Pxxx/EN SS/G11
Safety Section
Page 5/8
To ensure that wires are correctly terminated the correct crimp terminal and tool
for the wire size should be used.
The equipment must be connected in accordance with the appropriate connection
diagram.
Protection Class I Equipment
-
Before energizing the equipment it must be earthed using the protective

conductor terminal, if provided, or the appropriate termination of the
supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.
The protective conductor (earth) connection must not be removed since

the protection against electric shock provided by the equipment would be
lost.
When the protective (earth) conductor terminal (PCT) is also used to

terminate cable screens, etc., it is essential that the integrity of the
protective (earth) conductor is checked after the addition or removal of
such functional earth connections. For M4 stud PCTs the integrity of the
protective (earth) connections should be ensured by use of a locknut or
similar.
The recommended minimum protective conductor (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm

(3.3 mm for North America) unless otherwise stated in the technical data section
of the equipment documentation, or otherwise required by local or country wiring
regulations.
The protective conductor (earth) connection must be low-inductance and as short
as possible.
All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that
are pre-wired, but not used, should preferably be grounded when binary inputs
and output relays are isolated. When binary inputs and output relays are
connected to common potential, the pre-wired but unused connections should be
connected to the common potential of the grouped connections.
Before energizing the equipment, the following should be checked:
-
Voltage rating/polarity (rating label/equipment documentation),
CT circuit rating (rating label) and integrity of connections,
Protective fuse rating,
Integrity of

Accidental touching of exposed terminals

If working in an area of restricted space, such as a cubicle, where there is a risk of
electric shock due to accidental touching of terminals which do not comply with
IP20 rating, then a suitable protective barrier should be provided.
Equipment use
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Removal of the equipment front panel/cover
Removal of the equipment front panel/cover may expose hazardous live parts,
which must not be touched until the electrical power is removed.
Pxxx/EN SS/G11
Page 6/8
Safety Section
UL and CSA/CUL Listed or Recognized equipment
To maintain UL and CSA/CUL Listing/Recognized status for North America the
equipment should be installed using UL or CSA Listed or Recognized parts for
the following items: connection cables, protective fuses/fuseholders or circuit
breakers, insulation crimp terminals and replacement internal battery, as
specified in the equipment documentation.
For external protective fuses a UL or CSA Listed fuse shall be used. The Listed
type shall be a Class J time delay fuse, with a maximum current rating of 15 A
and a minimum d.c. rating of 250 Vd.c., for example type AJT15.
Where UL or CSA Listing of the equipment is not required, a high rupture
capacity (HRC) fuse type with a maximum current rating of 16 Amps and a
minimum d.c. rating of 250 Vd.c. may be used, for example Red Spot type NIT or
TIA.
Equipment operating conditions
The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.
Current transformer circuits
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced
may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Generally, for safety,
the secondary of the line CT must be shorted before opening any connections to
it.
For most equipment with ring-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block
for current transformer termination has automatic CT shorting on removal of the
module. Therefore external shorting of the CTs may not be required, the
equipment documentation should be checked to see if this applies.
For equipment with pin-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for
current transformer termination does NOT have automatic CT shorting on removal
of the module.
External resistors, including voltage dependent resistors (VDRs)
Where external resistors, including voltage dependent resistors (VDRs), are fitted
to the equipment, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns, if touched.
Battery replacement
Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommended
type and be installed with the correct polarity to avoid possible damage to the
equipment, buildings and persons.
Insulation and dielectric strength testing
Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the
end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to
discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.
Insertion of modules and pcb cards
Modules and PCB cards must not be inserted into or withdrawn from the
equipment whilst it is energized, since this may result in damage.
Insertion and withdrawal of extender cards
Extender cards are available for some equipment. If an extender card is used,
this should not be inserted or withdrawn from the equipment whilst it is energized.
This is to avoid possible shock or damage hazards. Hazardous live voltages may
be accessible on the extender card.
Pxxx/EN SS/G11
Safety Section
Page 7/8
External test blocks and test plugs
Great care should be taken when using external test blocks and test plugs such
as the MMLG, MMLB and MiCOM P990 types, hazardous voltages may be
accessible when using these. *CT shorting links must be in place before the
insertion or removal of MMLB test plugs, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
*Note: When a MiCOM P992 Test Plug is inserted into the MiCOM P991 Test
Block, the secondaries of the line CTs are automatically shorted, making
them safe.
Fiber optic communication
Where fiber optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed
directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or
signal level of the device.
Cleaning
The equipment may be cleaned using a lint free cloth dampened with clean water,
when no connections are energized. Contact fingers of test plugs are normally
protected by petroleum jelly, which should not be removed.
5.
DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL

De-commissioning
The supply input (auxiliary) for the equipment may include capacitors across the
supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely
isolating the supplies to the equipment (both poles of any dc supply), the
capacitors should be safely discharged via the external terminals prior to
de-commissioning.
Disposal
It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses is avoided.
The equipment should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any equipment
containing batteries should have them removed before disposal, taking
precautions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of
operation, may apply to the disposal of the equipment.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT, THE
USER SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTENTS OF THE SAFETY
GUIDE SFTY/4LM/G11 OR LATER ISSUE, OR THE SAFETY AND
TECHNICAL DATA SECTIONS OF THE TECHNICAL MANUAL AND
ALSO THE RATINGS ON THE EQUIPMENT RATING LABEL.
1.1
Receipt of relays
Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to
installation on site. Upon receipt, relays 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 Schneider Electric should be promptly
notified.
Relays that are supplied unmounted and not intended for immediate installation should be
returned to their protective polythene bags.
1.2

The relays use 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.
P12y/EN IN/Fa5
Page 4/12

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

A persons 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 following 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 front-plate, 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.
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.
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.

RELAY MOUNTING
Relays are dispatched either individually or as part of a panel/rack assembly.
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.
If external test blocks are connected to the relay, great care should be taken when using the
associated test plugs such as MMLB and MiCOM P992 since their use may make hazardous
voltages accessible. *CT shorting links must be in place before the insertion or removal of
MMLB test plugs, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
NOTE:
NOTE: When a MiCOM P992 Test Plug is inserted into the MiCOM
P991 Test Block, the secondaries of the line CTs are automatically
shorted, making them safe.
For individually mounted relays an outline diagram is supplied in section 6 of this chapter
showing the panel cut-outs and hole centres.

UNPACKING
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays so that none of the parts is
damaged or the settings altered. Relays 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. Relays 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.

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

P12y/EN IN/Fa5
Page 7/12
STORAGE
If relays 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 relay; in
damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated with moisture and the dehumifier will lose its efficiency.
Storage temperature: 25C to +70C.
SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY DURING STORAGE MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO ELECTRONICS AND REDUCE THE LIFETIME OF
THE EQUIPMENT.
THEREFORE, ONCE THE MICOM PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN
UNPACKED, WE RECOMMEND THAT THEY ARE ENERGIZED WITHIN
THE THREE FOLLOWING MONTHS.
WHERE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED, SUFFICIENT
TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR ACCLIMATISATION TO THE
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF THE ENVIRONMENT, BEFORE
ENERGISATION.

CONNECTIONS
6.1
Connection of power terminals, and Signals terminals

The individual equipment is delivered with sufficient M4 screws and washers to connect the
relay via insulated crimp ring terminals. The maximum number of crimped terminations, per
terminal block terminal, is two.
If necessary, Schneider Electric can provide 4 types of insulated crimp terminals (see below)
according to the cross sectional area of the wire and the type of terminal. Each reference
corresponds to a sachet of 100 terminals.
Push-on connector 4.8 x 0.8 (wire size 0.75 - 1.5mm)
Schneider Electric reference: ZB9128 015
Push-on connector 4.8 x 0.8mm (wire size 1.5 - 2.5mm)

Schneider Electric reference: ZB9128 016

M4 90 Ring Tongue terminal (wire size 0.25 - 1.65mm)

Schneider Electric reference, Stafford part number ZB9124 901
M4 90 Ring Tongue terminal (wire size 1.5 - 2.5mm)

Schneider Electric reference, Stafford part number ZB9124 900
P0167ENc
To ensure the isolation of adjacent terminals, and to respect the security and safety
instructions, an insulated sleeve must be used.
We recommend the following cable cross-sections:
Auxiliary sources
Vaux: 1.5 mm
Communication Ports
see paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3
Other circuits
1.0 mm
Because of the limitations of the ring terminals, the maximum wire cross-section which can
be used for the connector blocks (for current inputs and signals) is 6mm by using noninsulated ring terminals. When only pre-insulated terminals can be used, the maximum wire
cross-section is reduced to 2,63 mm per ring terminal. If a more significant wire crosssection is necessary, two wires can be connected in parallel, each one terminated by a
separate ring terminal.
P12y/EN IN/Fa5
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Page 9/12
Except for the RS485 port(s) all the terminal blocks used for connections, can withstand a
maximum working voltage of 300V.
We recommend the auxiliary supply is protected by a NIT or TIA fuse type with a maximum
breaking capacity of 16A. For safety reasons, never install fuses in current transformers
circuits. Other circuits must be protected by fuses.
6.2
Communication port RS485

Connections to RS485 are made using ring terminals. It is recommended that a two core
screened cable, is used with a maximum total length of 1000 m or a 200nF total cable
capacitance.
Typical specification:
6.3
Each core:
16/0.2 mm copper conductor, PVC insulated
Nominal conductor area:
0.5 mm per core
Screen:
Overall braid, PVC sheathed
Linear capacitance between

conductor and earth:
100pF/m
RS232 port
Short term connections to the RS232 port, located behind the bottom access cover, can be
made using a screened multi-core communication cable up to 15m long, or a total
capacitance of 2500pF. The cable should be terminated at the relay end with a 9-way, metal
shelled, D-type male plug.
6.4
IRIG-B connections (P127 option)

The IRIG-B option integrates modulated and demodulated versions.
6.4.1
IRIG-B Modulated
IRIG-B modulated terminals: + = terminal 82, = terminal 81.
NOTE:
As IRIG-B signal is polarized, insure that BNC ground is connected on

pin n81.
The IRIG-B input and BNC connector (including BNC adaptor) have a characteristic
impedance of 50. It is recommended that connections between the IRIG-B equipment and
the relay are made using coaxial cable of type RG59LSF with a halogen free, fire retardant
sheath.
To connect the BNC connector to the relay, use the BNC adaptor fixed on the rear
connector:
Remove the two retaining screws and the washers,
Insert the two spacers in the 81 and 82 terminals,
Position the BNC adaptor (+ side on terminal 82) and screw the scre/washer
assembly (+ and GND sides are marked on the adaptor).
Retaining screw
washer
spacer
P3953ENa
P12y/EN IN/Fa5
Page 10/12
6.4.2
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
IRIG-B demodulated
IRIG-B demodulated terminals: + = terminal 84, = terminal 83.
The connections to IRIG-B unmodulated terminals are classical connections.
6.5
Protective Conductor (Earthing)

The equipment must be connected to the protective conductor via the M4 earth terminal of
the terminal block numbered 1 to 28, marked with the earth symbol. We recommend a wire
of minimal cross section of 2,5 mm. Because of the limitations of the ring terminals, the
maximum possible wire cross section is 6mm. If a larger section is necessary, one can use
cables connected in parallel, each one terminated with a ring terminal. Alternatively a
suitably sized metal strip may be used.
NOTE:
To prevent any electrolytic risk between copper conductor or brass

conductors and the back plate of the equipment, it is necessary to
take precautions to isolate them one from the other. This can be done
in several ways, for example by inserting between the conductor and
the case a plated nickel washer or by using tinned terminations.

PRESENTATION OF MiCOM P125, P126 AND P127 RELAYS

MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 are fully numerical relays designed to perform electrical
protection and control functions.
The following sections describe content and structure of the menu.
The five keys situated in the middle of the MiCOM relay front panel are dedicated to set
parameters.
With the keys it is possible to move in the direction indicated to the various levels
of the menus. The key validates the settings modification.
The two keys and c are dedicated to acknowledging/clearing and displaying/reading of
data. For example if successive alarms are to be displayed, press on key c.
The alarms are presented in reverse order of their detection (the most recent alarm first, the
oldest last). The user can either acknowledge and clear each alarm from the LCD by using
or go to the end of the ALARM menu and carry out a general acknowledgement.

The hinged covers at the top and bottom of the relay are shown closed. Extra physical
protection for the front panel can be provided by an optional transparent front cover; this
allows read only access to the relays settings and data but does not affect the relays IP
rating. When full access to the relay keypad is required to edit the settings, the transparent
cover can be unclipped and removed when the top and bottom hinged covers are open. If
the lower cover is secured with a wire seal, this will need to be removed. Using the side
flanges of the transparent cover, pull the bottom edge away from the relay front panel until it
is clear of the seal tab. The cover can then be moved vertically down to release the two
fixing lugs from their recesses in the front panel.
1.1.2
Front Panel Description

MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relay front panel allows the user to easily enter relay settings,
display measured values and alarms and to clearly display the status of the relay.
FIGURE 1: MiCOM P125, P126 AND P127 FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

The front panel of the relay has three separate sections:
1.
The LCD display and the keypad,
2.
The LEDs
3.
The two zones under the upper and lower flaps.

NOTE:
Starting from Hardware 5, there is no need of battery in the front of the

relay. Indeed, disturbance, fault and event records are stored on a
flash memory card that doesnt need to be backed up by a battery.
The compartment is fitted with a blanking cover.

LCD display and keypad description

The front panel components are shown below. The front panel functionality is identical for
the P125, P126 & P127 relays.
1.1.3.1
LCD display
In the front panel, a liquid crystal display (LCD) displays settings, measured values and
alarms. Data is accessed through a menu structure.
The LCD has two lines, with sixteen characters each. A back-light is activated when a key is
pressed and will remain lit for five minutes after the last key press. This allows the user to be
able to read the display in most lighting conditions.
1.1.3.2
Keypad
The keypad has seven keys divided into two groups:
Two keys located just under the screen (keys and c).
Keys and c are used to read and acknowledge alarms. To display successive alarms,
press key c. Alarms are displayed in reverse order of their detection (the most recent alarm
first, the oldest alarm last). To acknowledge the alarms, the user can either acknowledge
each alarm using or go to the end of the ALARM menu and acknowledge all the alarms
at the same time.
When navigating through submenus, key is also used to come back to the head line of
the corresponding menu.
NOTE:
To acknowledge a relay latched refer to the corresponding submenu

section.
Four main keys , , , located in the middle of the front panel.
They are used to navigate through the different menus and submenus and to do the setting
of the relay.
The key is used to validate a choice or a value (modification of settings).

LEDs
The LED labels on the front panel are by default written in English, however the user has
self-adhesive labels available with MiCOM relays on which it is possible to write using a ball
point pen.
The top four LEDs indicate the status of the relay (Trip condition, alarm LED, equipment
failure, auxiliary supply).
The four lower LEDs are freely programmable by the user and can be assigned to display a
threshold crossing for example (available for all models) or to show the status of the logic
inputs.The description of each one of these eight LEDs located in the left side of the front
view is given hereafter (numbered from the top to bottom from 1 to 8):
LED 1
LED 8
LED 1
P3951ENa
Colour: RED
Label: Trip
LED 1 indicates when a trip command has been issued by the relay to the cut-off element
(circuit breaker, protection trip). This LED copies the trip command issued to the trip output
relay contact (RL1). In its normal state the LED is not lit. It is illuminated as soon as a trip
order is issued. It is reset when the associated alarm is acknowledged.
LED 2
Colour: ORANGE
Label: Alarm
LED 2 indicates that an alarm has been registered by MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays.
The alarms are either threshold crossings (instantaneous) or tripping orders (time delayed).
The LED will flash until the alarms have been accepted (read key), after which the LED will
change to constant illumination. It will extinguish when the alarms have been cleared (clear
key) and the trip cause is reset.
LED 3
Colour: ORANGE
Label: Warning
LED 3 is dedicated to the internal alarms of MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays.
When a "non critical" internal alarm (i.e. a communication fault) is detected, the LED flashes
continuously. When the fault is classed as "critical", the LED is illuminated continuously. The
LED only extinguishes after the cause that provoked this fault has been removed (i.e. repair
of the module, disappearance of the fault).
LED 4
Colour: GREEN
Label: Healthy
LED 4 indicates that MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays are in correct working order and
the auxiliary power supply is present.
LED 5 to 8
Colour: RED
Label: Aux.1 to 4.
These LEDs can be programmed by the user on the basis of information on available
thresholds (instantaneous and time-delayed). The user selects the information he wishes to
see associates with each LED from the menu element (Logic OR). Each LED illuminates
when the associated information is valid. The extinguishing of each LED is linked to the
acknowledgement of the associated alarms.

Relay Identification
Page 9/96
Under the top hinged cover there is an adhesive paper label that contains the relay model
number, serial number, sensitive earth current range, rating information and the Cortec code
for ordering etc.
Each item on the label is described below:
P127CAF11: CORTEC code
This code allows the user to identify
the characteristics of the relay.
No.: 0000000: Serial number
Cde: 00000/000: Reference to the
purchasing order.
These numbers are needed when
contacting Schneider Electric in case of
problems.
Un = 57 130V: Voltage input range.
Modbus: Communication protocol of the
RS485 communication port situated on
the rear of the relay.
0.002 Ien: Sensitivity of the earth fault
current (available are three sensitivity
levels).
Ua = 48-150V DC: Auxiliary power
supply range. In this example, the
power supply must be a DC voltage.
1.1.5.2
Battery compartment (no longer used) and Communication Port

Under the bottom hinged cover of the relay there was a battery compartment to hold the
AA size battery, which is no longer used. Starting from Hardware 5, disturbance, fault and
event records are stored on a flash memory card that doesnt need to be backed up by a
battery. Therefore battery in the front compartment of the relay are no longer needed. The
battery compartment is fitted with a blanking cover.
Next to the (empty) battery compartment there is a 9-pin female D-type socket, which can be
used to communicate with a local PC (up to 15m distance) via a RS232 serial data link cable
(SK1 port).
1.1.5.3
The USB/RS232 cable (to power and set the relay)

The USB/RS232 cable is able to perform the following functions:
1.
It is able to power the relay from its front port. This allows the user to view or modify
data on the relay even when the auxiliary power supply of the relay has failed or when
the relay is not connected to any power supply. The USB port of the PC supplies the
power necessary to energize the relay. This lasts as long as the battery of the PC can
last.
2.
It provides an USB / RS 232 interface between the MiCOM relay and the PC. This
allows the user to be able to change the setting of the relay using a PC with its USB
port.
It eases the use of the relay allowing the retrieval of records and disturbance files for
example when the auxiliary supply has failed or is not available.
The associated driver (supplied with the relay) needs to be installed in the PC. For more
information , please refer to MiCOM E2 User Manual.

Menu structure
The relays menu is arranged in a tabular structure. Each setting in the menu is referred to
as a cell, and each cell in the menu may be accessed by reference to a row and column
address. The settings are arranged so that each column contains related settings, for
example all of the disturbance recorder settings are contained within the same column. As
shown in the figure, the top row of each column contains the heading that describes the
settings contained within that column. Movement between the columns of the menu can only
be made at the column heading level. A complete list of all of the menu settings is given in
the Menu Content tables (P12y/EH HI section).

Password
1.3.1
Password Protection
Password protection is applicable to most of the relay settings, especially to the selection of
the various alarm thresholds, trip thresholds, communication parameters, allocation of logic
inputs and outputs.
The password consists of four capital characters. When leaving the factory, the password is
set to AAAA. The user can define any combination of four characters.
Should the password be lost or forgotten, modification of the stored parameters is blocked. It
is then necessary to contact the manufacturer or his agent and a stand-by password specific
to the relay concerned may be obtained.
The programming mode is indicated with the letter "P" on the right hand side of the display
on each menu heading. The letter "P" remains present as long as the password is active
(5 minutes if there is no action on the keypad).
1.3.2
Password Entry
The input of the password is requested as soon as a modification of a parameter is made for
any one of the six/eight menus and the submenus. The user enters each of the 4 characters
and then validates the entire password with .
After 5 seconds, the display returns to the point of the preceding menu.
If no key is pressed inside of 5 minutes, the password is deactivated. A new password
request is associated with any subsequent parameter modification.

Changing the Password

To change an active password, go to the OP. PARAMETERS menu and then to the
Password submenu. Enter the current password and validate. Then press and enter the
new password character by character and validate the new password using .
The message NEW PASSWORD OK is displayed to indicate that the new password has
been accepted.

Change of Setting Invalidation

The procedure to modify a setting is shown in the next part of this document.
If during this action it occurs the need to get back to the old setting it is necessary push the
key before validating the setting change. After this action the following message will
appear on the LCD for some seconds and the old setting will be maintained.

