HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
A persons normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of severalthousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices whenhandling circuits can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediatelyapparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced.
The electronic circuits of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control products are immune tothe relevant levels of electrostatic discharge when housed in their cases. Do notexpose them to the risk of damage by withdrawing modules unnecessarily.
Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductordevices. However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the followingprecautions should be taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for which theequipment has been designed and manufactured.
1. Before removing a module, ensure that you are a same electrostatic potentialas the equipment by touching the case.
2. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuitboard. Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit track orconnectors.
3. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are bothat the same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
4. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which isat the same potential as yourself.
5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.
More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can befound in BS5783 and IEC 60147-0F.
If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an equipmentin service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wriststrap.
Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k 10M ohms. If awrist strap is not available you should maintain regular contact with the case toprevent the build up of static. Instrumentation which may be used for makingmeasurements should be earthed to the case whenever possible.
ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control strongly recommends that detailed investigationson the electronic circuitry, or modification work, should be carried out in a SpecialHandling Area such as described in BS5783 or IEC 60147-0F.

1. SAFETY SECTION
This Safety Section should be read before commencing any work on theequipment.
1.1 Health and Safety
The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended toensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them ina safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with theequipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section.
1.2 Explanation of symbols and labels
The meaning of symbols and labels may be used on the equipment or in the productdocumentation, is given below.
Caution : refer to product documentation Caution : risk of electric shock
Protective/safety *earth terminal Functional *earth terminal
Note: This symbol may also beused for a protective/safety earthterminal if that terminal is part of aterminal block or sub-assemblye.g. power supply.
*NOTE: THE TERM EARTH USED THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION IS THEDIRECT EQUIVALENT OF THE NORTH AMERICAN TERM GROUND.
2. INSTALLING, COMMISSIONING AND SERVICING
Equipment connections
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on thisequipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. Theproduct documentation should be consulted before installing, commissioning orservicing the equipment.
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may presenta hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by allpersonnel to avoid electrical shock or energy hazards.
-
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminationsto ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. Toensure that wires are correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal and tool for thewire size should be used.
Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earthterminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plugconnected equipment. Omitting or disconnecting the equipment earth may cause asafety hazard.
The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5mm2, unless otherwise stated in thetechnical data section of the product documentation.
Before energising the equipment, the following should be checked:
Voltage rating and polarity;
CT circuit rating and integrity of connections;
Protective fuse rating;
Integrity of earth connection (where applicable)
3. EQUIPMENT OPERATING CONDITIONS
The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmentallimits.
3.1 Current transformer circuits
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high level voltage producedmay be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation.
3.2 External resistors
Where external resistors are fitted to relays, these may present a risk of electric shockor burns, if touched.
3.3 Battery Replacement
Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommendedtype and be installed with the correct polarity, to avoid possible damage to theequipment.
3.4 Insulation and dielectric strength testing
Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At theend of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, todischarge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.
3.5 Insertion of modules and pcb cards
These must not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment whilst it is energisedsince this may result in damage.
3.6 Fibre optic communication
Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be vieweddirectly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signallevel of the device.
-
4. OLDER PRODUCTS
Electrical adjustments
Equipments which require direct physical adjustments to their operating mechanismto change current or voltage settings, should have the electrical power removedbefore making the change, to avoid any risk of electrical shock.
Mechanical adjustments
The electrical power to the relay contacts should be removed before checking anymechanical settings, to avoid any risk of electric shock.
Draw out case relays
Removal of the cover on equipment incorporating electromechanical operatingelements, may expose hazardous live parts such as relay contacts.
Insertion and withdrawal of extender cards
When using an extender card, this should not be inserted or withdrawn from theequipment whilst it is energised. This is to avoid possible shock or damage hazards.Hazardous live voltages may be accessible on the extender card.
Insertion and withdrawal of heavy current test plugs
When using a heavy current test plug, CT shorting links must be in place beforeinsertion or removal, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
5. DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL
Decommissioning: The auxiliary supply circuit in the relay may include capacitorsacross the supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energyhazards, after completely isolating the supplies to the relay (bothpoles of any dc supply), the capacitors should be safelydischarged via the external terminals prior to decommissioning.
Disposal: It is recommended that incineration and disposal to watercourses is avoided. The product should be disposed of in a safemanner. Any products containing batteries should have themremoved before disposal, taking precautions to avoid shortcircuits. Particular regulations within the country of operation,may apply to the disposal of lithium batteries.

