of three
phase VA.
2.1.7.3 Active power per phase
The active power (W) is calculated separately for each phase as VIcosφ, where V is
the phase to neutral voltage. This is calculated from the average value of eight
consecutive voltage and current measurements to give a stable and accurate
indication. (See Note 1 in Section 3).
2.1.7.4 Reactive power per phase
The reactive power (VAR) is calculated separately for each phase as VIsinφ, where
V is the phase to neutral voltage. This is calculated from the average value of eight
consecutive voltage and current measurements to give a stable and accurate
indication. (See note 1 in section 3).
2.1.7.5 Three phase power
The three phase power is derived from the sum of the three single phase power
measurements for each of the following:
Three phase apparent power
Three phase active power
Three phase reactive power
These values will often be required by SCADA. The displayed values are the
average of 8 separate measurements per phase to improve accuracy of measurement
and the settling time is eight times the refresh rate (= 8s).
Range: (0 to 2) x [Rated VA]
Rated VA = √3.Vn .In .[CT Ratio] . [VT Ratio]
where Vn is the rated line voltage
and In is the rated CT secondary current.
Accuracy: 2% of rated VA
2.1.7.6 Three phase power factor
The three phase power factor is calculated after taking the selected signing mode
into account as:
pf = [active power]/[apparent power]
Range: –1 < 0 < +1 [the sign (–/+) indicates reverse/forward and not lag/lead]
Accuracy: 4% for input power up to 2.25Pn
where Pn is rated power (√3Vn.In)
2.1.8 Demand values
[The sum of equally spaced measurements over the demand period]
[number of measurements]
At the end of the demand period this value will be equal to the average demand
value over the set time period.

Page 15
2.1.8.1 Demand for last period
At the end of the demand period, each demand value is stored in its own unique
menu cell for local display and remote retrieval. For the current demand period these
cells will hold the demand values for the demand for the last (previous) period.
These cells cannot be manually reset to zero; they are continually updated by
overwriting with new data at the end of each demand period. If the value of these
cells is remotely logged once in each demand period, the variation in demand can be
plotted over any period of time.
2.1.8.2 Peak demand value
The peak demand is the highest value reached in any demand period. The peak
demand values are recorded in a separate menu cell for each type of measurement.
These cells can be reset to zero either manually, via the user interface on the front of
the measuring centre, or remotely via the serial communication port. Resetting any
one of the demand registers will reset all the demand registers to zero. Accidental
resetting of these cells is prevented by password protection. As a further safeguard
the peak demand values have been made non volatile and they will retain their
values if the auxiliary power supply to the KMPC is lost, but they will not be
incremented during this time.
2.1.8.3 Demand time period
The demand time period shall be adjustable to the following settings:
Settings: 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour
The demand period timer can be reset to zero by energising an opto-isolated logic
input of the KMPC, or by a global command to synchronise the demand periods of
all KMPC units. This action also resets the integrating registers to zero.
2.1.8.4 Demand values required
Per phase amps
3 phase active forward power 3 phase active reverse power
3 phase reactive forward power 3 phase reactive reverse power
2.1.9 Energy
Accumulated energy is calculated for both active and reactive power. This will
essentially be a three phase value and will be the signed net value of the imported
and exported power. The signing will be as decided by the mode selected
(Section 2.1.7.1).
MWh = [MW (imported) + MW (exported)] x [time]
= [Calculated 3Phase MW] x [time]
MAVRh = [MVAR (imported) + MVAR (exported)] x [time]
= [Calculated 3Phase MVAR] x [time]
Menu cells accommodate values up to ±999999.99MWh before they overflow back
to zero. The value is incremented every 5s. For security, manual reset of these values
is under password control.

2.2 Protection functions
2.2.1 Definite time overcurrent element
This element provides an instantaneous START output when the current exceeds the
set threshold value (I>). If the current persists a second output will be given after a
set time delay (t>) to initiate tripping of a circuit breaker. The timer for the second
stage output can be blocked by energisation of a selected opto-isolated input.
This element of the KMPC can be incorporated in schemes of blocked overcurrent
protection, by association with similar elements in overcurrent protection on other
feeders. Thus in many instances the addition of the KMPC to a circuit will
sufficiently upgrade the protection, without the need to replace the existing
protective relay.
A separate element is provided for earth faults so that an earth fault threshold (Io>)
of less than load current can be applied. However, the gain range for the input
amplifier in the current input circuit is automatically selected to suit the value of the
phase current and hence the minimum operation current for earth faults may be
higher than the set value if the phase currents are large. This should only be a
problem when very low settings are selected and settings much less than load current
will still be obtainable. The earth fault element is provided with an independent
definite time delay (to>).
The current signals are software filtered to reduce their sensitivity to the third
harmonic in the current waveform. Overrun time, which is important for time co-
ordination, is very low at typically 25ms or less. The type of fault detected is
displayed by a series of fault flags.
A reset time delay, which may be set between 0 and 60s, provides these definite time
elements with the ability to detect recurring intermittent faults to give earlier
clearance.
2.2.2 Undercurrent elements
An undercurrent element is provided for each of the three phases, but no separate
undercurrrent element is provided for earth faults. The phase elements respond when
the measured current reaches a set threshold (I<). They require the peak value of at
least one half cycle to be below the set threshold to indicate an undercurrent
condition and since the peak values are measured every 10ms the fast response
necessary for the breaker fail applications can be obtained. However, before an
output is given, an undercurrent condition has to be detected by each of the three
phase elements. An undercurrent condition is assumed not to exist (or an overcurrent
condition exists) when both the positive and negative peaks of the waveform, on any
one phase, exceed the threshold (I<). No separate undercurrent element is provided
for earth faults because the phase fault elements can be set to a low current value.
The undercurrent element can be selectively used for breaker failure protection, or to
give a time delayed undercurrent output to indicate loss of critical load etc.
2.2.3 Breaker fail/backtrip
The breaker fail logic can be energised by an external input to one of the auxiliary
timers; this timer being set to the required breaker fail delay. Additionally, breaker
fail protection can be initiated by the integral definite time overcurrent protection.
In either case the backtrip relay and breaker fail timer will be reset by a current
check as soon as an undercurrent condition is detected on all three phases.

Page 17
2.2.4 Additional overcurrent stage
When the undercurrent element is not being used for an undercurrent function it can
be given a higher current setting and an inverted output used to initiate an auxiliary
time delay to provide another definite time overcurrent stage. The requirement for
both positive and negative peaks to exceed the threshold reduces over-reach that
would be caused by the exponential component of fault current. This element has no
software filtering and will be responsive to harmonics, but the higher frequencies
will receive some attenuation from the anti-aliasing filter. Section 6 describes setting
of these functions.
2.3 Control
All the settings for the auxiliary timing functions that are used in the logic are
located under the LOGIC heading of the menu. The setting of the logic function
links, together with the setting of the input and output masks, controls the way in
which the optional features are used, thus maximising the use of the available
functions. All function links and input/output masks are password protected to
prevent accidental changes being made during the course of minor setting
adjustments.
2.3.1 Input masks
Eight opto-isolated inputs are provided and they can be assigned to control various
functions, or indicate plant status, by setting input masks.
2.3.2 Output relays
Eight programmable output relays are provided, arranged to operate in response to
any of the available functions by setting the OUTPUT MASKS. In addition there is
a watchdog relay for external indication of equipment failure/healthy status.
2.3.3 Auxiliary timers
There are three auxiliary timers in the relays that are used in the internal scheme
logic. When they are not used internally they may be used as discrete time delays for
external functions. For this they may be initiated via any of the opto-isolated control
inputs and their outputs directed to any of the output relays by setting the associated
INPUT and OUTPUT MASKS.
2.3.4 Load shedding by tripping less essential loads
Load shedding is possible in response to commands via the communication port.
An indication is required that the circuit breaker was closed before the trip command
was received, otherwise the circuit breaker will not close to restore load when the
appropriate command level is received. The circuit breaker position is indicated via
one of the opto- isolated inputs.
2.3.5 Load restoration
Where load restoration is being used it will be necessary to provide for both tripping
and closing of the circuit breaker via the relay. A restoration time delay may be set
to different values for each circuit so that the reclosures of the circuit breakers in the
substation are staggered. For safety reasons, if the auxiliary supply to the relay is
removed for a short period of time the relay will no longer remember that it tripped
for a load shed command. This will result in the relay not responding to a
subsequent restoration command and thus prevent the possibility of an unexpected
closure of the circuit breaker.

Page 18
2.3.6 Load shedding by voltage reduction
Three of the output relays respond separately to a three stage load shedding
command via the serial communication port. Typically these outputs would be used
to control the load shedding settings of a voltage regulating relay, such as the
MVGC, to give up to three levels of voltage reduction. Restoration is achieved by
load shedding to a lower degree.
2.3.7 Remote control of circuit breaker
Remote close/trip of the circuit breaker is possible by a command over the serial
communication port. This is described in detail in Section 6.
2.4 Records
Several types of record can be stored by the KMPC and in many cases these records
can be triggered by the contacts of an external device such as a protective relay.
2.4.1 Fault records
A fault record is generated whenever a particular output relay (RLY3) operates.
Fault values include voltages and currents recorded for the last fault, but the fault
flags are recorded for the last five triggered events. The fault values are stored in
non-volatile memory and can be accessed via the user interface. There is provision
for resetting these records to zero. In addition the time taken for the circuit breaker
to interrupt the last fault is recorded under this heading. This value is not resettable
as it may need to be accessed at any time as part of a maintenance routine.
A copy of the fault record is also stored in the event records and up to 50 of these
records can be held at any one time, provided no other types of record are logged.
2.4.2 Time tagged event records
An event may be an alarm, a fault record, a change of state of a control input or an
output relay, a setting that has been changed locally, or a control function that has
performed its intended function. A total of 50 events may be stored in a buffer, each
with an associated time tag. This time tag is the value of a timer counter that is
incremented every 1 millisecond.
The event records can only be accessed via the serial communication port when
connected to a suitable master station. When the equipment is not connected to a
master station the event records can still be extracted within certain limitations:
– the event records can only be read via the serial communication port and a
K-Bus/IEC870-5 interface unit will be required to enable the serial port to be
connected to an IBM or compatible PC. Suitable software (eg. Protection Access
Software & Toolkit) will be required to run on the PC so that the records can be
extracted.
– when the event buffer becomes full the oldest record is overwritten by the next
event.
– event records are deleted when the auxiliary supply to the relay is removed, to
ensure that the buffer does not contain invalid data.
– the time tag will be valid for 49 days assuming that the auxiliary supply has not
been lost within that time. However, there may be an error of ±4.3 seconds in
every 24 hour period due to the accuracy limits of the crystal. This is not a
problem when a master station is on line as polling will take place once every
second or so.