1.4
Displays of Alarm & Warning Messages

Alarm messages are displayed directly on the front panel LCD. They have priority over the
default current value. As soon as an alarm situation is detected by the relay (threshold
crossing for example), the associated message is displayed on the MiCOM relay front panel
LCD and the LED Alarm (LED 2) lights up.
The alarm and warning messages are classed as follows:
Alarm messages generated by the electrical power network.
Warning messages caused by hardware or software faults from the relay.
1.4.1
Electrical Network Alarms

Any crossing of a threshold (instantaneous or time delay) generates an "electrical network
alarm". The involved threshold is indicated. Regarding the phase thresholds, the phase
designation (A, B or C) is also displayed.
If several alarms are triggered, they are all stored in their order of appearance and presented
on the LCD in reverse order of their detection (the most recent alarm first, the oldest alarm
last). Each alarm message is numbered and the total stored is shown.
The user can read all the alarm messages by using c.
The user acknowledges and clears the alarm messages from the LCD by using .
The user can acknowledge each alarm message one by one or all by going to the end of the
list to acknowledge, and clear, all the alarm messages by using .
The control of the ALARM LED (LED 2) is directly assigned to the status of the alarm
messages stored in the memory.
If one or several messages are NOT READ and NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, the ALARM LED
(LED 2) flashes.
If all the messages have been READ but NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, the ALARM LED (LED 2)
lights up continuously.
If all the messages have been ACKNOWLEDGED, and cleared, if the cause was reset, the
ALARM LED (LED 2) is extinguished.
1.4.2
Relay Hardware or Software Warning Messages

Any software or hardware fault internal to MiCOM relay generates a "hardware/software
alarm" that is stored in memory as a "Hardware Alarm". If several hardware alarms are
detected they are all stored in their order of appearance. The warning messages are
presented on the LCD in reverse order of their detection (the most recent first and the oldest
last). Each warning message is numbered and the total stored is shown.
The user can read all warning messages by using c, without entering the password.

Page 15/96
The acknowledgement, and clearing, of a warning message caused by internal relay

hardware or software faults is not possible. A warning message can only be made to
disappear if the cause of the fault has been removed.
The control of the WARNING LED (LED 3) is directly assigned to the status of the warning
messages stored in the memory:
The Watch Dog relay controls the correct operation of the protection and automation
function. This relay fault RL0 relay is activated if the following functions or checks are
faulty:
microprocessor operation,
power supply check,
reconstituted internal power supply check,
heating of a circuit board component monitoring,
analog channel monitoring (acquisition sampling),
programm execution monitoring,
communication ports monitoring.
If the internal hardware or software fault is major (i.e. the relay cannot perform protection
functions), the WARNING LED (LED 3) lights up continuously.
If the internal hardware or software fault is minor (i.e. a communication failure that has no
influence on the protection and automation functions), the WARNING LED (LED 3) will flash.
Warning messages caused by internal hardware or software faults are:
< CALIBRATION ERROR >>
<< CLOCK ERROR >>
<< DEFAULT SETTINGS (*) >>
<< SETTING ERROR (**) >>
<< CT ERROR >>
<< COMMUNIC. ERROR >>
<< WATCH DOG >>
<< STAT RESET>>
(*) DEFAULT SETTINGS: Each time the relay is powered ON it will check its memory
contents to determine whether the settings are set to the factory defaults. If the relay detects
that the default settings are loaded an alarm is raised. The ALARM LED (YELLOW) will light
up and the Watch Dog contact will be activated.
Only one parameter in the relay's menu needs to be changed to suppress these messages
and to reset the watch dog. This alarm is only an indication to the user that the relay has its
default settings applied.
(**) SETTING ERROR: Should the CPU fails to get correctly store data during a setting
change, a "HARDWARE" ALARM will appear on the LCD display followed by "SETTING
ERROR" message (when pushing on the button). In addition, the ALARM LED (YELLOW)
will light up and the Watch Dog contact will be activated To reset this alarm it is necessary to
power ON and OFF the relay. Following this, the last unsuccessful setting change will then
need to be re-applied. If the alarm persists, i.e. the "SETTING ERROR" alarm is still
displayed, please contact Schneider Electric Customer Care Center for advice and
assistance.
Possible software alarm messages are:

Ve can be calculated as Ve = (VA+ VB+ VC )/3
On the MiCOM P125 relays rear terminals there is one current input rated 1A and one
current input rated 5A available and one voltage input. On the MiCOM P126 relay rear
terminals there are four current inputs rated 1A and four current inputs rated 5A
available and one voltage input. On the MiCOM P127 relay rear terminals there are
four current inputs rated 1A and four current inputs rated 5A available and three
voltages input.
By using the Cortec code (see the appropriate section) the user can choose the
voltage range for voltage inputs for the MiCOM P125 & P126 (one input) and P127
(three inputs).
All logic outputs can be programmed to respond to any of the available control or protection
functions. Logic inputs can be assigned to various control functions.
All logic digital inputs can be programmed to respond to any of the available control or
protection functions. Their supply level is the same as the power supply selected of the relay
by Cortec. They can be supplied in A.C or D.C current by Cortec choice.
The MiCOM relays are powered either from a DC or an AC auxiliary power supply.
Any short time voltage interruption (<50ms) is filtered and regulated through the auxiliary
power supply.
The front panel enables the user to navigate through the menu to access data, change
settings, read measurements etc.
Eight LEDs on the front panel allow a clear and simple presentation of events. The various
detected alarms are stored and can be displayed on the back-lit LCD.
No Password is required to read and acknowledge (clear) these alarm messages.
On their rear terminals the MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays have a standard RS485 port
available. The user can choose, by ordering, the communication protocol ModBus RTU, IEC
60870-5-103 or DNP3 (when available).
Using the communication channel RS485, all stored information (measurements, alarms,
and parameters) can be read and the settings can be modified if this functionality is allowed
by the chosen protocol.
Evaluation and modification of this data can be carried out on site with a normal PC and the
appropriate Schneider Electric software.
RS485 based communication allows MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays to be directly linked
to a digital control system.
All the available data is then placed at the disposal of the supervisor and can be processed
either local or remotely.

Voltage Connections
For the P127, it is important to select the VTs configuration in the Configuration / General
Options / VT Connection submenu, according to the relay wiring for a correct functionality of
the voltage protections, or of the three phase and earth fault directional protections.
For the P127, there are three connection schemes for the VTs (see section P12y/EN CT).
2.3.2.1
Vpn (Three phase-neutral connection):

In this configuration, the relay directly measures Ua, Ub, and Uc and calculates internally the
zero sequence voltage Ue = (1/3)[Ua+Ub+Uc]. This internal value Ue will be used to be
compared to the threshold of Ue (the Earth Overvoltage Protection threshold and to evaluate
the angle with the earth current for the earth fault directional protection). However, the Ue is
displayed in the measurement Menu as well as the earth fault current and the relevant angle
between them as IN, INÛN.
User Guide
P12y/EN FT/Fa5
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

2.3.2.2
Page 27/96
2Vpn + Vr (Two phase-neutral plus an Open Delta connection):

In this configuration, the relay directly measures Ua and Ub. The input voltage of phase C of
the relay (terminals 73-74) which is connected to the summation of the three voltage phases
is used to be compared to the Ue (The earth Overvoltage Protection function threshold). This
voltage at C input is considered as Ur and it is displayed in the measurement menu as UN.
Moreover for the phase Overvoltage and Undervoltage protection functions, the phase C
voltage value Uc is internally reconstituted using the equation:
Uc = (Ua+Ub). This value will be compared to the U/V or O/V threshold in case of a fault in
phase C. Uc is not displayed in the measurement menu.
The reconstruction is valid if the Ur is measured from a transformer with 5 limbs; two used
for the phase voltage Ua and Uc and the others used in Open delta configuration for the Ur.
BE CAREFUL: IF THE Ur IS MEASURED FROM A SEPARATE TRANSFORMER THE
ABOVE RECONSTRUCTION IS NOT VALID AND CAN NOT BE USED.
2.3.2.3
Vpp + Vr (Two phase-phase plus an Open Delta connection)

The relay directly measures Uab and Ubc, the phase to phase (A-C) voltage value Uca is
internally reconstituted using the equation Uca=(Uab+Ubc).
The third input of voltage of the relay (terminals 73-74) can be connected to the output of a
delta transformer or to a dedicated voltage transformer, the measured value can be used to
compare to the earth overvoltage threshold.
This voltage is displayed in the measurement menu as UN and it is designed as the earth
voltage.
The shown measurements are functions of system voltages taken at the relay inputs.

Submenu Group Select

This submenu is used to select the active setting protection group, and to control the mode
of changing of group.
The changing of the group is blocked when an alarm is active, except if this alarm is
generated by a logic equation. If an order to change the group is generated when an alarm is
active, the group will change when the alarm is cleared because the changing group order is
recorded.
The setting group change is only executed when none protection function is running (except
thermal overload function).
CONFIGURATION
Group Select
Heading of the Group Select submenu.
Change Group
INPUT
Selects the way to active the protection setting group.

When Input is selected, change set should be assigned
to a logical input in the AUTOMAT. CTRL / Inputs menu.
When Menu is selected, the setting group is activated:
locally by HMI, using Setting Group cell,
remotely, using communications port.
Setting choice: Input or menu
Setting Group
Displayed only when Change group = Menu.

This cell is used either to activate locally a specific setting
group or to define which value should be used when remote
group switch command is received.
A local setting change command can be perfomed by
changing this value manually among [1 ; 2] for P125/P126
and among [1; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8] for P127.
On P127, when remote group switch command is received,
settings group will switch form setting Group to Target
group and vice-versa. On P125/P126, Target group
doesnt exist as remote group switch command will switch
from 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 by default
Note:
Target group
Group will be actived only if no alarm is active
Active setting group is available in OP PARAMETERS /

Active group cell.
Available on P127 only with setting choices from 0 to 8.

Target group defines the destination setting group. When
remote group switch command is received, settings group
will switch form setting Group to Target group and viceversa.
NOTE: If 0 is selected and remote group switch
command is sned, the setting group will be
switched from Active group to 1. Next commands
will switch settings group from 1 to 2 and viceversa.

The dead time (tD1, tD2, tD3 and tD4) starts when the digital input connected to the 52a,
auxiliary contact of the CB, is de-energised and the involved protection threshold reset. It
means that CB has tripped. If on trip protection the CB opening signal (52a) is lacking, after
a fixed time out of 2.00 s at 50 Hz or 1.67 s at 60 Hz, the ARC resets to the initial status. If
on trip protection the 52a signal changes status but the protection threshold trip stands the
tD timer will start when the protection trip threshold will disappear.
In the above case .
The 52a signal has to be assigned to a digital input by the inputs submenu in Automatic

Reclaim Time
tR
180.00 s
Set the Reclaimer time value (tR). The reclaim time , starts
when the CB has closed. Setting range is from 20ms to
600s (step 10ms).
After the reclaim time, if the circuit breaker does not trip
again, the autoreclose function resets; otherwise, the relay
either advances to the next shot that is programmed in the
autoreclose cycle, or, if all the programmed reclose
attempts have been accomplished, it locks out.
If the protection element operates during the reclaim time
following the final reclose attempt, the relay will lockout and
the autoreclose function is disabled until the lockout
condition resets.
Inhib Time
tI
The Inhib Time tI timer is used to block the autoreclose

being initiated after the CB is manually closed onto a fault.
The lockout condition can reset by a manual closing after
the "Inhib Time tI".
Setting range from 0.01s to 600s, in steps of 10ms.

relevant command will reset.
A 1 setting assigned to an output relay means that the relay is latched. The output relay will
be active when the relevant command will be active; the relay will remain active, if the
relevant command will reset.
The active latched output relays can be reset by a logic input assigned to this function.
Further, the active latched output relays can be reset from the front panel by pushing .

WIRING
The MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays have the same terminal layout for common
elements. The wiring diagram for each model is provided in Appendix 1 of the Technical
Guide.
3.1
Auxiliary Power Supply

The auxiliary power supply for the MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays can be either direct
current with a voltage range of 24-60 VDC, 48-250 VDC, 130-250 VDC, or alternative current
with a voltage of 48-250 VAC/ 50-60 Hz. The voltage range (Ua) is specified on the adhesive
paper label under the top hinged cover on the front of the relay.
The auxiliary power supply must only be connected to terminals 33 and 34.
3.2
Current Measurement Inputs

The MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays have up to eight current inputs (2 times 4 earth and
phase current inputs).
The nominal current value of the measuring inputs is either 1 Amp or 5 Amp (refer to wiring
diagram). For the same relay, the user can mix the 1 and 5 Amp inputs between phases and
earth.
NOTE:
3.3
All phase inputs must have the same rating (1 or 5 Amps).
Digital Inputs
The number of logic inputs depends on the relay model. The relays have programmable
opto-isolated logic inputs, which may be assigned to any available label or function.
Digital inputs for each relay model:
Model
Digital Inputs
P125
P126
P127
7 / 12
The voltage range of the inputs is universal (from 24-240Vac/250 Vdc).

3.4
Output Relays
The number of logic outputs depends on the relay model. The relays have configurable logic
outputs, which may be assigned to any available function.
The normally closed (NC) contact of the Watchdog (RL0) is not configurable. The other
contacts are configurable to functions available in the relay. A basic output matrix is included
in the relay. Some logic outputs have changeover contacts. RL1 and RL2 can be configured
to be fail safe or not.
Logic outputs for each relay model:

P125
P126
P127
The first logic output (RL0) is dedicated to indicate a relay failure (Watchdog, WD) and is not
part of this table.
3.5
Communication
3.5.1
RS485 Rear Communication Port

All MiCOM relays have one RS485 rear communication port by default. The terminals 29-3031-32 are dedicated to the RS485 communication port. An optional RS485 port is available
on P127.
See wiring diagrams in chapter P12y/EN CO of the Technical Guide.

3.5.2
User Guide
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
RS232 Front Communication Port

MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays provide the user with a RS232 communication port on
the front panel. This link is dedicated to MiCOM setting software.
The cable between the relays and the PC is a standard RS 232 shielded cable.
The relay requires a RS232 cable with a 9-pin male connector.
The wiring of the RS232 cable must be as follows:
RS232 PC PORT
9 pin male connector
MiCOM P125/6/7 end

9 pin female connector
P0073ENa
FRONT PANEL PORT COMMUNICATION RS232 CABLE WIRING

A USB/RS232 cable can also be used to communicate to the relay.

CURVES
15.1
General
Page 43/46
Although the curves tend towards infinite when the current approaches Is (general
threshold), the minimum guaranteed value of the operating current for all the curves with the
inverse time characteristic is 1.1Is (with a tolerance of 0.05Is).
15.1.1
Inverse Time Curves:

The first stage thresholds for phase (earth) overcurrent can be selected with an inverse
definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic. The time delay is calculated with a
mathematical formula.
In all, there are eleven IDMT characteristics available.
The mathematical formula applicable to the first ten curves is:
t = T

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Reset Timer
The first stage thresholds for phase and earth overcurrent protection, negative sequence
overcurrent and wattmetric/IeCos are provided with a timer hold facility "t Reset".
It may be set to a definite time value or to an inverse definite minimum time characteristic
(IEEE/ANSI curves only). This may be useful in certain applications, for example when
grading with upstream electromechanical overcurrent relays that have inherent reset time
delays.
The second and third stage thresholds for the wattmetric/IeCos protection and earth fault
overcurrent protection only have a definite time reset.
A possible situation where the reset timer may be used is to reduce fault clearance times
where intermittent faults occur.
An example may occur in a cable with plastic insulation. In this application it is possible that
the fault energy melts the cable insulation, which then reseals after clearance, thereby
eliminating the cause for the fault. This process repeats itself to give a succession of fault
current pulses, each of increasing duration with reducing intervals between the pulses, until
the fault becomes permanent.
When the reset time of the overcurrent relay is set to minimum the P125, P126 and P127
relays will be repeatedly reset and will not be able to trip until the fault becomes permanent.
By using the reset timer hold function the relay will integrate the fault current pulses, thereby
reducing fault clearance time.
The mathematical formula applicable to the five curves is:
K
t = T
1 (I I S )
Where:

Thermal Overload Curves

The thermal time characteristic is given by:
t

e
(I (kxIFLC ) )
(I Ip )
Where:
t
= Time to trip, following application of the overload current, I
= Heating and cooling time constant of the protected plant equipment
= Largest phase current
IFLC
= Full load current rating (relay setting 'Thermal Trip')
= 1.05 constant, allows continuous operation up to < 1.05 IFLC
IP
= Steady state pre-loading current before application of the overload
The time to trip varies depending on the load current carried before application of the
overload, i.e. whether the overload was applied from "hot" or "cold".
Curves of the thermal overload time characteristic are given in Technical Data.
The mathematical formula applicable to MiCOM Relays is the following
K -
t Trip = Te In
K trip
Where:
t Trip
= Time to trip (in seconds)
Te
= Thermal time constant of the equipment to be protected (in seconds)
= Thermal overload equal to Ieq/k I> with:
Ieq
= Equivalent current corresponding to the RMS value of the largest phase

current
I>
= Full load current rating given by the national standard or by the supplier
= Factor associated to the thermal state formula
alarm = Initial thermal state. If the initial thermal state = 30% then =0.3
trip
= Trip thermal state. If the trip thermal state is set at 100%, then trip = 1
The settings of these parameters are available in the various menus. The calculation of the
thermal state is given by the following formula:
Ieq

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Protection of Underground and Overhead Lines
Page 5/96
The secure and reliable transmission and distribution of power within a network is heavily
dependent upon the integrity of underground cables and overhead lines, which link the
various sections of the network together. Therefore the associated protection system must
also provide both secure and reliable operation.
The most common fault conditions, on underground cables and overhead lines, are short
circuit faults. These faults may occur between the phase conductors but will most often
involve one or more phase conductor becoming short-circuited to earth.
Faults caused by short circuits require the fastest faulted conductor clearance times but at
the same time allowing for suitable co-ordination with other downstream protection devices.
Fault sensitivity is an issue common to all voltage levels. For transmission systems, towerfooting resistance can be high. Also, high resistance faults might be prevalent where lines
pass over sandy or rocky terrain. Fast, discriminative faulted conductor clearance is required
for these fault conditions.
The effect of fault resistance is more pronounced on lower voltage systems, resulting in
potentially lower fault currents, which in turn increases the difficulty in the detection of high
resistance faults. In addition, many distribution systems use earthing arrangements designed
to limit the passage of earth fault current.
Earthed methods as such as using resistance, Petersen coil or insulated systems make the
detection of earth faults arduous. Special protection equipment is often used to overcome
these problems.
Nowadays, the supply continuity in the energy distribution is of paramount importance.
On overhead lines most of faults are transient or semi-permanent in nature.
In order to increase system availability multi-shot autoreclose cycles are commonly used in
conjunction with instantaneous tripping elements. For permanent faults it is essential that
only the faulted section of the network is isolated. High-speed, discriminative fault clearance
is therefore a fundamental requirement of any protection scheme on a distribution network.
Power transformers are installed at all system voltage levels and have their own specific
requirements with regard to protection. In order to limit the damage incurred by a transformer
under fault conditions, fast clearance of the windings with phase to phase and phase to earth
faults is a primary requirement.
Damage to electrical plant equipment such as transformers, cables and lines may also be
incurred by excessive loading conditions, which leads directly to overheating of the
equipment and subsequent degradation of their insulation. To protect against such fault
conditions, protective devices require thermal characteristics too.
Uncleared faults, arising either from the failure of the associated protection system or of the
switchgear itself, must also be considered. The protection devices concerned should be
fitted with logic to deal with breaker failure and relays located upstream must be able to
provide adequate back-up protection for such fault conditions.
Other situations may arise on overhead lines, such as broken phase conductors.
Traditionally, a series fault has been difficult to detect.
With today's digital technology, it is now possible to design elements, which are responsive
to such unbalanced system, conditions and to subsequently issue alarm and trip signals.
On large networks, time co-ordination of the overcurrent and earth fault protection relays can
often lead to problematic grading situations or, as is often the case, excessive fault
clearance times. Such problems can be overcome by relays operating in blocked overcurrent
schemes.

CURRENT PROTECTIONS & AUTOMATION FUNCTIONS
2.1
[67/50/51] Directional/non Directional Three Phase Overcurrent Protection (P127)

The directional/non directional overcurrent protection has three thresholds.
Each threshold can operate in directional or non-directional mode; if the setting is [Yes] it
operates like a typical three-phase overcurrent protection.
With the setting [DIR] the relay operates like a three-phase directional overcurrent protection
(only for the P127 relay), when the setting is [NO] it can not operate.
The third threshold can be set to operate on the peak of the measured phase current.
It compares the biggest peak value of the measured current against the setting.
The peak detection is applied where a CT saturation condition occurs and the measure is not
more trustworthy.
2.2
[67] Directional Overcurrent protection
2.2.1
Description
If a fault current can flow in both directions through a relay location, it is necessary to add
directionality to the overcurrent relays in order to obtain correct co-ordination. Typical
systems that require such protection are parallel feeders (both plain and transformer) and
ring main systems, each of which are relatively common in distribution networks.
In order to give directionality to an overcurrent relay, it is necessary to provide it with a
suitable reference, or polarising signal. The reference generally used is the system voltage,
as its angle remains relatively constant under fault conditions. The phase fault elements of
the directional relay are internally polarised by the quadrature phase-phase voltages, as
listed in the table below:

Under system fault conditions, the fault current vector will generally lag its nominal phase
voltage by an angle dependent on the system X/R ratio.
It is important that the relay operates with maximum sensitivity for currents lying in this
region.

This is achieved by means of the relay
characteristic angle (RCA) setting (also
referred to as torque angle). RCA
defines the angle by which the current

from the voltage applied to the relay to
obtain maximum relay sensitivity.

The third threshold can be set as definite delay time only, but can be set to work on the peak

The phase current exceeds the set overcurrent threshold.
The current vector lies within the trip boundary zone.

