Description
In the MiCOM range, the P124
overcurrent protection relays offer
the protection and supervision
functions for a wide variety of high
and medium voltage electrical
networks.
They provide efficient protection for
industrial plants, utilities’ distribution
substations or customers and can
be used as either main or backup
protection.
They have been designed for
complete, fully safe protection,
without requiring an auxiliary
power supply.
The following two models are
available:
• Self-powered P124
• Dual-powered P124.
The self-powered P124 model offers
a simple and low-cost solution when
no external auxiliary power supply
is available.
The dual-powered P124 relay, in
addition to its protection functions
and when powered by an external
auxiliary source, transmits
recording and measuring data to a
supervisor via the communications.
Should the auxiliary power supply
fail, the protection and tripping
functions remain fully operational.
These two types of MiCOM P124
relays take the power necessary to
their operating from the line current
transformers.
The power supply to the electronic
circuits of the MiCOM P124s has
been optimised so as to trigger the
circuit-breaker with a load current
of 0.2 In (sensitive version) on at
least one phase.
The hardware architecture and
software algorithms have been
studied to operate on very short
failure detection times, so that,
starting from a load current of 0.2
In for the sensitive model or 0.4 In
for the standard model; tripping
occurs within no more than 30 ms.
The MiCOM P124 relays are
equipped with two types of circuit-
breaker trip outputs, fully
independent from an external
auxiliary power supply:
2
• a capacitance discharge output
capable of putting out sufficient
power to a striker releasing the
actuating mechanism of the
circuit-breaker,
• a changeover contact relay
output capable of sending an
order directly to the circuit-
breaker coil.
The operator interface is user-
friendly and simple to apply. A
back-lit LCD display ensures easy
reading, even when there is
insufficient ambient light.
The front panel comprises an
electromagnetic bistable flag for
tripping indication. As an option of
the dual-powered model, four
additional magnetic indicator flags
can be assigned by the user.
Depending on the model, one or
several LEDs indicate correct
operation of the relay and other
information concerning protection
of the electrical system.
Even when the circuit-breaker is
open, i.e. the relay is no longer
supplied with a load current,
settings can be applied thanks to a
simple and unexpensive battery
box.
On one side, this battery box is
connected to the RS232 port on the
relay front panel and on the other
to the PC containing the support
software.
The support software allows
extraction of the data stored in the
relay for settings, measurements
and fault records. The disturbance
and event files of the dual-powered
model can also be uploaded.
The two models offer a wide range
of overcurrent protection functions
without requiring an external
auxiliary supply: three independent
phase stages, three independent
earth stages, eleven groups of IDMT
curves and two thermal overload
stages.
The dual-powered model proposes
additional protection and
automation functions, such as for
instance communications
(MODBUS, IEC60870-5-103, etc.).
Some of these additional functions
are operational only when an
auxiliary power supply is available.
In the event of loss of this power
supply, the performances of the
P124 dual-powered relay become
equivalent to those of the self-
powered P124 model.
The various functions provided by
these two models are described in
the following table.
The MiCOM P124 relays are
present in the same 4U-30 TE
shallow metal case for mounting
either in a rack or a cabinet.

Protection and control
Time-delayed phase
overcurrent (51)
The MiCOM P124 relays provide
three phase current inputs. Three
independent stages are available.
For the first stage, the user may
select among 11 different types of
curves (IEEE/ANSI, IEC, RI).
For each curve model a selection of
60 different TMS values are
available to optimise fault detection
and shorten tripping time in co-
ordination with fuses, motors,
feeders, transformers and other
devices.
The second and third stages have
independent settings with
adjustable definite time tripping.
The time delays are programmable
from 0 to 180s thus providing
maximum selectivity.
The phase current range is
adjustable independently for each
stage from 0.1 to 40 times the
rated phase current (first threshold
limited at 4In).
All the phase overcurrent settings
are fully programmable using the
front panel operator interface, the
support software front connection
and, for the dual-powered model,
a remote communication control
system.
Instantaneous phase
overcurrent (50)
For each phase overcurrent stage,
the instantaneous information is
generated within 30 ms after the
threshold has been exceeded, from
Ith
Time