Page 19
 Events that are recorded include :
– change in state of logic inputs.
– change in state of relay outputs.
– change to settings made locally.
– fault records as defined in the FAULT RECORD column of the menu.
– alarm messages.
Items 1 and 2 may be deleted from the events by setting one of the System Data
Links in the menu, so that up to 50 fault records may be stored.
2.4.3 Disturbance records
The internal disturbance recorder has one channel allocated to each of the directly
measured analogue quantities; one to record the eight control inputs and one to
record the eight relay outputs. As with the event recorder, when the buffer is full the
oldest record is overwritten and records are deleted if the auxiliary supply to the
relay is removed. This ensures that when the buffer is read the contents will all be
valid.
The disturbance recorder is stopped and the record frozen, a set time after a selected
trigger has been activated. For example a particular output relay could be the
selected trigger and the delay would then set the duration of the trace after the fault.
Each sample has a time tag attached to it so that when the waveform is reconstituted
it can be plotted at the correct point against the time scale, thus ensuring that the
time base is correct and independent of the frequency. Each waveform and opto-
input is sampled eight times per cycle, but the method of recording allows the
analysis program to perform with records that may have a different sample rate.
The disturbance records can only be accessed via the serial communication port.
Only one record can be stored at a time and this may be overwritten by the next
record, or retained until read.
Note: In order to improve measurement accuracy the operational range of the
current input has been reduced by a factor of 4 compared with the protective
relays in the K-series. Therefore the current measurement will saturate at
approximately 16In and this will lead to clipping of the waveform when the
instantaneous value of the current exceeds √2 x 16In.
2.4.4 Circuit breaker maintenance records
The information recorded can be of assistance in determining the need for circuit
breaker maintenance. The circuit breaker opening time is recorded under FAULT
RECORDS. If this value is monitored, any significant increase may be used as an
indication that circuit breaker maintenance is required.
Additionally the number of circuit breaker operations is recorded under
MEASUREMENTS (2).
2.5 Serial communication
Serial communication is supported over K-Bus, a multidrop network that readily
interfaces to IEC870-5 FT1.2 standards. The language and protocol used for
communication is Courier. It has been especially developed to enable generic master
station programs to access many different types of equipment without the need to
continually modify the master station program. The items of equipment connected to
the network form a distributed data base for the master station and are polled for
information as required.

Page 20
 The data includes:
– menu text
– measured values
– settings and setting limits
– fault records
– event records
– disturbance records
– plant status
– status – an eight bit word that identifies specific data available
In addition remote control features offer:
– close circuit breaker
– open circuit breaker
– load shed to level (0 to 7)
– change protection and control settings
– change I/O allocation
– change selected options (logic)
An essential requirement is that the performance of equipment must not be degraded
by connection to the communication bus. Hence error checking and noise rejection
was a major consideration in the design.
The communication port is based on RS485 voltage transmission and reception
levels with galvanic isolation provided by a transformer. A polled protocol in a
master/slave arrangement is used and no slave unit is allowed to transmit unless a
valid message is received, without a detected error, addressed to it. Transmission is
synchronous over a pair of screened wires with the data FM0 coded with the clock
signal to remove any dc component, so that the signal will pass through
transformers. This method of data encoding results in the polarity of the connection
to the bus wiring being unimportant.
With the exception of the master units, each node in the network is passive and any
failed unit on the system will not interfere with communication to the other units.
The frame format is HDLC and the data rate is 64kbits/s. Up to 32 units may be
connected to any bus at any point over a maximum length of 1000 metres.
2.6 Security and reliability
2.6.1 Self monitoring and equipment alarms
The internal monitoring circuits continuously perform a self test routine.
Any detected loss of operation in the first instance initiates a reset sequence to return
the equipment to a serviceable state. The voltage rails are also supervised and the
processor is reset if the voltage falls outside their working range. Should the
processor fail and not restart, the watchdog relay will provide an alarm. This relay
will also signal an alarm on loss of the auxiliary energising supply.
In addition the internal memory of the relay is checked for possible corruption of
data and any detected errors will result in an alarm being generated. An ALARM led
indicates several alarm states which can be identified by viewing the alarm flags.
These are found towards the end of the SYSTEM DATA column of the menu and
consist of a number of characters that may be either “1” or “0” to indicate the set and
reset states of the alarm respectively.

Page 21
 The flags offer the following indications:
000001 Unconfig – non operational – needs to be configured
000010 Uncalib – running uncalibrated – calibration error
000100 Setting – running – possible setting error
001000 No Service – out of service
010000 No Samples – not sampling
100000 No Fourier – not performing Fourier
For the above listed alarms the ALARM led will be continuously lit, the alarm bit
will be set in the STATUS word as a remote alarm and the watchdog relay will
operate. However, there is another form of alarm that causes the ALARM led to
flash; this indicates that the password has been entered to allow access to change
protected settings within the relay and this is not generally available as a remote
alarm.
Note: No control will be possible via the keypad if the “Unconfigured” alarm is
raised because the equipment is locked in a non-operate state.
2.6.2 Password protection
Password protection is provided for the configuration settings including the selection
of CT and VT ratios, function link settings, opto-input and relay output allocation.
2.6.3 Remote control functions
The measuring centre has function links that can be set to block remote control of
selected functions. These can be used to select the commands to which the
measuring centre will respond. This will include change of individual settings;
remote control of the circuit breaker position and load shedding by either voltage
reduction or by load rejection, see Section 5.
Access to internal memory is restricted to that addressed via the menu system of the
unit. In addition all setting changes are reflexed back to the master station for
verification and this must be followed by an EXECUTE command. On reception of
the EXECUTE command the new setting is checked against the limits stored in the
unit before they are entered. Only then does the unit respond to the new setting.
All remote commands are reflexed back to the master station for verification and
followed by an execute command before they are actioned. Any command left set is
automatically rejected if not executed within the time-out period. No replies are
permitted for global commands as this would cause contention on the bus; instead a
double send is used for verification purposes with this type of command.
Remote control is restricted to those functions that have been selected in the menu
table and the selection cannot be changed without entering the password. CRC and
message length checks are used on each message received. No response is given for
received messages with a detected error. The master station can be set to resend a
command a set number of times if it does not receive a reply or receives a reply with
a detected error.

[+] & [–] indicates the polarity of the dc output from these terminals.
(+) & (–) indicate the polarity for the applied dc supply.
In / Out indicate the signal direction for forward operation.
Note 1: The voltage transformers may be star, delta, or V connected; however,
the single phase wattmetric measurements will not take account of the zero
sequence voltages unless the VTs are star connected. Instead the neutral
point of the voltage input circuit will take up a mean neutral position based
on the phase imbalance and the impedances of the phase inputs of the relay.
Phase/phase measurements will be unaffected by these alternative VT
connections.
Note 2: All units have standard Midos terminal blocks to which connections can be
made with either 4mm screws or 4.8mm pre-insulated snap-on connectors.
Two connections can be made to each terminal.

Page 23
3.1 Auxiliary supply
The auxiliary voltage may be ac or dc provided it is within the limiting voltages
given in the Technical Data (see Section 7). The nominal voltage range will be
found on the frontplate of the measurement centre; it is marked (Vx = (24V–125V)
or (48V–250V). An ideal supply to use for testing the relays will be 50V dc or 110V
ac because these values fall within both of the auxiliary voltage ranges.
The supply should be connected to terminals 13 and 14 only. To avoid any
confusion it is recommended that the polarity of any applied voltage is kept to the
Midos standard:
– for dc supplies the positive lead connected to terminal 13 and the negative to
terminal 14.
– for ac supplies the live lead is connected to terminal 13 and the neutral lead to
terminal 14.
Note: To avoid damage do not connect any auxiliary supplies directly in
parallel with terminals 7 and 8.
3.2. Analogue inputs
The six analogue inputs on the expansion board are used for the three phase voltage
and current inputs. Each is fed via an input transducer, a low pass filter and a three
range scaling amplifier. The analogue signals are sampled eight times per cycle on
each channel as the sampling rate tracks the frequency of the input signal.
The terminals to use and the connection polarities for forward power flow can be
found from the table at the start of Section 3.
3.3 Opto-isolated control inputs
The opto-isolated control inputs are rated for 48V and energised from the isolated
48V field voltage provided on terminals 7 and 8 of the relay. Terminal 8 (–) must be
connected to terminal 52 and on three and four pole relays terminal 8 must also be
connected to terminal 55. The opto-isolated control inputs can then be energised by
connecting a volt free contact between terminal 7 (+) and the terminal associated
with the required input, L0 to L7, given in the above table.
The circuit for each opto-isolated input contains a blocking diode to protect it from
any damage that may result from the application of voltage with incorrect polarity.
Where the opto-isolated input of more than one relay is to be controlled by the same
contact it will be necessary to connect terminal 7 of each relay together to form a
common line. In the example, shown in Figure 2, contact X operates L1 of relay 1
and contact Y operates L0 of relay 1 as well as L0 and L1 of relay 2. L2 is not used
on either relay and has no connections made to it.
The opto-inputs may be energised from an external 50V dc supply if required but it
is not advisable to connect the external and internal sources together.
The opto-inputs are in two separate groups of three and five, as shown in the table,
page 23. It would be acceptable to energise one group from the internal source and
the other from the internally derived field voltage.