The directional overcurrent elements are polarised by the line voltage (phase to phase) in
quadrature to the considered phase current.
The absolute phase angle of line voltages is measured every cycle and the last value is
stored in the relay memory.
When with close-up three phase faults the polarisation voltage is collapsed, the synchronous
polarisation is switched on.
The polarisation discrimination voltage value is 0.6V (fixed value) for relays with a system
voltage of 57 to 130V and 3V (fixed value) for relays with a system voltage of 220 to 480V.
Over this value the directional relay uses standard polarisation (the measured voltage),
under this value the synchronous polarisation (stored vector) is used. The synchronous
polarisation is maintained up to the restoration of an input voltage value.
If the input voltage loss continues longer than 5s the directional overcurrent protection is
blocked.

Setting Guidelines
The applied current settings for directional overcurrent relays depend on the specific
application. In a parallel feeder arrangement, load current is always flowing in the nonoperating direction. Consequently the relay current setting may be less than the full load
rating of the circuit, typically 50% of In.
Note that the minimum setting that may be applied has to take into account the thermal
rating of the relay. Some electro-mechanical directional overcurrent relays have continuous
withstand ratings of only twice the applied current setting. Therefore 50% of rating was the
minimum setting that had to be applied.
With the latest generation relays the continuous current rating is 4 x rated current. If required
it is now possible to apply much more sensitive settings.
In a ring main arrangement, it is possible for load current to flow in either direction through
the point where the relay is located. Consequently the current setting must be above the
maximum load current, as in a standard non-directional application.
The required relay characteristic angle (RCA) settings for directional relays will depend on
the exact application in which they are used.
For instance for plain feeders where the zero sequence source is behind the relay, a RCA of
30 should be set.
The following picture shows the above examples.

On the P127 relay, it is possible to set the relay characteristic angle (RCA) or torque angle,
as it is also called, in the range of 0 to +359 in steps of 1. The trip boundary zone
associated to the RCA is settable in the range from 10 to 170 in steps of 1.
Further information about the setting range for the directional overcurrent protection are
available in the Technical Data document.

TYPICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM USING PARALLEL TRANSFORMERS

The above figure shows a typical distribution system using parallel power transformers.
In such an application, a fault at F could result in the tripping of both relays R3 and R4, and
the subsequent loss of supply to the 11kV busbar.
Consequently with this system configuration, it is necessary to apply directional relays at
these locations set to 'look into' their respective upstream transformers.
These relays should co-ordinate with the relays R1 and R2, so that discriminative relay
operation during such fault conditions is ensured.
In such an application, relays R3 and R4 may commonly require non-directional overcurrent
protection elements to provide protection to the 11kV busbar, in addition to providing a backup function to the overcurrent relays on the outgoing feeders (R5).
Note that the above requirements outlined for parallel transformer arrangements are equally
applicable for plain feeders, which are operating in parallel.

TYPICAL RING MAIN WITH ASSOCIATED OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

As with the previously described parallel feeder arrangement, it can be seen here that
current may flow in either direction through the various relay locations.
Therefore, directional overcurrent relays are again required in order to provide a
discriminative protection system.
The normal grading procedure for overcurrent relays protecting a ring main circuit is to open
the ring at the supply point and to grade the relays first clockwise and then counterclockwise. The arrows shown at the various relay locations in above figure depict the
direction for forward operation of the respective relays, i.e. in the same way as for parallel
feeders, the directional relays are set to 'look into' the feeder that they are protecting. The
above figure shows typical relay time settings (if definite delay time co-ordination was set),
from which it can be seen that faults on the interconnections between stations are cleared
without any discrimination by the relays at each end of the feeder.
Again, any of the three overcurrent stages may be configured to be directional and coordinated as per the previously outlined grading procedure, noting that IDMT characteristics
are selectable on the first and second stage.
Note that the above requirements outlined for the parallel transformer arrangements are
equally applicable for plain feeders, which are operating in parallel.

Directional Earth Fault Protection (P125, P126 & P127)

The MiCOM P125, P126, P127 relays have a directional/non directional earth fault
protection.
It provides three directional/non directional earth overcurrent thresholds and two wattmetric
and active earth fault current thresholds.
The first and second threshold can be set as definite or inverse delay time using the IEC,
IEEE/ANSI, CO2-8, RI and RECT curves as shown in the Technical Data of the relays; for
the wattmetric protection ( Pe / IeCos ) only the first threshold can be set as definite or
inverse delay time, always using IEC, IEEE/ANSI, CO, RI and RECT curves.
The directional earth fault overcurrent protection element compares the earth fault current,
residual voltage with the set thresholds Ie>, Ue>, Ie>>, Ue>>, Ie>>>, Ue>>>, the derived
earth currents Ie_d> and Ie_d>> and the relevant angle between the Ie and Ue for each
threshold. Once all the following listed requirements are met the tripping command is set:

The directional earth fault element needs a suitable voltage supply to provide the necessary
polarisation. (See the Technical data for further information)
The polarising signal must be representative of the earth fault condition. As residual voltage
is generated during earth fault conditions, and this quantity is used to polarise directional
earth fault elements. The P127 relay can derive this voltage internally from the 3 phase
voltage inputs when the VT connection option 3Vpn is set. It can also be measured directly
by a VT transformer when the VT connection option 2Vpp+Vr (two phase to phase) or
2Vpn+Vr (two phase to neutral) is set.
The P125 and P126 measures this voltage directly from a broken delta or single VT.

General Setting Guidelines

When setting the relay characteristic/torque angle for the three phase directional overcurrent
element, a positive angle setting was specified. This was due to the fact that we consider as
polarising voltage, the phase voltage value in quadrature of the current under fault
conditions. With directional earth fault protection, the residual current under fault conditions
lies at an angle lagging the polarising residual earth fault voltage.
The following listed angle settings are recommended to fix the right direction of the earth
fault for the various earthed systems.

2.4.2
An application of 67N in an Insulated Systems

The advantage with an insulated power system is that during a single phase to earth fault
condition, no high earth fault current will flow. Consequently, it is possible to maintain power
flow on the system even with an earth fault condition present. However, this advantage is
offset by the fact that the resultant steady state and transient over-voltages on the healthy
phases can be very high. In general insulated systems will only be used in low or medium
voltage networks where it does not prove too costly to provide the necessary insulation
against such over-voltages.
Higher system voltages would normally be solidly earthed or earthed via a low impedance.
Operational advantages may be obtained by the use of insulated systems.
However, it is still essential that detection of the earth fault condition is achieved. This is not
possible if standard current operated earth fault protection equipment is used. One possibility
for earth fault detection is by applying a residual over-voltage protection device. This
functionality is provided by the MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays.
However, fully discriminative earth fault protection on this type of system can only be
achieved by earth fault protection element. This protection element is included in directional
relays MiCOM P125, P126 & P127.
It is essential that a core balance CT is used for high sensitive earth fault detection. This
eliminates the possibility of spill current that may arise from slight mismatches between
residually connected line CTs. It also enables a much lower CT ratio to be applied, thereby
allowing the required protection sensitivity to be more easily achieved.

From above figure and the vector diagram below it can be seen that the relays on the
healthy feeders see the unbalance in the charging currents on their own feeder. The relay on
the faulted feeder, however, sees the charging current from the rest of the system [IH1 and

phase voltages on the healthy phases to rise by a factor of
3.

The A phase charging current (Ia), is then shown to be leading the resultant A phase voltage
by 90. Likewise, the IB phase charging current leads the resultant voltage Vb by 90.
The unbalance current detected by a core balance current transformer on the healthy
feeders can be seen as the vector addition of Ia1 and Ib1 (Ia2 and Ib2), giving a residual
current which lies at exactly 90 anticipating the polarising voltage (Vr=3Ve).
The vector diagram indicates that the residual currents on the healthy and faulted feeders,
IH1& IH2 and IR3 respectively, are in opposite direction to each other (180). A directional
element could therefore be used to provide discriminative earth fault protection.
If the polarising voltage of this element, equal to 3Ve, is shifted through +270, the residual
current seen by the relay on the faulted feeder will lie within the operate region (Trip Zone) of
the directional characteristic. As previously stated, the required RCA setting for the sensitive
earth fault protection when applied to insulated systems, is 270.
2.4.3
Wattmetric (Pe) Characteristic

The P125, P126 and P127 relays include the zero sequence power measurement function.
They also offer the possibility to choose between a Wattmetric (Pe) protection and IeCos
(active component of the earth fault current) protection functionality mode.
The following figure shows the characteristic tripping zone for the wattmetric protection.

Setting Guidelines for Pe Thresholds

The Pe thresholds are displayed in the format: ##.## x Ien W
In this formula the ##.## setting value is multiplied by the setting value of the Ien.
The threshold value is expressed in Watt secondary.
Example: The Pe> threshold is to be set from the relay front panel and the setting value is
20W.

Ien = 1A, the internal relay setting value will be equal to 20 x 1 = 20W.
To set the thresholds for the Pe (Wattmetric/IeCos) protection the relay will display the menu
Wattmetric Protection \ Pe> (refer to P12y/EN FT section).
The same procedure is to be applied for setting the second Pe>> threshold.
For the settings of the trip delay time see the FT chapter of the TG)
2.4.4
Application Considerations
The protection Pe> and Pe>> require relay current and voltage connections to be actived.
The measurement of the Pe depends on the voltage wiring of the relay.
In case of 3Vpn wiring the Ve will be equal to Ve= 1/3(Va+VB+VC) in the other insertions
way the applied voltage to the relay is directly used to calculate the Pe.
Referring to the relevant application diagram for the P125, P126 and P127 relays, it should
be installed such that its direction for forward operation is 'looking into' the protected feeder
i.e. away from the busbar, with the appropriate RCA .

As illustrated in the relay application diagram, it is usual for the earth fault element to be
driven from a core balance current transformer. This eliminates the possibility of spill current
that may arise from slight mismatches between residually connected line CTs. It also
enables a much lower CT ratio to be applied, thereby allowing the required protection
sensitivity to be more easily achieved.
2.4.5
Iecos protection
The Iecos protection follows the same concepts of the Pe protection.
The difference is that the thresholds take in account the active component of the earth fault
current.
The setting of the RCA follows the above listed table.
2.4.6
Where use Iecos and where use Pe.

The wattmetric protection Pe/Iecos is almost used in the Petersen Coil systems.
In a Petersen Coil scheme during a fault we have a resistive current and an inductive
current.
The resistive current is constant because the residual voltage is always present; the
inductive current is the summation of the capacitive contribution of the healthy line and the
reactive contribution of the fault line.
In this situation is difficult to discriminate the line and detect the fault current value because
the capacitive and reactive are of opposite sign.
Since the residual voltage is present to the parallel between the coil and resistance a
wattmetric protection is used to be sure to open the fault line.
The unique resistive present component depends on the fault line.
The discriminative for the using of Pe or Iecos protection is the fault current value and the
relative fault operating boundary.
In some applications, the residual current on the healthy feeder can lie just inside the
operating boundary following a fault condition. The residual current for the faulted feeder lies
close to the operating boundary.
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
Application Guide
Page 22/96
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
In this case, a correct discrimination is achieved by means of an Iecos characteristic, as the

faulted feeder will have a large active component of residual current, whilst the healthy
feeder will have a small value.
For insulated earth applications, it is common to use the Iesin characteristic that can be
obtained by the setting of the characteristic angle to 90 or 270.
2.5
Derived earth overcurrent (Ie_d>, P127 only)

The derived earth overcurrent element protection is used to cover applications such as
HTB/HTA transformers. The derived earth current (Ie_d>) is the vectorial summation:
IA + IB + IC :
IA + IB + IC = Ie_d>.
The derived earth overcurrent has two independent thresholds: Ie_d> and Ie_d>>.
The two thresholds can be set as definite delay time or inverse delay time using the IEC,
IEEE/ANSI, CO, RI and RECT curves. Their parameters are shown in the Technical Data
chapter of this Technical Guide.
IA
IB
IC
IA+IB+IC = Ie_d>

Ie = Tank Earth
P3940ENb
As soon as Ie_d> threshold is running, the instantaneous output associated with this
threshold is activated. This output indicates that the protection element has detected an
earth fault and that the time delay associated with the threshold has started. This time delay
can be blocked via the logic input "Block Logic" associated with this threshold. If this blocking
input is activated by an output contact of a downstream relay, the logic that will lead to the
trip command is then blocked only if the relay that is the closest to the fault can see and
therefore eliminate the fault. This principle is known as Blocking logic or Blocking. It is
described in more detail in this document.

Application of a MiCOM P125 relay as a Single Element Power Relay
2.6.1
Overview
The MiCOM P125 relay is a single phase relay designed for stand alone directional earth
fault protection. This relay incorporates both an IeCos and a Zero Sequence Power
element. These elements can be configured to provide a single phase power measurement
or alternatively a sensitive directional overcurrent characteristic similar to that of the
MWTU11/TWL1111 Reverse Power relay.
Using a MiCOM P125 relay as a stand alone power relay provides a wide setting range, the

Replacing an MWTU11/TWL1111 Reverse Power / Forward Power Relay.

The MWTU11/TWL1111 was not strictly a power measuring relay. The relay operated using
an Icos characteristic. Provided enough voltage was present to polarise the measuring
element, a 1% setting on a 1A relay would pickup at 10mA independent of the voltage
magnitude applied.
By selecting the 0.01 to 8Ien, model number MiCOM P125B, A setting range of 1 to 100% of
the nominal current in 0.1% steps is available.
2.6.5
Application of the Power Function

The standard configuration of the MiCOM P125 when set to use the wattmetric earth fault
protection can measure the zero sequence power, the connection for this can be found in the
sales publication and service manual. By adopting the connection above the relay can
measure the phase current and phase to phase, or phase to ground voltage, the operate
quantity when using these connections is a single phase power. As power protection is
generally required to operate for balanced three phase conditions basing the protection on a
single phase measured quantity is of no consequence.
When using the Power Function of the relay (Pe) care must be taken when selecting the
relay range. If the MiCOM P125CA relay is considered and is connected phase to ground
with 1A CT secondaries. A 0.2W setting would be equivalent to 0.2/63.5 Watts, 0.3% of the
nominal load.
2.7

Thermal overload protection can be applied to prevent damages to the electrical plant
equipment when operating at temperatures in excess of the designed maximum withstand. A
prolonged overloading causes excessive heating, which may result in premature
deterioration of the insulation, or in extreme cases, insulation failure.
MiCOM P126 & P127 relays incorporate a current based thermal replica, using load current
to reproduce the heating and cooling of the equipment to be protected. The element thermal
overload protection can be set with both alarm and trip stages.
The heating within any plant equipment, such as cables or transformers, is of resistive type
(IR x t). Thus, the quantity of heat generated is directly proportional to current squared (I).
The thermal time characteristic used in the relay is based on current squared, integrated
over time.
The MiCOM P126 & P127 relays automatically use the highest phase current as input
information for the thermal model.
Protection equipment is designed to operate continuously at a temperature corresponding to
its full load rating, where heat generated is balanced with heat dissipated by radiation etc.
Over-temperature conditions therefore occur when currents in excess of rating are allowed to
flow for a certain period of time. It can be shown that temperatures during heating follow
exponential time constants and a similar exponential decrease of temperature occurs during
cooling.
In order to apply this protection element, the thermal time constant (Te) of the plant
equipment to be protected is therefore required.
The following sections will show that different plant equipment possesses different thermal
characteristics, due to the nature of their construction.

The undercurrent function [37] makes it possible to detect a loss of load (for example the
draining of a pump or breakage of a conveyor belt). It uses definite delay time undercurrent
protection.
The user can set the following parameters:
2.9
undercurrent threshold I<
time delayed undercurrent threshold tI<

When applying traditional phase overcurrent protection, the overcurrent elements must be
set higher than maximum load current, thereby limiting the sensitivity of the element. Most
protection techniques also use an earth fault element operating from residual current, which
improves sensitivity for earth faults. However, certain faults may arise which can remain
undetected by such techniques.
Any unbalanced fault condition will produce negative sequence current of some magnitude.
Thus, a negative phase sequence overcurrent element can operate for both phase-to-phase
and phase to earth faults.
Application Guide
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Page 29/96
This section describes how negative phase sequence overcurrent protection may be applied
in conjunction with standard overcurrent and earth fault protection in order to alleviate some
less common application difficulties.
Negative phase sequence overcurrent elements give greater sensitivity to resistive

phase-to-phase faults, where phase overcurrent elements may not operate.
In certain applications, residual current may not be detected by an earth fault relay
due to the system configuration. For example, an earth fault relay applied on the delta
side of a delta-star transformer is unable to detect earth faults on the star side.
However, negative sequence current will be present on both sides of the transformer
for any fault condition, irrespective of the transformer configuration. Therefore, a
negative phase sequence overcurrent element may be employed to provide timedelayed back-up protection for any un-cleared asymmetrical fault.
Where fuses protect motors on rotating machines, a blown fuse produces a large
amount of negative sequence current. This is a dangerous condition for the motor due
to the heating effects of negative phase sequence current at double frequency. A
negative phase sequence overcurrent element may be applied to provide efficient
back-up protection for dedicated motor protection relays.
It may also be required to simply set an alarm at the presence of negative phase
sequence currents on the system. Operators are then prompted to investigate the
cause of the unbalance.
The negative phase sequence overcurrent elements have a current pick up settings I2>,
I2>>, I2>>>, and are time delayed in operation by the adjustable timers tI2>, tI2>>, tI2>>>.
2.9.1
I2 Thresholds Setting Guidelines

This protection element includes three thresholds.
The first threshold can be set as DT or IDMT trip delay time.
The curves are the same as for the [50/51], [50N/51N] protection.
The current pick-up threshold (settable in the menu PROTECTION G1/[46] Neg. Seg. OC)
must be set higher than the normal negative phase sequence current due to the normal load
unbalance that is always present on the system. This can be set at the commissioning stage,
making use of the relay measurement function to display the standing negative phase
sequence current, and apply a setting at least 20% above.
Where the negative phase sequence element is required to operate for specific un-cleared
asymmetric faults, a precise threshold setting has to be based on an individual fault analysis
for that particular system due to the complexities involved. However, to ensure operation of
the protection element, the current pick-up setting must be set approximately 20% below the
lowest calculated negative phase sequence fault current for a specific remote fault condition.
The correct setting of the time delay is vital for this protection element. It should be also seen
that this element is applied primarily to provide back-up protection to other protective devices
or to provide an alarm. Therefore, it would be associated with a long delay time.
It must be ensured that the time delay is set longer than the operating time of any other
protective device (at minimum fault level) on the system, which may respond to unbalanced
faults, such as:
Phase overcurrent protection elements
Earth fault protection elements
Broken conductor protection elements
Negative phase sequence influenced thermal protection elements

Restricted earth fault
2.10.1
Introduction
The restricted earth fault relay is a high impedance differential scheme which balances zero
sequence current flowing in the transformer neutral against zero sequence current flowing in
the transformer phase windings. Any unbalance for in-zone fault will result in an increasing
voltage on the CT secondary and thus will activate the REF protection.
This scheme is very sensitive and can then protect against low levels of fault current in
resistance grounded systems where the earthing impedance and the fault voltage limit the
fault current.
In addition, this scheme can be used in a solidly grounded system. It provides a more
sensitive protection, even though the overall differential scheme provides a protection for
faults over most of the windings.
The high impedance differential technique ensures that the impedance of the circuit is of
sufficiently high impedance such that the differential voltage that may occur under external
fault conditions is lower than the voltage required to drive setting current through the relay.
This ensures stability against external fault conditions and then the relay will operate only for
faults occurring inside the protected zone.
2.10.2

The voltage applied across the relay is:

: Maximum secondary external fault current.
If
RCT : Resistance of the Current transformer secondary winding.
RL : Resistance of a single wire from the relay to the CT.
A stabilizing resistor R ST can be used in series with the relay circuit in order to improve the
stability of the relay under external fault conditions. This resistor will limit the spill current
under Is.
Vs=Is (RST)
Is: Current relay setting
Vs: Stability Voltage setting
Note that the relay consumption has been taken into account.

Page 31/96
The general stability conditions can be obtained when:

Vs> K.If (RCT + 2RL)
Where K is the stability factor.
This stability factor is influenced by the ratio Vk/Vs which in turns governs the stability of the
REF protection element for through faults .
Vk = The Knee point voltage of the CT.
To obtain a high speed operation for internal faults, the Knee point voltage Vk of the CT must
be significantly higher than the stability voltage Vs . A ratio of 4 or 5 would be appropriate.
For MiCOM P121, P122 and P123, we found the following results:
K= 1 for Vk/Vs less or equal to 16 and
K= 1.2 for Vk/Vs > 16.

must not exceed 20In.

