    1. INTRODUCTION

    Over current & Earth fault Relay model MC31A is numerictype, non- directional 3 phase Over current relay. It is suitable

    for Over current & Earth fault protection schemes in LV, MV

    and HV power distribution systems. It is also suitable for

    applications such as providing selective protection for overheadand underground feeders, AC machines, Transformers etc.

    Its Micro controller based design offers a wide range of field

    selectable Trip time characteristics. It also provides starter andtime delayed programmable outputs for Over Current as well as

    Earth Fault.

    The relay has a unique provision where by, it can be made

    suitable for operation from either a 1A CT secondary or 5A

    CT secondary - this CT rating can be selected in the field

    through menu operations.

    2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

    2.1 Non Volatile Memory

    The relay has EEPROM, which retains the programmed pickupvalues, characteristics, Trip time settings and recorded

    parameters even when the auxiliary supply is switched off.

    2.2 Auxiliary Power Supply RangeThe relay has wide range AC/DC auxiliary power supply. There

    are two models available.

    Type 1: 24V to 110V AC / DC +/- 15 %

    Type 2: 95V to 240V AC / DC +/- 15 %

    The type of the power supply is highlighted in the wiringdiagram label. Before energizing the relay, check the power

    supply voltage is within limits and wiring is done as per the

    wiring diagram..2

    2.3 Relay outputs

    MC31A relay has 5 relay outputs namely R1 to R5.

    Relays R1 to R4 can be configured for any one or more

    protection functions. R1 relay can be programmed to operate asself-reset type or manual reset type. R1 relay cannot be assigned

    to starter functions. Also, any relay assigned to starter functionscan not be assigned to any other protection.

    The relay R5 is meant for providing alarm for internal fault

    conditions. It will be always energized during normal operation

    and de-energized when the relay is in Program mode or in theevent of auxiliary control supply failure or any malfunction

    detected inside the relay.

    Note: All the output relays will de-energize when auxiliary

    supply is switched off even in hand reset mode. However, the

    output relay will regain the original status after the power up

    condition when supply is restored.

    2.4 Starter Relay

    The over current and earth fault function follows the selectedcharacteristic curve for its timing. Except R1 relay, other outputs

    can be programmed for instantaneous or time delayed operation

    of low set in over current or earth fault mode. When theprotection function is programmed as instantaneous, this output

    is useful as an alarm relay or a blocking output to any upstream

    over current relay. It should not be associated to trip the

    breaker. The breaker trip function has to be achieved by the

    time delayed contact of protection function.

    2.5 CT Rating

    The default setting of the CT rating is 1 Amp (i.e.) P1E1.The CT rating of the unit can be changed in the programming

    (ProG) menu and can be viewed in the display setting (dSEt)

    menu..3

  • 8/13/2019 mc31a_Rev5

    6/33

    -3-

    The display codes for various CT ratings are:

    P5E5 - Phase CT 5 A and Earth CT 5A

    P1E1 - Phase CT 1 A and Earth CT 1A

    P1E5 - Phase CT 1 A and Earth CT 5A

    P5E1 - Phase CT 5 A and Earth CT 1A

    Note: After the modifications in the CT ratings, mark the

    present CT ratings on the label stuck on the right side of the

    unit.

    2.6 Trip Time Characteristic Curves

    Algorithms for time current curves

    Algorithms for different Time current curves are given below:

    t(I) = [ A ] * TMS t(I) = Trip time[ (I/Is)a 1 ] I = Fault current

    Is = Setting current

    TMS = Time Multiplier Setting

    Curve Name A a

    Normal Inverse 1.3 Sec 0.0613 0.02

    Normal Inverse 3 sec 0.1414 0.02Very inverse 13.5 1

    Extremely Inverse 80 2

    2.7 Current measurements

    The relay shows RMS values of three phase & Earth leakage

    currents at regular interval on display in scroll mode. (If the

    current is more than 9999 A, then relay will display - - - -').

    2.8 Event Recordings

    The relay records following parameters.

    1. Trip data of last 5 tripping. The Trip data includes Trip

    cause (over current lowset, Earth Fault lowset etc.) and overcurrent values when the fault occurred.

    2. The number of Tripping due to Over current & Earth fault.

    3. The RMS current value measured during Switch-ON of

    Feeder and highest current measured during its ONcondition. These values are integrated over a period of 100

    millisec.