3. USER INTERFACES AND MENU STRUCTURE
The settings and functions of the MiCOM protection relay can be accessed both fromthe front panel keypad and LCD, and via the front and rear communication ports.Information on each of these methods is given in this section to describe how to getstarted using the relay.
3.1 Introduction to the relay
3.1.1 Front panel
The front panel of the relay is shown in Figure 1, with the hinged covers at the topand bottom of the relay shown open. Extra physical protection for the front panel canbe provided by an optional transparent front cover. With the cover in place read onlyaccess to the user interface is possible. Removal of the cover does not compromisethe environmental withstand capability of the product, but allows access to the relaysettings. When full access to the relay keypad is required, for editing the settings, thetransparent cover can be unclipped and removed when the top and bottom coversare 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 therelay front panel until it is clear of the seal tab. The cover can then be movedvertically down to release the two fixing lugs from their recesses in the front panel.

Technical Guide P14x/EN T01/A22Introduction CHAPTER 1MiCOM P141, P142, 143 Page 7/22
Note: *May vary according to relay type/model
The fixed function LEDs on the left hand side of the front panel are used to indicatethe following conditions:
Trip (Red) indicates that the relay has issued a trip signal. It is reset when theassociated fault record is cleared from the front display. (Alternatively the trip LEDcan be configured to be self-resetting)*. The trip LED is initiated from relay 3, theprotection trip contact.
Alarm (Yellow) flashes to indicate that the relay has registered an alarm. This may betriggered by a fault, event or maintenance record. The LED will flash until the alarmshave been accepted (read), after which the LED will change to constant illumination,and will extinguish when the alarms have been cleared.
Out of service (Yellow) indicates that the relays protection is unavailable.
Healthy (Green) indicates that the relay is in correct working order, and should be onat all times. It will be extinguished if the relays self-test facilities indicate that there isan error with the relays hardware or software. The state of the healthy LED isreflected by the watchdog contact at the back of the relay.
3.1.2 Relay rear panel
The rear panel of the relay is shown in Figure 2. All current and voltage signals*,digital logic input signals and output contacts are connected at the rear of the relay.Also connected at the rear is the twisted pair wiring for the rear EIA(RS)485communication port, the IRIG-B time synchronising input and the optical fibre rearcommunication port which are both optional.

3.2 Introduction to the user interfaces and settings options
The relay has three user interfaces:
the front panel user interface via the LCD and keypad.
the front port which supports Courier communication.
the rear port which supports one protocol of either Courier, Modbus,IEC 60870-5-103 or DNP3.0. The protocol for the rear port must be specifiedwhen the relay is ordered.
The measurement information and relay settings which can be accessed from thethree interfaces are summarised in Table 1.

3.3 Menu structure
The relays menu is arranged in a tabular structure. Each setting in the menu isreferred to as a cell, and each cell in the menu may be accessed by reference to arow and column address. The settings are arranged so that each column containsrelated settings, for example all of the disturbance recorder settings are containedwithin the same column. As shown in Figure 3, the top row of each column containsthe heading which describes the settings contained within that column. Movementbetween the columns of the menu can only be made at the column heading level. Acomplete list of all of the menu settings is given in Appendix A of the manual.

Figure 3: Menu structure
All of the settings in the menu fall into one of three categories: protection settings,disturbance recorder settings, or control and support (C&S) settings. One of twodifferent methods is used to change a setting depending on which category thesetting falls into. Control and support settings are stored and used by the relayimmediately after they are entered. For either protection settings or disturbancerecorder settings, the relay stores the new setting values in a temporary scratchpad.It activates all the new settings together, but only after it has been confirmed that thenew settings are to be adopted. This technique is employed to provide extra security,and so that several setting changes that are made within a group of protectionsettings will all take effect at the same time.
3.3.1 Protection settings
The protection settings include the following items:
protection element settings
scheme logic settings
auto-reclose and check synchronisation settings (where appropriate)*
fault locator settings (where appropriate)*
There are four groups of protection settings, with each group containing the samesetting cells. One group of protection settings is selected as the active group, and isused by the protection elements.
3.3.2 Disturbance recorder settings
The disturbance recorder settings include the record duration and trigger position,selection of analogue and digital signals to record, and the signal sources that triggerthe recording.