2.10.3
Setting guide
The characteristics of the relay and the value of K influence the stability of the scheme as
explained here above.
The typical setting values shall be chosen to provide a primary operating current less than
30 % of the minimum earth fault level for a resistance earthed system. For a solidly earthed
system, the typical setting shall provide an operating current between 10 and 60 % of the
rated current.
The primary operating current, at the secondary, depends on the following factors:
Current Transformer ratio
Relay operating current IS
Number of CT in parallel with the relay element (n)
The inrush current of each CT (Ie) at the stability voltage

Iop= CTRatio .(Is + n.Ie)
Current setting should be selected for a high impedance element so that the primary current
reaches its nominal current with a given CT, according to the following equation:
Is < {(Iop / CTRatio) - n.Ie}
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
Application Guide
Page 32/96
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
It is also possible to determine the maximum inrush current of the CT to reach a specific
primary operating current with a given relay setting.
The setting of the stabilising resistor must be calculated according to the above formula,
where the setting depends on the required stability voltage setting Vs and the relay setting Is
Vs k If (RCT+2RL)
Is =
IS
For MiCOM P12x, Is is equivalent to Ie>, so the above equation becomes:
Vs k If (RCT+2RL)
Ie> =

with
K= 1.2 for Vk/Vs > 16.
So
RST =
k If (RCT+2RL)
Ie>
with Vk 4.Is.RST (A typical value to ensure the high speed operation for an internal fault).
CT requirements for High Impedance Restricted Earth Fault Protection
The High Impedance Restricted Earth Fault element shall remain stable for through faults
and operate in less than 40ms for internal faults provided that the following equations are
met in determining CT requirements and the value of the associated stabilising resistor:
Rs
[k* (If) * (RCT + 2RL)] / IS
VK
4 * Is * Rs
with
K= 1.2 for Vk/Vs > 16.
2.10.4
Use of METROSIL non linear resistors

Metrosils are used to limit the peak voltage developed by the current transformers under
internal fault conditions, to a value below the insulation level of the current transformers,
relay and interconnecting leads, which are normally able to withstand 3KV peak.
The following formula should be used to estimate the peak transient voltage that could be
induced by an internal fault. This peak voltage depends on:
CT Knee point (VK)
Voltage that would be induced by an internal fault if CT doesnt saturate (Vf)
This prospective voltage itself depends on:
Maximum internal fault secondary current
CT ratio
CT secondary winding resistance
CT lead resistance to the common point
Relay lead resistance
Stability resistor value
Application Guide
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Page 33/96
Vp = 2 {2.VK (Vf - Vk)}

Vf = I'f.(Rct + 2RL + RST)
Where
Vp: peak voltage developed by the CT under internal fault conditions
Vf: maximum voltage that would be produced if CT saturation did not occur
Vk: current transformer Knee point voltage
If: is the maximum internal secondary fault current
Rct: current transformer secondary winding transformer
RL: maximum lead burden from CT to relay
RST: Relay stabilising resistor.
When the value given by the formula is greater than 3KV peak, it is necessary to use
Metrosils. They are connected across the relay circuit and they allow to shunt the secondary
current output of the current transformer from the relay in order to prevent very high
secondary voltages.
Metrosils are externally mounted and have annular discs shape.
Their operating characteristics is according to the formula:
V = C.I0.25
Where
V: Instantaneous voltage applied to the non-linear resistor (Metrosil)
C: Constant of the non-linear resistor (Metrosil)
I: Instantaneous current through the non-linear resistor (Metrosil)
With the sinusoidal voltage applied across the Metrosil, the RMS current would be
approximately 0.25 times the peak current. This current value can be calculated as follows:
Vs(rms). 2
Irms = 0.52
Where
Vs(rms): RMS value of the sinusoidal voltage applied across the Metrosil.
This is due to the fact that the current waveform through the Metrosil is not sinusoidal but
appreciably distorted.
For satisfactory application of the non-linear resistor (Metrosil), its characteristics should
comply with the following requirements:
At the relay voltage setting, the non-linear resistor (Metrosil) current should be as
low as possible, but no greater than approximately 30mA rms for 1A current
transformers and approximately 100mA rms for 5A current transformer.
At the maximum secondary current, the non-linear resistor (Metrosil) should limit
the voltage to 1500V rms or 2120V peak for 0.25 second. At higher relay voltage
settings, it is not always possible to limit the fault voltage to 1500V rms, so higher
fault voltage may have to be tolerated.
The following tables show the typical types of Metrosil that will be required, depending on
relay current rating, REF voltage setting etc.

At the maximum secondary internal fault current the Metrosil unit should limit the

VOLTAGE PROTECTIONS
3.1
Setting for the Voltage Connections
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
Page 35/96
For the P127, it is important to select the VTs configuration and VT protection in the
Configuration/ General Options/ VT Connection and VT protection submenu in according to
the relay wiring for a corrected functionality of the voltage protections.
Protection thresholds are not automatically converted when the protection mode is modified;
they are directly expressed into the set protection mode. So, if the protection mode is
modified, the thresholds have to be recalculated. For example, to keep the same protection
level when the mode is converted from P-P to P-N, it is necessary to divide thresholds by 3.
In the above mentioned is menu you will find that for the P127 relay there are three
configurations of VTs.
1.
3Vpn (Three phase-neutral connection):
In this configuration, the relay directly measures Ua, Ub, and Uc and calculates internally the
zero sequence voltage Ue = (1/3)[Ua+Ub+Uc]. This internal value Ue will be used to be
compared to the threshold of Ue (the Earth Overvoltage Protection threshold and to evaluate
the angle with the earth current for the earth fault directional protection). However, none UN
is displayed in the measurement Menu.
2.
2Vpn + Vr (Two phase-neutral plus an Open Delta connection):
In this configuration, the relay directly measures Ua and Ub. The input voltage of phase C of
the relay (terminals 73-74) which is connected to the summation of the three voltage phases
is used to be compared to the Ue (The earth Overvoltage Protection function threshold). This
voltage at C input is considered as Ur and it is displayed in the measurement menu as UN.
Moreover for the phase Overvoltage and Undervoltage protection functions, the phase C
voltage value Uc is internally reconstituted using the equation:
Uc = Ua+Ub+Ur. This value will be compared to the U/V or O/V threshold in case of a
fault in phase C. Uc is not displayed in the measurement menu.
The reconstruction is valid if the Ur is measured from a transformer with 5 limb;
two used for the phase voltage Ua and Uc and the others used in Open delta
configuration for the Ur.
BE CAREFUL: IF THE Ur IS MEASURED FROM A SEPARATE TRANSFORMER THE

ABOVE RECONSTRUCTION IS NOT VALID AND CAN NOT BE USED.
3.
2Vpp + Vr (Two phase-phase plus an Open Delta connection):
The relay directly measures Uab and Ubc, the phase to phase (A-C) voltage value Uca is
internally reconstituted using the equation Uca=Uab+Ubc.
The third input of voltage of the relay (terminals 73-74) can be connected to the output of a
delta transformer or to a dedicated voltage transformer, the measured value can be used to
compare to the earth overvoltage threshold.
This voltage is displayed in the measurement menu as UN and it is designed as the earth
voltage.
4.
VT Protection:
This setting is only available for 3VPN or 2VPN+Vr connection.
If VT Protection = Protect P-P, threshold (P-P voltage) is the P-N threshold

multiplied by 3 to match to wished physical thresholds. Example: U> flag will be
activated for measured P-N voltage higher than 57V, if threshold = 100V.
if "VT Protection" = "Protect P-N", set thresholds are P-N voltages, and effective
thresholds used for protections algorithm are set thresholds multiplied by 3. Example:
U> flag will be activated for measured P-N voltage higher than 57V, if threshold = 57V.

Consideration on the measurement menu

Why UN for the earth voltage measurement?
The neutral, earth or residual or zero sequence voltage are considered a single voltage and
because it is not possible to modify the label in the display we have used the following
terminology:
Ue for the thresholds.
UN for the measurement menu.
UN in the fault recorder.
UN for the measurement and fault record menu is to intend residual, zero sequence voltage
earth voltage etc.
3.3
(59N) Zero Sequence Overvoltage Protection (P125, P126 & P127)

On a healthy three phase power system, the addition of each of the three phase to earth
voltages is nominally zero, as this results from the vector addition of three balanced vectors
set at 120 to one another. However, when an earth fault occurs on the primary system this
balance is upset and a residual voltage is produced. This can be measured, for example, at
the secondary terminals of a voltage transformer having a broken delta secondary
connection. Hence, a residual voltage-measuring relay can be used to offer earth fault
protection on such a system. Note that this condition causes a rise in the neutral voltage with
respect to earth, which is commonly referred to as neutral voltage displacement.
3.3.1
Setting Guidelines
The voltage setting applied to the protection elements is dependent upon the magnitude of
residual voltage that is expected to occur during an earth fault condition.
This in turn is dependent upon the method of system earthing employed. It must also be
ensured that the relay is set above any standing level of residual voltage that is present on
the system.
The protection element has one programmable element with delay time tUe>>>>.
The setting range and the functionality limits for the residual over-voltage are described in
the TD chapter, the setting menu is described in the User Guide chapter.
3.4
(27) Undervoltage Protection (P127)

Under-voltage conditions may occur on a power system for a variety of reasons, some of
which are outlined below:
Increased system loading
Generally, some corrective action would be taken by voltage regulating equipment such as
AVRs or On Load Tap Changers, in order to bring the system voltage back to its nominal
value. If this voltage regulating equipment is unsuccessful in restoring healthy system
voltage, then tripping by means of an under-voltage relay will be required following a suitable
time delay.
Faults occurring on the power system result in a reduction in voltage of the phases involved
in a fault. The proportion by which the voltage decreases is directly dependent upon the type
of fault, method of system earthing and its location with respect to the relay installation point.
Consequently, co-ordination with other voltage and current-based protection devices is
essential in order to achieve sufficient discrimination.
Complete loss of bus-bar voltage
This may occur due to fault conditions present on the incomer or busbar itself, resulting in
total isolation of the incoming power supply. For this condition, it may be a requirement for
each of the feeders to be isolated, so that when supply voltage is restored, the load is not
connected. Hence, the automatic tripping of a CB on a feeder upon detection of complete
loss of voltage on the busbar may be required. This may be achieved by a three-phase
undervoltage protection element.
Application Guide
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

3.4.1
Page 37/96
Setting Guidelines
In the majority of applications, undervoltage protection is not required to operate during
system earth fault conditions. If this is the case, the protection element should be selected in
the menu to operate from a phase-to-phase voltage measurement, as this quantity is less
affected by the decrease of a single-phase voltage due to an earth fault.
The voltage threshold setting for the undervoltage protection element should be set at some
value below the voltage decreases which may be expected under normal system operating
conditions. This threshold is dependent upon the system in question but typical healthy
system voltage decreases may be in the order of -10% of nominal value.
The undervoltage protection element has two programmable thresholds with delay timers:
tU<, tU<<
After a trip command the thresholds will be reset when all phase voltages have risen above
105% of setting values.
The undervoltage protection element, which can be set as OR or AND logic, operates by
comparing each UAB, UBC and UCA voltage input with the U<, U<< thresholds.
The relay continuously monitors the phase-to-phase voltages.
NOTE:
If the relay is connected in the mode 3 Vpn to control the phase to

neutral voltages, the thresholds must be multiplied by
3.
Exemple with a 400V analog VT input and a setting at 85% of this voltage:
if this voltage is a phase to phase (Vpp) setting, U< = 85% x Un, the setting will
be 340V
if this voltage is a phase to neutral (Vpn = 230V) setting, U< = (85% x Un) x
3 , the setting will be 340V

When OR operating logic is set and one or more voltage values fall below the threshold
value, the tripping command is sent after the tripping timer has reached the set overtime
condition.
When AND operating logic is set and all of the voltage values have fallen below the
threshold value, the tripping command is sent after the tripping timer has reached the set
overtime condition.
The protection element under-voltage has two programmable thresholds with definite delay
time tU< and tU<<.
The two thresholds can be individually inhibited when circuit breaker is opened (52A).
Information as to the thresholds setting range can be found in the FT and TD parts of the
technical guide.
3.5
(59) Overvoltage Protection (P127)

As previously discussed, under-voltage conditions are relatively common, as they are related
to fault conditions etc. However, over-voltage conditions are also a possibility and are
generally related to loss of load conditions as described below.
Under load shedding conditions, the supply voltage will increase in magnitude. This situation
would normally be rectified by voltage regulating equipment such as AVRs or on-load tap
changers. However, failure of this equipment to bring the system voltage back within
prescribed limits, leaving the system with an over-voltage condition which must be cleared in
order to preserve the life of the system insulation. Hence, over-voltage protection, which is
suitably time delayed to allow for normal regulator action, may be applied. During earth fault
conditions on a power system there may be an increase in the healthy phase voltages.
Ideally, the system should be designed to withstand such over-voltages for a defined period
of time.
Normally, there will be a relay with a primary protection element employed to detect the earth
fault condition and to issue a trip command if the fault is non-cleared after a nominal time.
However, in this instance it would be possible to use a relay with an over-voltage protection
element as back-up protection. Sufficient would be a single stage of protection, having a
definite delay time.
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
Application Guide
Page 38/96
3.5.1
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Setting Guidelines
The relay with this type of protection element must be co-ordinated with any other overvoltage relay at other locations on the system. This should be carried out in a similar manner
to that used for grading current operated protection devices.
The protection element over-voltage has two programmable thresholds and two delay timers,
tU>, tU>>.
After a trip command the thresholds will be reset when all phase voltages have fallen below
95% of setting values.
The overvoltage protection element, which can be set as OR or AND logic, operates by
comparing each UAB, UBC and UCA voltage input with the U>, U>> thresholds.
NOTE:
If the relay is connected in the mode 3Vpn to control the phase to

neutral voltages, the thresholds must be multiplied by
3.
When OR operating logic is set and one or more voltage has risen above the threshold
condition.
When AND operating logic is set and all of the voltage values have risen above the threshold
condition.
Information as to the thresholds setting range can be found in the FT and TD parts of the
technical guide.
3.6
Negative sequence overvoltage protection

Where an incoming feeder is supplying a switchboard which is feeding rotating plant (e.g.
induction motors), correct phasing and balance of the ac supply is essential. Incorrect phase
rotation will result in any connected motors rotating in the wrong direction. For directionally
sensitive applications, such as elevators and conveyor belts, it may be unacceptable to allow
this to happen
Any unbalanced condition occurring on the incoming supply will result in the presence of
negative phase sequence (nps) components of voltage. In the event of incorrect phase
rotation, the supply voltage would effectively consist of 100% negative phase sequence
voltage only
3.6.1
Setting guideline
The negative sequence overvoltage protection has two independent thresholds: V2> and
tV2>.
Any unbalanced condition occurring on the incoming supply will result in the presence of
negative phase sequence (nps) components of voltage. In the event of incorrect phase
rotation, the supply voltage would effectively consist of 100% negative phase sequence
typical.
The operation time of the element will be highly dependent on the application. A typical
setting would be in the region of 5s.
The relay will trip according to an inverse characteristic or a definite time characteristic for
the first stage and according to a definite time characteristic for the second stage.
The inverse characteristic is given by the following formula:
t = K / (M - 1)
Where:
K = Time Multiplier Setting

t = operating time in seconds
M = Applied input voltage / Relay setting voltage (Vs).

OTHER PROTECTION FUNCTION INTEGRATED IN P127
4.1
Under/Over frequency (81 U/O)
4.1.1
Description
Page 39/96
Time delayed under and over frequency protection available on P127 provides the
fundamental form of frequency protection.
Six thresholds are available: Each one can be configured to detect an under or over
frequency within the range [fn 4,9Hz, fn + 4,9Hz], where fn is the nominal frequency
selected (50Hz or 60Hz). A definite timer is assigned to each threshold.
When the frequency measured is crossing one of the 6 pre-defined thresholds, the relays
generates a start signal and after a user settable time delay, a trip signal.
NOTE:
Under / Over frequency protection is available when voltage inputs are

connected.
4.2
Rate of frequency change protection (dF/dt) (81R)
4.2.1
Description
The calculation of the rate of change of frequency is an average measurement of the
instantaneous values over a programmable number of cycles (1 to 200); refer to the
CONFIGURATION / General options" menu. The instantaneous values of rate of change of
frequency are measured every cycle (20ms at 50Hz). The rate of frequency change
elements are very important to detect any power loss under severe disturbances and
eventually perform load shedding of secondary load.
These elements offer the possibility to detect the tendency of the variation of frequency, and
thus re establish the correct load/generation without waiting for big frequency reduction.
These elements could be combined to the frequency elements using the AND logic
equations to provide a very useful mechanism allowing a more secure trip decision to be
achieved during transient system disturbances.
According CONFIGURATION / General options setting, this function will be inhibited in the
following case:
if the voltage level for each phase is below the settable undervoltage blocking value
(see Prot. Freq. Block U< cell),
if the frequency is out of range: fmeasured > (fn+20Hz) or fmeasured < (fn20Hz)
if dF/dt > 20hz/s and Inhib. dF/dt>20Hz/s is set to No.

Description
MiCOM P127 provides the three-phase power protection which monitors the active and
reactive power limits and detects (when selected):
active overpower value on thresholds P> and P>>,
reactive overpower value on thresholds Q> and Q>>,
active underpower value on thresholds P< and P<<,
reactive underpower value on thresholds Q< and Q<<.
A definite timer is assigned to each threshold. When the active and reactive power
measurements are inside the trip zone, the relays generates a start signal and after a user
settable time delay, a trip signal.
The directional angle between active (or reactive) over / under power and triggering power
can be adjusted between 0 and 359.

DESCRIPTION AND SETTING GUIDE OF THE AUTORECLOSE

FUNCTION (P126 & P127)
5.1
Introduction
An analysis of faults on any overhead line network has shown that:
80 - 90% are transient in nature,
the remaining 10-20% of faults are either non-permanent (arcing fault) or permanent.
A transient fault is a self-clearing non-damage fault. This type of fault can be isolated and
cleared by the immediate tripping of one or more circuit breakers, and does not recur when
the line is re-energised. The most common cause of transient faults are lightning, insulator
flashover clashing conductors and wind blown debris.
The immediate trip will not clear a non-permanent or permanent fault, and the use of the
recloser may be necessary to clear it. A small tree branch falling on the line could cause a
non-permanent fault. Permanent faults could be broken conductors, transformer faults, cable
faults or machine faults that must be located and repaired before the supply can be restored.
Most of the time, if the faulty line is immediately tripped, and the fault arc has sufficient time
to de-ionise, reclose of the circuit breakers will result in the line being successfully reenergised. Autoreclose schemes are used to automatically reclose a switching device once a
time delay has elapsed and starting after the CB has opened.
On HV and MV distribution networks, the autoreclose function is applied mainly to radial
feeders where system stability problems do not generally arise. Using the autoreclose
minimises time of interruption and reduces operating costs.
Automatic autorecloser allows a substation to operate unattended:the number of visits to
manually reclose a circuit breaker is substantially reduced. This feature constitutes therefore
an important advantage for substations supervised remotely.
On circuits using time graded protection, the automatic autorecloser allows the use of
instantaneous protection to give a high speed first trip. With fast tripping, the duration of the
power arc resulting from an overhead line fault is reduced to a minimum, thus lessening the
chance of damage and to develop the transient fault into a permanent fault.
Using short time delay protection prevents blowing of fuses and reduces circuit breaker
maintenance by eliminating pre-arc heating when clearing transient faults.
Current
The next figure shows an example of 4 autoreclose cycles (maximum numbers of allowed
cycles) to the final trip (in the following diagram, td1, td2, td3, td4 = dead time 1, 2, 3 and 4

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
When short time delay protection is used with autoreclose, the scheme is normally arranged
to block the instantaneous protection after the first trip. Therefore, if the fault persists after reclosing, time-graded protection will give discriminative tripping with fuses or other protection
devices, resulting in the isolation of the faulted section. However, for certain applications,
where the majority of the faults are likely to be transient, it is not uncommon to allow more
than one instantaneous trip before the instantaneous protection is blocked.
Some schemes allow a number of re-closings and time graded trips after the first
instantaneous trip, which may result in the burning out and clearance of non-permanent
faults. Such an approach may also be used to allow fuses to operate in teed feeders where
the fault current is low.
Any decision to apply the autoreclose function would be influenced by all data known on the
frequency of transient faults (for instance feeders which consist partly of overhead lines and
partly of underground cables). When a significant proportion of the faults are permanent, the
advantages of autoreclose are small, particularly since re-closing on to a faulty cable is likely
to aggravate the damage.

Description of the function
5.2.1
Autorecloser activation
The autoreclose function is activated using AUTOMAT. CTRL/ PROTECTION G1 menu.
The same settings apply for the Menu PROTECTION G2.
The autoreclose function of the relay is available only if the following conditions are verified:
The auxiliary contact of the CB status 52a must be connected to the relay.
Refer to the AUTOMAT. CTRL/Inputs menu
The trip output relay RL1 must not be latched to the earth and/or phase protection
function.
Refer to the AUTOMAT. CTRL/Latch functions menu
NOTE:
If the auxiliary supply is lost during an autoreclose cycle, the

autoreclose function is totally disabled.
In addition to Autoreclose settings, the user will be able to fully link the autoreclose function
to the protection function using the menus PROTECTION G1/Phase OC and
PROTECTION/E/Gnd.
5.2.2
Logic Inputs
The autoreclose function has four inputs that can be assigned to the autoreclose logic.
These inputs can be opto-isolated inputs configured for that under the AUTOMAT. CTRL
menu. External contacts can then be wired to be used as an input and influence the
autorecloser scheme. These 4 inputs are:
one external CB fail,
two external starting orders,
one external blocking order.
The following table gives the AUTOMAT.CTRL/Inputs menu assigned to the autoreclose
logic input. The second column presents the menu disabling the function if not assigned in
the PROTECTION G1/Autoreclose menu (Setting = No).

5.2.2.1
Page 47/96
External CB fail
Most of circuit breakers provide one trip-close-trip cycle. A delay time is necessary to return
to the nominal state of the CB (for example, the spring that allows the circuit breaker to close
should be fully charged). The state of the CB can be checked using an input assigned to the
CB FLT function. If on completion of the Ext CB Fail time (tCFE), the CB FLT indicates
a failed state of the CB, a lockout occur and the CB remains open.
5.2.2.2
External starting orders

Two independent and programmable inputs (Aux 1 and Aux 2) can be used to initiate the
autorecloser function from an external device (such as an existing overcurrent relay). These
logic inputs may be used independently and also in parallel with the MiCOM P123
Overcurrent settings.
5.2.2.3
Internal and external blocking order

The autoreclose can be blocked by an internal or an external control. It can be used when a
protection is needed without requiring the use of the autorecloser function.
The external block is the Block 79 input.
The internal block can be a final trip, a number of A/R rolling demand valid or an A/R conflict.
A typical example is on a transformer feeder, where the autoreclose may be initiated from
the feeder protection but need to be blocked from the transformer protection side.
5.2.3
Autoreclose Logic Outputs

The following output signals can be assigned to a LED (see CONFIGURATION / Led
menu) or to the output relays (see AUTOMAT.CTRL/Output Relays menu) to provide
information about the status of the autoreclose cycle.