    2.9 Diagnostics

    The relay has a built-in watchdog facility, which monitors

    correct operation of program flow. During Power-ON a detailed

    test is conducted to check EEPROM, RAM & EPROM andother parts of the relay. Additionally, diagnostic routines are

    executed continuously to verify memory contents.

    Any time of relays normal operation, a test can be initiatedmanually by pressing the Push button. This test has the option of

    including or excluding trip relay operations.

    Under any fault condition, the relay will show the fault code

    Error in the seven-segment display, the Error LED will glow

    and relay R5 will de-energize.

    2.10 Signalization

    The 4 seven-segment displays and 4-phase indicator LEDs show

    parameter settings, current values etc. The Trip window at thebottom has 4 LEDs for R, Y, B, E phases. They indicate the

    phase on which fault has occurred..5

  • 8/13/2019 mc31a_Rev5

    8/33

    -5-

    These LEDs will start flashing when a fault has developed and

    will glow steady when the trip has occurred. The LED indicationcan be reset by a Reset button. However reset is not possible

    when fault is present. The Reset button also resets the R1 relay

    if it is programmed in Hand reset mode.

    2.11 Reset timeThe relay has a unique facility a programmable reset time for

    the lowset fault is provided in the relay. If fault current has

    appeared for a duration less than the set trip time delay, relay

    will hold the elapsed trip time for the duration of theprogrammed reset time. If the relay now senses the fault within

    the reset time, it will run the timer only for the remaining

    duration and will give the trip time command to the breaker.After issuing the trip command the relay will reset immediately

    irrespective of the reset time.

    3. INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

    3.1 Preliminary checks

    Relay packing consists of

    1. Relay MC31A

    2. Mounting clamps

    3. Instruction Manual4. Test certificate

    Check the relay for any obvious damage. Please inform nearest

    L & T office or dealer in case of any damage. Check the

    Auxiliary Supply Range, Current Setting Range and RatedCurrent for which the unit has been configured. This is indicated

    on a label fixed to one side of the relay, which also shows

    external wiring details. Ensure that these specifications are asper your order.

    Remove the protective cover from the terminal block by

    removing two screws. Connect suitable auxiliary supply

    between terminal 25 and 26. Switch ON the supply, the displayand LEDs all will blink once and the display will show model

    number (31A) and Software version (u _.__) of the relay . After

    this the relay will enter into current measurement mode.

    This completes the preliminary check. Disconnect the auxiliarysupply and fix the protective covers on front panel and terminal

    block.

    3.2 Mounting and Wiring:

    Relay MC31A is designed for flush mounting on the panel.Refer Fig.3 for panel cutout dimensions and space required

    behind the panel. Insert the relay through the panel cutout and

    hold it firmly against the panel. Fix the mounting clamps on top& bottom side of the relay. Tighten the screws on the mounting

    bracket..7

  • 8/13/2019 mc31a_Rev5

    10/33

    -7-

    Wire the relay terminals as shown in the wiring diagram (Refer

    Fig.2). Relay terminals are suitable for 2.5 sq mm. lugs. Fix theprotective cover back on the terminal block with the help of two

    screws after completing the wiring.

    NOTE:

    1. ENSURE PROPER EARTH CONNECTION TO THERELAY

    2. IT IS RECOMMEDED TO REMOVE THE RELAYFROM THE PANEL DURING TRANSPORTATION.

    3.3 Testing

    A detailed testing of the relay can be initiated manually by

    running the 'TEST' menu. The testing can be done in two ways

    as follows.

    a) The "diSP" test, which does not trip the output relays.b) The "rly" test, which also trips all the relay outputs.

    This test will not trip output relays when current input issensed.

    In the event of a relay failure detected during testing, the fault

    code will be displayed and "Error" LED will light up. The

    internal fault relay R5 will de-energize.

    3.4 Handling Precautions

    In case of relay malfunction, the electronic module alone can be

    removed and replaced without removing the complete relay

    assembly with its housing from the panel. Care has to be

    exercised while handling the modules. The electroniccomponents can be damaged by electrostatic discharge while

    handling the module. Hence care has to be taken while handling

    the cards as mentioned in the following page :

    .8

  • 8/13/2019 mc31a_Rev5

    11/33

    -8-

    a) Before removing the module ensure that you are at the

    same electrostatic potential as the equipment by touchingthe same.

    b) Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of

    the printed circuit board. Avoid touching the electronic

    components, printed circuits and connectors.

    c) Do not pass the module to any person without firstensuring that both of you are at the same potential.