Note: *May vary according to relay type/model
3.3.3 Control and support settings
The control and support settings include:
relay configuration settings
open/close circuit breaker*
CT & VT ratio settings*
reset LEDs
active protection setting group
password & language settings
circuit breaker control & monitoring settings*
communications settings
measurement settings
event & fault record settings
user interface settings
commissioning settings
3.4 Password protection
The menu structure contains three levels of access. The level of access that is enableddetermines which of the relays settings can be changed and iscontrolled by entry of two different passwords. The levels of access are summarisedin Table 2.
Access level Operations enabled
Level 0No password required
Read access to all settings, alarms, event recordsand fault records.
Level 1Password 1 or 2 required
As level 0 plus:Control commands, e.g.circuit breaker open/close.Reset of fault and alarm conditions.Reset LEDs.Clearing of event and fault records.
Level 2Password 2 required
As level 1 plus:All other settings
Table 2:
Each of the two passwords are 4 characters of upper case text. The factory defaultfor both passwords is AAAA. Each password is user-changeable once it has beencorrectly entered. Entry of the password is achieved either by a prompt when asetting change is attempted, or by moving to the Password cell in the System datacolumn of the menu. The level of access is independently enabled for each interface,that is to say if level 2 access is enabled for the rear communication port, the frontpanel access will remain at level 0 unless the relevant password is entered at the frontpanel. The access level enabled by the password entry will time-out independentlyfor each interface after a period of inactivity and revert to the default level. If thepasswords are lost an emergency password can be supplied - contact ALSTOM with

the relays serial number. The current level of access enabled for an interface can bedetermined by examining the 'Access level' cell in the 'System data' column, the accesslevel for the front panel User Interface (UI), can also be found as one of the defaultdisplay options.
The relay is supplied with a default access level of 2, such that no password isrequired to change any of the relay settings. It is also possible to set the defaultmenu access level to either level 0 or level 1, preventing write access to the relaysettings without the correct password. The default menu access level is set in thePassword control cell which is found in the System data column of the menu (notethat this setting can only be changed when level 2 access is enabled).
3.5 Relay configuration
The relay is a multi-function device which supports numerous different protection,control and communication features. In order to simplify the setting of the relay,there is a configuration settings column which can be used to enable or disable manyof the functions of the relay. The settings associated with any function that is disabledare made invisible, i.e. they are not shown in the menu. To disable a functionchange the relevant cell in the Configuration column from Enabled to Disabled.
The configuration column controls which of the four protection settings groups isselected as active through the Active settings cell. A protection setting group canalso be disabled in the configuration column, provided it is not the present activegroup. Similarly, a disabled setting group cannot be set as the active group.
The column also allows all of the setting values in one group of protection settings tobe copied to another group.
To do this firstly set the Copy from cell to the protection setting group to be copied,then set the Copy to cell to the protection group where the copy is to be placed. Thecopied settings are initially placed in the temporary scratchpad, and will only be usedby the relay following confirmation.
To restore the default values to the settings in any protection settings group, set theRestore defaults cell to the relevant group number. Alternatively it is possible to setthe Restore defaults cell to All settings to restore the default values to all of therelays settings, not just the protection groups settings. The default settings willinitially be placed in the scratchpad and will only be used by the relay after they havebeen confirmed. Note that restoring defaults to all settings includes the rearcommunication port settings, which may result in communication via the rear portbeing disrupted if the new (default) settings do not match those of the master station.
3.6 Front panel user interface (keypad and LCD)
When the keypad is exposed it provides full access to the menu options of the relay,with the information displayed on the LCD.
The , , and keys which are used for menu navigation and setting valuechanges include an auto-repeat function that comes into operation if any of thesekeys are held continually pressed. This can be used to speed up both setting valuechanges and menu navigation; the longer the key is held depressed, the faster therate of change or movement becomes.

Figure 4: Front panel user interface
3.6.1 Default display and menu time-out
The front panel menu has a selectable default display. The relay will time-out andreturn to the default display and turn the LCD backlight off after 15 minutes ofkeypad inactivity. If this happens any setting changes which have not been confirmedwill be lost and the original setting values maintained.
The contents of the default display can be selected from the following options:3-phase and neutral current, 3-phase voltage, power, system frequency, date andtime, relay description, or a user-defined plant reference*. The default display isselected with the Default display cell of the Measuret setup column. Also, from thedefault display the different default display options can be scrolled through using the and keys. However the menu selected default display will be restored followingthe menu time-out elapsing. Whenever there is an uncleared alarm present in therelay (e.g. fault record, protection alarm, control alarm etc.) the default display willbe replaced by:
Alarms/FaultsPresent
Entry to the menu structure of the relay is made from the default display and is notaffected if the display is showing the Alarms/Faults present message.