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Autoreclose logic description

The autoreclose function provides the ability to automatically control the autorecloser (two,
three or four shot cycle, settable using Phase Cycles and E/Gnd Cycles menu). Dead
times for all the shots (reclose attempts) can be independently adjusted.
The number of shots is directly related to the type of faults likely to occur on the system and
the voltage level of the system (for instance medium voltage networks).
The Dead Time (tD1, tD2, tD3 and tD4) starts when the CB has tripped (when the 52a input
has disappeared). Dead Time is adjusted to start autoreclose when circuit breaker is closed.
NOTE:
If an electromagnetic relay is used (working on the principle of disc in

the electromagnetic field due to eddy current generated in the disc),
an additional dead time, depending of the tripping cause, is settable,
At the end of the relevant dead time, CB FLT input is sent (see 5.2.2.1).
The reclaim time (tR) starts when the CB has closed. If the circuit breaker does not trip
again, the autoreclose function resets at the end of the reclaim time.
If the protection operates during the reclaim time, the relay either advances to the next shot
that is programmed in the autoreclose cycle, or it locks out (see 5.2.6).
The total number of reclosures is displayed under the MEASUREMENTS/Reclose Stats
menu.
5.2.5
Autoreclose Inhibit Following Manual Close

The Inhib Time tI timer can be used to block the autoreclose being initiated after the CB is
manually closed onto a fault. The Autoreclose is blocked during the Inhib Time tI following
manual CB Closure.
5.2.6
Recloser lockout
If the protection element operates during the reclaim time, following the final reclose attempt,
the relay will lockout and the autoreclose function is disabled until the lockout condition
resets.
The lockout condition can reset by a manual closing after the "Inhib Time tI".
The Autoreclose can also be locked out using a CB FLT input. This information can be
issued from the "not charged" or "Low gas pressure" indications of CB springs.
Note that Autoreclose can also be locked by:
5.2.7
The fact that the CB doesnt open after tBf delay (CB Fail)
An operating time that is above programmed thresholds.
Setting group change lockout

The change of setting groups is only possible if there are no protection or automation
functions running (except the thermal overload function). During the autorecloser cycle, if the
relay receives an order to change setting groups, this order is kept in memory, and will only
be executed after the timer has elapsed.
5.2.8
Rolling demand
This specific counter avoids a frequent operation of a CB in case of frequent intermittent
fault. The numbers of shoot can be adjusted from 1 to 100 in the cell Max cycles nb,
settable in a time period from 10min to 24 hours.
The rolling demand is used when a definite number of successfully recloses are made on a
definite time.

Setting Guidelines
5.3.1
Number Of Shots
Page 49/96
There is no perfect rule to define the number of shots for a particular application.
For medium voltage systems it is common to use two or three autoreclose shots, and, for
specific applications, four shots. Using four shots, final dead time can be set for a time long
enough to allow thunderstorms to stop before definitive final reclose. This scheme prevents
unnecessary lockout caused by consecutive transient faults.
Typically, the first trip, and sometimes the second, are caused by the instantaneous
protection. Since 80% of faults are transient, the following trips will be time delayed, and all
will have increasing dead times to clear non-permanent faults.
In order to determine the number of shots required; the first factor is the ability for the circuit
breaker to perform several trip-close operations in a short time and, the effect of these
operations on the maintenance period.
If a moderate percentage of non-permanent faults is present in a system, two or more shots
are justified. If fused tees are used and the fault level is low, the timer of the fuses may not
discriminate with the main IDMT relay: several shots are usefull. This would not warm up the
fuse to a such extent that it would eventually blow before the main protection operated.
5.3.2
Dead Timer Setting

Load, circuit breaker, fault de-ionising time and protection reset are taken into consideration
when setting the dead timer.
5.3.3
Minimum drop-off time setting

If an electromagnetic relay is used (working on the principle of disc in the electromagnetic
field due to eddy current generated in the disc), an additional dead time (tI>, tI>>, tI>>>, tIe>,
tIe>> or tIe>>>) depending of the tripping cause is settable,
This function includes the choice to select an IDMT curve on the relay reset time, setting the
dropp-off time on phase and neutral autoreclose cycles.
This drop-off time blocks the next cycle if this one not elapsed.
A next cycle can be start if the dead time is elapsed and treset elapsed to.

If dead time > Drop-off time, the relay will close the CB at the end of
dead time.
If dead time < Drop-off time, the relay will close the CB at the end of
dropp-off time.
Load
It is very difficult to optimize the dead time due to the great diversity of load on a system.
However, it is possible to study each type of load separately and thereby be able to define a
typical dead time.
The most common types of loads are synchronous or induction motors and lighting circuits.
Synchronous motors tolerate only extremely short interruptions of supply without loss of
synchronism. In practice, the dead time should be sufficient to allow the motor no-volt device
to operate. Typically, a minimum dead time of 0.2-0.3 seconds is recommended.
Induction motors, on the other hand, can withstand supply interruptions, up to a maximum of
0.5 seconds and re-accelerate successfully. In general dead times of 3-10 seconds are
normally satisfactory, but there may be special cases for which additional time is required to
allow the reset of manual controls and safety devices.
Loss of supply of lighting circuits, such as street lighting, can lead to important safety
problems (car circulation). Regarding domestic customers, the main consideration is linked
to the inconvenience caused.
The number of minutes lost per year to customers will be reduced on feeders using the
autorecloser and will also be affected by the dead time settings used.

5.3.3.2
Page 51/96
Circuit Breaker
For high speed autoreclose, the minimum dead time of the power system depends on the
minimum time delay imposed by the circuit breaker during a trip and reclose operation.
Since a circuit breaker is a mechanical device, it has an inherent contact separation time.
This operating time for a modern circuit breaker is usually within the 50-100ms range, but
could be longer with older designs.
NOTE:
The closing pulse time delay (adjusted using AUTOMAT. CTRL / CB

Supervision / tClose Pulse setting) should be higher than the time
delay necessary to close the CB (mechanical closing and CB Closing
loop). In the same way, the opening pulse time delay (AUTOMAT.
CTRL / CB Supervision / tOpen Pulse setting) should be higher than
the time delay necessary to open the CB. Otherwise, the autorecloser
can be locked.
Once the circuit breaker has reset, the breaker can start to close. The period of time
between the energisation of the closing mechanism and the making of the contacts is called
closing time. Because of the time constant of a solenoid closing mechanism and the inertia
of the plunger, a solenoid closing mechanism may take 0.3s. A spring operated breaker, on
the other hand, can close in less than 0.2 seconds.
Where high speed reclosing is required, for the majority of medium voltage applications, the
circuit breaker mechanism dictates itself the minimum dead time. However, the fault deionising time may also have to be considered.
High speed autoreclose may be required to maintain stability on a network that has two or
more power sources. For high speed autoreclose, the system disturbance time should be
minimised using fast protection, <50 ms, such as distance or feeder differential protection
and fast circuit breakers < 100 ms. Fast fault clearance can reduce the time for the fault arc
to de-ionise.
To ensure stability between two sources, a dead time of <300 ms is typically required.
Considering only the CB, this minimum time corresponds to the reset time of the mechanism
plus the CB closing time. Thus, a solenoid mechanism is not adapted for high speed
autoreclose due to the fact that the closing time is generally too long.
5.3.3.3
Fault De-ionising Time

For high speed autoreclose, the time to de-ionise faults may be the factor the most important
when considering the dead time. This is the time required for the ionised air to disperse
around the fault position so that the insulation level of the air is restored. This time may be
around the following value:
De-ionising time = (10.5 + ((system voltage in kV)/34.5)) / frequency
For 66 kV = 0.25 s (50Hz)
For 132 kV = 0.29 s (50 Hz)
5.3.3.4
Protection Reset
It is essential that the protection fully resets during the dead time, so that correct time
discrimination is maintained after reclose on to a fault. For high speed autoreclose,
instantaneous reset of protection is required.
Typical 11/33kV dead time settings in the UK are as follow:
1st dead time = 5 - 10 seconds
2nd dead time = 30 seconds
3rd dead time = 60 - 100 seconds
4th dead time (uncommon in the UK, however used in South Africa) = 60 - 100 seconds

Application Guide
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

The following factors influence the choice of the reclaim timer:
Supply continuity - Large reclaim times can result in unnecessary lockout for transient
faults.
Fault incidence/Past experience - Small reclaim times may be required where there is
a high incidence of lightning strikes to prevent unnecessary lockout for transient faults.
Charging time of the spring or resetting of electromagnetical induction disk relay - For
high speed autoreclose, the reclaim time may be set longer than the spring charging
time to ensure that there is sufficient energy in the circuit breaker to perform a tripclose-trip cycle. For delayed autoreclose, this setting is of no need as the dead time
can be extended by an extra CB healthy check window time if there is insufficient
energy in the CB. If there is insufficient energy after the check window time the relay
will lockout.
Switchgear Maintenance - Excessive operation resulting from short reclaim times can
mean shorter maintenance periods. A minimum reclaim time of 5s may be needed to
give sufficient time to the CB to recover after a trip and close before it can perform
another trip-close-trip cycle.
The reclaim time must be long enough to allow any time delayed protection leading to
autoreclose to operate. Failure to do so can cause the autoreclose scheme to reset too soon
and the reactivation of the instantaneous protection.
If that were the case, a permanent fault would look like some transient faults, caused by
continuous autorecloses. Applying a protection against excessive fault frequency lockout is
an additional precaution that can solve this problem.
It is possible to obtain short reclaim times to obtain less lockouts of the CB by blocking the
reclaim time from the protection start signals. If short reclaim times are to be used, then the
switchgear rating may dictate the minimum reclaim time.
Sensitive earth fault protection is used to detect high resistance earth faults. The time delay
of such protections is usually a long time delay, typically about 10-15s. If autoreclose is
generated by the SEF protection, this timer must be taken into account when deciding the
value of the reclaim time, if the reclaim time is not blocked by an SEF protection start signal.
Sensitive earth faults, caused by a broken overhead conductor in contact with dry ground or
a wood fence are rarely transient faults and may be dangerous to people.
It is therefore common practice to block the autoreclose using the sensitive earth fault
protection and lockout the circuit breaker.
Where motor-wound spring closed circuit breakers are used, the reclaim time must be at
least as long as the spring winding time for high speed autoreclose to ensure that the
breaker can perform a trip-close-trip cycle.
A typical 11/33kV reclaim time is 3-10 seconds, this prevents unnecessary lockout during
thunderstorms. However, times up to 60-180 seconds maybe used.

Number Of Shots
There are no clear-cut rules for defining the number of shots for a particular application.
Generally medium voltage systems utilize only two or three shot autoreclose schemes.
However, in certain countries, for specific applications, four shot approaches are not
uncommon. Four shots have the advantage that the final dead time can be set sufficiently
long to allow any thunderstorms to pass before re-closing for the final time. This approach
will prevent unnecessary lockout for consecutive transient faults.
Typically, the first trip, and sometimes the second, will result from short time protection.
Since 80% of faults are transient, the subsequent trips will be time delayed, all with
increasing dead times to clear non-permanent faults.
In order to determine the required number of shots the following factors must be taken into
account:
An important consideration is the ability of the circuit breaker to perform several trip-close
operations in quick succession and the effect of these operations on the maintenance period.
If statistical information on a particular system shows a moderate percentage of nonpermanent faults, which could be burned out, two or more shots are justified. In addition to
this, if fused tees are used and the fault level is low, the fusing time may not discriminate
with the main IDMT relay and it would then be useful to have several shots. This would warm
up the fuse to such an extent that it would eventually blow before the main protection
operated.
5.3.7
Dead Timer Setting

The following factors can influence the choice of dead timer setting. Due to the great
diversity of load, which may exist on a system it may prove very difficult to arrive at an
optimum dead time. However, it is possible to address each type of load individually and
thereby arrive at a typical dead time. The most common types of load are addressed below.
Synchronous motors are only capable of tolerating extremely short interruptions of supply
without loss of synchronism. In practice it is desirable to disconnect the motor from the
supply in the event of a fault. The dead time should be sufficient to allow the motor no-volt
device to operate. Typically, a minimum dead time of 0.2 - 0.3 seconds has been suggested
to allow this device to operate. Induction motors, on the other hand, can withstand supply
interruptions, up to a maximum of 0.5 seconds and then re-accelerate successfully. In
Application Guide
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Page 57/96
general dead times of 3 - 10 seconds are normally satisfactory, but there may be special
cases for which additional time is required to permit the resetting of manual controls and
safety devices.
Loss of supply to lighting circuits, such as street lighting may be important for safety reasons
as intervals of 10 seconds or more may be dangerous for traffic. The main considerations of
supply interruptions for domestic customers are those of inconvenience.
An important measurement criterion for many power utilities is the number of minutes lost
per year to customers, which will be reduced on feeders using autoreclose and will also be
affected by the dead time settings used.
For high-speed autoreclose the minimum dead time of the power system will depend on the
minimum time delays imposed by the circuit breaker during a tripping and re-closing
operation.
Since a circuit breaker is a mechanical device, it will have an inherent contact separation
time. The operating time for a modern circuit breaker is usually within the range of 50 - 100
ms, but could be longer with older designs.
After tripping, time must be allowed for the mechanism to reset before applying a closing
pulse. This resetting time will vary depending on the circuit breaker, but is typically 0.1
seconds.
Once the circuit breaker has reset, it can begin to close. The time interval between the
energizing of the closing mechanism and the making of the contacts is termed the closing
time. Owing to the time constant of a solenoid closing mechanism and the inertia of the
plunger, a solenoid closing mechanism may take 0.3 s. A spring-operated breaker, on the
other hand, can close in less than 0.2 seconds.
Where high-speed re-closing is required, which is true for the majority of medium voltage
applications, the circuit breaker mechanism itself dictates the minimum dead time. However,
the fault de-ionizing time may also have to be considered. High-speed autoreclose may be
required to maintain stability on a network with two or more power sources. For high-speed
autoreclose the system disturbance time should be minimized by using fast protection, <50
ms, such as distance or feeder differential protection and fast circuit breakers <100 ms. Fast
fault clearances can reduce the required fault arc de-ionizing time.
For stability between two sources a dead time of <300 ms may typically be required. When
only considering the CB the minimum system dead time is given by the mechanism reset
time plus the CB closing time. Thus, a solenoid mechanism will not be suitable for highspeed autoreclose as the closing time is generally too long.
For high-speed autoreclose the fault de-ionizing time may be the most important factor when
considering the dead time. This is the time required for ionized air to disperse around the
fault position so that the insulation level of the air is restored. This can be approximated from
the following formula:
De-ionizing time = 10.5 +
Vsys
1
[s] (Vsys = System voltage in kV)
34.5 frequency
For 66 kV = 0.25 s (50Hz)

For 132 kV = 0.29 s (50 Hz)
It is essential that the protection fully resets during the dead time, so that correct time
discrimination will be maintained after re-closing on to a fault. For high-speed autoreclose
instantaneous reset of protection is required.
Typical 11/33kV dead time settings in the UK are as follows:
1st dead time = 5 - 10 seconds
2nd dead time = 30 seconds
3rd dead time = 60 - 100 seconds
4th dead time (uncommon in the UK, however used in South Africa) = 60 - 100 seconds

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

A number of factors influence the choice of the reclaim timer, such as:
5.3.8
Supply continuity - long reclaim times can result in unnecessary lockout for transient
faults.
Fault incidence and past experience - short reclaim times may be required where
there is a high incidence of lightning strikes to prevent unnecessary lockout for
transient faults.
Spring charging time - for high-speed autoreclose the reclaim time may be set longer
than the spring charging time to ensure there is sufficient energy in the circuit breaker
to perform a trip-close-trip cycle. For delayed autoreclose there is no need to set the
reclaim time longer than the spring charging time as the dead time can be extended
by an extra CB healthy check window time if there is insufficient energy in the CB. If
there is insufficient energy after the check window time has elapsed the relay will
lockout.
Switchgear maintenance - excessive operation resulting from short reclaim times can
mean shorter maintenance periods. A minimum reclaim time of >5 s may be needed
to allow the CB time to recover after a trip and close operation before it can perform
another trip-close-trip cycle. This time will depend on the duty (rating) of the CB.
The reclaim time must be long enough to allow any time-delayed protection initiating
autoreclose to operate. Failure to do so would result in premature resetting of the
autoreclose scheme and re-enabling of instantaneous protection.
If this condition arose, a permanent fault would effectively look like a number of
transient faults, resulting in continuous autoreclose operations unless additional
measures were taken to overcome this, such as excessive fault frequency lockout
protection.
A sensitive earth fault protection is usually applied to detect high resistance earth
faults.
Usually, a long trip delay time is set, typically 10 - 15 s. This longer time may be taken
into consideration, if autoreclose is started by an earth fault protection, and when
deciding on a reclaim time, if the reclaim time is not blocked by a SEF protection start
signal. Sensitive earth faults, for example, a broken overhead conductor in contact
with dry ground or a wood fence, is rarely transient and presents great danger to
persons and animals. It is therefore common practice to block autoreclose by
operation of sensitive earth fault protection and lockout the circuit breaker.
Where motor-wound spring closed circuit breakers are used, the reclaim time must be
at least as long as the spring winding time for high-speed autoreclose to ensure that
the breaker can perform a trip-close-trip cycle.
A typical 11/33kV reclaim time is 3 - 10 seconds; this prevents unnecessary lockout

during thunderstorms. However, reclaim times up to 60 - 180 seconds maybe used.
Fuse application
An application of the ARC is the coordination with a fuse. This application is typical in rural
areas where derived lines are protected by a fuse.

This menu is used to assign the trip of the protection and the automatic control function to
the relay 1. See the P12y/EN FT (User Guide).
The relay 1 is usually used for the trip of the CB and the logic output is used to start all the
functionality relevant to the CB control.
6.2
Latch relays
Sometimes it occurs to memorise trips or alarms.
By this menu it is possible the latching of the relay from 1 to 8 the relevant relays to the 79
function must not be assigned latched.
6.3

The majority of faults on a power system occur between one phase and ground or two
phases and ground. These are known as shunt faults and arise from lightning discharges
and other overvoltages, which initiate flashover. Alternatively, they may arise from other
causes such as birds on overhead lines or mechanical damage to cables etc.
Such faults induce an appreciable current increase and are easily detectable in most
applications.
Another type of unbalanced system condition is the series or open circuit fault. This fault can
arise from broken conductors, mal-operation of single-phase switchgear, or the operation of
fuses.
Series faults will not induce an increase in phase current on the system and hence are not
easily detectable by standard overcurrent protection elements available with common relays.
However, they will produce an unbalance and an important level of negative phase
sequence current, which can be detected.
It is possible to apply a negative phase sequence overcurrent relay to detect a series fault
condition as described. However, on a lightly loaded line, the negative sequence current
resulting from a series fault condition may be very close to, or less than, the full load steady
state unbalance arising from CT errors, load unbalance etc. A negative sequence protection
element therefore would not operate at low load levels.
The MiCOM P126 and P127 relays incorporate a protection element, which measures the
ratio of negative to positive phase sequence current (I2/I1). This protection element will be
affected to a lesser extent than the measurement of negative sequence current alone, since
the ratio is approximately constant with variations in load current. Hence, a more sensitive
setting may be achieved.
6.3.1
Setting Guidelines
In the case of a single point earthed power system, there will be little zero sequence current
flow and the ratio of I2/I1 that flows in the protected circuit will approach 100%. In the case of
a multiple earthed power system (assuming equal impedance in each sequence network),
the ratio I2/I1 will be 50%.
The setting for the broken conductor protection element is described in Technical Data and
the menu is described in User Guide.
P12y/EN AP/Fa5

6.3.2
Application Guide
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Example Setting
The following information was recorded by the relay during commissioning:
full load = 500A
I2 = 50A
therefore the quiescent ratio for I2/I1 is given by:
I2/I1 = 50/500 = 0.1
To allow for tolerances and load variations a setting of 200% of this value may be typical:
Therefore set RATIO I2/I1 = 20%
Set tBC = 60 s to allow adequate time for short circuit fault clearance by time delayed
protections.
6.4
Inrush Blocking (P127 only)

The inrush blocking function assumes stability protection during transformer energising
based on harmonic 2 presence.
In applications where the sensitivity of overcurrent thresholds need to be set below the
prospective peak inrush current, the inrush block function can be used to block the
overcurrent, earth fault and negative sequence overcurrent stages. During transformer
inrush conditions, the second harmonic component of the inrush current may be as high as
70%. In practice, the second harmonic level may not be the same for all phases during
inrush and therefore the relay will provide an Inrush Blocking signal for any phase above the
set threshold. In general, a setting of 15% to 20% for the Inrush harmonic 2 ratio can be
applied in most cases taking care that setting it too high, inrush blocking may not operate for
low levels of second harmonic current which may result in the O/C element tripping during
transformer energization. Similarly applying a too low a setting, inrush blocking may prevent
tripping during some internal transformer faults with significant second harmonic current.
6.4.1
Overview
Inrush Blocking function operates by measuring ratio of second to fundamental harmonic
current. It could be used as blocking logic of I >, I >>, I >>>, I0 >, I0 >>, I0 >>>, Ie_d>,
Ie_d>>, I2 >, I2 >> or I2 >>> in case the harmonic 2 ratio is higher than the settable
threshold. Indeed, inrush blocking functions will reset selected protection function starting.
The minimum duration of overcurrent threshold inhibition (tReset) can be also set. This value
depends on the transformer power transient inrush duration: between 0.1 second (for a
100kVA transformer) to 1.0 second (for a large unit). It is used to avoid any maloperation
during a fixed duration in case of too sensitive setting.
6.4.2
Operation
For each of the three phases currents (IA, IB, IC), the harmonic restraint function compares
the ratio of harmonic 2 to fundamental with the setting ratio (adjustable from Harmonic 2 /
Fundamental = 10 % up to 35 % step 1%).
Minimum fundamental current value required for operation of Inrush Blocking function. There
is 0.2In, and there is no upper limit to disable this feature. However, in transformer
protection, the high set overcurrent stage shall not be controlled by this Inrush Blocking
feature; this enables detection of all high current faults without inrush blocking.
Inrush Blocking feature will block selected protection stages, any time inrush conditions
occurs on the line (Ratio of 2nd Harmonics measured > Inrush H2 settings ratio), and will be
at least active during tReset.
Operating Inrush current is settable from 10% to 35% of fundamental current.

tReset timer defines the minimum duration of overcurrent threshold inhibition (0-2s, settable).
This timer starts as soon as operating inrush current threshold picks up:
If inrush condition duration is smaller than tReset setting value, selected overcurrent
function will remain inhibited during tReset.
If inrush condition duration is longer than tReset setting value, selected overcurrent
function will be inhibited as long as inrush condition remains valid.
Under inrush condition, the following selectable protection stages will be blocked:
NOTE:
Inrush Blocking in P127 relay is not phase selective. On occurrence of

inrush condition, in any phase, selected protection stages in all 3
phases will be blocked.