3.4 Output relays

There are eight programmable output relays available. Some of these output relays
have special significance in their control of flag and recorded logic (see Section 6.8).
In addition there is a watchdog relay which has one make and one break contact.
Thus it can indicate both healthy and failed conditions. As these contacts are mainly
used for alarm purposes single contacts are used and their rating is therefore not as
high as that of the programmable outputs.
3.5 Trip arrangements
An auxiliary supply will be required to trip the circuit breakers. This will normally
be a dc supply which is generally considered to be more secure than an ac supply. It
would be usual to use a shunt trip coil for dc energised trip circuits. The trip circuit
current must be broken by an auxiliary contact on the circuit breaker once the circuit
breaker has opened. If this is not the case then a trip relay with heavy duty contacts
must be interposed between the contact of RLY3 and the trip coil.

Figure 4

Connection to the K-BUS Port is by standard Midos 4mm screw terminals or snap-
on connectors. A twisted pair of wires is all that is required; the polarity of
connection is not important. It is recommended that an outer screen is used with an
earth connected to the screen at the master station end only. Termination of the
screen is effected with the “U” shaped terminal supplied, which must be secured
with a self tapping screw in the hole in the terminal block just below terminal 56.
Operation has been tested up to 1,000 metres with cable to:
DEF standard 16–2–2c
16/0.2mm diameter
40mΩ/M per core
171pF/M core/core
288pF/M core/screen
The minimum requirement to communicate with the relay is a K-Bus/IEC870-5
converter box Type KITZ 101 and suitable software to run on an IBM or compatible
personal computer.
Note: K-Bus must be terminated with a 150Ω resistor at each end of the bus.
The master station can drive the bus from either end, but the bus should only
be driven from one end at a time.
3.7 Watchdog contacts
The watchdog relay will pick-up when the relay is operational to indicate an healthy
state, with its “make” contact closed. When an alarm condition that requires some
action to be taken is detected the watch-dog relay resets and its “break” contact will
close to give an alarm.

The frontplate of the module carries an identification label at the top corner.
This identifies the product by both its model number and serial number.
This information is required when making any enquiry to the factory about a
particular equipment because it uniquely specifies the product. In addition there is a
rating label in the bottom corner which gives details of the auxiliary voltage,
reference voltage and current ratings.
Two handles, one at the top and one at the bottom of the frontplate, will assist in
removing the module from the case. Three light emitting diodes (leds) provide status
indication and in addition a liquid crystal display and a four key pad provide access
to settings and other readable data.

Page 27
4.2 LED indications
The three leds provide the following functions:
Green led indicates the equipment is powered up and running. In most cases
it follows the watchdog relay and it will operate for loss of
auxiliary supply.
Yellow led indicates alarm conditions that have been detected during its self
checking routine. The alarm lamp flashes when the password is
entered (password inhibition temporarily overridden).
Red led indicates a trip that has been issued by the relay. This may be an
externally initiated trip or result from a remote trip command; the
trip flags have to be viewed to decide which.
4.3 Keypad
Four keys on the frontplate enable the user to select the data to be displayed and
settings to be changed. The keys perform the following functions:
[F] – FUNCTION SELECT KEY
[+] – INCREMENT VALUE KEY
[–] – DECREMENT VALUE KEY
[0] – RESET/ESCAPE KEY
4.4 Liquid crystal display
The liquid crystal display (lcd) has two lines, each of sixteen characters, that are
used to display settings, measured values and records which are extracted from the
internal data bank. A backlight is activated when any of the keys on the frontplate is
momentarily pressed. This enables the display to be read in all conditions of ambient
lighting.
The numbers printed on the frontplate just below the display, identify the individual
digits that are displayed for some of the settings, ie. function links, relay masks etc.

Page 28
Section 5. MENU SYSTEM

Internal data is accessed via a MENU table. The table is divided into columns and
rows to form cells, rather like a spreadsheet. Each cell may contain text, values,
limits and functions. The first cell in a column contains a heading which identifies
the data grouped on that column.

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5

F F F F F
LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG

F SHORT F SHORT F SHORT F SHORT F SHORT

Figure 6

Four keys on the frontplate allow the menu to be scanned and the contents
displayed on the liquid crystal display (lcd). The act of depressing any key will
result in the lcd backlight being switched on. The backlight will turn off again if a
key is not pressed again within one minute.
The display will normally be the selected default setting and a momentary press of
the function key [F] will change the display to the heading for the first column,
SYSTEM DATA. Further momentary presses of the [F] key will step down the
column, row by row, so that data may be read. If at any time the [F] key is pressed
and held for one second the cursor will be moved to the top of the next column and
the heading for that column will be displayed. Further momentary presses of the [F]
key will then move down the new column, row by row. In this way the full menu of
the relay may be scanned with just one key and this key is accessible with the cover
in place on the relay.
The other key that is accessible with the cover in place is the reset key [0].
A momentary press of this key will switch on the back light for the lcd without
changing the display in any way. Following a trip the display will change
automatically from the default display to that of the fault flags for that fault and the
red trip led will be lit to draw attention to the fact. The trip led can be reset by
holding down the reset key [0] for at least one second.
The fault information is not lost by this action, it is only cleared from the display.
The fault flags can be read by selecting FAULT RECORDS from the column
headings and stepping down until the flag data (Fn ), the flags for the last fault, are
displayed. The red trip led can be reset by holding the reset key [0] depressed for 1
second whilst this cell is being displayed. The next cell down contains the flags for
the previous fault (Fn–1) and so on to (Fn–4); enough for a full four shot autoreclose
cycle.

Page 29
 The currents and voltages measured during the last fault are also recorded on this
page of the menu together with the circuit breaker opening time. To delete all fault
records the next cell after (Fn–4) must be selected. This cell will read “FLT clear
records = [0]” and to complete the reset action the [0] key must be held depressed
for more than 1 second.
The only setting change that can be made with the cover in place is to reset a cell to
zero or a preset value. Resetting any one cell of a similar group will reset all the
values in that group. For example, if any demand value is displayed and the reset
key [0] is held down for 1 second then all the demand registers will be reset to zero.
Password protected cells such as those containing energy values cannot be reset to
zero unless the password is first entered. To enter the password, or make any other
type of change, the cover has to be removed from the case to gain access to the [+]
and [–] keys that are used to increment or decrement a value.
When a column heading is displayed the [–] key will change the display to the next
column and the [+] key will change the display to the previous column, giving a
faster selection. When a cell containing a setting is displayed the action of pressing
either the [+] or [–] keys will indicate to the processor that a value is to be changed
and a flashing cursor will appear on the display. To escape from the setting mode
without making any change, the [0] key should be depressed for one second.
For instruction on how to change the various types of settings refer to Section 6.2.
5.1 Menu contents
Related data and settings are grouped together in separate columns of the menu.
Each column has a text heading that identifies the data contained in that column.
Each cell may contain text, values, limits and/or a function. The cells are referenced
by the column number/row number. For example 0201 is column 02, row 01.
The full menu is given in the following notes.
The menu cells that are read only are marked [READ] .
Cells that can be set are marked [SET].
Cells that can be reset are marked [RESET].
Cells that are password protected are marked [PWP].

0002 SYS password [PWP]
This password must be entered before the relay configuration is changed. Provision
has been made for the user to change the password, which may consist of four upper
case letters in any combination. In the event of the password becoming lost a
recovery password can be obtained on request, but the request must be accompanied
by a note of the model and serial number of the relay. The recovery password will be
unique to one relay and will not work on any other unless the user set password is
the same.
0003 SYS function links [PWP]
These software function links in the System Data column enable the system options
to be selected, eg. the commands that are responded to over the serial link.
0004 SYS description [PWP]
This is text that describes the relay type, for example “MEASUREMENT CNTR”.
It is password protected and can be changed by the user to a name which may
describe the scheme configuration of the relay if the relay is changed from the
factory configuration.
0005 SYS plant reference [SET]
The plant reference can be entered by the user, but it is limited to 16 characters.
This reference is used to identify the primary plant with which the relay is
associated.
0006 SYS model number [READ]
The mechanical assembly ratings and configuration of the relay are encoded in the
model number which is entered during manufacture. This model number is printed
on the frontplate and should be quoted in any correspondence concerning the
product.
0007 SYS firmware number [READ]
The version of software and memory components is coded into this number.
It cannot be changed.
0008 SYS serial number [READ]
The serial number is the relay identity and encodes also the year of manufacture.
It cannot be changed from the menu.
0009 SYS frequency [SET]
The set frequency from which the relay starts tracking on power-up.

Page 31
000A SYS communication level [READ]
This cell will contain the communication level that the relay will support. It is used
by master station programs to decide what type of commands to send to the relay.
000B SYS relay address [SET]
An address between 1 and 254 that identifies the relay when interconnected by a
communication bus. These addresses may be shared between several communication
buses and therefore not all these addresses will necessarily be available on the bus to
which the relay is connected. The address can be manually set. Address 0 is reserved
for the automatic address allocation feature and 255 is reserved for global messages.
The factory set address is 255.
000C SYS plant status [READ]
Plant status is a 16 bit word which is used to transport plant status information over
the communication network. The word can be tested for changes to plant status.
The various bit pairs are pre-allocated to specific items of plant.
000D SYS control status [READ]
The control status is not used in this product.
000E SYS setting group [READ]
Not used in this product.
000F SYS LS stage [READ]
If link SD1 = 0 this cell will indicate the current state for load shedding by voltage
reduction. The command levels received are latched and displayed in this cell.
<Level 0> = “No load shed” – All stages reset
<Level 1> = “Volt reduction 1” – Relay for stage 1 only picked-up
<Level 2> = “Volt reduction 2” – Relay for stage 2 only picked-up
<Level 3> = “Volt reduction 3” – Relay for stage 3 only picked-up
When the auxiliary supply to the relay is interrupted the states of the relays that
initiate voltage reduction are remembered. This ensures that the level of load
shedding is not caused to change by momentary interruptions of the auxiliary
supply.
The master station is expected to take care of any operational changes to the load
shed level that may have taken place whilst a relay has been out of service, by
resending the last global load shed command.
If link SD1=1 then this display will be the last global load shed trip level that the
relay received and the state of the relay. Example relay set to level 2:
Typical load shedding sequence
“<0> No load shed”
“<1> No load shed”
“<2> LS Trip”
“<3> LS Trip”
“<1> Restoring”
“<1> No load shed”
On loss of the auxiliary supply the memory of having tripped due to a load shed trip
command is erased. This ensures that a relay that has been out of service for some

Page 32
 time will not close a circuit breaker in response to a subsequent load shed command,
as this could be dangerous.
0010 SYS CB control [SET]
This cell contains the functions for control of the circuit breaker. Via this cell the
circuit breaker can be closed and tripped either from the user interface or over a
communication network. To be able to do this the relay must have output relays
allocated to circuit breaker control.
0020 SYS logic stat
Current state of opto-isolated logic control inputs. “1” = energised;
“0” = de-energised.
0021 SYS relay stat
Current state of relay outputs. “1” = set; “0” = reset.
0022 Alarms
Current state of alarm flags (see Section 5.2.11).

