1. Introduction

The application of powerful microprocessors opens a new chapter for power system protectiverelaying. The digital processing of measured values and the ability to perform complex arithmeticand logic operations, give digital protection relays significant performance and flexibilityimprovements over their traditional analogue counterparts. Additional advantages - very smallpower consumption, adaptability, self-supervision, fault diagnosis through fault data recording,smaller physical construction and selectable relay characteristics - all combine to allow theimplementation of accurate and highly reliable protection schemes at a significantly reducedfinancial burden.

The development of microprocessor based protective relays and their introduction into the markethas been stimulated by the recent trend to replace analogue with digital equipment. This moderntrend has prompted the development of a new P&B protective relay family - the MSP relay series.This comprehensive family of protection relays can satisfy the demands of even the most complexprotection schemes:

MSP - Overcurrent or Earth Fault Relays (Independent time/I.D.M.T)MSP-REF- Restricted Earth Fault (or Ground) RelayMSP- V - Voltage Protection RelaysMRI - Overcurrent Relay (Independent time/I.D.M.T + earth + directional facilities)MRI-V - Voltage Dependent Overcurrent RelayMREF - Restricted Earth Fault RelayMRAR - Auto-Reclosing RelayMRMF - Mains Failure RelayMRVT - Voltage ProtectionMRFT - Frequency ProtectionMROS - Vector SurgeMRNS - Negative Sequence RelayMRRP - Power RelayMRCS - Check Synchronising RelayMRFF - Field Failure RelayMRDG - Differential Relay

The superiority of digital protective relaying over traditional analogue devices, as embodied by theMSP-REF relay family, is summarized by the following features:

•••• Integration of many protective functions in a single compact case•••• High accuracy owing to digital processing•••• Digital relay setting with very wide setting ranges and fine setting steps•••• Comfortable setting procedure through extensive user - relay dialogue•••• Measured values and fault data indication by means of alpha-numeric display•••• Data exchange with DCS/SCADA by means of RS485 interface•••• Operational reliability through self-supervision

The digital overcurrent and earth fault relay MRI, was designed as a universal overcurrentrelay for applications in medium voltage networks. A similar, but simplified version, theMIRI, with reduced functions and without display, is also available.

MSP-REF Technical Manual

01/09/03 Page 2 Issue 2

Similarly for protection against undervoltage, overvoltage and neutral voltage displacement, areduced function non-display relay, the MIRV is available.

To complement the MR series, a range of Auxiliary, Timing and Tripping devices are alsoavailable.

The MSP range of relays were added to create a new series of single pole, competitive overcurrentor voltage protection relays. They have the added feature of a large LCD Display, enabling greaterdisplay of data.

2. Application

The MSP-REF digital overcurrent relay, is a universal protection device for high, medium andlow voltage networks. It is aimed primarily at high impedance differential schemes such asrestricted earth fault and generator differential protection.

In this type of protection scheme, based on circulating current measurement, heavy through faultcurrents during a fault condition can cause current transformers to approach or exceed theirsaturation level and allow sufficient unbalance current to operate the relay. This is due to theasymmetrical current of extreme magnitude which has dissimilar effects on seemingly identicalCT's.

In order to ensure stability under these circumstances, it is usual practice to employ a highimpedance differential scheme, the stability of which is achieved through careful selection of CT's,stabilising resistors, settings and non-linear resistors.

For further details of the application of the relay, please refer to technical note MR901.

3. Features and characteristics•••• Single phase current measurement•••• Stabilisation by means of a resistor in series with the current relay in differential circuit•••• The harmonics produced by current transformer saturation should be rejected by a series

resonant circuit.•••• The total impedance of the relay should be low enough to prevent the current

transformers developing high voltages during maximum internal faults•••• The current setting range of 5% - 1000% In (in steps 1% x In)•••• The time delay is not selectable, but for currents of 1 to 2 x Is there should be a small

time delay of about 40 mS so that no maloperation occurs due to a heavy through fault.• Complete digital sampling and processing of the measured values• High quality filtering of measured values using both 8th order filters and software

filtering to suppress high frequency harmonics and d.c component induced byfaults or system operations