Cold Load Pick-up (P126 & P127)

The Cold Load Pick-up feature enables the selected settings of the MiCOM P126 and P127
relays to be changed to react to temporary overload conditions that may occur during cold
starts. This condition may occur by switching on large heating loads after a sufficient cooling
period, or loads that draw high initial starting currents.
When a feeder is energised, the current levels that flow for a period of time following
energising may differ greatly from the normal load levels. Consequently, overcurrent settings
that have been applied to give short circuit protection may not be suitable during this period.
The Cold Load Pick-up (CLP) logic raises the settings of selected stages for a set duration
tCL. This allows the protection settings to be set closer to the load profile. Cold load pick-up
cannot restart until the end of tCL duration. The CLP logic provides stability, without
compromising protection performance during starting.
The CLP can be started by digital logic Input 52a and/or internal threshold detection by (Not
I< & I>) and/or internal threshold detection by (Not I0< & I0>).
If the CB positions are not available, to detect the Cold Load Pick-up start, a new internal
threshold is created named autostart.
To detect the Cold Load Pick-up, the three phases current should be under 5% of In. When
the current grows up to In or more, with a time of less than 200 ms, an internal edge
detection is created.

VTS
The voltage transformer supervision (VTS) feature is used to detect failure of the analog ac
voltage inputs to the relay. This may be caused by internal voltage transformer faults,
overloading, or faults on the interconnecting wiring to relays. This usually results in one or
more VT fuses blowing.
MiCOM P127 is able to detect a VT loss by using VTS automatism. As soon as VT loss is
detected, all voltage dependent functions will be blocked, an alarm can be raised and
directional overcurrent functions might be replaced by non-directional overcurrent functions.
6.6.1
VTS occurrence
VTS automation uses a fixed logic. A VT fault occurs if at least one of the two following
conditions is verified:
OR
negative sequence voltage is greather than 0,17*Vn (0,3*Vn for 3Vpn connexion) and
negative sequence current is smaller than 0,5*In
voltage is smaller than 0,1*Vn and current greather than 0,1*In.
The VT fault disappears as soon as one criteria is not valid anymore.

6.6.2
VTS alarm
A VTS alarm occurs when a VT fault occurs during more than tVTS.
VTS Alarm wont occur if VTS conditions remain valid less than the timer tVTS (settable from
0 to 100s). If VTS condition remains longer than tVTS, this alarm will be latched until
HMI/communication reset.
The VTS alarm menu activates or deactivates the alarm message and LED (see diagram
6.7).
6.6.3
VTS Blocks 51V

Directional protection modification

If a VT is faulty, the VTS alarm occurs and the directional overcurrent (67/67N) protections
do not operate. Only the non-directional overcurrent (50/51/50N/51N) protections are
available for I>, I>>, I>>>; Ie>, Ie>>, Ie>>>, Ie_d> and Ie_d>> thresholds.
The VTS menu gives the possibility to select the protection in case of non directional
overcurrent threshold. The VTS Blocks Protection function can be used to:
block voltage dependent functions
to change directional overcurrents (I>, I>>, I>>>; Ie>, Ie>>, Ie>>>, Ie_d> and Ie_d>>)
into non-directional functions. For instance, when VTS Non dir I> is selected, the non
directional overcurrent protection is available for I> threshold.
VTS Blocks Protection = No
The VTS does not block non directional current
VTS Blocks Protection = Yes
VTS Non dir I> = No
Non directional overcurrent protection

is blocked for I> threshold.
VTS Non dir I> = Yes
Non directional overcurrent protection

is available for I> threshold.
6.6.5
VTS Blocks Protections? submenu will unblock all the non directional overcurrent
protection, or give the possibility to select individually the non directional overcurrent
protection(s),
When VTS Blocks protections? = yes, the non directional overcurrent protections (I>,
I>>, I>>>; Ie>, Ie>>, Ie>>>, Ied> and Ie_d>> thresholds) can be blocked: for instance,
if VTS Non dir I>> = Yes, when a VT fault occurs, the non directional overcurrent
protection is available for I>> threshold.
Voltage/Power protection
If VTS occurs, all voltage and power protection will be blocked:
6.7
Undervoltage phase (27) protection.
Overvoltage earth (59N) protection if connection 3Vpn.
Overpower earth (32N) protection if connection 3Vpn.
Overpower (32) protection if connection 3Vpn.
Current Transformer Supervision (CTS)

The current transformer supervision feature is used to detect failure of one or more of the ac
phase current inputs to the relay. Failure of a phase CT or an open circuit of the
interconnecting wiring can result in incorrect operation of any current operated element.
Additionally, interruption in the ac current circuits risks dangerous CT secondary voltages
being generated.
6.7.1
The CT Supervision Feature

The CT supervision feature operates on detection of derived zero sequence current, in the
absence of corresponding derived zero sequence voltage that would normally accompany it.
The voltage transformer connection used must be able to refer zero sequence voltages from
the primary to the secondary side. Thus, this element should only be enabled where the VT
is of five limb construction, or comprises three single phase units, and has the primary star
point earthed.
Operation of the element will produce a time-delayed alarm visible on the LCD and event
record, with an instantaneous block for inhibition of protection elements. Protection elements
operating from derived quantities are always blocked on operation of the CT Supervision
element.

51V (voltage controlled overcurrent) features (P127 only)

Voltage restrained overcurrent protection is used to clear faults which current is lower than
the rated through current.
Indeed, fault currents lower than the rated value cannot be cleared by phase overcurrent
protection (ANSI codes: 50/51), which, by definition, clears faults which currents are much
higher than the rated current value.
The voltage restrained overcurrent function implemented in the MiCOM P127 is used to
inhibit tripping by the phase overcurrent protection function when the relevant conditions are
met.
To this effect, the 51V function uses negative-sequence overvoltage settable values (V2>
and V2>>), as well as the set threshold values for phase overcurrent (ANSI codes: 50/51)
- I>> and I>>> - and phase undervoltage (ANSI code: 27) - U< and U<< -.
When enabling the 51V function, the user selects whether it should inhibit the 2nd stage
and/or the 3rd stage of the phase overcurrent protection function:
I>> is inhibited when:
the voltage measured at the voltage inputs is higher than U<,
AND the negative sequence voltage is lower than V2>.
I>>> is inhibited when:
the voltage measured at the voltage inputs is higher than U<<,
AND the negative sequence voltage is lower than V2>>.

menu). When these inputs are energised, the associated timers start and, after the set time,
the output relays close (refer to AUTOMAT. CRTL/OUTPUTS menu). The time delays are
independently settable.
The tAux1 and tAux2 timers always provide an alarm when their set time is expired; the
tAux3 and tAuxC provide an alarm only when they are assigned to the trip relay in the
Automatic Ctrl Trip Command menu.
NOTE:

auxiliary timers are settable up to 200ms, except tAux 5, tAux6 and

tAux7, settable up to 20000s.
Selective Scheme Logic (P126 & P127)

The following figure describes the use of non-cascade protection schemes using the start
contacts from downstream relays to block operation of upstream relays.
In the case of Selective Overcurrent Logic (SOL), the start contacts are used to increase the
time delays of upstream relays, instead of blocking them. This provides an alternative
approach to achieving a non-cascade type of overcurrent scheme. It may be more familiar to
some utilities than the blocked overcurrent arrangement.
P0024ENa
TYPICAL SELECTIVE SCHEME LOGIC

The SOL function temporarily increases the time delay settings of the second and third
stages of phase overcurrent. This logic is initiated by energising the appropriate logic input
(Log Sel1 or Log Sel2) as selected in AUTOMAT. CRTL/INPUTS menu.
To allow time for a start contact to initiate a change of setting, the time settings of the second
and third stages should include a nominal delay. Guidelines for minimum
time settings are identical to those given for blocked overcurrent schemes.
The tSel1 and tSel2 timers are independently settable.
See the TD (Technical Data) for the setting values and FT (User Guide) for the selective
scheme logic menu.

Blocking logic function (Blocked directional/non directional overcurrent protection)

The directional non directional overcurrent and overcurrent protection are applicable for
radial feeder circuits where there is small or no back feed.
This application shows that the upstream IDMT relay being blocked by the start output from
a downstream relay that has detected the presence of a fault current, which is above its
threshold settings. Thus both the upstream and downstream relays can then have the same
current and the blocking feature will automatically provide time settings and grading. If the
CB failure protection function is active, the blocking order on the upstream relay will be
removed if the downstream circuit breaker fails to trip.
Thus for a fault downstream from relay C, the start output from relay C will block operation of
relay B, the start output of relay B will block operation of relay A. All the 3 relays could have
the same time and current threshold settings and the grading would be obtained by the
blocking signal received from a relay closer to the fault. This gives a constant, close time
grading, but there will be no back-up protection in the event of the pilots being short
circuited.
However, in practice it is recommended that the upstream relay should be set greater (plus
10%) than the downstream relay setting. This ensures that the downstream relay
successfully blocks the upstream relay when required to do so.

BLOCKING LOGIC

Circuit Breaker State Monitoring

An operator at a remote location requires a reliable indication of the state of the switchgear.
Without an indication that each circuit breaker is either open or closed, the operator has
insufficient information to decide on switching operations. The MiCOM P126 and P127 relays
incorporate a circuit breaker state monitoring function, giving an indication of the position of
the circuit breaker contacts.
This indication is available either on the relay front panel or via the communications network.
The circuit breaker state monitoring function is selectable in the AUTOMAT. CTRL/Inputs
and CONFIGURATION/Led menu.
Further, the MiCOM P126 and P127 relays are able to inform the operator that the CB has
not opened following a remote trip command.
6.13
Circuit Breaker Condition Monitoring (P126 & P127)

Periodic maintenance of circuit breakers is necessary to ensure that the trip circuit and
mechanism operate correctly, and also that the breaking capability has not been
compromised due to previous fault interruptions. Generally, such maintenance is based on a
fixed time interval, or a fixed number of fault current interruptions. These methods of
monitoring circuit breaker condition give a rough guide only and can lead to excessive
maintenance.
The relays record various statistics related to each circuit breaker trip operation, allowing a
more accurate assessment of the circuit breaker condition to be determined. These CB
condition monitoring features are discussed in the following section.
6.14
Circuit Breaker Condition Monitoring Features (P126 & P127)

For each circuit breaker trip operation the relay records statistics as shown in the following
table taken from the relay menu. The RECORDS/CB Monitoring menu cells shown are
counter values only.
These cells can only be read:

The above counters in the CB condition monitoring function may be reset to zero, for
example, following a maintenance inspection and overhaul.
The circuit breaker condition monitoring counters will be updated every time the CB opens,
from all the different way. In cases where the breaker is tripped by an external protection
device it is also possible to update the CB condition monitoring. This is achieved by
allocating one of the logic inputs or via the communications to accept a trigger from an
external device.
The options available for the CB condition monitoring function include the set-up of the
broken conductor protection element and those features, which can be set to raise an alarm,
or to lockout the CB.
All the settings are available in the AUTOMAT. CTRL/CB Supervision menu.

Setting Guidelines
6.14.1.1
Setting the In Thresholds
Application Guide
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Where overhead lines are prone to frequent faults and are protected by oil circuit breakers
(OCB), oil changes account for a large proportion of the life cycle cost for the switchgear.
Generally, oil changes are performed at a fixed interval of circuit breaker fault operations.
However, this may result in premature maintenance where fault currents tend to be low, and
hence oil degradation is slower than expected.
The In counter monitors the cumulative severity of the duty placed on the interrupter
allowing a more accurate assessment of the circuit breaker condition to be made.
For OCBs, the dielectric withstand of the oil generally decreases as a function of
I2t. This is where I is the fault current broken, and t is the arcing time within the
interrupter tank (not the breaking time). As the arcing time cannot be determined accurately,
the relay would normally be set to monitor the sum of the broken current squared, by setting
n = 2.
For other types of circuit breaker, especially those operating on higher voltage systems,
practical evidence suggests that the value of n = 2 may be inappropriate. In such
applications n may be set to 1.
An alarm in this instance for example may be indicative of the need for gas/vacuum
interrupter HV pressure testing.
It is imperative that any maintenance programme must be fully compliant with the switchgear
manufacturers instructions.
6.14.1.2
Setting the Number of Operations Thresholds

Every operation of a circuit breaker results in some degree of wear for its components. Thus,
routine maintenance, such as oiling of mechanisms, may be based upon the number of
operations. Suitable setting of the maintenance threshold will allow an alarm to be raised,
indicating when preventative maintenance is due.
Should maintenance not be carried out, the relay can be set to lockout the autoreclose
function on reaching an operations threshold. This prevents further re-closing when the
circuit breaker has not been maintained to the standard demanded by the maintenance
instructions supplied by the switchgear manufacturer.
Certain circuit breakers, such as oil circuit breakers (OCB) can only perform a specific
number of fault interruptions before requiring maintenance attention. This is because each
fault interruption causes carbonising of the oil, degrading its dielectric properties.
6.14.1.3
Setting the Operating Time Thresholds

Slow CB operation is also indicative of the need for mechanism maintenance. Therefore, an
alarm is provided and is settable in the range of 100 ms to 5 s. This time is set in relation to
the specified breaking time of the circuit breaker.
6.15

Following the inception of a fault one or more main protection devices will operate and issue
a trip output to the circuit breaker(s) associated with the faulted circuit. Operation of the
circuit breaker is essential to isolate the fault, and prevent damage or further damage to the
power system.
For transmission and sub-transmission systems, slow fault clearance can also threaten
system stability. It is therefore common practice to install circuit breaker failure protection
[50BF], which monitors that the circuit breaker has opened within a reasonable time. If the
fault current has not been interrupted following a set time delay from circuit breaker trip
initiation, breaker failure protection (CBF) will operate.
CBF operation can be used to back-trip upstream circuit breakers to ensure that the fault is
isolated correctly. CBF can also operate to reset all start output contacts, by external logic,
ensuring that any blocks asserted on upstream protection are removed.

Circuit Breaker Failure Protection Mechanism

The CB failure protection included in both MiCOM P126 & P127 relays is performed as
follows.
The tBF timer is initiated when a trip order is issued through the logic output RL1 or by an
assigned digital input (start tBFl).
The trip order can be emitted from a protection element or auxiliary function associated to
the logic output RL1, the logic digital input can be energised from an external device.
In case of command from external device the start of the tBF is active by the change of
status of the relevant digital input (edge), when the tBF is expired a CBF signal is issued.
The tBF is reset when the relevant I< BF is verified for each phase. ((Ia< && Ib< &&
Ic<)==TRUE).
In case of a trip by a RL1 the MiCOM P126 & P127 relays monitor the current signal of each
phase and they compare each phase current signal with the undercurrent I< BF threshold
settable its menu. If the undercurrent I<BF is FALSE ((Ia< && Ib< && Ic<)==FALSE) when
the tBF timer is expired a CBF signal is issued, if it is TRUE (((Ia< && Ib< && Ic<)==TRUE)
the tBF timer is reset. A TRUE condition of the I<BF resets the tBF always.
In the CB fail menu it is also possible to choose if to lock the instantaneous I> and Ie>
thresholds when a CBF signal is emitted. This one allows more flexibility in the fault
localisation and isolation.

Breaker Fail Settings

A typical timer setting used with a 2 cycle circuit breaker is around 150 ms.
The phase undercurrent settings (I<) must be set less than load current, to ensure that I<
operation indicates that the circuit breaker pole is open. A typical setting for overhead line or
cable circuits is 20% In, with 5% In common for generator circuit breaker CBF.

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

The trip circuit extends beyond the relay enclosure and passes through more components,
such as fuses, links, relay contacts, auxiliary switch contacts and so on.
This complexity, coupled with the importance of the trip circuit, has directed attention to its
supervision.
The simplest arrangement for trip circuit supervision contains a healthy trip lamp in series
with a resistance placed in parallel with a trip output relay contacts of the protection device.
However, this solution has limitations as no alarm can be generated. Following paragraphs
describe typical application examples.
6.16.1
MiCOM P126 & P127 Trip Circuit Supervision Mechanism

The Trip Circuit Supervision function included in the MiCOM P126 and P127 relays is
described below:
WARNING 1:
SINCE HARDWARE 5 (NAMED ALSO PHASE II), THE VALUES USED IN

THE CALCULATION OF THE EXTERNAL RESISTOR NEEDED FOR THE
TRIP CIRCUIT SUPERVISION HAVE CHANGED.
WARNING 2:
THE POLARISATION CURRENT OF THE LOGIC INPUT MUST BE

3.5mA / 19.2VDC DURING 2ms (MINIMUM). THE HOLDING CURRENT
AFTER THESE 2ms SHOULD BE 2.3mA (SEE P12y/EN TD CHAPTER
FOR SPECIFIC POLARISATION RANGES ACCORDING TO NOMINAL
RANGE).
A logic input is programmed to the AUTOMAT. CTRL/CB Supervision/TC Supervision

function. The logic input is associated to the label Trip Circ within the AUTOMAT.
CTRL/Inputs menu. Then, this logic input is wired in the trip circuit according to one of the
typical application diagrams shown in the following example. The method of connecting the
logic input to provide TC supervision, is shown later.
When the function TC Supervision is set "Yes" within CB Supervision sub-menu, the relay
checks continuously on trip circuit continuity whatever the CB status CB opened or CB
closed. The function TC Supervision is enabled when the trip logic output (RL1) is not
energised. The function TC Supervision is not enabled when the trip logic output (RL1) is
energised.
NOTE:
If RL1 is energised, the Trip Circuit Super alarm message is

displayed in order to inform that the TC Supervision is not enabled.
A 52 Fail (trip circuit failure) signal is generated if the logic input detects no voltage signal
during a time longer than the settable timer tSUP. See Chapter P12y/EN FT (User Guide)
and Chapter P12y/EN TD (Technical Data) for the settings.
As this function is disabled when the trip logic output (RL1) is energised, this function is
suitable for use with the enabled relay latching logic.