5.2 Changing text and settings
To enter the setting mode
Settings and text in certain cells of the menu can be changed via the user interface.
To do this the cover must be removed from the case to gain access to the [+] and [–]
keys. Give the [F] key a momentary press to change from the selected default
display and switch on the backlight; the heading SYSTEM DATA will be displayed.
Use the [+] and [–] keys, or a long [F] key press, to select the column containing the
setting or text cell that is to be changed. Then with the [F] key step down the column
until the contents of the cell are displayed. Press the [+] or [–] key to put the unit
into the setting mode, which will be indicated by a flashing cursor on the bottom line
of the display. If the cell is a read-only cell then the cursor will not appear and the
setting mode will not be accessible.
TO ESCAPE FROM THE SETTING PROCEDURE WITHOUT EFFECTING
ANY CHANGE: HOLD THE [0] KEY DEPRESSED FOR ONE SECOND, THE
ORIGINAL SETTING WILL BE RETAINED.
To accept the new setting
Press the [F] key until the display reads:
Are you sure?
+ = YES – = NO
1. Press the [0] key if you decide not to make any change.
2. Press the [–] key if you want to further modify the data before entry.
3. Press the [+] to accept the change. This will terminate the setting mode.

Page 36
5.2.1 Entering passwords
The [+] and [–] keys can be used to select a character at the position of the cursor.
When the desired character has been set the [F] key can be given a momentary press
to move the cursor to the position for the next character. The process can then be
repeated to enter all four characters that make up the password. When the fourth
character is acknowledged by a momentary press of the [F] key the display will
read:
Are you sure?
+ = YES – = NO
1. Press the [0] key if you decide not to enter the password.
2. Press the [–] key if you want to modify the entry.
3. Press the [+] to enter the password. The display will then show four stars ****
and if the password was accepted the alarm led will flash. If the password is not
accepted a further attempt can be made to enter it, or the [0] key used to escape.
Password protection is reinstated when the alarm led stops flashing, fifteen
minutes after the last key press, or by selecting the PASSWORD cell, or any
column heading, and pressing the [0] key for more than one second.
5.2.2 Changing passwords
After entering the current password and it is accepted, as indicated by the alarm led
flashing, the [F] key is pressed momentarily to move to the next menu cell.
If instead, it is required to enter a new password, the [+] key must be pressed to
select the setting mode. A new password can be entered with the same procedure
described in Section 5.2.1. Only capital (upper case) letters may be used for the
password.
BE SURE TO MAKE A NOTE OF THE PASSWORD BEFORE ENTERING IT
ACCESS WILL BE DENIED WITHOUT THE CORRECT PASSWORD.
5.2.3 Entering text
Enter the setting mode as described in Section 5.2 and move the cursor with the [F]
key to where the text is to be entered or changed. Then using the [+] and [–] key
select the character to be displayed. The [F] key may then be used to move the
cursor to the position of the next character and so on. Follow the instructions in
Section 5.2 to exit from the setting change.
5.2.4 Changing function links
Select the page heading required and step down one line to FUNCTION LINKS and
press either the [+] or [–] to put the unit in a setting change mode. A cursor will
flash on the bottom line at the extreme left position. This is link “F”; as indicated by
the character printed on the frontplate under the display.
Press the [F] key to step along the row of links, one link at a time, until some text
appears on the top line that describes the function of a link. The [+] key will change
the link to a “1” to select the function and the [–] key will change it to a “0” to
deselect it. Not all links can be set, some being factory selected and locked. The
links that are locked in this way are usually those for functions that are not supported
by a particular product, when they will be set to “0”. Merely moving the cursor past
a link position does not change it in any way.

Page 37
5.2.5 Changing setting values
Move through the menu until the cell that is to be edited is displayed. Press the [+]
or [–] key to select the setting change mode. A cursor will flash in the extreme left
hand position on the bottom line of the display to indicate that the setting mode has
been selected. The value will be incremented in single steps by each momentary
press of the [+] key, or if the [+] key is held down the value will be incremented
with increasing rapidity until the key is released. Similarly, the [–] key can be used
to decrement the value. Follow the instructions in Section 5.2 to exit from the setting
change.
Note: When entering CT RATIO or VT RATIO the overall ratio should be
entered, ie. 2000/5A CT has an overall ratio of 400:1. With rated current
applied the displayed value will be 5A when CT RATIO has the default
value of 1:1 and when the RATIO is set to 400:1 the displayed value will be
400 x 5 = 2000A.
To determine the overall VT ratio to enter under PHASE FAULT use phase/phase
values for both the primary and secondary windings.
5.2.6 Setting communication address
The communication address will normally be set to 255, the global address on the
network, to which all products will be set when first supplied. Reply messages are
not issued in response to a global command to prevent all slave units responding at
the same time with resulting contention on the bus. Setting the address to 255 will
ensure that when first connected to the network they will not interfere with
communications on existing installations. The communication address can be
manually set by selecting the appropriate cell for the SYSTEM DATA column,
entering the setting mode and then decrementing or incrementing the address.
It is recommended that the user enters the plant reference in the appropriate cell and
then, if using a Courier master station, sets the address manually to “0”. The master
station will then detect that a new node has been added to the network and
automatically allocate the next available address on the bus and communications
will then be fully established.
5.2.7 Setting control input masks
An eight bit mask is allocated to each function that can be influenced by an external
input applied to one or more of the opto-isolated control inputs. When an input mask
is selected the text on the top line of the display indicates the associated control
function and the bottom line of the display shows a series of “1”s and “0”s for the
selected mask. The numbers printed on the frontplate under the display indicate the
number of the control input (L7 to L0) that is being displayed. A “1” indicates that a
particular input will effect the displayed control function and a “0” indicates that it
will not. The same input may be used to control more than one function.
5.2.8 Setting relay output masks
An eight bit mask is allocated to each protection and control function. When a mask
is selected the text on the top line of the display indicates the associated function and
the bottom line of the display shows a series of “1”s and “0”s for the selected mask.
The numbers printed on the frontplate under the display indicates the number of the
output relay (RLY7 to RLY0) that each bit controls. A “1” indicates that the output
relay will respond to the displayed function and a “0” indicates that it will not.

Page 38
 The mask acts like an “OR” function so that more than one relay may be allocated to
the same function. An output mask may be set to operate the same relay as another
mask so that, for example, one output relay may be arranged to operate for all the
functions required to trip the circuit breaker and another for the functions that are to
initiate autoreclose.
5.2.9 Resetting values and records
Some values and records can be reset to zero or to some predefined value.
To achieve this the menu cell must be displayed, then the [0] key must be held
depressed for at least one second to effect the reset. The fault records are slightly
different because they are a group of settings and to reset these the last cell under
FAULT RECORDS must be selected. This will display:
FLT records
Clear = [0]
To reset the fault records hold the [0] key depressed for more than 1 second.
5.2.10 Resetting TRIP led indication
The trip led can be reset when the flags for the last fault are displayed. They are
displayed automatically after a trip occurs, or can be selected in the fault record
column. The reset is effected by depressing the [0] key for 1 second. Resetting the
fault records will also reset the trip led indication. Set function link SD5 to “1” for
automatic reset of trip led.
5.2.11 Alarm records
The alarm flags are towards the end of the SYSTEM DATA column of the menu
and consist of six characters that may be either “1” or “0” to indicate the set and
reset states of the alarm. The control keys perform for this menu cell in the same
way as they do for Function Links. The cell is selected with the function key [F] and
the setting mode selected by pressing the [+] key to display the cursor. The cursor
will then be stepped through the alarm word from left to right by with each press of
the [F] key and text will be displayed identifying the alarm bit selected.
000001 Unconfig –not operational – needs to be configured
000010 Uncalib –running uncalibrated – calibration error
000100 Setting –running – possible setting error
001000 No service –out of service
010000 No samples –not sampling but not out of service
100000 No Fourier –not performing fourier on the data but not out of service
For the above listed alarms the ALARM led will be continuously lit. However, there
is another form of alarm that causes the ALARM led to flash and this indicates that
the password has been entered to allow access to change protected settings. This is
not generally available as a remote alarm and the alarm flags do not change.
No control will be possible via the key pad if the “Unconfigured” alarm is raised
because the product will be locked in a non-operate state.
5.2.12 Default display (lcd)
The lcd changes to a default display if no key presses are made for fifteen minutes.
The display can be returned to the default value, without waiting the full time out
delay, by selecting any column heading and then holding the [0] reset key depressed