• Wide setting ranges with fine setting steps• Continuous self-supervision of software and hardware• Unauthorized user access control through user defined password protection• Numerical display of setting values, actual measured values and their

active/reactive components and memorized fault data etc, with contrast adjustment.• Serial data communication facilities via RS485• Wide voltage range for DC or AC power supply

5.2. Buttons.

MSP-REF has a 2 line 16 character display which allows for the four buttons to have multipleapplications. The four buttons comprise of:-

• Value Up/Scroll Up (UP)• Value Down/Scroll Down (DOWN)• Enter/Yes (S1)• Exit/No (S2)

The bottom left and right corners are accessed by using the S1 and S2 buttons. They will dowhatever appears in that area of the display.

For example, with the display as shown above:

UP and DOWN will scroll the user up and down the setting options.

S1 which is below the left hand corner of the display corresponds to the "tick" and will thereforeenter the "Protection Settings". This button would also, in other screens, be used to enter a value.

S2, which is below the right hand corner of the display, corresponds to the "cross" and willtherefore exit this screen. This button would also be used to abandon a setting value withoutstoring it.

6. Working principles

6.1 Analogue circuits

The incoming voltages from the external transformers are converted to signal levels in proportionto the voltages, via the internal input transducers and shunt resistors. The noise signals caused byinductive and capacitive coupling are suppressed by an active filter circuit and an 8th orderswitched capacitive filter. The analogue signals are fed to the A to D converter of the micro-processor and transformed to digital signals through sample-hold circuits. The analogue signalsare sampled at a frequency of 2 kHz, namely a sampling rate of 0.5 mS for every measuredquantity.

6.2 Digital circuits

The essential component of the MSP-REF relay is a powerful micro-controller. All of theoperations, from the analogue digital conversion to the relay trip decision, are carried out by themicro-controller. The relay program, located in EPROM, allows the CPU of the micro-controllerto calculate the phase voltage in order to detect a possible fault.

The digitised low level signals are processed within the software to give an actual value. Theactual calculated voltage values are compared with the relay settings. When a voltage is over (orunder) the unit starts the corresponding time delay calculation. When the set time delay haselapsed, a trip signal is given.

The relay setting values for all parameters are stored in EEPROM, so that the actual relay settingscannot be lost, even in the event of auxiliary supply interruption. The micro-processor issupervised through a built in "Watch-dog" timer. Should a failure occur the watch-dog timer resetsthe micro-processor and gives an alarm signal via the self supervision output relay.

6.3. Power supply.

Each relay can be operated from a wide range of power supplies:

Vaux = 80 - 265V AC/DC

MSP-REF Technical Manual

01/09/03 Page 7 Issue 2

6.4. Operation of High Impedance Differential Protection.

The relay is connected in the differential circuit across the CT's as shown below.

In the case of a through fault condition, both CT's will reflect the fault current into the secondary.If the CT magnetising curves, internal impedance’s (Rs) and lead resistances (RL) are similar forboth the CT's, the voltage Vs will be approximately zero.

During saturationis short circuit

Rsr Vs

R

Z Z

Protected ObjectIF IF

Equivalent Circuit to describe the working principles of the MSP-REF

However, if the fault current passes only through one CT (in zone fault) then the second CT willappear as an open circuit (magnetising current only), and Vs will be of sufficient magnitude tooperate the relay through Rsr.

During severe fault conditions, this voltage may rise to an extremely high value. Thus, a voltagedependent non-linear resistor may be required to limit this voltage.

In practice if one CT becomes saturated first, during a through fault, inadvertent operation mayoccur. In order to prevent this a stabilising resistor Rsr is fitted.

The relay input circuit is tuned to the network supply frequency (50/60 Hz) by means of a resonantcircuit and harmonics produced by the CT's can be effectively rejected.

6.5. Requirements for Current Transformers.

In order to ensure the correct operation of the MSP-REF protection relay, the characteristic of theCT must be selected to suit its application.

In general the CT's must be Class X, all of the same ratio and similar secondary resistance. Theyshould have a knee point of at least twice the setting voltage.