Switch onto Fault Protection & Trip on Reclose (SOTF/TOR) (P126 & P127)
6.17.1
General
Under particular conditions, it can happen that when the feeder is supplied by the closing of
the CB a fast trip command may be required if a fault is present (Closing on to fault).
Some faults may be caused by conditions not removed from the feeder after a reclosing
cycle or a manual trip, or due to earthed clamps left on after maintenance works. In these
cases, it may be desirable to clear the fault condition in fast time, rather than waiting for the
trip time delay DMT or IDMT associated with the involved protection.
In case of manually closing of the CB it can happen to switch on to an existing fault. This is a
particularly critical situation, because the overcurrent protection would not clear the fault until
the set operate delay had elapsed. This is another typical case of closing on to fault. Hence it
is desirable to clear the fault as fast as possible.
The P126 and P127 relays provide the SOTF/TOR functionality.
The SOTF acronym means switch on to fault.
The TOR acronym means trip on recloser.
The available setting to enable/disable/set the SOTF/TOR (Switch On To Fault/ Trip On
Reclose) function is written in a submenu of the AUTOMATIC CTRL menu.
The setting regarding the I>> and I>>> is provided to initiate the SOTF function.
6.17.2
SOTF/TOR description
When the SOTF/TOR function is enable, it can be initiated by a local manual CB control
close command detected by the digital input labelled Man.Close, or by a TC (closing
command by remote via network: Modbus, IEC 60870) or by an automatic reclosing cycle.
When CB has been closed on some faults caused by lightning or something else, the fault
detection needs a time period. This is the reason why a 500ms fixed time window after
initiatialization of the SOTF/TOR function is included.
When this fixed timer is elapsed and the I>> or I>>> is detected, the settable timer t Sotf
starts.
The existence of this settable timer is justified because in some applications selectivity for
fault occurring in stage two or three is requested.
Another justification of the SOTF/TOR tripping time delay is for cases where serious
transient happen and the three poles of the CB do not close at the same time and for those
cases where the CB may not be closed instantaneously.
Furthermore, the t SOFT can also be considered a trip delay time that substitutes the trip
timer of the started threshold such to accelerate the tripping.
If a trip due to switch on to fault occurs during the reclaim time of the ARC, the trip will be
definitive and the ARC will move in the blocked status.
If the I>> and I>>> reset during the settable timer t Sotf the SOTF/TOR function resets.
The following signals can activate the SOTF/TOR function:
-
Ctrl close logical input,
manual closing ordered by HMI,
command generated by a digital input labelled SOTF,
front communication order,
rear communication order,
when existing, second rear communication order,

Local/Remote conditioning (P125, P126 & P127)
6.18.1
General
The goal of this feature is to be able to block commands sent remotely through
communication networks (like setting parameters, control command, etc.), to prevent any
accidents or maloperation during maintenance work performed on site.
A digital input labelled LOCAL MODE is assigned to this feature. In Local mode, only the
synchronising time signal is allowed.
Commands sent remotely (CTRL TRIP and CTRL CLOSE) as well as commands sent by the
autoreclose function (CB Close) can be set to activate their own dedicated output relay (and
not necessarily the same output relay as the protection trip output RL1).
6.18.2
Settings
In the AUTOMATIC CTRL/Trip Commands menu, TC item uses the CTRL TRIP function
to open the CB.
In the AUTOMATIC CTRL/Output relays menu, the CTRL TRIP and CTRL CLOSE
functions are assigned to remotely open and close the CB.
The CB CLOSE relay can be used for the close command.
In order to keep the normal functionality, the customer will have to assign both information
TRIP by protection and Ctrl Trip on (RL1), and to assign both information CLOSE CTRL and
CB CLOSE on the same auxiliary relay.
An application of the subject mentioned above is presented below.
In the following schematic, the customer will have to assign the TRIP and CTRL TRIP to the
TRIP RELAY, the CB CLOSE and the CTRL CLOSE to the auxiliary relay number two, in
accordance with setting above.

RECORDS (P125, P126 & P127)
7.1
Event Records
Application Guide
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
The relay records and time tags up to 250 events and stores them in a non-volatile memory.
This enables the system operator to analyse the sequence of events that occurred within the
relay following a particular power system condition, switching sequence etc. When the
available memory space is exhausted, the new fault automatically overwrites the oldest fault.
The real time clock within the relay provides the time tag to each event, to a resolution of
1ms.
The event records are available for viewing either on the front panel, or via the front panel
EIA RS232 port or remotely, via the rear EIA RS485 port.
7.2
Fault Records
Each time any of the programmed thresholds are crossed a fault record is created and
stored in a memory. The fault record tags up to 25 faults and stores them in a non-volatile
memory. This enables the system operator to identify and analyse network failures. When
the available memory space is exhausted, the new fault automatically overwrites the oldest
fault.
Note that viewing of the actual fault record is carried out in the RECORD/Fault Record
menu, which is selectable from up to 25 stored records. These records consist of fault flags,
fault measurements etc. Also note that the time stamp given in the fault record itself will be
more accurate than the corresponding stamp given in the event record as the event is
logged some time after the actual fault record is generated.
The fault records are available for viewing either on the display, or via the front panel EIA
RS232 port or remotely, via the rear EIA RS485 port.
7.3
Instantaneous Recorder
Each time any of programmed threshold is crossed an instantaneous record is created and
displayed in the RECORDS/Instantaneous menu. The last five starting information with the
duration of the information are available. The number of the fault, hour, date, origin (voltage,
current and wattmetric protection thresholds), length (duration of the instantaneous), trip (a
trip is appeared, yes or no) are displayed in the RECORDS/Fault Record menu.
7.4
Disturbance Records
The integral disturbance recorder has an area of memory specifically set aside for
disturbance record storage. The disturbance records that may be stored are 3, 5, 7 or 9
seconds length each. Disturbance records continue to be recorded until the available
memory space is exhausted, at which time the oldest disturbance record(s) is (are)
overwritten to make space for the newest disturbance record(s).
The recorder stores actual samples, which are taken at a rate of 16 samples per cycle.
Each disturbance record consists of analogue data channels and digital data channels. Note
that the relevant VTs and CTs ratios for the analogue channels are also extracted to enable
scaling to primary quantities.
The total disturbance recording time is 5 records of 3 seconds, or 4 3s, or 3 5s, or 2 7s
or 1 9s. The disturbance record starts with the disturbance. If the pre-time time is set to
100ms, the record starts 100 ms before the disturbance.

ROLLING AND PEAK VALUE DEMANDS (P126 & P127)

The MiCOM P126 and P127 relays are able to store the 3 phases rolling average and
maximum subperiod values. The description and principle of calculation are given bellow.
8.1
Rolling demand
The principle of the calculation of the rolling demand value for IA, IB and IC currents is
following:
Calculation of the average of the RMS values on a "Rolling Sub Period" period.
The setting of the width of the period "Rolling Sub Period" is in the "RECORDS/Rolling
Demand/Sub Period" menu.
Setting range: from 1 to 60 minutes.
Storage of these values in a sliding window
Calculation of the average of these average values (sliding window values) on the
number of "Num. of Sub Periods" periods
The setting of the number of Sub Period "Num of Sub Periods" in the "RECORDS/Rolling
Demand/Num of Sub Per" menu.
Setting range: from 1 to 24.
Display of the first result in the MEASUREMENTS menu only after the storage of "Num of
Sub Periods" periods.
The 3 phases Rolling average value are displayed:
Rolling Average IA RMS
Rolling Average IB RMS
Rolling Average IC RMS
The calculation is reset by either "hand Reset" (by key _ ) without use of password, or a
remote command.
NOTE:
In case of loss of power supply the rolling demand are not stored.
A modification of the settings (either "Rolling Sub Period" or "Num of Sub Periods"
parameter) reset the calculation.
Example:
Sub Period = 5 mn
Num of Sub Period = 2
At the end of the Sub Period 2:

Rolling average value = (average value 1 + average value 2)/2
At the end of the Sub Period 3:
New Rolling average value = (average value 2 + average value 3)/2

8.2
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Peak value demand

The principle of the calculation of the Peak value demand for IA, IB and IC currents is
following:
Every "Rolling Sub Period", a new average value is compared with the previous value
calculated at the previous "Rolling Sub Period". If this new value is greater than the
previous value already stored, then this new value is stored instead of the previous one.
In the opposite if this new value is lower than the previous value already stored, then the
previous value is kept stored.
In this way, a average peak vale will be refreshed each Sub Period; There is no dedicated
setting for this calculation. The setting of the Sub Period in the RECORDS menu is used.
The 3 phase Peak value demand are displayed in the MEASUREMENTS menu:
MAX SUBPERIOD IA RMS
MAX SUBPERIOD IB RMS
MAX SUBPERIOD IC RMS
The calculation is reset by either "hand Reset" (by key _ ) without use of password, or a
remote command.
NOTE:
In case of loss of power supply the Peak average values are stored.
A modification of the setting "Rolling Sub Period" parameter reset the calculation.

SETTING GROUP SELECTION (P125, P126 & P127)

The MiCOM P125, P126 relays have two protection related setting groups named
PROTECTION G1 and PROTECTION G2. Only one of two setting groups is active. The
MiCOM P127 relay have eight protection groups (PROTECTION G1 to PROTECTION G8).
Changes between the groups are executed via the front interface (CONFIGURATION /
GROUP SELECT / SETTING GROUP), a dedicated logic input (AUTOMAT CTRL / INPUT
X / CHANGESET) where X is the chosen logic input, or through the communication port
(refer to Mapping Data Base for more detailed information).
To avoid any undesirable tripping, the setting group change is only executed when none
protection function is running excepted than for thermal overload function.
If a setting group change is received during any protection or automation function, it is stored
and executed after the last timer has elapsed.
The active group is displayed in the OP PARAMETER menu.
The active group can also be assigned to an output relay: with a normally open contact.
9.1.1
a contact open will indicate Group 1
a contact closed will indicate Group 2
Setting group change by digital input

It is possible to configure the change of the setting group by a digital input, either on low
level or on high level. The choice can be done in the CONFIGURATION/Inputs menu.
Low level (idem for high level) depending of the application is selectable in the
CONFIGURATION/Group Select/Change Group/Input menu.
If the digital input assigned to the change of setting group operates on level (low or high), it is
not possible to change of setting group via either remote communication or front panel.
Switching between the groups can be done via:
9.1.2
the relay front panel interface (CONFIGURATION / GROUP SELECT / SETTING

GROUP),
a dedicated logic input (AUTOMAT. CTRL/INPUT X / CHANGE SET) where X is

the chosen logic input,
through the communications port.
Priority
The front panel is priority level maximum due the fact when the user takes the hand on front
panel and enters a password , it is not possible to change of setting group via remote
communication as long as the password is active (5mn).
Below are listed the priorities in the different ways to switch between setting groups.

The value for energy is calculated by multiplying the calculated power value by time.
The calculated energy value is stored in a non-volatile memory (EPROM) every second, so
that in case of temporary power supply fault, the previous values calculated can be recalled.
The MiCOM P127 relay provides, on the display, the measurements of the power and of the
energy. Both refer to primary values and rely on the CT and VT ratio.
The maximum active and reactive power value displayed is 9999MW and 9999MVAr.
The maximum active and reactive energy value displayed is 4200GWh and 4200GVArh.
The sign of the active and reactive power/energy values is taken according to the diagram
below.

Additional measurement CT (P127 optional configuration only)

In addition to existing protection CT (Ia, Ib, Ic, I0) and (Va, Vb, Vc), two measurements CT
are added (optional configuration).
The Metering menu is a dedicated menu. Phases currents and voltages are displayed
according to CTM1 and CTM2 phases configuration:
CONFIGURATION / General options

phase A and phase B measured values.
The third phase is computed using the
vectorial equation:
IA + IB + IC =0.
When CTm1 and CTm2 phases are connected, Metering menu displays frequency, 3phases currents, 3-phases voltage, power and energy measured values.
NOTE:
10.2.1
the following explanations are given for phase A. The same equations
are applicable to phase B or phase C using (IBm or ICm) and (VBm or
VCm).

10.2.2
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Currents
The Currents menu displays the magnitude of the measured currents (true RMS value). It
takes into account the CTm connection (see the previous table) and CTm ratio
(CONFIGURATION / Transfo ratio).
MiCOM P127 displays the magnitude of fundamental current, and the magnitude of the
currents up to the 10th harmonics.
10.2.2.1
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Total Demand Distorsion (TDD)

Current Harmonic Distortion is measured by phase in several different ways. The first
method is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The MiCOM P127 THD (THD IAm) equation is
given in the following equation (for phase A):
10
IAmh
THD IAm = 100%
NOTE:
h=2
I1
The denominator I1 is the magnitude of the fundamental current.
Alternatively, Current Harmonic Distortion can be measured as Total Demand Distortion

(TDD). Demand Distortion differs from traditional harmonic distortion in that the denominator
of the distortion equation is a fixed value IL. This fixed denominator value is defined as the
average peak demand, and is set using CONFIGURATION / General options /
IAm TDD denom. cell:
10
IAmh
TDD IAm = 100%
h=2
IL
By creating a measurement that is based on a fixed value, TDD is a "better" measure of

distortion problems. Traditional THD is determined on the ratio of harmonics to the
fundamental. While this is acceptable for voltage measurements, where the fundamental
only varies slightly, it is ineffective for current measurements since the fundamental varies
over a wide range. Using traditional THD, 30% THD may mean a 1 Amp load with 30%
Distortion, or a 100 Amp load with 30% Distortion. By using TDD, these same two loads
would exhibit 0.3%
10.2.2.2
K Factor
K-Factor is a measure of the heating effects on transformers. The following equation is used,
for MiCOM P127, to determine phase A K-Factor, where "h" is the harmonic number and
"IAmh" is the magnitude of the hth harmonic.
10
IAmh h
K IAm = 100
h =1
10
IAmh
h =1
K-Factor is measured on each of the three phases of amps, however there is no "Total" KFactor. K-Factor, like THD, does not indicate the actual load on a device, since all three of
these measurements are ratios. Given the same harmonic ratio, the calculated K-Factor for a
lightly loaded transformer will be the same as the calculated K-Factor for a heavily loaded
transformer, although the actual heating on the transformer will be significantly different.

The Voltages menu displays the magnitude of the measured voltages (true RMS value). It
takes in account the CTm connection (see the previous table) and CTm ratio
(CONFIGURATION / Transfo ratio).
MiCOM P127 displays the magnitude of fundamental voltage, and the magnitude of the
voltages up to the 10th harmonics.
10.2.3.1
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

Voltage Harmonic Distortion is measured by phase in several different ways. The MiCOM
P127 equation for phase A Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is given in the following
equation:
10
VAmh
THD VAm = 100%
h=2
V1
Note the denominator V1 is the fundamental magnitude. For Individual Harmonic Distortion
there is no summation, only one component is used in the numerator.
10.2.4
Powers
The MiCOM P127 displays:
the measured positive & negative active power; see 4.3,
the measured positive & negative reactive power; see 4.3.
the measured total apparent power (product of the per-element Volts and Amps):
P12y/EN AP/Fa5
Application Guide
Page 92/96
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127

the three phase displacement power factor (cosine of the angle between the
fundamental voltage vector and the fundamental current vector): The Total
Displacement Power Factor measurement is calculated using the "Power Triangle, or
the three-phase Fundamental WATTS divided by the three-phase Fundamental VAs.
The per-phase Fundamental VA measurement is calculated from the product of the
per-phase Fundamental Amp and Fundamental Volts values. The three-phase
Fundamental VA measurement is the sum of the per-phase Fundamental VA values
(Arithmetic VAs).
10.2.5
Energies
Separate values are maintained for both positive and negative Watt-hours (export and import
powers) and positive and negative VAR-hours (Lagging and leading VARs. These energy
quantities are calculated every minute from the Total Watts and Total VARs.

LOGIC INPUTS AND LOGIC OUTPUTS
11.1
Logic Inputs
Page 93/96
In the logic input submenu can be set the digital inputs as active high or active low, can be
chosen the supply type DC or AC and it is possible to set the start/stop of the relevant
auxiliary timers assigned to the inputs by front or edge.
By the ordering code it is possible to select the relay with the digital inputs with EA approval
regulation.
See the technical data for further information.
The setting menu for this functionality is in the CONFIGURATION menu. For more details
see FT (User Guide).
In modern protective schemes it is often desirable to synchronize the relays real time clock
so that events from different relays can be placed in chronological order.
This can be done using the communication interface connected to the substation control
system or via an opto-input.
Any of the available opto-inputs on the P12x relay can be selected for synchronization.
Pulsing this input will result in the real time clock snapping to the nearest minute. The
recommended pulse duration is 20ms to be repeated no more than once per minute. An
example of the time synchronization function is shown.

NOTE:
The above assumes a time format of hh:mm:ss
A single digital input can be used for several internal functions or assigned directly to any
output contact
11.2
Logic Outputs
A dedicated output relay is assigned to each logic output. It is possible to set the relays as
self reset or latching.
The two first output contacts (RL1 & RL2) can be used as failsafe relays to provide a fail
safe alarm in case of power supply loss or major hardware failure. Other available relays
can be inverted to reverse NO relays operating condition (output relays closing when logical
state of the signal changes from 1 to 0).

MAINTENANCE MODE
This menu allows the user to verify the operation of the protection functions without sending
any external order (Tripping or signalling).
The selection of the maintenance mode is possible by logic input, control command (rear or
front port), or by front display. The end of maintenance mode is done by logic input, by
control command or on the front display time out ( 5minutes) and by turning off the power
supply.
Maintenance Mode
YES
When activating this menu (YES), the Alarm led will start flashing and an alarm message will
appear MAINTENANCE MODE. In this case, all output contacts are blocked, no operation
will take place on these contacts even if a protection threshold associated to one of these
output contacts is exceeded.
(If protection threshold is exceeded, all the associated leds will become ON, even the TRIP
LED, if the threshold is associated to the RL1).

CT REQUIREMENTS
The CT requirements for the MiCOM P12y relays are given below.
The current transformer requirements are based on a maximum prospective fault current of
50 times the relay rated current (In) and the relay having an instantaneous setting of 25
times rated current (In). The current transformer requirements are designed to provide
operation of all protection elements.
Where the criteria for a specific application are in excess of those detailed above, or the
actual lead resistance exceeds the limiting value quoted, the CT requirements may need to
be increased according to the formulae in the following sections.

MODBUS PROTOCOL
MiCOM P12y relay can communicate by a RS 485 link. The terminals are placed on the rear panel
(terminals 31 and 32). See the GS document for further information on the wiring. The applied
ModBus protocol is compliance with the MODBUS RTU.
2.1
MODBUS connection technical characteristics
2.1.1
MODBUS connection parameters

The different parameters of the MODBUS connection are as follows:
Isolated two-point RS485 connection (2kV 50Hz),
MODBUS line protocol in RTU mode
Communication speed can be configured by an operator dialog in the front panel of the relay:
Baud rate (dec)
300
600
1200
2400
4800
9600
19200
38400
Transmission mode of the configured characters by operator dialog
Mode
1 start / 8 bits / 1 stop: total 10 bits
1 start / 8 bits / even parity / 1 stop: total 11 bits
1 start / 8 bits / odd parity / 1 stop: total 11 bits
1 start / 8 bits / 2 stop: total 11 bits
2.1.2
Exchanges messages synchronisation

Any character received after a silence on the line of more than or equal to a transmission time of 3
bytes is considered as a frame start.
2.1.3
Message validity check
The validation of a frame is performed with a 16-bit cyclical redundancy check (CRC).
The generator polynomial is:
1 + x + x15 + x16 = 1010 0000 0000 0001 binary = A001h

2.1.4
Address
In order to integrate a protection device into a control and monitoring system, the address must be
set from the local control panel. The address may be selected from the range of 1 to 255. The
address 0 is reserved for broadcast messages.

Description of the ModBus protocol

MODBUS is a master-slave protocol where every exchange involves a master device request for
data and a slave devices response with data.
2.3.1
Frame size received from the protection device (slave)

Frame transmitted from the master (query):
Slave number
Function code
1 byte
1 byte
0 to FFh
1 to 10h
Information
n bytes
CRC16
2 bytes
Slave address:
The slave address is in the range from 1 to 255. A transmitted frame with a slave address equal to
0 is a globally addressed to all installed equipment (broadcast frame)
Function code:
The function code returned from the slave in the exception response frame is the code in which the
most significant bit (bit 7) is forced to 1.
Error code:
Among the 8 exception codes of the MODBUS protocol, the protection device manages two:
Code 01: Function code unauthorised or unknown.
Code 03: A value from the data field is unauthorised (incorrect code).
Control of data being read.
Control of data being written.
Control of data address.
Length of request for data message.

CRC16:
The slave calculates the CRC16 value.
NOTE:
2.3.2
The slave device does not respond to globally broadcast frames sent out
from the master.
Format of frames sent from the relay

Frame sent (response)

Slave address:
The slave address is in the range from 1 to 255.
Function code:
Processed MODBUS function (1 to 16).
Data:
Contains reply data to master query.
CRC 16:
CRC16 value calculated by the slave.
2.3.3
Messages validity check

When MiCOM P12y relay (slave) receives a master query, it validates the frame:
If the CRC is incorrect, the frame is discarded as invalid. The slave does not reply to the
request for data. The master must retransmit its request for data. With the exception of a
broadcast message, this is the only case where the slave does not reply to a request for data
from the master.
If the CRC is correct but the slave can not process the request for data, it sends an exception
response to the master.

Warning code:
On the 8 warning codes of the MODBUS protocol, the relay manages two of them:
code 01: function code unauthorised or unknown.
code 03: a value in the data field is unauthorised ( incorrect data ).
- Control of pages being read

- Control of pages being written
- Control of addresses in pages
- Length of request messages

The disturbance data pages contain the values of one channel from one
given disturbance record.
Meaning of each channel value

See pages 38H to 3CH
IA, IB, IC, Ie channels.
The values are signed 16 bits words equivalent to the ADC value.
Phase current values calculation formula
Line phase current value (primary value) = value x phase primary CT ratio x 2 / 800
Earth current values calculation formula
The formula depends of nominal earth current:
0.1 to 40 Ien range
Line earth current value (primary value) = value x earth primary CT ratio x 2 / 800
0.01 to 8 Ien range
0.002 to 1 Ien range
UA, UB, UC/Ue channels.
The values are signed 16 bits words equivalent to the ADC value.
Phase voltage values calculation formula
The formula depends of nominal phase voltage:
57 to 130 V range
Line phase voltage value (primary value) = value x (phase primary VT ratio / phase secondary VT
ratio) x 2 / 126
220 to 480 V range
Line phase voltage value (primary value) = value x 2 / 34

Calculation formula for phase current values

Line phase current value (primary value) = phase sampled value (e.g. adress 3800h, 3801h or
3802h) * phase primary CT * (1 / internal phase ratio) * 2
Calculation formula for earth current values
Line earth current value (primary value) = earth sampled value (e.g. adress 3803h) * earth primary
CT ratio * (1 / internal earth ratio) * 2
Line phase voltage value (primary value) = 100 * phase sampled value (e.g. address 3804h or
3805h or 3806h if Uc) * (phase primary VT / phase secondary VT) * (100 / internal VT
denominator) * 2
phase primary VT is expressed in 10 V:
phase primary VT = 4 means 40 V.
phase secondary VT is expressed in 0.1 V:
phase secondary VT = 4 means 0.4 V.
phase internal VT denominator = 12 600 in A range, and 3 400 in B range.

