Manual MRS1 GB 1. Introduction and application The MRS1 relay is a negative sequence protection relay with universal application. It serves for negative sequence protection of three-phase generators. With a large number of different tripping characteristics and adjustment possibilities, the tripping characteristic can be made suitable for al- most every type of generator with regard to its special thermal time-constant.
/ digital converter. 3.1.2 Output Relays The MRS1 has 4 output relays, one of them with two change-over contacts is used for tripping, the other relays with one change-over contact each are used for indication. ...

Manual MRS1 GB Woodward Figure 3.1: Front plate LEDs The LEDs L1, L2, L3 and I2 left to the display are bi-colored LED. Green indicates measuring, red fault values. The LED marked with letters RS lights up during setting of the slave address of the device for serial data communication.
Digital circuits The essential part of the MRS1 relay is a powerful microcontroller. All of the operations, from the analog digital convertion to the relay trip decision, are carried out by the microcontroller digitally. The relay program is located in an EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read-Only-Memory).
Usual values are approx. 10 - 15 % of the load which is permissible with symmetrical load. The negative sequence relay MRS1 has a large number of adjustable tripping characteristics. Protection of almost every type of generator is thereby possible.
(Fig. 4.1). Figure 4.2: Three-phase system with unbalanced load Fig. 4.2 shows the current vectors of an asymmetrically loaded generator. The MRS1 relay forms the negative-sequence system by rotation and adding of the current vectors. Tripping takes place according to the adjusted tripping-characteristic.

The functional relationship is described graphically in chapter 7.4. In case of an occurrence of un- balanced-load, the thermal load of the generator prior to it, is taken into account. Should after a pickup of MRS1 relay, the I2s value drop, the time elapsed is calculated backwards exponentially. DOK-TD-MRS1 Rev.A...

The time-constant T for the selection of the tripping characteristic can be calculated as follows: = 60 s / 0.16 = 375 s 360 s T = K1 / K The adjustable time-constant on the MRS1 relay amounts to 360 s. For the warning stage I , a somewhat lower value than I (e.g.

Operations and settings Adjustable parameters The user can adjust 5 parameters in all: Negative sequence current which leads to a warning Time-delay for the warning signal Continuously permissible negative sequence current CHAR - Tripping characteristic (Inverse-time or definite time)
After tripping, the LED "I2" lights up with an additional steady red light. Reset Unit MRS1 has the following three possibilities to reset the display of the unit as well as the output relay at jumper position J3=ON. Manual Reset ...

Test leads and tools 6.4.2 Example of test circuit for MRS1 relay For testing MRS1 relays, you need usually a three phase current test circuit with adjustable phase shifting to simulate various asymmetrical system conditions. Yet you can also use a single-phase test circuit.
By using an RMS-metering instrument, a greater deviation may be observed if the test current contains harmonics. Because the MRS1 relay measures only the fundamental component of the input signals. The harmonics will be rejected using a DFFT-digital filter. Whereas the RMS- metering instrument measures the RMS-value of the input signals.
6.4.6 Checking the extern blocking and reset functions By MRS1 relays, the trip element will be inhibited by extern blocking input. To test the blocking function apply auxiliary supply voltage to extern blocking input of the relay (terminals E8/D8). Inject a test current which could cause a tripping.
