2. General Characteristics

The MC is a very innovative and versatile line of Protective Relays which takes advantage of the long
and successful experience coming from the M-Line.
The main features of the MC-Line relays are:
Compact draw-out execution for Flush Mounting or for assembly in 19” 3U chassis for 19” Rack systems.
User friendly front face with 2x8 characters LCD Display, four signal Leds, four keys for complete local
management and 9-pin socket for local RS232 serial communication.
Four user programmable Output Relays. On request one of the Output Relays can be replaced by a Can
Bus port for control of additional I/O modules.
Three optoisolated, selfpowered Digital Inputs.
RS485 communication port (independent from the RS232 port on front panel)
Totally draw-out execution with automatic C.T. shorting device.
Input currents are supplied to 3 current transformers: measuring phase currents.
An additional internal CT directly measures the residual (Zero Sequence) current of the three inputs.
Current inputs can be 1 or 5A: selection between 1A or 5A is made by movable jumpers provided on the
Relay card. (see Fig 1)

The Measuring Ranges of the different inputs

respectively are:
Phase Currents : (0.1-40)In
Residual Current : (0.01-10)In

Make electric connection in conformity with the

diagram reported on relay's enclosure.

2.2.5.5.1 – Automatic doubling or Overcurrent thresholds on current inrush

For some of the phase Overcurrent functions it is possible to have the set trip level [Is]
automatically doubled when strong inrush current is detected.
If at circuit Breaker switch-on (i.e. when the input current rises from zero to a minimum
measurable value) the current increases from 0 to 1.5 times the rated value [In] in less than
60ms, the set minimum pick-up level [Is] is dynamically doubled ([Is][2Is]) and keeps this value
until the input current drops below 1.25xIn or the set time [t2xI] has elapsed.
This functionality is very useful to avoid spurious tripping of the instantaneous or short-time
delayed Overcurrent elements that could be experienced at switch-on of reactive loads like
Transformer or Capacitors.

3. Logic Blocking of Functions

3.1 - Blocking output

The instantaneous element of each of the protection functions (1F50, 2F50, 3F50, 1F50N, 2F50N,
3F50N) can be programmed to control one of the Output Relays.
This relay picks-up as soon as the input quantity exceeds the set trip level of the Protection Function
and it automatically resets when the input quantity drops below the function reset level (95% of the
trip level) or, in any case as soon as the time delay (tBF) of the Breaker Failure function is expired.
This instantaneous output can be used to activate the Blocking Input of another Protection Relay to
implement a logic selectivity systems. As above explained, in case of Breaker Failure, the blocking
output is released and the back-up protection enabled.

3.2 – Blocking Output

The time delayed tripping of any of the Protection functions (1F51, 2F51, 3F51, 1F51N, 2F51N,
3F51N) can be controlled by the activation of the Digital Input D1 (BI=Enable): in this case the set trip
time delay of the function is increased by “2xtBF” so that other Protection Relays (set with the same
trip time delay) that send the activation signal to the blocking Input D2, can trip before open and the
C/B nearest to the Fault.
Also in this case, however, another “2xtBF” seconds from the expiry of the set trip time delay, the
blocking input is disregarded so allowing the protection relay to trip in case of Failure to open of the
upstream Circuit Breaker.

4. Output Relays

Three user programmable Output Relays are normally available on main relay R1, R2, R3, by a Field
Bus output (CANBUS) that controls additional number of user programmable Output Relays 1.R1, 1.R2,
1.R3, 1.R4.
Each of them can be programmed to be controlled by any element (instantaneous or time delayed) of
any of the Relay Functions including Remote trip and Internal Relay Fault.
Moreover, the operation of each of the output relays can be programmed to be either Normally
Deenergized (energized on tripping of the controlling Functional Element) or Normally Energized
(Deenergized on tripping of the controlling Functional Element).

5. Digital Inputs

The firmware can manage up to 13 digital inputs and 7 output relays; among these, 3 digital inputs and 3
output relays are available on the relay module, the remaining are available on additional expansion
(UX10-4) modules controlled via the CAN-Bus communication channel.

A Digital Input is activated when its terminals are shorted by a cold contact.