7. Operation and setting

7.1 Layout of the control elements

All control elements required for the operation and adjustment of the MSP-REF are located onthe front panel as shown in Figure 5.1. They are divided according to function into the followinggroups:

• Alphanumeric Display: Indication of parameter set values, actual measured values andrecorded fault data.

• Push Buttons: Selection of parameter to be adjusted, quantity to be measured andadjustment of parameter values. Where each of the four buttons hasmore than one action;

<S1> This buton located in the top left of the button array is used todo whatever appears in the bottom left hand corner of thedisplay. This can be storing a value, entering a screen etc.

<UP> This button, located in the middle top of the button array, hastwo actions:-

1. Increment of the setting values for the parameter selected.2. Scrolling through the menu system.

<DOWN> This button, located in the middle bottom of the button array,has two actions:-

1.Increment of the setting values for the parameter selected.2. Scrolling through the menu system.

<S2> This buton located in the top right of the button array is used todo whatever appears in the bottom right hand corner of thedisplay. This can be reseting faults, exiting a screen etc.

7.2. Accessing the MSP-REF Menu System.

The MSP-REF menu system is accessed using the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to scroll throughthe options and the <S1> and <S2> buttons to select the options.

Once a value screen is shown the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons are used to increase or decreasethe chosen value. The <S1> and <S2> are then used to store the value.

The full menu system can be seen in the menu tree at Section 7.3.

7.4. Relay setting principles

The setting menu is protected by a password to ensure only authorised changes to the relaysettings occur. If the password is enabled then the user must enter the password to enter thesettings. The following are the relay parameters that can be set by the user, dependent upon relaytype;

7.4.1. Communication Settings.

P&B Engineering has developed Network Gold, our own specific protocol for use with ourRelays, which permits full use of the vast amount of data available from each device. The ASCIIbased protocol has message lengths limited to 9 bytes and with the use of a 16 bit CCITTapproved CRC gives complete data integrity.

Baud Rate.This value determines the speed at which the relay communicates through its RS485 port. It can beset to 9600 Baud or 19200 Baud with a default setting of 9600.

Link Address.This setting range 0 to 32, with a default setting of 0, identifies the relay to the XCell unit (or anysoftware capable of communicating to a Data highway) to which the RS485 Data Highway of theMSP is connected. It is required to be set if the setting software is to be used. When set to 0 thefeature is turned off.

7.4.2. System/Unit Settings.

Password.The programmable password is required (if enabled) when the user enters the settings menu. If theuser attempts to change a parameter and the password has not been entered then the user is takendirectly to this screen. The password is then entered here and remains valid as long as the relay isswitched on. If the power is switched off the password must be entered into the relay, whenpowered up, to allow the changing of parameters. This also displays the current password, asentered by the user. The password has a default value of 6363.

MSP Password.The user is able to determine whether a password is required to enter the menu screen by settingthis parameter to Enabled or Disabled, with a default setting of Disabled.

Set Password.If the password is disabled or the correct password is entered then the Set Password optionappears. This option enables the user to change the password, from the default password of"6363". The password can be set in the range 0000 to 9999.

7.4.3. Protection Settings.

MSP-REF Technical Manual

01/09/03 Page 11 Issue 2

If the relay measuring current is higher than the setting value, the relay trips instantaneously withthe operating time approximately <40 mS (this includes the time taken for the output relay tooperate).

Careful selection of Rsr and Is must be made such that excessive voltage is not present for highfault currents.

For further details of the setting of the MSP-REF relay, please refer to technical note MR901 forrestricted earth fault, or MR904 for Bus-Zone protection.

Trip.This setting will determine what trip output is activated once the Trip Level has been exceeded. Ifone of the output relays is set to the corresponding trip it will close when the protection functionhas tripped. The options are Trip A, Trip B and Trip C. This option can also be disabled.

Alarm/Warn.This setting will determine what relay output is activated once the Trip Level has been exceeded.The options are Warn & Alarm, Warn only and Alarm only. If set to Warn then when the TripLevel is exceeded then the Output Relay set to Warn will close. If set to Alarm then when the TripLevel and the Trip Time is exceeded then the Output Relay set to Alarm Fail Safe will open. Thisoption can also be disabled.