3.6.2 Menu navigation and setting browsing
The menu can be browsed using the four arrow keys, following the structure shown inFigure 4. Thus, starting at the default display the key will display the first columnheading. To select the required column heading use the and keys. The settingdata contained in the column can then be viewed by using the and keys. It is possible to return to the column header either by holding the keydown or by a single press of the clear key C. It is only possible to move acrosscolumns at the column heading level. To return to the default display press the keyor the clear key C from any of the column headings. It is not possible to go straightto the default display from within one of the column cells using the auto-repeat facilityof the key, as the auto-repeat will stop at the column heading. To move to thedefault display, the key must be released and pressed again.
3.6.3 Password entry
When entry of a password is required the following prompt will appear:
Enter password **** Level 1
Note: The password required to edit the setting is the prompt as shownabove
A flashing cursor will indicate which character field of the password may be changed.Press the and keys to vary each character between A and Z. To move betweenthe character fields of the password, use the and keys. The password isconfirmed by pressing the enter key . The display will revert to Enter Password ifan incorrect password is entered. At this point a message will be displayed indicatingwhether a correct password has been entered and if so what level of access has beenunlocked. If this level is sufficient to edit the selected setting then the display willreturn to the setting page to allow the edit to continue. If the correct level ofpassword has not been entered then the password prompt page will be returned to.To escape from this prompt press the clear key C. Alternatively, the password can beentered using the Password cell of the System data column.
For the front panel user interface the password protected access will revert to thedefault access level after a keypad inactivity time-out of 15 minutes. It is possible tomanually reset the password protection to the default level by moving to thePassword menu cell in the System data column and pressing the clear key Cinstead of entering a password.
3.6.4 Reading and clearing of alarm messages and fault records
The presence of one or more alarm messages will be indicated by the default displayand by the yellow alarm LED flashing. The alarm messages can either be self-resetting or latched, in which case they must be cleared manually. To view the alarmmessages press the read key . When all alarms have been viewed, but notcleared, the alarm LED will change from flashing to constant illumination and thelatest fault record will be displayed (if there is one). To scroll through the pages ofthis use the key. When all pages of the fault record have been viewed, thefollowing prompt will appear:

To clear all alarm messages press C; to return to the alarms/faults present displayand leave the alarms uncleared, press . Depending on the passwordconfiguration settings, it may be necessary to enter a password before the alarmmessages can be cleared (see section on password entry). When the alarms havebeen cleared the yellow alarm LED will extinguish, as will the red trip LED if it wasilluminated following a trip.
Alternatively it is possible to accelerate the procedure, once the alarm viewer hasbeen entered using the key, the C key can be pressed, this will move the displaystraight to the fault record. Pressing C again will move straight to the alarm resetprompt where pressing C once more will clear all alarms.
3.6.5 Setting changes
To change the value of a setting, first navigate the menu to display the relevant cell.To change the cell value press the enter key , which will bring up a flashing cursoron the LCD to indicate that the value can be changed. This will only happen if theappropriate password has been entered, otherwise the prompt to enter a passwordwill appear. The setting value can then be changed by pressing the or keys. Ifthe setting to be changed is a binary value or a text string, the required bit orcharacter to be changed must first be selected using the and keys. When thedesired new value has been reached it is confirmed as the new setting value bypressing . Alternatively, the new value will be discarded either if the clear button Cis pressed or if the menu time-out occurs.
For protection group settings and disturbance recorder settings, the changes must beconfirmed before they are used by the relay. To do this, when all required changeshave been entered, return to the column heading level and press the key. Prior toreturning to the default display the following prompt will be given:
Update settings?Enter or clear
Pressing will result in the new settings being adopted, pressing C will cause therelay to discard the newly entered values. It should be noted that, the setting valueswill also be discarded if the menu time out occurs before the setting changes havebeen confirmed. Control and support settings will be updated immediately after theyare entered, without Update settings? prompt.
3.7 Front communication port user interface
The front communication port is provided by a 9-pin female D-type connector locatedunder the bottom hinged cover. It provides EIA(RS)232 serial data communicationand is intended for use with a PC locally to the relay (up to 15m distance) as shownin Figure 5. This port supports the Courier communication protocol only. Courier isthe communication language developed by ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control toallow communication with its range of protection relays. The front port is particularlydesigned for use with the relay settings program MiCOM S1 which is a Windows NTbased software package.

Figure 5: Front port connection
The relay is a Data Communication Equipment (DCE) device. Thus the pinconnections of the relays 9-pin front port are as follows:
Pin no. 2 Tx Transmit data
Pin no. 3 Rx Receive data
Pin no. 5 0V Zero volts common
None of the other pins are connected in the relay. The relay should be connected tothe serial port of a PC, usually called COM1 or COM2. PCs are normally DataTerminal Equipment (DTE) devices which have a serial port pin connection as below(if in doubt check your PC manual):
25 Way 9 Way
Pin no. 3 2 Rx Receive data
Pin no. 2 3 Tx Transmit data
Pin no. 7 5 0V Zero volts common
For successful data communication, the Tx pin on the relay must be connected to theRx pin on the PC, and the Rx pin on the relay must be connected to the Tx pin on thePC, as shown in Figure 6. Therefore, providing that the PC is a DTE with pinconnections as given above, a straight through serial connector is required, i.e. onethat connects pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5. Note that a commoncause of difficulty with serial data communication is connecting Tx to Tx and Rx to Rx.This could happen if a cross-over serial connector is used, i.e. one that connects pin2 to pin 3, and pin 3 to pin 2, or if the PC has the same pin configuration as therelay.

