APPLICATION
1. INTRODUCTION The type MIT161 numerical sensitive current protection relay combines the power and flexibility of microprocessor technology. The relay is especially tuned to suit applications where low settings, low burden and rejection of harmonic currents become a necessity. The relay is suitable for high resistance earth fault protection and capacitor bank unbalance current protection. 2. CHARACTERISTICS MIT161 relay has two stage protection i.e. earth fault element and lowset element. Earthfault element is provided with DTL characteristic and the lowset element is provided with DTL & IDMTL (Standard Inverse 3 sec, Standard Inverse 1.3 sec, Very Inverse Extremely Inverse and Long Time Inverse) characteristics. 3. RESET TIME DELAY The lowset element IDMTL characteristic is also provided with reset time delay characteristic for detecting Flashing faults. The increasing use of plastic cables, both, conventionally buried types and aerial bundled conductor types have given rise to the number of "pecking" or "flashing intermittent faults on distribution systems. At the fault position, the plastic melts and temporarily reseals the faulty cable for a short time, after which the insulation fails again. The same phenomenon has occurred in joint boxes where an internal flashover temporarily reseals. The behaviour of different types of over current relays under flashing fault condition is compared in Fig.1. The repeating process often caused electromechanical disc relays to "ratchet up and eventually trip the faulty circuit provided that the reset time of the relay was longer than the time between successive flashes. Early electronic IDMTL relays with instantaneous reset features were not at all effective in dealing with this condition and only tripped after the flashing fault had developed into a solid permanent fault. To overcome this the MIT161 relay has a reset time setting which can be user programmed to be either instantaneous or delayed from 1 to 60 seconds in step of 1 sec. On the other hand, on overhead line networks, particularly where reclosers are incorporated in the protected system, instantaneous resetting is desirable to ensure that, on multiple shot reclosing schemes, correct grading between the source relays and the relays associated with the reclosers is maintained.

INSTALLATION
1. UNPACKING On receipt, remove the relay from the carton box in which it was received and inspect it for obvious damage. It is recommended that the relay is not removed from the relay case. To prevent the possible ingress of dirt, the sealed polythene bag should not be opened until the relay is to be used. If damage has been sustained, please inform Easun Reyrolle Ltd., for necessary action. 2. STORAGE When the relay is not required for immediate use, it should be returned to its original carton and stored in a clean dry place. 3. HANDLING The relays electronic circuits are protected from damage by static discharge when the relay is housed in its case. When relay is withdrawn from the case, static handling procedures should be observed: Before removing the relay from its case the operator must first ensure that he is at the same potential as the relay, by touching the case. The relay must not be handled by any of the relay terminals at the rear of the chassis. Ensure that anyone else handling the relay is at the same potential.

As there are no user serviceable parts and adjustable user settings inside the relay, there should be no requirement to remove any modules from the chassis. If any modules are removed or tampered with, then the guarantee will be invalidated. 4. MOUNTING Mount the relay using 2 nos. mounting straps and 1no earth strap. Ensure that an earth wire is connected to the earth strap from the earth terminal 23. Terminal 23 should be directly connected to the system ground. Only settings or trip details can be accessed via the pushbuttons when the cover is fitted. To change the settings the front cover has to be removed. Sealing arrangement is provided in one of the four knurling screws fitted on the cover. Sealing can be done using a sealing wire. Thus mechanical interlock is provided to avoid unauthorized setting change.