I >> t >>

Figure 1: Overcurrent stages
a load current of 0.2In on at least
one phase (starting value of the
P124 relay sensitive version), or
0.4In on at least one phase
(starting value of P124 relay in the
standard version). This
instantaneous information is
generated within 60 ms of the
circuit-breaker opening (close-on-to-
fault case). These correspond to the
tripping time if the corresponding
timer is set to zero.
For the dual-powered model, each
instantaneous item of information
can be assigned by the user to the
output contacts, the four LEDs and
the four magnetic indicator flags on
the front panel.
Time-delayed earth fault
(51N)
Earth fault detection is identical to
that of the time-delayed phase
overcurrent.
Three independent earth fault
stages can be selected. For the first
stage, the user can select either any
of the 11 families of curves and
TMS values or a definite time
setting.
Earth current range is adjustable
0.002 to 40 times the rated earth
current to allow maximum sensitivity
for earth fault detection.
The earth current originates either
from a CT core of sufficient power
(usable with the 0.4 In starting
current standard model only), or a
residual connection of the three line
CTs.
Instantaneous earth fault
(50N)
Just as for the phase faults, the
MiCOM P124 relays generate
instantaneous data for each earth
fault stage, with the same
characteristics.
For the dual-powered model, the
t >>> instantaneous earth fault stages can
be set by the user at the output
Current
contacts, on the four LEDs and the
four magnetic indicator flags on the
front panel.
4
Thermal overload (49)
Transformers and cables must be
protected to account for their
particular thermal characteristics.
The MiCOM P124 relays include a
thermal overload element based on
the true RMS value of the current.
Alarm and overload thresholds as
well as thermal time constants are
fully programmable to match each
device requirement.
Undercurrent (37)
MiCOM P124 dual-powered relays
provide undercurrent protection.
This function allows typical
applications such as loss of load
and circuit breaker failure
detection.
Negative sequence
overcurrent (46)
In order to maximise the operation
of electrical systems, the dual-
powered MiCOM P124 relays
include a negative sequence
overcurrent protection function.
This programmable function is
particularly well suited for detecting
any phase unbalance conditions.
Instantaneous and time-delayed (DT
or IDMT) negative sequence
overcurrent stages are the same as
for the phase overcurrent settings.
Broken conductor
One type of unbalanced fault,
which may occur on the system, is
an open circuit fault. This can arise
from broken conductors,
maloperation of single phase
switchgear, or the blowing of fuses.
The dual-powered MiCOM P124
relays incorporate an element
which measures the ratio of
negative to positive sequence
current (I2/I1). This fully
programmable function allows
higher sensitivity than negative
sequence overcurrent detection.
Blocking logic
When MiCOM relays are used in
electrical networks, the
management of protection relays
must take surrounding devices into
consideration.
The MiCOM P124 dual-powered
relays have two programmable
logic inputs, which when energised
“block” the associated protection
time-delays and, upon de-
energising and if the fault is still
present, to resume the timers counts
from the “blocked” value. This
function is deactivated in the event
of auxiliary power supply loss.
Figure 2: Broken Conductor
Detection
Selective relay scheme logic
In a high performance electrical
network, the primary objective is to
reduce outages. The dual-powered
MiCOM P124 relays allow a logic
order sent by a downstream relay
to be considered, by increasing the
trip time delay, in order to
selectively isolate the faulted
section.
The selective scheme logic is an
alternative for operators more
familiar with this type of selectivity
than with blocking logic .
Cold load pickup
When a feeder is loaded after a
long outage, all connected devices
such as transformers will call for an
over energisation current, over the
nominal setting, during a short time.
To prevent unwanted tripping,
MiCOM P124 relays have a cold
load pickup function which
automatically increases the
standard settings during a
dedicated adjustable time. After a
successful close, all settings are
returned to their nominal values.
This function is inactive in the event
of auxiliary power supply failure.
Setting groups
The dual-powered MiCOM P124
relays have two selectable setting
groups including all the protection
and monitoring functions.
When the auxiliary power supply is
present, group 1 is switched over to
group 2 either by energising a
dedicated logic input or through the
front panel operator interface , or
by local (RS232) or remote (RS485)
communication.
Switching from one setting group to
the other is achieved only if no
protection or control function –
except thermal overload – is
running in order to prevent
unnecessary tripping.
Assignable inputs and
outputs
The dual-powered MiCOM P124
relays have seven output relays with
unbiased changeover contacts and
five opto-isolated logic inputs. All
the logic inputs and outputs (except
for the hardware watchdog RL0
relay) can be assigned by the user.
All the logic data available in the
relays can be assigned and
combined with the different logic
outputs.

