Three phase tripping with single

for overcurrent and directional

Phase directional overcurrent

(P127)
Three independent stages are
available for directional/
non-directional overcurrent
protection.
Each stage may be selected as non-
directional or directional
(forward/backward).
All stages have definite time delayed
characteristics, the first stage may
also be independently set to one of
twelve IDMT available curves. Figure 1b: Feeder application

ensure that the instantaneous and
time delayed overcurrent elements
operate correctly for close-up three
phase faults.

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
and IEC IDMT curves.
The IDMT stage has reset with
definite or IDMT 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 earth non-directional

Wattmetric
(P125 - P126 - P127)
The sensitive 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.
U

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 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 mode of the phase
voltage.
(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.

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
Front display and menus
All functions including protection,
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
Four LEDs indicate the status of the
MiCOM relays (trip order, alarms,
power on, watchdog)
Acknowledgment of alarm and trip
LEDs can be easily performed
locally or remotely.
Programmable LEDs
4 freely programmable LEDs are
provided on all models of the
MiCOM P125 P126 and P127
relays.
The user can assign independently
to each LED any program function
or combination of thresholds.
Keypad
A seven button tactile keypad on
the front panel allows the user easy
access to any data in the MiCOM
P125 range 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 MODBUS,
Courier, IEC 60870-5-103 and
DNP3.0 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
Automatic tests performed including
power-on diagnostic and continuous
self-monitoring ensure a high
degree of reliability.