Page 39
 for 1 second, but note that this will also reset the password protection. The default
display can be selected to any of the options listed under LOGIC FUNCTIONS
location 090F by following the change of setting procedure.
When the protection trips the display changes automatically to display the fault
flags. The trip led indication must be reset by pressing the [0] key for 1 second
before the selected default display is returned.
5.3 Disturbance recorders
5.3.1 Recorder control
This cell displays the state of the recorder :
a) RUNNING – recorder storing data (overwriting oldest data)
b) TRIGGERED – recorder stop delay triggered
c) STOPPED – recorder stopped and record ready for retrieval
When this cell is selected, manual control is possible and to achieve this the setting
mode must be selected by pressing the [+] key. A flashing cursor will then appear on
the bottom line of the display at the left-hand side. The [+] key will then select
“RUNNING” and the [–] key will select triggered. When the appropriate function
has been selected the [F] key is pressed to accept the selection and the selected
function will take effect when the [+] key is pressed to confirm the selection.
To abort the selection at any stage press the reset key [0].
5.3.2 Recorder capture
The recorder can capture:
a) SAMPLES – the individual calibrated samples
b) MAGNITUDES – the Fourier derived amplitudes
c) PHASES – the Fourier derived phase angles
No electro-mechanical calibration adjustments are provided, all calibration is
effected in software and all three of the above options are used in the calibration
process. SAMPLES will be the normal choice when used as a disturbance recorder.
5.3.3 Recorder post trigger
The post trigger setting determines the length of the trace that occurs after the stop
trigger is received. This may be set to any value between 1 and 511 samples. When
recording samples the total trace duration is 512/8 = 64 cycles because the interval
between the samples is equivalent to one eighth of a cycle. However, the Fourier
derived values are calculated once per cycle and so the total trace length when
recording these calculated phase or amplitude values is 512 cycles.
5.3.4 Recorder relay trigger
Any, or all, of the output relays may be used as a stop trigger and the trigger may be
taken from either the energisation or the de-energisation of these outputs. The
bottom line of the display for this cell will show a series of 16 characters, each of
which may be set to “1” or “0”. A “1” will select the input and a “0” will deselect it.
The selection is made using the instructions for setting links in Section 5.2.4. The
output relays (RLY0 to RLY7) associated with each digit underlined by the cursor is
shown on the top line of the display. A + preceding it will indicate that the trigger
will occur for energisation and a – will indicate the trigger will occur for de-
energisation.

Page 40
5.3.5 Notes on recorded times
The times recorded for the opto-isolated inputs is the time at which the relay
accepted them as valid and responded to their selected control function. This will be
12.5 ± 2.5ms at 50Hz (10.4 ± 2.1ms at 60Hz) after the opto-input was energised.
The time recorded for the output relays is the time at which the coil of the relay was
energised and the contacts will close approximately 5ms later. Otherwise the time
tags are generally to a resolution of 1ms for events and to a resolution of 1µs for the
samples values.

Section 6. SELECTIVE LOGIC

all shown in the state they would take up with no inputs applied to the protective
relay.
The function links are also implemented in software but have been drawn as
mechanical links. They are shown in the factory default position for the basic factory
configuration. In position “0” the function is deselected and “1” the function is
selected.
Opto-isolated control inputs L7–L0, are represented by an eight bit mask with a
thicker line at the top and left hand side of the mask. The control asserted by the
input is stated above the mask and the position of the “1”s within the mask will
determine the input(s) that asserts the control. More than one control input may be
assigned by the mask and the same control inputs may be used in several masks.
The output relays RLY7 – RLY0 are represented by an eight bit mask with a thicker
line at the bottom and right hand side. A mask is allocated to each protection and

Page 41
 control function that can be assigned to an output relay. The function asserted on the
mask is stated by the text above it and the position of the “1”s in the mask
determines which relay(s) operate in response. More than one output relay may be
assigned by a mask and the same relay may be assigned by several masks.
Figure 8 below shows by example how the input and output masks may be used.
Function 1 is initiated by L0 as indicated by the position of the “1” in the input
mask.

The input masks act as an “OR” gate such that function 2 is initiated by either, or
both, L0 and L1, but L1 will not initiate function 1.
Both functions 3 and 4 can be initiated by L3, but only function 4 is initiated by L5.
Similarly the output masks can be used to direct the output of a function to any
relay.
The relay masks also act as “OR” gates so that several functions can be directed to a
particular output relay. In the example function 1 operates relays 3 and 6, however,
relay 3 is also operated by functions 2, 3, and 4.
6.1 Definite time overcurrent stage
The overcurrent logic provides for a start output when the current threshold (I>) is
exceeded and provides for a trip output if the current threshold (I>) is exceeded for a
time in excess of a set limit (t>). Output relays can be assigned to the start and trip
by means of the relay masks shown in the diagram. The time delay can be blocked
by energising an opto-isolated input to the unit; the selected input must be assigned
in the input mask [Blk t>].
The earth fault element is provided with identical logic but in this case the current

6.2 Auxiliary timers
The three auxiliary timers shown in Figure 10 may be initiated from external inputs
assigned in the respective input masks and which, after the set time delay, operate
the relays assigned in the relay masks.
Setting link PH7 to “1”, timer tAUX2 will be initiated when the currents for all three
phases and earth/ground elements are below the respective undercurrent settings (I<)
to give a time delayed undercurrent output.
Setting link LOG3 to “1”, timer tAUX3 will be initiated when any of the three phase
currents rise above their respective undercurrent threshold (I<). This can be used to
provide a fourth time delayed overcurrent and earth/ground fault stage.

The [RLY Aux 1] input mask can be used to assign one of the control inputs to
initiate the time delay tAUX1. By this means an externally initiated breaker fail
function can be set up. Time delay tAUX1 will be set to the required circuit breaker
fail time setting and a backtrip output will be given via the [RLY Aux1] output
mask. The backtrip output and the breaker fail timers are checked by the
undercurrent element if function link LOG2 has been set to ‘1’.
When the backtrip feature is selected the output relay is assigned via the output
mask [Aux1] and will be recorded in the fault flags as Aux1. The time delay
(tAUX1) will have a typical setting of 200 to 400ms.
Internal initiation of the breaker logic can be obtained by setting the link LOG1 to
‘1’. The breaker fail timer tBF will be started when output relay RLY3 operates.
When the set time delay expires the start relay will first be reset to inhibit any
blocking signals that it generated and the output relay Aux1, if one is selected, will
pick up to backtrip.

Figure 12
For the relay to respond to remote close and trip commands for the circuit breaker, it
is necessary to set link SD2 to “1” and allocate output relays via both the [RLY CB
Close] and [RLY CB Trip] masks. The commands are not sustained for the closing
time of the breaker and so time delays assert the close and trip commands to the
circuit breaker for a set period of time (a pulse output of duration set by time delays
tTRIP and tCLOSE).
RLY 7 is usually allocated to [RLY CB Trip] and RLY 6 would be used for [RLY
CB Close].
Two circuit breaker auxiliary contacts, to indicate the circuit breaker position, must
be connected to the control inputs of the relay. The inputs, assigned by the input
masks [INP CB Closed] and [INP CB Open], are directed to the appropriate two bits
in the plant status word for CB1. The plant status word is used by the master station
to determine where there are circuit breakers on the system which can be controlled
and if they are in the open or closed position. A third opto-input may be used to
indicate when the circuit breaker is connected to the second busbar in a two busbar
system and is assigned by the [INP CB to Bus2] input mask. When this input is
energised the circuit breaker positional information is directed to the two bits in the
plant status word for CB2.
The two input masks [INP LClose CB] and [INP LOpen CB] assign control inputs
for local initiation of the close and trip pulse timers for the circuit breaker. The only
slight disadvantage of tripping the circuit breaker via this path is that a remote trip
indication (RT) will be recorded.
6.4.2 Improving reliability of trip and closing contacts
In the event of the circuit breaker failing to trip, the relay contacts are called upon to
break the trip coil current. The majority of protective relays are not rated for this
duty and their contacts may be damaged as a result. This problem can be eliminated
if a relay with heavy duty contacts is interposed between the output contacts of the

Page 44
 protective relay and the circuit breaker trip circuit. This can be more economic than
the repair costs and the overall fault clearance time need not be increased as a result.
If the interposed relay is connected as a shunt repeat relay, the protection will trip
the circuit breaker directly and then be backed-up by the contacts of the interposing
relay. On breaking, the protective relay will reset first so that the interposing relay
performs the actual circuit interruption.
Similarly the breaking duty of the relay contacts may not be rated for the circuit
breaker closing current and in such cases an interposing relay will be necessary.
6.5 Trip and close test facility
If configured for remote control of the circuit breaker, then a trip or close test can be
carried out from the SYSTEM DATA column of the menu. The control buttons on
the front of the relay provide an input to the trip and close pulse timers in parallel
with the [INP LClose CB] and [INP LTrip CB] masks. If link SD2 is set to ‘0’ the
remote control of the circuit breaker is blocked but local control is still possible.
6.6 Load shedding by tripping less essential loads

SD1
1 Global load shed Load shed logic tRestore
0 Trip Close

RLY CB Trip
SD2 Trip CB tTRIP
1 RLY CB Close
0 Close CB tCLOSE
INP CB Closed

Figure 13

Global load shedding is possible in response to commands via the communication

port. To select this option link SD1 must be set to “1” and to deselect it link SD1
must be set to “0”. Output relays must be selected via the [RLY CB Trip] and [RLY
CB Close] masks to perform the circuit breaker control duty.
An indication is required that the circuit breaker was closed before the trip command
was received, otherwise the circuit breaker will not close to restore load when the
appropriate command level is received. A control input must therefore be assigned
via [INP CB Closed] input mask.
Load shedding by tripping less important loads can also benefit from the control
connections shown in the remote control diagram. Where load restoration is being
used it will be necessary to provide for both trip and closing of the circuit breaker
via the relay. The time delay (tRESTORE) may be set to different values for each
circuit so that the reclosures of the circuit breakers are staggered.
Note: If the auxiliary supply to the relay is removed for a short period of time, the
relay will not remember that it tripped for a load shed command. This will
result in the relay not responding to a restoration command.

Page 45
6.7 Load shedding by voltage reduction
Three of the output relays can be allocated via the [RLY V Reduct 1][RLY V
Reduct 2][RLY V Reduct 3] output masks to give three stages of load shedding.
Typically these outputs would be used to control the load shedding settings of a
voltage regulating relay such as a type MVGC. The relays allocated via these masks
will respond to load shedding commands received via the serial communication port
and the stage of load shedding to which the relay is responding can be viewed under
the SYSTEM DATA heading of the menu. Only the relays selected in one of the
three masks can operate at any one time.