Line earth voltage value (primary value) = earth sampled value (e.g. address 3806h if Ue) * earth
primary VT ratio / earth internal VT ratio * 2
Earth voltage value (primary value) = 100 * earth sampled value (e.g. address 3806h) * (earth
primary VT / earth secondary VT) * (100 / internal VT denominator) * 2
earth primary VT is expressed in 10 V:
earth primary VT = 4 means 40 V.
earth secondary VT is expressed in 0.1 V:
earth secondary VT = 4 means 0.4 V.
earth internal VT denominator = 12 600 in A range, and 3 400 in B range.

Events records
To upload the events records two requests are allowed:
Page 35h: request to upload an event record without acknowledges of this event.
Used addresses:
3500h:
54Ah:
EVENT 1
EVENT 75
Page 36h: request to upload the non-acknowledged oldest stored event record.
Two modes are available for the acknowledgement: automatic acknowledgement or manual
acknowledgement
The mode depends of the state of bit 12 of remote control word (address 400 h).
If this bit is set, then the acknowledgement is manual else the acknowledgement is automatic.
In automatic mode, the reading of the event acknowledges the event.
In manual mode, it is necessary to write a specific command to acknowledge the oldest event
(set the bit 13 of control word addressed to 400 h)

Two modes are available for the acknowledgement: automatic acknowledgement or manual
acknowledgement
The mode depends of the state of bit 12 of remote control word (address 400 h).
If this bit is set, then the acknowledgement is manual else the acknowledgement is automatic.
In automatic mode, the reading of the fault acknowledges automatically the event.
In manual mode, it is necessary to write a specific command to acknowledge the oldest fault.

Spontaneous messages
These messages include a sub-assembly of the events, which are generated on the relay.
The messages considered are concerning highest priority events.
An event is always generated on the rising edge of the information; some can be generated also on
falling edge.
In the list below, events generated only on rising edge will be tagged with a *.
1.2.1
Time Tagged Message

Two types of ASDU can be generated for events:
ASDU 1: time-tagged message
ASDU 2: time-tagged message with relative time
In the following list of processed events, FUNCTION NUMBERS (FUN) 160 and 161 are used for
Public range, respectively for current and voltage protections data, and FUNCTION NUMBERS
(FUN) 168 and 169 are used for Private range, respectively for current and voltage protections

System state
It is given in the answer to the General Interrogation (GI).
Relay state information is Class 1 data, they are systematically sent to the master station, during a
General Interrogation.
The list of processed data, following a General Interrogation, is given below; it is a sub-assembly of
the spontaneous messages list, so like spontaneous messages, these data are generated on rising
and falling edge.
The following indications are sent to the master station if the option Basic or Advanced
GI is chosen in the COMMUNICATION / GI Select menu.

Synchronisation Command: ASDU 6

FUN<255>;INF <0>; TYP <6>; COT<8>
This command can be sent to a specific relay, or global.

The time sent by master is the time of the first bit of the frame. The relay synchronises with this
time, corrected by the frame transmission delay. After updating its time, the relay sends back
acknowledgement info to the master, by giving its new current time. This acknowledgement
message will be an event of ASDU 6 type.
General Interrogation Initialisation command: ASDU 7

This command starts the relay interrogation.

The relay then sends a list of data containing the relay state (see the list described above).
The GI command contains a scan number which will be included in the answers of the GI cycle
generated by the GI command.
If a data has just changed before extracted by the GI, the new state is sent to the master station.
When an event is generated during the GI cycle, the event is sent in priority, and the GI cycle is
temporarily interrupted. The end of a GI consists in sending an ASDU 8 to the master station.
If, during a General Interrogation cycle, another GI Initialisation command is received, the previous
answer is stopped, and the new GI cycle is started.

This command must be used in association with data mapped at address 664h (source setting
group) and 665h (destination setting group).
After executing one of these commands, the relay sends an acknowledgement message, which
contains the result of command execution.
If a state change is the consequence of the command, it must be sent in a ASDU 1 with COT 12
(remote operation).
If the relay receives another command message from the master station before sending the
acknowledgement message, it will be discarded.
Commands which are not processed by the relay are rejected with a negative acknowledgement
message.

DNP-3 PROTOCOL
1.1

The purpose of this document is to describe the specific implementation of the Distributed
Network Protocol (DNP) 3.0 within P12y MiCOM relays.
P12y uses the Triangle MicroWorks, Inc. DNP 3.0 Slave Source Code Library Version 2.18.
This document, in conjunction with the DNP 3.0 Basic 4 Document Set, and the DNP Subset
Definitions Document, provides complete information on how to communicate with P12y via
the DNP 3.0 protocol.
This implementation of DNP 3.0 is fully compliant with DNP 3.0 Subset Definition Level 2,
contains many Subset Level 3 features, and contains some functionality even beyond Subset
Level 3.
1.2
DNP V3.00 Device Profile

The following table provides a Device Profile Document in the standard format defined in the
DNP 3.0 Subset Definitions Document. While it is referred to in the DNP 3.0 Subset
Definitions as a Document, it is only a component of a total interoperability guide. This table,
in combination with the following should provide a complete interoperability/configuration
guide for P12y:
the Implementation Table provided in paragraph 4.3 (beginning on page 118),
and the Point List Tables provided in Section 4.4 (beginning on page 120).

Note 1:
A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is

requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans.
Note 2:
For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only

responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively.
Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or
08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. (For change-event
objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3:
For P12y, a cold restart is implemented as a warm restart the

executable is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

Analog Inputs
The following table lists Analog Inputs (Object 30). It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit
variations of Analog Inputs, Analog Output Control Blocks, and Analog Output Statuses are
transmitted through DNP as signed numbers. Even for analog input points that are not valid
as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767. For each point, the
Scaling and Units column indicates the value of a transmitted 32767. This also implies the
value of a transmitted 32767. The entry in the column does not imply a valid value for the
point.
Always indicating the representation of 32767 in the tables below is a consistent method for
representing scale, applicable to all scaling possibilities.
The Default Deadband, and the Default Change Event Assigned Class columns are used
to represent the absolute amount by which the point must change before an analog change
event will be generated, and once generated in which class poll (1, 2, 3) will the change event
be reported. Only the default values for these columns are documented here because the
values may change in operation due to either local (user-interface) or remote (through DNP)
control.
Every Analog Inputs points are included in class 0 polls, because they are included in one of
classes 1, 2 or 3.

REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING

The MiCOM P125 P126 and P127 relays are fully numerical in their design, implementing all
protection and non-protection functions in software. The MiCOM relays employ a high
degree of self-checking and, in the unlikely event of a failure, will provide an alarm. As a
result of this, the commissioning test does not need to be as extensive as with non-numerical
relays (static or electromechanical).
To commission MiCOM relays, it is only necessary to verify that the hardware is functioning
correctly and the application-specific software setting have been applied to the MiCOM relay.
It is considered unnecessary to tests every function of the relay if the settings have been
verified by one of the following method:
Extracting the settings applied to the relay using the appropriate setting software
(preferred method)
Via the front panel user interface.

REMINDER:
It is not possible to download a new setting software as long as

the programming mode is active.
To confirm that the product is operating correctly once the application-specific settings have
been applied, a test should be performed on a single protection element.
Unless previously agreed to the contrary, the customer will be responsible for determining
the application-specific settings to be applied to the MiCOM relays and for testing of any
scheme logic applied by external wiring.
Blank commissioning test and setting records are provided
P12y/EN RS of this Technical Guide for completion as required.

COMMISSIONING TEST ENVIRONMENT
2.1
Important notes
All the commissioning tests of the MiCOM P125, P126, and P127 relays are carried out by
injecting currents and voltages to the secondary of the earth and/or phases CTs and VTs
using appropriate injection test sets provided for this purpose.
2.1.1
Injection test sets

The test of directional protection within P125, P126 and P127 requires at least a phase
current, phase to phase and residual voltage injection.
The test equipment must provide tools to change the phase between voltage and current.
For reasons of convenience (weight, spatial requirement, transportation), a single-phased
current injection and single voltage test set is more suitable for commissioning and is able to
perform all commissioning tests regarding overcurrent directional/non directional protection
of MiCOM P125, P126 & P127 relays.
Thus, the following descriptions indicate how to conduct the commissioning tests with a
single-phase injection test set.
However, for certain commissioning tests, the three-phase wiring diagrams are easier to
understand and in this case the description is also given in three-phase format.
Single-phase injection test set:
1 current (0 to 50 A), timer (precision 1 ms).
1 voltage (30 to 130V), timer (precision 1 ms)
Three-phase injection test set:
3 currents (0 to 50 A), timer (precision 1 ms).
3 voltage (30 to 130V), timer (precision 1 ms)
Possibility to lag the current respect to voltage injection.

2.1.2
Additional commissioning test equipment:
1 multimeter (precision 1%),
1 connecting terminal to measure the currents exceeding 10 A (precision 2%),
Test plugs and wires to carry out injections to the CT's secondary (dimension according to
the currents injected).
2.1.3
Communication
Using the RS 485 communication on the rear connector of the MiCOM P125, P126 & P127
relays or using the RS232 front port can make all commissioning test records.
All above in according

PRODUCT VERIFICATION TESTS

3.1
Allocation of terminals
It is necessary to consult the appropriate wiring diagram provided in the chapter
P12y/EN CO of this Technical Guide whilst observing the various polarities and ground/earth
connection.
3.2

Before any handling of the module (active part of the relay), please refer to the
recommendations in Safety Section of this Technical Guide.
3.3
Visual inspection
Carefully examine the relay to see if there has been any possible deterioration following
installation.
Check if the external wiring corresponds to the appropriate relay diagram or the assembly
diagram. The reference number of the relay diagram is indicated on a label situated under
the upper flap of the front panel.
When the relay is outside from its case, use a continuity tester to test that the current shortcircuits (phases and earth CT's) between the terminals indicated on the wiring diagram are
closed.
3.4
Earthing
Check if the earth connection of the case situated above the rear terminal block is used to
connect the relay to a local earth bar. With several relays present, make sure that the copper
earth bar is properly installed for solidly connecting the earthing terminals of each case.
3.5
Current transformers (CT's)

DANGER:
NEVER OPEN CIRCUIT THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A CURRENT

Use of a Core Balance CT for earth faults

If a core balance CT is used to detect earth faults, prior to any test, the user must check the
following points:
3.6.1
MV or HV cable screens and core CT,
No current flow through the MV or HV cables,
Orientation of the core CT (P1-S1, P2-S2)
Cable shields and core CT

When mounting a core balance CT around electric cables, check the connection to the earth
of the cable shields. It is vital that the earth cable of the shield moves in the opposite
direction through the core CT. This cancels the currents carried by the cable shields through
the core CT.

Core CT polarity
It is necessary to check the polarity of the core CT by following the figure below:
Momentarily connect the battery + to P1 and to P2. The centre zero ammeter connected
with + to S1 and to S2 will deflect in the positive direction if the wiring is correct.
The phase CT may be tested using the same method.

Logic inputs
This test checks that all the opto-isolated inputs are functioning correctly. The P125 has 4
(+5 optional) opto-isolated inputs while P126 and P127 have 7 logic opto-isolated inputs.
The opto inputs should be energised a time. The status of the input can be viewed using

Logic outputs
This test checks that all output relays are functioning correctly. The P126 and P127 relays
have 8 outputs, P125 relay has 6 outputs.
The watch dog relay is always on. In case of relay failure the watch dog relay moves to the
off and the terminals 35-36 are opened.
The status of the outputs can be viewed using menu OP. PARAMETERS/ Relay Status, an
indicating 1 means relay supplied and a 0 indicating means relay non-supplied. When each
output relay is closed one of the characters on the bottom line of the menu display will
change to the value show in the following table to indicate the new state of the output relays.

RS 485 rear communication

This test should only be performed where the relay is to be accessed from a remote location
and will vary depending on the communication protocol being adopted (refer to label under
the upper flap).
It is not the intention of the test to verify the operation of the complete system from the relay
to the remote location, just the relay's rear communication port and any protocol converter
necessary.
Connect a laptop PC to the RS485 rear port (first or second port when present) and check
the communication with the appropriate command.

SETTING CHECK
The setting checks must ensure that all relay settings have been correctly applied to the
relay for the specific application.
Transfer the setting file to the relay using a laptop PC running the appropriate software via
the RS232 front port or the RS485 rear port.
This is the preferred setting transfer method, because it is faster and there are fewer margins
for errors.
If the setting software is not used, the relay settings must be checked manually via the relay
front panel interface.
The commissioning checks are as follows:
4.1

Settings verify and delivery to customer
2.
Validation of the measurements
3.
Validation of the thresholds and associated timers.
Settings
Log the settings on the commissioning test sheets.

Final checks
1.
Remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc If it is necessary to disconnect any
of the external wiring from the relay in order to perform the wiring verification tests, it
should be ensured that all connections are replace in accordance with the relevant
external connection or scheme diagram.
2.
If a MMLG test block is installed, remove the MMLB01 test plug and replace the
MMLG cover so that the protection is put into service.
3.
For MiCOM P126 and P127 models, ensure that all event, fault and disturbance
records, alarm and LEDs have been reset before leaving the relay.
4.
If the relays are in a new installation or the circuit breaker has been just maintained,
the circuit breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. These counters
(only P126 & P127) have to be reset using relevant command in RECORD/CB
Monitoring menu (refer to User Guide).

MAINTENANCE
5.1
Equipment failure
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays are full digital and permanent self-diagnosing. Any
failure of software or hardware elements is instantly detected. As soon as an internal fault is
detected, depending on its type (minor or major), an alarm message is displayed as a priority
on the front panel LCD before the fault LED is illuminated (fixed or flashing) and the
watchdog relay is closed (if the fault is a major one).
The watchdog facility provides two output relay contacts, one normally open and one
normally closed that are driven by the processor board. These are provided to give an
indication that the relay is in a healthy state.
An equipment failure (major or minor) cannot be acknowledged on the front panel (using the
dedicated tactile button keypad). Only the disappearance of the cause will acknowledge the
fault and hence reset the fault LED.
5.1.1
Minor fault
Regarded by the MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays as a minor fault is a communication
failure. If the communication is in fault, MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 protection and
automation modules are not affected.
Message:
"COMM.ERROR":
Communication fault
Cause:
Hardware or software failure of the communication module
Action:
Withdraw the active part and return it to the factory for repair.
Alternative:
If communication is not used, disable communication in the COMMUNICATION menu
(Communication ? = No).
5.1.2
Major fault
Major fault for MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays are all software and hardware failures
except the communication faults. As soon as this type of failure is detected, the watchdog
(WD) is closed and all operations are stopped (protection, automation, communication).
5.1.3
Hardware and software faults

Messages:
"DEFAULT SETTING": Indication that the relay is running with default setting
"SETTING ERROR": Failure in the setting
" CALIBRATION ERROR.": Calibration zone failure
"CT ERROR": Analogue channel failure
Cause:
Hardware or software failure
Action:
Restart the protection software.
If the software fault still remain after restart, withdraw the active part and return the module
to the factory for repair.

MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
5.2
Method of repair
5.2.1
Replacing the active part
P12y/EN CM/Fa5
Page 21/22

The case and the rear terminals blocks have been designed to facilitate removal of the
MiCOM P12x relay should replacement or repair become necessary without disconnect the
scheme wiring.
NOTE:
The MiCOM relays have integral current transformer shorting switches

which will close when the active part is removed from the case.
Remove the upper and lower flap without exerting excessive force. Remove the external
screws. Under the upper flap, turn the extractor with a 3 mm screwdriver and extract the
active part of the relay by pulling from the upper and lower notches on the front panel of the
MiCOM relay.
The reinstall the repaired or replacement relay follow the above instruction in reverse,
ensuring that no modification has been done on the scheme wiring.
5.2.2
Replacing the complete relay

To remove the complete relay (active part and case) the entire wiring must be removed from
the rear connector.
Before working at the rear of the relay, isolate all current supplies to the MiCOM relay and
ensure that the relay is no more powered.
DANGER:
NEVER OPEN CIRCUIT THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT OF A CURRENT

TRANSFORMER SINCE THE HIGH VOLTAGE PRODUCED MAY BE
LETHAL AND COULD DAMAGE INSULATION.
Remove all wiring (communication, logic inputs, outputs, auxiliary voltage, current inputs).
Disconnect the relay earth connection from the rear of the relay.
Remove the screws used to fasten the relay to the panel, rack, etc .These are the screws
with the larger diameter heads that are accessible when the upper and lower flaps are open.
Withdraw the relay from the panel, rack, etc carefully because it will be heavy due to the
internal transformers.
To reinstall the repaired or replacement relay follow the above instructions in reverse,
ensuring that each terminal block is relocated in the correct position and case earth,
communication are replaced.
Once reinstallation is complete the relay should be recommissioned using the instruction in
sections 1 to 4 inclusive of this chapter.
5.3
Problem solving
5.3.1

Problem:
Cause:
MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays are supplied with the password set to AAAA.
This password can be changed by the user (refer OP PARAMETERS menu).
P12y/EN CM/Fa5
Page 22/22
MiCOM P125/P126 & P127
Action:
There is an additional unique recovery password associated to the relay which can be
supplied by the factory or service agent, if given details of its serial number (under the upper
flap of the front panel). With this serial number, contact your Schneider Electric local dealer
or Schneider Electric Customer Care Center.
5.3.2
Communication
5.3.2.1
Values measured locally and remotely

Problem:
The measurements noted remotely and locally (via RS485 communication) differ.
Cause:
The values accessible on the front face via the Measurement menu are refreshed every
second. Those fed back via the communication and accessible by the Schneider Electric
Setting software generally have skeletal refreshing frequencies. If the refreshing frequency of
the supervision software differs from that of MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays (1s), there
may be a difference between indicated values.
Action:
Adjust the frequency for refreshing the measurements of the supervision software or of the
setting software to 1 second.
5.3.2.2
MiCOM relay no longer responds

Problem:
No response from MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 relays when asked by the supervision
software without any communication fault message.
Cause:
Mainly, this type of problem is linked to an error in the MiCOM P125, P126 and P127
communication parameters.
Action:
Check MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 communication parameters (data rate, parity, etc.) are
in accordance with the supervision settings.
Check MiCOM P125, P126 and P127 network address.
Check that this address is not used by another device connected on the same LAN.
Check that the other devices on the same LAN answer to supervision requests.
5.3.2.3
A remote command is not taken in account

Problem:
The communication between the relay and the PC is correct, but the relay does not accept
any remote command or file downloading.
Cause:
Generally this is due to the fact that the relay is in programming situation. This means that
the password is active.
Action:
Check that the password is not active in the relay since the last 5 minutes.

Directional earth fault overcurrent

The setting range depends on the sensitivity of the relay type.
However the setting value is expressed in Ien and this one bypasses the problem.
The test is proposed for the first stage, but using the same values can be executed for the
others stages two stages.

Earth Fault Wattmetric protection test

The earth fault wattmetric protection can be tested but as above needs of the residual
voltage injection the wattmetric power is calculated as Ie x Ue x cos (IeÛe+c)
The calculation is referred to the secondary values.
The same test can be repeated for the second stage.
Type and setting Pe stage are in
watt referred to the secondary.
The setting value depends on the
set nominal Ien current (1A).

To execute the ARC test you have to connect an external relay for the
monitoring the CB status (52a OFF when the CB is open, ON when
CB is closed). Further the flowing of the current to the relay must be
interrupted when the 52a is OFF; CB is open.
ARC test procedure with tI>
Close the CB and inject current the led 7 lights for 0.2 s.
After 1 sec the CB open tD1 start the led 8 lights
After 5 seconf the CB closes and start tR
After 1 sec. The CB open and td 2 start
When we are to the td 4 when the CB close and after 1 sec the tI> trip the 79 trip and
Recl Blocked will be actived. 4 shots was done.
ARC test procedure with tIe>
Close the CB and inject the Ie current, the led 7 lights for 0.2 s.
After 1 sec the CB does not open and tDx does not start none led will be light
This result is corrected because to the Ie was imposed the setting 2.

P126 & P127 FURTHER TESTS
3.1
Introduction
The following procedures are written for demonstrating the main protection functions of the
MiCOM P126 (where possible) & P127 relays using an Omicron test or similar. The tests do
not test the limits / boundaries of all available function characteristics. They do tests that the
function is operating at one or two chosen points an a characteristic. This document is not a
complete commissioning procedure but could be referred to when performing commissioning
tests in association with the commissioning section of the service manual.
The procedures will state if a deviation from the standard connections or default settings is
required for testing a particular function. For specific on site applications only enabled
functions would be tested using application specific settings.
3.2
Test equipment
The test procedure has been written on the assumption that an Omicron, or equivalent, test
set will be used. Auxiliary supplies of adequate rating will also be required.

SERIAL NUMBER HELP

The serial number (e.g. 0804253) informs about the date of manufacture and the version
of hardware. It printed on the front relay label. This number is read from left to right:
- 2 first number define the week (e.g. 08 is the calendar week 8).
- 2 number following define the year (e.g. 04 is the year 2004).
- 3 final is a consecutive number up to 999 to uniquely identify the relay.
E.g.: W W Y Y N N N
- W = Week 01 To 52
- Y = Year (19)94 To (20)93
- N = Product Arrang. 001 To 999