Reset.This value determines how the fault can be reset. The option are either:-

Auto Reset. This option, when set to Yes, automatically resets the Function when thesituation that caused the trip has been removed. This can be set to Yes or No with a defaultof No.

Panel-Reset. This option, when set to Yes, allows a reset of a fault to be accomplishedfrom the front panel of the relay. This can be set to Yes or No with a default of No.

Serial-Reset. This option, when set to Yes, allows a reset of a fault to be accomplishedthrough the serial link of the relay. This can be set to Yes or No with a default of No.

Remote-Reset. This option, when set to Yes, allows a reset of a fault to be accomplishedthrough the digital input to the relay. This can be set to Yes or No with a default of No.

It is possible to set the relay such that Panel-Reset, Serial Reset and Remote Reset (or anycombination of the three) are set to yes. This would mean it is possible to have more than one wayof resetting the relay. If it is set to Auto-Reset the relay will reset automatically so therefore it isnot possible to set Panel, Serial and Remote to yes when Auto is set to Yes.

7.4.4. Auxiliary Relay Settings.

The MSP-REF has three relays, two of which can be programmed. They have the followingdefault Values:

Auxiliary Relay #1 Set to TRIP AAuxiliary Relay #2 Default Alarm FS (Programmable)Auxiliary Relay #3 Default SELF SUPERVISION. (Programmable)

They relays can be programmed as follows:-

Trip A, B, C.This closes the relay when a Protection Function, with the corresponding feature enabled, trips.

Trip A Fail Safe.This opens the relay when Trip A is closed.

Warn.This closes the relay when a Protection Function, with the corresponding feature enabled, is aboutto trip, i.e. its Trip Value has been exceeded and it is counting down to a trip.

Alarm Fail Safe.This opens the relay when a Protection Function, with Alarm enabled, trips.

Self Supervision.This will close the relay when there is an internal fault on the MSP-REF.

7.4.5. Contrast Settings.

The MSP-REF has an LCD display whose contrast can be adjusted. This is done in the initialscreen (that appears on power up before changing to the menu screen.) To get to the Initial Screenpress the UP button when the screen is displaying the Menu Screen. The Initial Screen will thenappear, displaying both the Serial Number and the Software Version.

To adjust the contrast press the left button(S1) to decrease the contrast and the right screen (S2) toincrease the contrast. There are ten steps from the least to the greatest contrast.

11.8. Housing.

Throughout the MSP-REF series range a modular housing system has been employed, utilizingthe latest high quality UK manufactured industry standard case components. This approach affordsmaximum flexibility for both the relay scheme designer and the maintenance engineer. The relaymodules are fully withdrawable for ease of maintenance and where applicable incorporateautomatic short-circuiting CT connections to avoid dangerous open circuit CT overvoltages. Aclear plastic front cover is provided for inspection purposes.

MSP units are supplied in standard height (179mm≅7in.) cases, complying with IEC 297 size 4U.

The rigid case wall is manufactured from a single sheet of hot dipped galvanized steel coatedexternally with Plastisol PVC and internally with a low gloss alkyd paint finish. This constructiontechnique provides improved thermal transfer characteristics over plastic walled cases andcombines exceptional corrosion and flame resilience with good electromagnetic and electrostaticscreening properties allowing many relays to be freely situated in close proximity and hazardousenvironments. When the relay is inserted a leaf spring along the top edge of the module makescontact with a solidly bonded nickel plated steel strip on the interior of the case, providingexcellent earth continuity. This strip is brought out at the rear of the case, above the terminalblock, where it forms a separate earthing terminal. A rigid front mounting flange is providedallowing the entire range of standard cases to be flush mounted without alteration. These flangesare also used to mount the relay inspection cover which is secured by thumbscrews. Securelybonded channels can be provided on the top and bottom surfaces toward the rear of the caseallowing large rigid assemblies to be created by the use of joining strips located in these channels.

This uniform but highly flexible housing system integrates excellent mechanical strength withgood electrical practice in industry standard sizes.