Note: Remote trip does not initiate breaker fail

Not all functions will be used for tripping purposes; some may be used for control or
alarm. The flag latching has been made programmable so that it can be set to suit the
application. The trip led and the flags are latched for operation of relays RLY3 and
RLY7, but the fault records are only initiated by the operation of relay RLY3.
To ensure correct flagging RLY3 should not be used for alarm or control functions.
RLY7 is used for remote tripping of the circuit breaker and when it is not required
for this purpose it may be used as an additional trip relay to provide an extra trip
contact.

Note: To trigger a fault record from an external event an external signal will need
to be routed to RLY3 via an opto-input in mask [INP Aux1],[INP Aux2] or
[INP Aux3] with the respective auxiliary time delay set to zero.
The disturbance recorder may be initiated by the same route if required,
when the selected trigger should be RLY3. There will be a delay of
approximately 15ms before the records are triggered and this must be taken
into account. If the fault is removed before the trigger is accepted the record
will not be stored.
Operation of relay RLY3 or RLY7 will automatically update the circuit breaker trip
counter.

Section 8. COMMISSIONING

8.1 Commissioning preliminaries

When commissioning for the first time the engineers should allow an hour to get
familiar with the menu. Please read Section 9.1.1 which provides simple instructions
for negotiating the menu using the push buttons [F] [+] [–] and [0] on the frontplate.
Individual cells can be viewed and the settable values can be changed by this
method.
If a portable PC is available together with a K-Bus interface unit and the Protection
Access Software, then the menu can be viewed a page at a time to display a full
column of data and text. Settings are also more easily entered and the final settings
can be saved to a file on a disk for future reference, printing a permanent record, or
for downloading to other similar relays. The software and instructions for its use are
provided with the communication interfaces.
8.1.1 Quick guide to local menu control
With the cover in place only the [F] and [0] push button are accessible, so data can
only be read or flag and counter functions reset. No protection or configuration
settings can be changed. In the table [F] long indicates that the key is pressed for 1
second and [F] short for less than 0.5 second. This allows the same key to perform
more than one function.

8.1.2 Terminal allocation

Reference should be made to the diagram supplied with every relay.
The diagram number will be found on the label fixed inside the case on the
left-hand side. Section 3 of this document provides useful notes on connections to
the relay.
8.1.3 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
See recommendations in Section 1 of this user manual before handling module.
8.1.4 Inspection
Carefully examine the module and case to see that no damage has occurred since
installation and visually check that the current transformer shorting switches in the
case are wired into the correct circuit and that they are closed when the module is
withdrawn. Check the serial number on the module, case and cover are identical and
that the model number and rating information is correct.
Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram or scheme
diagram. The relay diagram number appears inside the case on a label at the left
hand side. This diagram shows the functions to which the opto-inputs and output
relays have been allocated and gives the associated terminal numbers. If the user has
reallocated the inputs and outputs a new diagram can be constructed by taking a
copy of the schematic diagram given in this service manual and marking it up as
appropriate to show the I/O allocation and function link positions.

Page 55
 The serial number of the relay appears on the label fitted the inside the case. It is
also marked on the inside of the cover and on the front plate of the relay module.
The serial numbers marked on these three items should match; the only time that
they may not match is when a failed relay module has been replaced for continuity
of protection.
With the relay removed from its case, ensure that the shorting switches between
terminals listed below are closed by checking with a continuity tester between:
Terminals: 21 and 22; 23 and 24; 25 and 26; 27 and 28.
Check also that with the module fitted in its case there is no open circuit between:
Terminals: 21 and 22; 23 and 24; 25 and 26; 27 and 28.
8.1.5 Earthing
Ensure that terminal 1 is solidly connected to the case earthing connection, above
the rear terminal block, and that there is a low resistance connection to earth.
Where several relays are assembled in a tier, check that the earth terminal of each
case in the same tier is interconnected by a copper earth bar.
8.1.6 Main current transformers
DO NOT OPEN CIRCUIT THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A LIVE CT
SINCE THE HIGH VOLTAGE PRODUCED MAY BE LETHAL TO
PERSONNEL AND COULD DAMAGE INSULATION.
8.1.7 Test block
If the MMLG test block is provided, the connections should be checked to the
scheme diagram, particularly that the supply connections are to the live side of
the test block (coloured orange) and with the terminals allocated odd numbers
(1, 3, 5, 7 etc.). The auxiliary supply is normally routed via terminals 13 (+) and
14 (–), but check against the schematic diagram for the installation.
8.1.8 Insulation
Insulation tests only need to be done when required.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the insulation with an electronic or
brushless insulation tester at a dc voltage not exceeding 1000V. Terminals of the
same circuits should be temporarily strapped together.
The main groups on the relays are given below but they may be modified by external
connection as can be determined from the scheme diagram.
a) Current transformer circuits
b) Voltage transformer circuits
c) Auxiliary voltage supply
d) Field voltage output and opto-isolated control inputs
e) Relay contacts
f) Communication port
g) Case earth

8.2 Equipment required
The following equipment is required :
Secondary injection test set.
Multifinger test plug type MMLB01 for use with test block type MMLG.
Continuity tester.
AC voltmeter 0–440V
DC voltmeter 0–250V
AC multi-range ammeter
Phase angle meter or transducer. If necessary suitable current shunt(s) for use with
the phase angle meter.
8.3 Auxiliary supply tests
8.3.1 Auxiliary supply
The relay can be operated from either an ac or a dc auxiliary supply but the
incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified below.

Relay rating (V) DC operating AC operating Maximum crest

range (V) range (VAC) voltage (V)
24/125 19 – 150 50 – 133 190
48/250 33 – 300 87 – 265 380

For secondary injection testing using the test block type MMLG, insert test plug
type MMLB01 with CT shorting links fitted. It may be necessary to link across the
front of the test plug to restore the auxiliary supply to the relay. Isolate the relay trip
contacts and insert the module.
Monitor the state of the watchdog contacts with a continuity checker before and after
the auxiliary voltage is applied. Compare the action of the contacts against the
following table.

Terminals With relay de-energised With relay energised

3 and 5 contact closed contact open
4 and 6 contact open contact closed

With the auxiliary supply connected the power supply should start up, the liquid
crystal display should show the default display and the centre green led should be
illuminated to indicate the relay is healthy. The relay has a non-volatile memory
which remembers the state (ON or OFF) of the led trip indicator when the relay was
last powered and therefore the indicator may be illuminated.
8.3.2 Field voltage
The power supply of the relay generates a field voltage that should be used to
energise the opto-isolated inputs. With the relay energised, measure the field voltage
across terminals 7 and 8. Terminal 7 is positive with respect to terminal 8 and should
be within the range 45V to 60V when no load is connected.

Page 57
8.4 Settings
The commissioning engineer should be supplied with all the required settings for the
application. The settings should be entered via the front keypad or using a portable
PC with a K-Bus connection.
SYSTEM DATA SYS Fn Links
PHASE FAULT (1) PF1 Fn Links
LOGIC FUNCTIONS LOG Fn Links
INPUT MASKS An eight bit mask is allocated to each protection and
control function that can be influenced by an external input
applied to one or more opto-isolated inputs.
RELAY MASK An eight bit mask is allocated to each protection and
control function that can operate one or more outputs.
It is necessary to enter the password before the functions link, I/O masks, VT and
CT ratios can be changed.
For each control function input required, at least one opto-input must be allocated in
the INPUT MASK menu.
For each control function output required, at least one output relay must be allocated
in the RELAY MASK menu.
When a product leaves the factory it is configured with a set of default relay masks,
input masks and function link settings. Any of these settings can be left at the default
values if required.
When the settings have been entered they should be noted down on the
commissioning test record sheet. If the K-Bus communications are being used then
the master station can download the settings to its memory from which they can be
downloaded to other units requiring the same set-up.
8.5 Measurement checks
8.5.1 Current and voltage measurement check
To test the measurement functions a known current, or voltage as appropriate,
should be injected into each phase input. Refer to Section 3 for the appropriate
terminal numbers and relative polarity. The injected voltage or current should be
measured and compared with the value displayed on the measurement centre and the
accuracy checked. Due allowance should be made for instrumentation error of the
portable test equipment when examining the results of the measurement.
With the CT and VT ratio settings under the PHASE FAULT heading of the menu,
set to the overall ratios of the CTs and VTs the displayed measured values and
settings will be in the equivalent primary quantities.
Accuracy should be better than ±5% for voltage of Vn±10% and ±5% for current
from 0.1In to 1.5In for on site measurements.
8.5.2 Power measurement check
Power measurements are the product of voltage and current and will be correct if the
current and voltage measurements are within the accuracy limits. Hence the
direction for power flow is the main feature that should be checked.
With the polarity for voltage and current connections as shown in the table in section
3 and the signing power flow set to Mode 0, power flow from the busbar to the

Page 58
 feeder will be (+) and for the reactive power a (+) sign will indicate a leading power
factor. For other modes of signing power flow refer to Section 2.1.7.1.
For this test the load current may be used if the direction of power flow and power
factor is known.
8.5.3 Power factor
Power Factor is derived from the calculation (VIcos)/(VI) = cos and will therefore
have the same sign as the power and hence indicate the direction of power flow; not
a leading or lagging power factor.
8.6 Undercurrent measurement check
Check the undercurrent elements pick-up (ie. no longer indicate an undercurrent
condition) at the applied setting (I< ± 10%). The elements are more easily tested by
injecting into one phase at a time for this test. The actual accuracy is improved for
settings greater than 0.1In.
8.7 Definite time overcurrent check
Set the default display for the lcd to (Fnow) then check the overcurrent elements
pick-up at the applied setting (I>/Io> ± 5%) and that a start output is given in the
flags, indicated by the display of the letter for the phase that operates.
Check that if the current is held on for a time in excess of the time delay setting t>/
to> an * appears in the display after the phase indication letter. The actual operation
time should be the (set time) ±5%(set time) +(10 to 30ms) for on site measurements.
8.8 Selective logic
For the selective logic checks only the features that are to be used in the application
should be tested. Relay settings must not be changed to enable unused functions to
be tested. For detailed descriptions of the selective logic please refer to Section 6 of
this manual.
8.8.1 Opto-input checks
This test is to check that all the opto-inputs are functioning correctly. To enable
energisation of the opto-inputs terminal 8 should be linked to terminals 52 and 55.
The opto-inputs can then be individually energised by connecting terminal 7 to the
appropriate opto-input listed in the following table.