    Shaking hands achieves equipotential.

    d) Place the module on an antistatic surface, on a

    conducting surface, which is at the same potential as

    yourself.

    e) Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.

    3.5 Fault Detection & Repair

    Internal settings and components in the relay should not be

    altered. For repair please contact nearest L&T sales office.

    3.6 Instructions for Draw-out & Plug-in

    Refer to the following diagram for relay Draw-out & Plug-in.

    The relay has four locking screws. These are normally inlocked position (i.e) the slots in the screws will be vertical.

    Draw-out operation:

    Rotate the four locking screws by 90 Degrees. Now the screws

    will be in unlocked position, that is, the slots in the screws willbe in horizontal position as shown in the diagram.

    Hold the label handle by the fingers and pull out the module.

    .9

    -9-

    The relay has CT shorting facility and hence the CT secondary

    will be automatically in shorted condition when the module isplugged out.

    Plug-in operation:

    First ensure the four locking screws are unlocked, by verifying

    the screwdriver mark is in horizontal position.

    Position the module such that it gets engaged to the card guidesin the housing. Push the module into the connector. Push all four

    screws and rotate by 90 degrees. They will get locked to the

    housing.

    .10

    ! WARNINGWhile plugging the module, If any of the Locking screws are in

    locked position (i.e. the screwdriver mark in the screw isvertical), the module can not be plugged fully. In such a case, The

    CT shorting may not have opened. To avoid this problem, ensure

    the screws are in unlocked position while pushing the module.

    4.4 Recording of current Values

    Recording of Maximum and Starting Current values:

    The relay records the current values of the three phase and Earthcurrents during Switch-on of the feeder. Every new Switch-on

    value will overwrite on the old values. This current value is an

    integrated RMS value of first five current cycles. The highest

    current values in a 5 cycle-integration period is displayed.

    In addition to displaying this switch on value, the relay records

    highest current value occurred during the normal ON period ofthe feeder. These current values will be overwritten only when a

    higher current value is measured. A switch-OFF and switch-

    ON of the relay will not erase this value.

    The recordings of Maximum and Starting current value isselected in the menu for d.cur (Display Maximum current

    values).

    Modification for 2NO 2 NC type of MC31A

    On special request MC31A relay can be supplied where the

    relay will have 2 N/O + 2 N/C contacts ( instead of 4 N/O)

    The 2 NO-2 NC type of MC31A has only three output relays .One among the three , ( R5) is used for indicating the internal

    fault condition. The other two relays R1 and R3 have one NOoutput and one NC output. Both the relays can be set in either

    Hand reset mode or self-reset mode. Programming of these

    relays is not possibleas both trip when the fault occurs (eitherEarth fault or Over current) . Below given modification helps to

    set the relays in hand or self-reset mode.

    SECONDARY CURRENT INJECTION TEST

    FOR MC31A:

    Test Equipment: Single phase Current injection set

    Connections: Connect auxiliary supply between terminal 25

    and 26 (as indicated in wiring diagram). Connect terminals

    1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 in series so that same current will pass

    through all the 4 CTs.

    Power on: Switch ON the supply, the display and LEDs will

    blink once and the display will show model number (31A), "

    Software version (u _.__) in the relay . After this the relay willenter into current measurement mode.

    Display & earth fault trip test: Ensure the relay settings

    are as per Default settings given in the setting form. Pass 2A(0.4A for 1A relay) through the relay. Now the relay will startdisplaying the current in scrolling mode. Same time earth fault

    trip led will start flashing and will become permanently ON

    after 4.39 sec.

    Over current trip test: Pass 10A(2A for 1A relay)through the relay. Now all the phase trip LEDs will start

    flashing indicating the presence of fault. This will continue up to

    4.39 sec and later all the trip LEDs will become permanentlyON and relay R1 will trip. Check the continuity between the

    terminals 9 and 10 to ensure tripping of R1. Remove the currentand press "reset" button to reset the relay. Now LEDs willbecome OFF.

    This completes the secondary current injection test. Disconnect

    auxiliary supply and other CT connections. Fix the protective

    covers back on front panel and terminal block...29
