Earth fault directional
overcurrent
(P125 - P126 - P127)
This protection operates from earth
fault current directly measured using
a separate CT.
The sensitivity can be selected by
ordering code.
The polarising voltage can be
measured by vector sum of the
phase-neutral voltages or by direct
input from a dedicated VT or from
an open delta VT.
Three independent stages are
available for directional/non-
directional earth fault protection.
All stages have definite time delayed
characteristics, the first stage may
also be independently set to one of
available ANSI/IEEE, IEC, RI and
Rectifier IDMT curves.
The IDMT stage has reset with
definite or IDMT timer. The DT stages
have definite reset timer.
Each earth directional stage
measures the residual overvoltage
element, the earth fault current
element and the angle between
residual voltage and earth fault
current. Following is shown the
tripping zone.
Each one, when set as earth non-
directional stage, operates a
standard overcurrent element.

(P125 - P126 - P127)
The earth fault protection is also
suitable for Petersen Coil earthed
systems using wattmetric protection.
Two stages are available the first has
inverse time the second has definite
delayed characteristic. An Ie cos ϕ
mode is available in alternative to Pe
wattmetric mode.
The Pe threshold setting value is
automatically corrected by selecting
the rated Ie current.
Undercurrent (P126 - P127)
MiCOM P126 and P127 relays
provide undercurrent function.
This function allows typical
applications such as lost of load
detection.
Broken conductor
(P126 - P127)
The broken conductor protection
detects unbalanced conditions
caused by broken conductors, mal-
operation of single-phase switchgear
or by single phasing conditions.

Negative phase sequence
overcurrent (P126 - P127)
Negative phase sequence
overcurrent is also designed for
broken conductor detection when
earth fault protection is not enabled
or not sensitive enough (eg. broken
conductor on load side).
Instantaneous and time (definite or
IDMT) negative sequence overcurrent
setting stages is identical to the
phase and earth overcurrent stages.
Thermal overload (P126 - P127)
Thermal overload protection is
suitable to protect transformer and
cables for their particular thermal
characteristic.
MiCOM P126 and P127 relays
include thermal overload based on
thermal replica.
Alarm and overload stages are fully
programmable to match each device
requirement.
Undervoltage (P127)
Two independent stages with definite
time elements are available. Each
stage can be configured in AND or
OR logic mode.
Overvoltage (P127)
Two independent stages with definite
time elements are available. Each
stage can be configured in AND or
in OR logic mode.
Residual overvoltage
(P125 - P126 - P127)
An additional fourth residual over-
voltage stage protection is available
for earth faults in isolated system or
backup for the fault on busbar side.
The neutral voltage can be measured
directly using a VT transformer or
derived in according to the insertion
Blocking logic
(P125 - P126 - P127)
When MiCOM P125 P126 P127
relays are used in critical networks,
management of protections must take
care of surrounding devices.
Two blocking logic inputs can be
configured independently from each
other to lock any combination of the
selected elements (eg. current
elements, thermal overload, etc.)
Each blocking signal freezes its
associated memory (timer or thermal
state) after drop off, it restart from the
pre-blocking value and status if
conditions are still present.
Selective relay scheme logic
(P126 - P127)
P126 and P127 relay include
selective relay scheme logic.
A dedicated digital input can
temporarily alter the time delay
settings in response to a downstream
relay phase/earth fault start
condition.
This function allows the MiCOM
relays to discriminate correctly when
used in a cascade scheme.
The selective relay scheme logic
function can be enabled or disabled
by the user as required.
Cold load pick up
(P126 - P127)
Cold load pick-up temporarily raises
the phase overcurrent, earth
overcurrent, thermal status, negative
sequence overcurrent settings
following closure of the circuit
breaker, allowing the protection
settings to be set closer to the load
profile, to avoid untimely trips.

easily be assigned to any output.
All inputs and outputs are freely
configurable.
Latching of the outputs relay
(P125 - P126 - P127)
Any of output relays can be
latched.
Reset of all outputs is possible by
logic input, a push button on front
HMI or through the local area
network.
Circuit breaker failure
protection (P126 - P127)
The circuit breaker failure protection
verifies the effective opening of the
CB by a dedicate undercurrent
threshold during a t_BF timer.
The circuit breaker failure function is
activated by the trip of a generic
protection.

Monitoring and
measurement
Circuit Breaker monitoring
(P126 - P127)
Preventive circuit breaker
maintenance is the advance function
provided by the MiCOM P126 and
P127 with adjustable closing and
opening time measurements and
breaker failure protection.
All phase currents I or I2 during the
faults are memorised and summed.
Trip Circuit Supervision [TCS]
(P126 - P127)
MiCOM P126 and P127 relays
allow trip circuit supervision via a
specific input. Result of this
monitoring can be locally or
remotely transmitted.
Measurements
MiCOM P125, P126 and P127
relays monitor permanently all of the
analogue inputs (voltage and current),
display the values on the LCD and
store the measurements in memory.
The measured values are the true
RMS up to the 10th harmonic with a
0.1% accuracy (nominal conditions
at 50 Hz).
Peak demands with a 15 minute
window are also memorised.
All measured and calculated values
can be displayed on the HMI or
transferred locally or remotely upon
user request.
Event records (P126 - P127)
75 logic events are stored in
MiCOM P126 and P127 relays.
Events include inputs/outputs,
change of status, alarms and contact
operations.
All events are time stamped to 1ms.
Disturbance records
(P126 - P127)
Voltage and current waveforms are
captured by MiCOM P126 and
P127 relays.
Up to 5 records of 3 seconds are
stored inside MiCOM relays.
Disturbance recording function is
triggered either by any of the
programmed thresholds or by an
external input or through the local
area network.
Fault records (P126 - P127)
The last 5 faults are stored inside the
MiCOM relays.
Each fault includes:
Record number
• Fault time
• Active setting group
• Faulted phase
• Protection operation
• Magnitude
Fault indicator helps the user to
identify clearly the fault and to
monitor the MiCOM P126 and
P127 relay settings.
User Interface

automation, communication, LEDs,
inputs and outputs can be
programmed and modified using the
front panel user interface.
The 32 alphanumeric back-lit LCD
(available in a range of languages)
provides the user with key
information (faults, measurements,
settings etc)
The menus have a pull-down
structure for easy use and quick
access to any data.
Dedicated LEDs

front panel allows the user easy
access to any data in the MiCOM
P125, P126 and P127 relays.
Local and remote
communication
Two communication ports are
available; a rear port providing
remote communication and a front
port providing local communication.
Remote communication
The remote communications are
based on RS485 voltage levels.
This port is available for MODBUSTM
and IEC 60870-5-103 protocols.
MiCOM relays can transmit to the
local monitoring system (eg. MiCOM
S10) or remotely to the SCADA
settings, measurements, alarms, fault
events, and disturbance records.
The communication parameters
(relay address, data rate, parity, etc.)
can be programmed using the HMI
front port.
Local communications
The front serial communications port
has been designed for use with
MiCOM S1, which fully supports
functions within the relay by
providing the ability to programme
the setting off-line, extract and view
event, disturbance and perform
control functions.
The MiCOM S1 software interface
will be full Windows™ last version
compatible.
Diagnostic