Opto-input number terminal

L0 46
L1 48
L2 50
L3 45
L4 47
L5 49
L6 51
L7 53
The status of each opto-input can be viewed by displaying [SYS Logic Stat], which
will be found towards the end of the SYSTEM DATA column of the menu.
When each opto is energised one of the characters on the bottom line of the display
will change to indicate the new state of the inputs. The number printed on the

Page 59
 frontplate under the display will identify which opto each character represents.
A “1” indicates an energised state and a “0” indicates a de-energised state.
Note: The opto-isolated inputs may be energised from an external 50V battery in
some installations. Check that this is not the case before connecting the field
voltage otherwise damage to the relay may result.
8.8.2 Auxiliary timers
The auxiliary timers present in the relay should only be tested if they are to be used
in the intended application and if the timer settings are not so high that testing is
impractical.
8.8.2.1 Timer AUX1
To test the tAUX1 time delay an external switch must be connected to start an
external timer interval meter and energise the opto input that activates tAUX1.
The time interval meter must be stopped by the contacts of the relay allocated in
relay mask [RLY tAUX1] when it operates.
If the LOGIC function link LOG2 is set to “1” then current must be injected into the
relay above the undercurrent threshold I< during the test, otherwise the timer will be
blocked from operating. If LOGIC function link LOG2 is set to “0” the current does
not need to be injected into the relay during the test.
The measured time delay should be within the set time tAUX1 ±5% + (0.02 to
0.05)s for on site measurements.
8.8.2.2 Timer AUX2
If the PHASE FAULT function link PH7 is set to “1” or the input mask [INP Aux2]
has been allocated an input, then auxiliary timer 2 should be tested. There are two
ways of testing the timer depending on the relay’s settings.
If the input mask [INP Aux2] has been allocated then an external time interval meter
must be connected so that it starts when the opto-isolated input is energised and
stops when the relay allocated by the relay mask [RLY tAUX2] operates.
If the PHASE FAULT function link PH7 is set to “1” then the timer will be
energised via the undercurrent element when an undercurrent condition exists.
The time interval meter must therefore be started when the current is removed and it
must be stopped when the relay selected by the mask [RLY Aux2] operates.
The measured time delay should be within the set time tAUX1 ±5% + (0.02 to
0.05)s for on site measurements.
8.8.2.3 Timer AUX3
If the LOGIC function link LOG3 is set to “1” or the input mask [INP Aux3] has
been allocated an input, then auxiliary timer 3 should be tested. There are two ways
of testing the timer depending on the relays settings.
If the input mask [INP Aux3] has been allocated then an external time interval meter
must be connected so that it starts when the opto-isolated input is energised and
stops when the relay allocated by the relay mask [RLY tAUX3] operates.
If the LOGIC function link LOG3 is set to “1” then the timer tAUX3 will be
energised via the undercurrent element when the undercurrent threshold is exceeded
(ie. an overcurrent condition). The time interval meter must therefore be started
when the current is applied and it must be stopped when the relay selected by the
mask [RLY Aux2] operates.

Page 60
 The measured time delay should be within the set time tAUX1 ±5% + (0.02 to
0.05)s for on site measurements.
8.8.3 Breaker fail
When LOGIC function link LOG2 is set to “1” the time delay tAUX1 is initiated via
an opto-input and checked by the undercurrent element to provide a backtrip output
to trip an up-stream circuit breaker. This constitutes the breaker fail function.
It should be tested by energising the undercurrent element of any one phase with a
current above its setting threshold I<. The output relay allocated to initiate the
backtripping via output mask RLY AUX1 should operate after the delay set for
tAUX1 + (15 to 30)ms.
8.8.4 Circuit breaker control
Provided the relay is wired to control a circuit breaker a manual test can be
performed via the user interface of the relay as a check that the connection is
functioning correctly.
8.8.4.1 CB trip test
The relay mask [CB Trip] must be assigned to the output relays that are to trip the
circuit breaker. This will not enable the remote control of the circuit breaker
provided system data links 1 and 2 are set to “0”. The circuit breaker trip time delay
(tTRIP) under the LOGIC heading, should be set to a value appropriate to the
application.
Select the SYSTEM DATA heading from the menu.
Step down the column with short [F] key presses until the display reads :
SYS CB control
No operation
Press the [+] key and the cursor will flash on the bottom line of the display.
Press the [+] key once again and the bottom line of the display will change to TRIP.
Press the [F] key and the prompt will be displayed :
Are you sure?
+ = YES – = NO
Press the [0] key to abort.
[–] key to change option.
[+] key to execute command.
After executing the open command the output relay assigned to trip the circuit
breaker by the [CB Open] relay mask, will operate for the trip time (tTRIP).
During the trip test the status of this relay should be monitored to ensure it operates
correctly.
8.8.4.2 CB close test
The relay mask [CB Close] must be assigned to the output relays that are to trip the
circuit breaker. This will not enable the remote control of the circuit breaker
provided the System Data Link 2 is set to “0”. The circuit breaker close time delay
(tCLOSE), under the LOGIC heading, should be set to a value appropriate to the
particular application.

Page 61
 Select the SYSTEM DATA heading from the menu.
Step down the column with short [F] key presses until the display reads :
SYS CB control
No Operation
Press the [+] key and the cursor will flash on the bottom line of the display.
Press the [+] key once again and the bottom line of the display will change to TRIP
and press again to display CLOSE.
Press the [F] key and the prompt will be displayed :
Are you sure?
+ = YES – = NO
Press the [0] key to abort.
[–] key to change option.
[+] key to execute command.
After executing the close command the output relay assigned to close the circuit
breaker by the [CB Close] relay mask, will operate for the close time delay
(tCLOSE). During the close test the status of this relay should be monitored to
ensure it operates correctly.
8.9 On load measurement tests
Measure the secondary CT currents and if applicable, the secondary VT voltages.
Compare the values of the secondary quantities with the relays measured values,
which can be found in MEASUREMENTS (1). If the CT and VT ratios are set to 1:1
then the values will be within ±5% of the secondary quantities, if the CT and VT
ratios are not set to 1:1, then the measurement values will be equal to the secondary
values multiplied by the appropriate transformer ratios.

Page 62
Section 9. PROBLEM SOLVING

9.1 Password lost or not accepted

Relays are supplied with the password set to AAAA.
Only uppercase letters are accepted.
Password can be changed by the user see Section 5.2.2
There is an additional unique recovery password associated with the unit which can
be supplied by the factory, or service agent, if given details of its serial number.
The password will be found in the system data column of the menu and should
correspond to the number on the label at the top right hand corner of the frontplate
of the unit. If they differ, quote the one in the system data column.
9.2 Function links cannot be changed
Enter the password as these menu cells are protected.
Links are not selectable if associated text is not displayed.
9.3 Alarms
If the watchdog relay operates, first check that the relay is energised from the
auxiliary supply. If it is, then try to determine the cause of the problem by examining
the alarm flags towards the bottom of the LOGIC column of the menu. This will not
be possible if the display is not responding to key presses.
Having attempted to determine the cause of the alarm it may be possible to return
the unit to an operable state by resetting it. To do this, remove the auxiliary power
supply for 10s, or so. Then re-establish the supplies and the unit should in most
cases return to an operating state.
Recheck the alarm status if the alarm led is still indicating an alarm state.
The following notes will give further guidance.
9.3.1 Watchdog alarm
The green led will usually follow the operation of the watchdog relay in either of the
above two cases.
There is no shorting contact across the case terminals connected to the “break”
contact of the watchdog relay. Therefore, the indication for a failed/healthy relay
will be cancelled when the relay is removed from its case.
If the relay is still functioning, the actual problem causing the alarm can be found
from the alarm records in the LOGIC column of the menu.
9.3.2 Unconfigured or uncalibrated alarm
For a CONFIGURATION alarm the protection is stopped and no longer performing
its intended function. For an UNCALIBRATED alarm the protection will still be
operational but there will be an error in its calibration that will require attention.
It may be left running provided the error does not cause any grading problems.
To return the unit to a serviceable state the initial factory configuration will have to
be reloaded and recalibrated. It is recommended that the work be carried out at the
factory, or entrusted to a recognised service centre.

Page 63
9.3.3 Setting error alarm
A SETTING alarm indicates that the area of non-volatile memory where the selected
protection settings are stored, has been corrupted. The current settings should be
checked against those applied at the commissioning stage or any later changes that
have been made.
If a personal computer (PC) is used during commissioning then it is recommended
that the final settings applied are copied to a floppy disc with the serial number of
the relay used as the file name. The setting can then be readily loaded back into the
relay if necessary, or to a replacement relay.
9.3.4 “No service” alarm
This alarm flag can only be observed when the relay is in the calibration or
configuration mode when the protection program will be stopped.
9.3.5 Fault flags will not reset
These flags can only be reset when the flags Fn are being displayed or by resetting
the fault records, see Section 5.2.10.
9.4 Records
9.4.1 Problems with event records
Fault records will only be generated if RLY3 is operated as this relay is the trigger to
store the records.
Fault records can be generated in response to another protection operating if RLY3
is operated by one of its trip contacts via an auxiliary input. This will result in the
fault values, as measured by the KMPC, being stored at the instant RLY3 resets. The
flag display will include a flag to identify the auxiliary input that initiated the record.
Fault currents recorded are lower than actual values: as the fault is interrupted before
measurement was completed.
Few fault records can be stored when changes in state of logic inputs and relay
outputs are stored in the event records. These inputs and outputs can generate a lot
of events for each fault occurrence and limit the total number of faults that can be
stored. Setting System Data Link 7 to “0” will turn off this feature and allow the
maximum number of fault records to be stored.
The event records are erased if the auxiliary supply to the KMPC is lost for a period
exceeding the hold-up time of the internal power supply.
Events can only be read via the serial communication port and are not available on
the lcd.
Any spare opto-inputs may be used to log changes of state of external contacts in the
event record buffer. The opto-input does not have to be assigned to a particular
function in order to achieve this.
The oldest event is overwritten by the next event to be stored when the buffer
becomes full.
When a master station has successfully read a record it usually clears it
automatically and when all records have been read the event bit in the status byte is
set to “0” to indicate that there are no longer any records to be retrieved.