5. EQUIPMENT 5.1 Current tap Selection MIT relays are suitable for 1A or 5A application. However the relays are internally wired for either 1A or 5A as per the customer requirement. Internal wiring are to be changed (Faston crimp connections) for changing the relay rating from one to other. To ensure the current rating (IR) of the relay, check the connection of CT wires connected to the bottom TB (Terminal Block) at the rear of the chassis as per the following table:

For 1A Terminal No. Ferrule No. of CT of TB wire(Black) 11 11A

For 5A Terminal No. Ferrule No. of CT of TB wire(Black) 11 11B

Following are the steps to change the current rating of the relay from 1A to 5A. 1. Identify 11th terminal from number strip on bottom terminal block at the rear of the chassis. 2. The black colour wire 11A is inserted to 11th terminal of TB. 3. First, carefully lift the PVC boot of the wire by means of a tool (like nose Plier) to expose terminal 11A. 4. Hold the crimp by means of the same tool at the crimp point and lift to remove from the fixed terminal. Remove the 11B wire from the terminal parking rack (fixed on terminal block) and insert the crimp of 11B wire on to the terminal No.11 by means of the tool. Insert "11A wire back to the terminal parking rack.

13

Ensure proper insertion of 11B wire by pulling the wire by hand and the wire Should not come off the terminal. 5. Push the boot of 11B wire to completely cover the crimp. Same procedure in reverse is to be followed to change from 5A to 1A . 5.2. Human Machine Interface (HMI) The user friendly HMI provided on the front panel has following features: Six digit, 7 segment LED display (First two digits are Red colour and other four digits are Green colour). First two digits (Red) displays the main menu or type of fault when selected for Setting mode or Trip indication respectively. Remaining four digits (Green) displays Sub menu or "Trip" indication respectively. 2. Green LED - Protection healthy indication 3. Yellow LED (STARTER) - Starter indication 4. Red LED (TRIP) - Trip indication, 5. Red LED (in Key) - Sub Menu 6. Key - Up scrolling 7. Key - Down scrolling 8. Key - Enter / Reset / Cancel / To check Version 5.3. How to operate HMI Remove the front cover by unscrewing the four knurling screws. Apply DC supply. Terminals 22,24 and 23 are for positive, negative and earth respectively as per relay rating. When the relay powers up it takes few seconds to complete the selfcheck routing. Ensure Protection Healthy LED (Green) is ON and LED display unit. Wait until the indication goes off.

500V insulation test sets. Variable secondary injection current source rated 10A or greater. Time interval meter Primary injection equipment A DC supply with a nominal voltage within the working range of the relays DC auxiliary supply ratings

2. INSPECTION Ensure that all connections are tight and in accordance with the relay wiring diagram and the scheme diagram. Check if the relay is correctly programmed and the relay is fully inserted into the case. 3. APPLYING SETTINGS The relay settings for the particular application should be applied before any secondary testing is started. 4. PRECAUTIONS Before testing commences, the equipment should be isolated from the current transformers and the CTs to be short-circuited, in line with the local site procedures. The tripping and alarm circuits should also be isolated, where practical. Also, ensure that trip links are removed. Ensure that correct DC auxiliary voltage and polarity is applied. See the relevant scheme diagrams for the relay connections. 5. TESTS 5.1. Insulation Connect together all relay CT terminals and measure the insulation resistance between these terminals and all the other relay terminals connected together to earth. Connect together the terminals of the DC auxiliary supply (only +ve and -ve) and measure the insulation resistance between these terminals and all other terminals connected together to earth.

18

Connect together all the output relay terminals and measure the insulation resistance between these terminals and all other terminals connected together to earth. A minimum value of 2. 5 to 3 meg ohms can be considered as satisfactory value. 5.2. Secondary injection Select the relay configuration and settings for the application. Note that the MIT relay can be connected either as 1A or 5A-rated device. The user should check this before commencing secondary test. Please refer Sec. 2.1. in installation 5.2.1. PICK UP AND RESET The test checks accuracy of the current settings for the relay earth fault characteristics. Apply single-phase current into the current inputs. Slowly increase the current until the starter LED (yellow) operates and record the pick up current in Table 1. Reduce the current until the LED goes off and record this as the reset level. Repeat this test for low set also. Check that all the pick up current levels are measured within 104% 4% of the applied setting. Check that the reset levels are 94% of the setting.