Tripping outputs
The MiCOM P124 relays have two
types of tripping outputs that are
entirely independent from any
auxiliary supply:
• a capacitance discharge output
capable of supplying a striker
with an energy of 20mJ at 12
volts.
5
• another changeover contact
relay output with a high breaking
capacity to trip the circuit-breaker
coil.
Figure 4: MiCOM P124 adapted
to a striker
Optional autorecloser (79)
MiCOM P124 dual-powered relays
include an optional 4 shot
autorecloser. All programmed
protection functions may start any
of the shots independently and the
user can program which functions
are allowed to trip after any of the
shots. Dead and reclaim times are
freely adjustable.
The front panel LEDs can be set to
match the status of the autorecloser
A counter stores the number of
reclose commands, incremented
with each reclose order. This
information can be displayed
locally or remotely.
Nominal setting
Naturally, this function can be
activated only when the auxiliary
4 5 6 Time
power supply is present.
Output relay latching (86)
This function is available only for
the dual-powered versions of the
MiCOM P124 relay.
All the assignable output relays,
including tripping, can be kept
closed after the fault has
disappeared.
This latching function can be reset
either through the front panel, by a
logic input or the local (RS232) or
remote (RS485) communications.
Monitoring functions
offered by the dual-
powered model
Circuit breaker failure
protection
Circuit-breaker failure protection
built into the MiCOM P124 dual-
powered relays allows tripping of
upstream circuit breakers to ensure
fault clearance.
This function monitors the opening
time of the three poles of the circuit-
breaker to ensure that they stay
within a settable time window.
Circuit-breaker maintenance
Circuit-breaker preventive
maintenance is the advanced
function provided by the MiCOM
P124 relays.
The currents, tripping and closing
times are recorded and the user
can set the alarm thresholds
according on the circuit-breaker.
Broken current information per
phase is stored and can be
retrieved for consultation.
Trip circuit supervision
The MiCOM P124 relay constantly
monitors the trip circuit and ensures
that it is available. The operator
can easily view this information,
both locally and remotely, and
optimise switchgear maintenance.
Event recording
The dual-powered model of the
P124 relay logs the different state
changes affecting the logic inputs
and outputs. All these events are
time-tagged to 1ms. Up to 75
events are stored. That database
can be consulted or sent to the
operator via a local (RS232) or
remote (RS485) request.
Disturbance recording
Five 3-second records can be saved
in the MiCOM relays.
The current sampling frequency is
1600 Hz. The different recordings
can be extracted remotely (RS 485)
or locally (RS232).
Figure 5: Analysis of disturbance
records files with
WINDR MANAGER
Measurements
MiCOM P124 relays monitor
permanently all of the current
inputs, calculate the frequency and
the line currents, display the values
on the LCD display and store the
measurements in memory.
The measured values are true RMS
up to the 10th harmonic.
The user can set the measurement
and regular storage of the peak
and rolling demand. These values
are saved and sent to the operator
upon local (RS232) or remote
(RS485) request.
Fault recording
The two MiCOM P124 models
record the 5 most recent system
faults. The faulted phase, the origin
of the fault, together with the
magnitude, are available on the
display and can be retrieved by the
support software and the front
panel.
In addition, the dual-powered
model offers the following functions:
time-tagging of all parameters,
status of logic inputs and outputs
and remote retrieval of stored
information.
6
User interface
Front panel and menus
All functions including protection
automation, communication, LEDs,
inputs and outputs can be
programmed and modified using
the front panel LCD and 7-key
keypad. The 32 alphanumerical
back-lit LCD display 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
A Healthy LED on the front panel of
the MiCOM P124 relays indicates
that the relay is correctly supplied
with an adequate line current.
In addition, for the dual-powered
model, three LEDs indicate the relay
condition (Trip, Alarm, Watchdog).
Assignable LEDs
(dual-powered model only)
To facilitate identification of
electrical faults, 4 LEDs can be
programmed by the user. Each LED
can be activated by one or a
combination of several thresholds or
by a logic input.
Dedicated magnetic indicator
flag
The front panel also features a
bistable magnetic flag showing
when a tripping order has been
issued to the cirduit-breaker.
Assignable magnetic
indicator flags
(dual-powered model only)
In order to display the faults even
when the auxiliary power is down,
four additional bistable magnetic
flags show an exact replica of the
four programmable LEDs.
Figure 6: Front panel of the
MICOM P124 relay,
dual-powered model
RS485 communications
The dual-powered MiCOM P124
includes an RS485 communication
rear port. This port is available for
MODBUSTM, Courier, DNP3 or
IEC 60870-5-103 protocols.
MiCOM relays can transmit to the
local monitoring system (e.g.
MiCOM S10) or remotely to the
SCADA settings, measurements,
alarms, faults, events and
disturbance records. The
communication parameters (relay
address, data rate, parity, etc.) can
be programmed using the operator
interface front port.
A communication failure does not
affect the protection functions of the
MiCOM relays.
Communication RS232
An RS232 port is available on the
front panel of the MiCOM P124
relays for downloading a software
version (for updating, changing
languages, etc) and connecting the
PC equipped with the support
software.
Fully WINDOWSTM compatible
(3.1, 95, 97 and NT), the support
software allows easy setting of
MiCOM P124 relays in addition to
uploading of event records, fault
records, disturbance records,
settings or measurements, for onsite
use or ulterior processing.
Battery box
In the event of the load current
falling to less than the minimum
current needed to supply the
MiCOM P124 relays and the
auxiliary power supply failing
simultaneously for the dual-powered
model, a power supply battery box
is available to the user, thus
ensuring temporary supply to the
relay to consult or modify data.
Figure 7: Battery box MiCOM E1

Hardware
The MiCOM P124 relays are
numerical protection and control
relays.
Case
The relays have a drawout metal
4U shallow case. All the CT inputs
are short-circuited if the active unit
is withdrawn from the case. All
MiCOM relays can be in panel or
rack mounted.
They require no handling
operations, since all the settings are
put in through the operator
interface.
Wiring
External connections are made via
MIDOS type terminal blocks. Each
connection includes 2 x 6.35mm
Faston and one M4 screw fixing.
The wiring for all both MiCOM
P124 models is standard to provide
maximum compatibility.