Figure 6: PC relay signal connection
Having made the physical connection from the relay to the PC, the PCscommunication settings must be configured to match those of the relay. The relayscommunication settings for the front port are fixed as shown in the table below:
Protocol Courier
Baud rate 19,200 bits/s
Courier address 1
Message format 11 bit - 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit (even parity),1 stop bit
The inactivity timer for the front port is set at 15 minutes. This controls how long therelay will maintain its level of password access on the front port. If no messages arereceived on the front port for 15 minutes then any password access level that hasbeen enabled will be revoked.
3.8 Rear communication port user interface
The rear port can support one of four communication protocols (Courier, Modbus,DNP3.0, IEC 60870-5-103), the choice of which must be made when the relay isordered. The rear communication port is provided by a 3-terminal screw connectorlocated on the back of the relay. See Appendix B for details of the connectionterminals. The rear port provides K-Bus/EIA(RS)485 serial data communication and isintended for use with a permanently-wired connection to a remote control centre. Ofthe three connections, two are for the signal connection, and the other is for the earthshield of the cable. When the K-Bus option is selected for the rear port, thetwo signal connections are not polarity conscious, however for Modbus, IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3.0 care must be taken to observe the correct polarity.
The protocol provided by the relay is indicated in the relay menu in theCommunications column. Using the keypad and LCD, firstly check that the Commssettings cell in the Configuration column is set to Visible, then move to theCommunications column. The first cell down the column shows the communicationprotocol being used by the rear port.
3.8.1 Courier communication
Courier is the communication language developed by ALSTOM T&D Protection &Control to allow remote interrogation of its range of protection relays. Courier workson a master/slave basis where the slave units contain information in the form of adatabase, and respond with information from the database when it is requested by amaster unit.

Technical Guide P14x/EN T01/A22Introduction CHAPTER 1MiCOM P141, P142, 143 Page 17/22
Note: *May vary according to relay type/model
The relay is a slave unit which is designed to be used with a Courier master unit suchas MiCOM S1, MiCOM S10, PAS&T or a SCADA system. MiCOM S1 is a WindowsNT4.0/95/98/ME/XP compatible software package which is specifically designed forsetting changes with the relay.
To use the rear port to communicate with a PC-based master station using Courier, aKITZ K-Bus to EIA(RS)232 protocol converter is required. This unit is available fromALSTOM T&D Protection & Control. A typical connection arrangement is shown inFigure 7. For more detailed information on other possible connection arrangementsrefer to the manual for the Courier master station software and the manual for theKITZ protocol converter. Each spur of the K-Bus twisted pair wiring can be up to1000m in length and have up to 32 relays connected to it.

Note: *May vary according to relay type/model
Move down the Communications column from the column heading to the first celldown which indicates the communication protocol:
ProtocolCourier
The next cell down the column controls the address of the relay:
Remote address 1
Since up to 32 relays can be connected to one K-bus spur, as indicated in Figure 7, itis necessary for each relay to have a unique address so that messages from themaster control station are accepted by one relay only. Courier uses an integernumber between 0 and 254 for the relay address which is set with this cell. It isimportant that no two relays have the same Courier address. The Courier address isthen used by the master station to communicate with the relay.
The next cell down controls the inactivity timer:
Inactivity time10.00 mins
The inactivity timer controls how long the relay will wait without receiving anymessages on the rear port before it reverts to its default state, including revoking anypassword access that was enabled. For the rear port this can be set between 1 and30 minutes.
Note that protection and disturbance recorder settings that are modified using an on-line editor such as PAS&T must be confirmed with a write to the Save changes cell ofthe Configuration column. Off-line editors such as MiCOM S1 do not require thisaction for the setting changes to take effect.
3.8.2 Modbus communication
Modbus is a master/slave communication protocol which can be used for networkcontrol. In a similar fashion to Courier, the system works by the master deviceinitiating all actions and the slave devices, (the relays), responding to the master bysupplying the requested data or by taking the requested action. Modbuscommunication is achieved via a twisted pair connection to the rear port and can beused over a distance of 1000m with up to 32 slave devices.
To use the rear port with Modbus communication, the relays communication settingsmust be configured. To do this use the keypad and LCD user interface. In the relaymenu firstly check that the Comms settings cell in the Configuration column is setto Visible, then move to the Communications column. Four settings apply to therear port using Modbus which are described below. Move down theCommunications column from the column heading to the first cell down whichindicates the communication protocol:

Modbus address23
Up to 32 relays can be connected to one Modbus spur, and therefore it is necessaryfor each relay to have a unique address so that messages from the master controlstation are accepted by one relay only. Modbus uses an integer number between 1and 247 for the relay address. It is important that no two relays have the sameModbus address. The Modbus address is then used by the master station tocommunicate with the relay.
The next cell down controls the inactivity timer:
Inactivity timer10.00 mins
The inactivity timer controls how long the relay will wait without receiving anymessages on the rear port before it reverts to its default state, including revoking anypassword access that was enabled. For the rear port this can be set between 1 and30 minutes.
The next cell down the column controls the baud rate to be used:
Baud rate9600 bits/s
Modbus communication is asynchronous. Three baud rates are supported by therelay, 9600 bits/s, 19200 bits/s and 38400 bits/s. It is important that whateverbaud rate is selected on the relay is the same as that set on the Modbus masterstation.
The next cell down controls the parity format used in the data frames:
ParityNone
The parity can be set to be one of None, Odd or Even. It is important thatwhatever parity format is selected on the relay is the same as that set on the Modbusmaster station.
3.8.3 IEC 60870-5 CS 103 communication
The IEC specification IEC 60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5:Transmission Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standardsIEC 60870-5-1 to IEC 60870-5-5 to perform communication with protectionequipment. The standard configuration for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is to use atwisted pair connection over distances up to 1000m. As an option for IEC 60870-5-103, the rear port can be specified to use a fibre optic connection for directconnection to a master station. The relay operates as a slave in the system,responding to commands from a master station. The method of communication usesstandardised messages which are based on the VDEW communication protocol.

The DNP 3.0 protocol is defined and administered by the DNP User Group.Information about the user group, DNP 3.0 in general and protocol specificationscan be found on their website: www.dnp.org
The relay operates as a DNP 3.0 slave and supports subset level 2 of the protocolplus some of the features from level 3. DNP 3.0 communication is achieved via atwisted pair connection to the rear port and can be used over a distance of 1000mwith up to 32 slave devices.
To use the rear port with DNP 3.0 communication, the relays communication settingsmust be configured. To do this use the keypad and LCD user interface. In the relaymenu firstly check that the Comms setting cell in the Configuration column is set toVisible, then move to the Communications column. Four settings apply to the rearport using DNP 3.0, which are described below. Move down the Communicationscolumn from the column heading to the first cell which indicates the communicationsprotocol:

Upto 32 relays can be connected to one DNP 3.0 spur, and therefore it is necessaryfor each relay to have a unique address so that messages from the master controlstation are accepted by only one relay. DNP 3.0 uses a decimal number between 1and 65519 for the relay address. It is important that no two relays have the sameDNP 3.0 address. The DNP 3.0 address is then used by the master station tocommunicate with the relay.
The next cell down the column controls the baud rate to be used:

P141 Feeder Management Relay
P142 with autoreclose
P143 with autoreclose and checksynchronising
ApplicationThe MiCOM P14x series is suitablefor all applications whereovercurrent protection is required.The integration of many functionsprovides complete protection for awide range of overhead lines andunderground cables, fromdistribution to transmission voltagelevels. It is suitable for solidearthed, impedance earthed,Petersen coil earthed and isolatedsystems.
A comprehensive suite ofovercurrent protection provides aneconomic solution to complexprotection applications. Figure 2ashows a parallel transformerapplication where the MiCOMP141 replaces many of the discreteprotection elements normallyassociated with the LV side of thetransformer. The protection includesnon-directional and directionalphase overcurrent and earth faultindependently configurable to beeither inverse definite minimum time(IDMT) or definite time. Restrictedearth fault and circuit breakerfailure protection are also included.
Figure 2b shows a MiCOM P143protecting a plain feeder usingphase overcurrent, sensitive earthfault, negative sequenceovercurrent, thermal protection andbreaker failure protection. The integral autorecloser with checksynchronising may be configured tograde with downstream reclosers.A range of communicationprotocols allows connection withmany external devices thusproviding remote programming,control and extraction ofinformation.
Protection functionsThree phase tripping with faultedphase indication is provided for allprotection functions.
Phase overcurrentFour independent stages areavailable for each phaseovercurrent element. Each stagemay be selected as non-directionalor directional (forward/reverse). All stages have definite timedelayed characteristics, two of thestages may also be independentlyset to one of ten IDMT curves (IEC and IEEE). The IDMT stageshave a programmable reset timerfor grading with electromechanical
relays, to reduce autoreclose deadtimes and to reduce clearance timeswhere intermittent faults occur.
The phase fault directional elementsare internally polarised byquadrature phase-phase voltages,and will make a correct directionaldecision down to:
0.5V (Vn = 100 120V) or 2.0V (Vn = 380 480V).
A synchronous polarising signal ismaintained for 3.2s after voltagecollapse to ensure that theinstantaneous and time delayedovercurrent elements operatecorrectly for close-up three phasefaults.