Available in the Main relay

D1 Digital Input “D1” (terminals 22 - 19) It is usable as Function Blocking Input.
D2 Digital Input “D2” (terminals 22 - 21) It is used for Remote Trip.
D3 Digital Input “D3” (terminals 22 - 20) The digital Input indicates the position of the Circuit
Breaker
(Input Closed = C/B closed; Input Open = C/B open).
If the option External Trigger = Enabled any time the DI
passed from closed to open the oscillographic recording is
started.

(UX10-4) Additional Expansion Module

D1 Digital Input “1.D1”
D2 Digital Input “1.D2”
D3 Digital Input “1.D3”
D4 Digital Input “1.D4”
D5 Digital Input “1.D5” By the interface program “MSCom 2” it is possible view the
D6 Digital Input “1.D6” status or via RS485 port (Modbus protocol).
D7 Digital Input “1.D7”
D8 Digital Input “1.D8”
D9 Digital Input “1.D9”
D10 Digital Input “1.D10”

6. Self-diagnostic

The relay incorporates a sophisticated self-diagnostic feature that continuously checks the following
elements:

 A/D conversion
 Checksum of the settings stored into E2Prom.
 DSP general operation (Power, Routines, etc.)
 Lamp test (only on manual test).

Any time Power is switched on, a complete test is run; then, during normal operation, the test runs
continuously and the checksum is done any time a parameter is stored into E2Prom.
If during the test any Relay Internal Failure (I.R.F) is detected:

 If “ I.R.F. “ is programmed to “ Trip “, the programmed output relays are operated same as on
tripping of any protection function operation is stored in the “ Event Records “ and the I.R.F. signal
led is set to flashing.
 If “ I.R.F. “ is programmed to “NO Trip”, and only the I.R.F. signal led is set to flashing.

7. Relay Management

The relay can be totally managed locally, either by the RS232 communication port or by the 4 key
buttons and the LCD display, or remotely via the communication bus RS485 connected to the rear
terminal blocks. The 2 line x 8 characters LCD display shows the available information.

To associate one of the Output Relays to one or more functions (see § 13): enter the menu “R/W Set”,
select “Relay Cfg”, select the “Relay #” to be programmed, select “Link”; at this stage the list of the
available functions is displayed. Scrolling the list by the “+” and “-“ keys the function is selected and
than assigned by the key “Enter”. The assignation is confirmed by the function indication that switches
from blinking to steady.
Any of the Output Relays can be programmed to work in two different modes:

 N.D. Normally Deenergized Relay is energized on trip of the associated functions

 N.E. Normally Energized Relay is deenergized on trip of the associated functions
Programming of working mode is made as above selecting “OpMode” instead of “Link”.

13. Password

This password is requested anytime the user wants to write in the “Settings” menu a command of the
“Commands” menu.
The default password is “ 1111 “
When password is required, proceed as follows
The Display shows the message “ Password ???? “
- to select 1st digit (1-9) to validate
- to select 2nd digit (1-9) to validate
- to select 3rd digit (1-9) to validate
- to select 4th digit (1-9) to complete procedure.
The “ password “ is required any time you attempt to modify one of the programmable variables at the
first entrance in the “Settings” and/or “Commands” menus.
The “ password “remains valid for 2 minutes from the last operation of the programming buttons or until
the button is pressed to return to the default display (RT Meas).
Once the Password has been entered, a “ # “ appears before the variable that can be modified.

13.1 - MS-Com Password

This password is requested anytime the user wants to send to the relay a setting parameters
modification or to issue a command through the relay itself using the managing software MSCom.
The user can decide whether inserting his own password (see MS-Com Operational Manual) or
keeping the password disabled just clicking on the OK button when the password is requested.

14. Maintenance

No maintenance is required. In case of malfunctioning please contact Microelettrica Scientifica Service

or the local Authorised Dealer mentioning the relay's Serial No reported in the label on relays enclosure.

15. Power Frequency Insulation Test

Every relay individually undergoes a factory insulation test according to IEC255-5 standard at
2 kV, 50 Hz 1min. Insulation test should not be repeated as it unusefully stresses the dielectrics.
When doing the insulation test, the terminals relevant to serial output, digital inputs and RTD input must
always be short circuited to ground. When relays are mounted in switchboards or relay boards that have
to undergo the insulation tests, the relay should be isolated. This is extremely important as discharges
eventually tacking place in other parts or components of the board can severely damage the relays or
cause damages not immediately evident to the electronic components.