Page 64
9.4.2 Problems with disturbance records
Only one record can be held in the buffer and the recorder must be reset before
another record can be stored. Automatic reset can be achieved by setting function
link SD6 to 1. It will then reset the recorder 3s after current, above the undercurrent
setting, has been restored to the protected circuit.
The disturbance records are erased if the auxiliary supply to the relay is lost for a
period exceeding the hold-up time of the internal power supply.
Disturbance records can only be read via the serial communication port. It is not
possible to display them on the lcd.
No trigger selected to initiate the storing of a disturbance record.
Disturbance recorder automatically reset on restoration of current above the
undercurrent setting for greater than 3s. Change function link SD6 to 0 to select
manual reset.
Post trigger set to maximum value and so missing the fault.
When a master station has successfully read a record it will clear it automatically
and the disturbance record bit in the status byte will then be set to “0” to indicate
that there is no longer a record to be retrieved.
9.5 Circuit breaker maintenance records
When a replacement relay is fitted it may be desirable to increment the CB
maintenance counters to the values of that on the old unit. The counter for the
number of circuit breaker operations can be incremented manually by pulsing an
opto-input, that operates relay RLY3, the required number of times.
The circuit breaker trip time for the last fault cannot be cleared to zero. This is to
enable the master station to interrogate the relay for this value as a supervisory
function.
The circuit breaker maintenance counters are not incremented when another
protection trips the circuit breaker. Add a trip input from the protection to an
auxiliary input of the KMPC and arrange for relay RLY3 or RLY7 to operate
instantaneously in response to the input.
9.6 Communications
Address cannot be automatically allocated if the remote change of setting has been
inhibited by function link SD0. This must be first set to “1”, alternatively the address
must be entered manually via the user interface of the KMPC.
Address cannot be allocated automatically unless the address is first manually set to
0. This can also be achieved by a global command including the serial number of the
relay.
Communication address set to 255, the global address for which no replies are
permitted.
9.6.1 Measured values do not change
Values in the MEASUREMENTS (1) and MEASUREMENTS (2) columns are snap
shots of the values at the time they were requested. To obtain a value that varies with
the measured quantity it should be added to the poll list as described in the
communication manual.

Page 65
9.6.2 Relay no longer responding
Check if other devices further along the bus are responding and if so power down
the KMPC for 10s and then re-energise to reset the communication processor.
This should not be necessary as the reset operation occurs automatically when the
relay detects a loss of communication.
If relays further along the bus are not communicating, check to find out which are
responding towards the master station. If some are responding then the position of
the break in the bus can be determined by deduction. If none are responding then
check for data on the bus or reset the communication port driving the bus with
requests.
Check there are not two devices with the same address on the bus.
9.6.3 No response to remote control commands
Check that the relay is not inhibited from responding to remote commands by
observing the system data function link settings. If so reset as necessary; a password
will be required.
System data function links can not be set over the communication link if the remote
change of settings has been inhibited by setting system data function link SD0 to 0.
First reset SD0 to 1 manually via the user interface on the KMPC.
KMPC is not identified in the circuit breaker control menu of the Courier master
station if two auxiliary circuit breaker contacts have not been connected to opto-
inputs of the relay to indicate its position via the plant status word. Check input
mask settings and the connections to the auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker.

Section 10. MAINTENANCE

10.1 Remote testing

The KMPC is self-supervising and so will require less maintenance. Most problems
will result in an alarm so that remedial action can be taken. However, some periodic
tests could be done to ensure that the relay is functioning correctly. If the relay can
be communicated with from a remote point, via its serial port, then some testing can
be carried out without actually visiting the site.
10.1.1 Measurement accuracy
The values measured can be compared with known system values to check that they
are in the approximate range that is expected. If they are, then the analogue/digital
conversion and calculations are being performed correctly.
10.1.2 Trip test
If the relay is configured to provide remote control of the circuit breaker then a trip
test can be performed remotely in two ways:
1. Measure the load current in each phase and reduce the phase fault setting of the
relay to a known value that is less than the load current. The relay should trip in
the appropriate time for the given multiple of setting current.
The settings can then be returned to their usual value and the circuit breaker
reclosed.

Page 66
 Note: If the second group of settings are not being used for any other purpose
they could be used for this test by having a lower setting selected and
issuing a command to change the setting group that is in use to initiate
the tripping sequence.
2. If the KMPC is connected for remote control of the circuit breaker then a trip/
close cycle can be performed. This method will not check as much of the
functional circuit of the unit as the previous one but it will not need the settings
of the relay to be changed.
If a failure to trip occurs the relay status word can be viewed, whilst the test is
repeated, to check that the output relay is being commanded to operate. If it is not
responding then an output relay allocated to a less essential function may be
reallocated to the trip function to effect a temporary repair, but a visit to site may be
needed to effect a wiring change.
10.1.3 CB maintenance
Maintenance records for the circuit breaker can be obtained at this time by reading
the appropriate data in the MEASUREMENT(2) and the FAULT RECORDS
columns.
10.2 Local testing
When testing locally similar tests may be carried out to check for correct functioning
of the relay.
10.2.1 Alarms
The alarm status led should first be checked to identify if any alarm conditions exist.
The alarm records can then be read to identify the nature of any alarm that may
exist.
10.2.2 Measurement accuracy
The values measured can be checked against known values injected into the KMPC
via the test block, if fitted, or injected directly into the relay terminals. Suitable test
methods will be found in the Section 8 of this manual. These tests will prove the
calibration accuracy is being maintained.
10.2.3 Trip test
If the KMPC is configured to provide a “trip test” via the user interface of the relay
then this should be performed to test the output trip relays. If the KMPC is
configured for remote control of the circuit breaker the “trip test” will initiate the
remote CB trip relay and not the main trip relay that the protection uses. In which
case the main trip relay should be tested by injecting a current above the protection
setting so that operation occurs.
If an output relay is found to have failed, an alternative relay can be reallocated until
such times as a replacement can be fitted.
10.2.4 CB maintenance
Maintenance records for the circuit breaker can be obtained at this time by reading
the appropriate data in the MEASUREMENT(2) and the FAULT RECORDS
columns.
10.2.5 Additional tests
Additional tests can be selected from the commissioning instructions Section 8 as
required.

Page 67
10.3 Method of repair
Please read the handling instructions in Section 1 before proceeding with this work.
This will ensure that no further damage is caused by incorrect handling of the
electronic components.
10.3.1 Replacing a pcb
a) Replacement of user interface
Withdraw the module from its case.
Remove the four screws that are placed one at each corner of the frontplate.
Remove the frontplate.
Lever the top edge of the user interface board forwards to unclip it from its
mounting.
Then pull the pcb upwards to unplug it from the connector at its lower edge.
Replace with a new interface board and assemble in the reverse order.
b) Replacement of main processor board
This is the pcb at the extreme left of the module, when viewed from the front.
To replace this board:
First remove the screws holding the side screen in place. There are two screws
through the top plate of the module and two more through the base plate.
Remove screen to expose the pcb.
Remove the two retaining screws, one at the top edge and the other directly
below it on the lower edge of the pcb.
Separate the pcb from the sockets at the front edge of the board. Note that they
are a tight fit and will require levering apart, taking care to ease the connectors
apart gradually so as not to crack the front pcb card. The connectors are designed
for ease of assembly in manufacture and not for continual disassembly of the
unit.
Reassemble in the reverse of this sequence, making sure that the screen plate is
replaced with all four screws securing it.
c) Replacement of auxiliary expansion board
This is the second board in from the left hand side of the module.
Remove the processor board as described above in b).
Remove the two securing screws that hold the auxiliary expansion board in
place.
Unplug the pcb from the front bus as described for the processor board and
withdraw.
Replace in the reverse of this sequence, making sure that the screen plate is
replaced with all four screws securing it.
10.3.2 Replacing output relays and opto-isolators
PCBs are removed as described in 11.3.1 b and c. Replaced in the reverse order.
Calibration is not usually required when a pcb is replaced unless either of the two
boards that plug directly on to the left hand terminal block are replaced, as these
directly affect the calibration.

Page 68
 Note that this pcb is a through hole plated board and care must be taken not to
damage it when removing a relay for replacement, otherwise solder may not flow
through the hole and make a good connection to the tracks on the component side of
the pcb.
10.3.3 Replacing the power supply board
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the top plate of the
module.
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the bottom plate of
the module.
Unplug the back plane from the power supply pcb.
Remove the securing screw at the top and bottom of the power supply board.
Withdraw the power supply board from the rear, unplugging it from the front bus.
Reassemble in the reverse of this sequence.
10.3.4 Replacing the back plane (size 6 case)
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the top plate of the
module.
Remove the two screws securing the right hand terminal block to the bottom plate of
the module.
Unplug the back plane from the power supply pcb.
Twist outwards and around to the side of the module.
Replace the pcb and terminal block assembly.
Reassemble in the reverse of this sequence.
10.4 Recalibration
Whilst recalibration is not usually necessary it is possible to carry it out on site, but
it requires test equipment with suitable accuracy and a special calibration program to
run on a PC. This work is not within the capabilities of most people and it is
recommended that the work is carried out by an authorised agency.
After calibration settings for the application will need to be re-entered and so it is
useful if a copy of the settings are available on a floppy disk. Although this is not
essential it can reduce the down time of the system.