4Standard earth faultThere are two standard earth faultelements, each with fourindependent stages.
The first element operates frommeasured quantities:
earth fault current which is directly measured using a separate CT
residual connection of the three line CTs
The second standard earth faultelement operates from a residualcurrent that is derived internallyfrom the summation of the threephase currents.
All earth fault elements have thesame directionality and IDMTcharacteristics as the phaseovercurrent element.
Both earth fault elements may beenabled at the same time providingdiscriminative directional earth faultprotection and back-up standbyearth fault protection in the samedevice. The directionality of theearth fault elements is provided byeither residual voltage or negativesequence voltage.
Sensitive earth faultA core balance CT should be usedto drive the sensitive earth faultfunction. The directionality of thesensitive earth fault elements isprovided by the residual voltage.
Wattmetric As an alternative to the directionalwattmetric characteristic adirectional I cos () characteristiccan be used for Petersen coil earthfault protection using the sensitiveearth fault input. This protectionprovides discrimination as faultedfeeders will have a largecomponent of residual current whilsthealthy feeders will have a smallvalue. A directional I sin () characteristicis also available for protection ofinsulated feeders.
Neutral admittance protectionNeutral admittance protection isprovided for the Polish market forearth fault protection. Three singlestage elements are provided for non-directional overadmittance, non-directional/directionaloverconductance and non-directional/directionaloversusceptance.
Restricted earth faultThe restricted earth fault protectionmay be configured as either highimpedance or low impedancebiased differential.
Blocked overcurrent logicEach stage of overcurrent and earthfault protection can be blocked byan optically isolated input. This enables overcurrent and earthfault protection to integrate into ablocked overcurrent busbarprotection scheme.
Selective overcurrent logic Selective overcurrent logic assistswith relay co-ordination by allowingthe time delay settings of theovercurrent elements to betemporarily modified byenergisation of an optically isolatedinput. This is available usingprogrammable scheme logic.
Cold load pick-up logicCold load pick-up temporarily raisesthe overcurrent settings followingclosure of the circuit breaker,allowing the protection settings tobe set closer to the load profile.
Voltage controlledovercurrentVoltage controlled overcurrentprovides back-up protection forremote phase faults whilstremaining insensitive to loadconditions.
Negative sequenceovercurrentNegative sequence overcurrentprotection can be set as either non-directional or directional(forward/reverse), and can operatefor remote phase-phase and phase-earth faults even with delta-startransformers present.
RMS thermal overloadThermal characteristics suitable forcables and transformers areavailable providing both alarm andtrip stages. The thermal element maybe set with either a single timeconstant characteristic for theprotection of cables or drytransformers, or a dual time constantcharacteristic to protect oil filledtransformers. In the event of loss ofauxiliary supply, the thermal state isstored in non-volatile memory.
Under/overvoltageUnder/overvoltage protection maybe configured to operate fromeither phase-phase or phase-neutralquantities. Two independent stageswith definite time elements areavailable, one of the stages canalso be configured to an inversecharacteristic.
Neutraldisplacement/residualovervoltageResidual overvoltage protection isavailable for detecting earth faultsin high impedance earthed orisolated systems. The neutral voltageis derived from the three phasevoltage inputs. Two independentmeasuring elements with definitetime characteristics are available,one of the elements can also beconfigured to have an inversecharacteristic.
Negative sequenceovervoltageNegative sequence overvoltageprotection provides either a trippingor an interlocking function, upondetection of unbalanced supplyvoltages
-
5Under/overfrequency
Two independent stages ofoverfrequency and four ofunderfrequency are provided. Each stage functions as a definitetime element.
Broken conductorThe broken conductor protectiondetects unbalanced conditionscaused by broken conductors, mal-operation of single phase switchgearor by single phasing conditions.
Supervisory functions
Circuit breaker failureprotectionTwo stage circuit breaker failureprotection may be used for trippingupstream circuit breakers andretripping of the local circuitbreaker if required. The circuitbreaker failure logic may also beinitiated externally from otherprotection devices if required.
Voltage transformer supervisionVoltage transformer supervision isprovided to detect loss of one, twoor three VT signals, providingindication and inhibition of voltagedependent protection elements. An optically isolated input may alsobe configured to initiate the voltagetransformer supervision alarm andblocking when used with MCBs orother external forms of voltagetransformer supervision.
Current transformersupervisionCurrent transformer supervision isprovided to detect loss of phase CTsignals and inhibit the operation ofcurrent dependent protectionelements.
Control
Circuit breaker controlCircuit breaker control is availablefrom the front panel user interface,optically isolated inputs andremotely via the substationcommunications.
Autoreclose with checksynchronisingThe P142 provides three pole multi-shot autoreclose. The user mayselect a single, two, three or fourshot autoreclose cycle, withindependently settable dead timesand reclaim time. Autoreclose canbe initiated from the internalprotection elements or from externalprotection via an opto input.
More advanced features of theP143 include check synchronising,live line working and sequence co-ordination (co-ordination withdownstream reclosing equipment).
Programmable scheme logicProgrammable scheme logic allowsthe user to customise the protectionand control functions. It is also usedto programme the functionality ofthe optically isolated inputs, relayoutputs and LED indications.
The programmable scheme logiccomprises gate logic and generalpurpose timers. The gate logicincludes OR, AND and majoritygate functions, with the ability toinvert the inputs and outputs, andprovide feedback. The system isoptimised to evaluate changes to
the scheme logic signals and thusavoid unnecessary signalprocessing.
The programmable scheme logic isconfigured using the graphicalMiCOM S1 PC based supportsoftware, as illustrated in Figure 3.
The required logic is drawn asshown and is then downloadeddirectly into the relay. The logicmay also be uploaded from therelay and then modified usingMiCOM S1 support software.
Independent protectionsettings groupsThe settings are divided into twocategories; protection settings, andcontrol and support settings. Foursetting groups are provided for theprotection settings to allow fordifferent operating conditions andadaptive relaying. All settings arestored in E2PROM.
Control inputsThe control inputs allow the user tomanualy change the status of DDBsignals 800 to 831. These signalscan be assigned to provide userdefined control functions.

6Measurement andrecording facilitiesThe P14x series is capable ofmeasuring and storing the values ofa wide range of quantities. All events, fault and disturbancerecords are time tagged to aresolution of 1ms using an internalreal time clock. An optional IRIG-Bport is also provided for accuratetime synchronisation.
A lithium battery provides a back-up for the real time clock and allrecords in the event of supplyfailure. This battery is supervisedand easily replaced from the frontof the relay.
MeasurementsThe measurements provided, whichmay be viewed in primary orsecondary values, can be accessedby the back-lit liquid crystal display,or the communications ports. Phasenotation is user definable using theMiCOM S1 text editor.

7Local and remotecommunications
Two communication ports areavailable; a rear port providingremote communications and a frontport providing localcommunications.
Remote communicationsThe remote communications arebased on RS485 voltage levels. Any of the protocols listed belowcan be chosen at the time ofordering.
Courier/K-BusThe Courier language is a protocolwhich has been developedspecifically for the purpose ofdeveloping generic PC programmesthat will, without modification,communicate with any device usingthe Courier language.
ModbusModbus is a master/slave protocol,whereby the master must haveknowledge of the slaves databasesand addresses. The Modbusimplementation supported by theMiCOM P14x series is RTU mode.
IEC 60870-5-103 The relay is compliant with thetransmission protocol defined by thespecification IEC 60870-5-103. The standarised messages based onthe VDEW communication protocolare supported.
DNP 3.0The DNP 3.0 protocol is definedand administered by the DNP UserGroup. The relay operates as aDNP 3.0 slave and supports subsetlevel 2 of the protocol plus some ofthe features from level 3.
Local communicationsThe front serial communications porthas been designed for use withMiCOM S1, which fully supportsfunctions within the relay byproviding the ability to programmethe settings off-line, configure theprogrammable scheme logic,extract and view event, disturbanceand fault records, view themeasurement informationdynamically and perform controlfunctions. PAS&T support softwarecan also be used with the localcommunications port.
Diagnostics
Automatic tests performed includingpower-on diagnostics andcontinuous self-monitoring ensure ahigh degree of reliability. The resultsof the self-test functions are stored inbattery backed memory. Test features available on the userinterface provide examination ofinput quantities, states of the digitalinputs and relay outputs. A localmonitor port providing digitaloutputs, selected from a prescribedlist of signals, including the status ofprotection elements, may be used inconjunction with test equipment.These test signals can also beviewed using the Courier andModbus communications ports andthe front panel user interface.
