MIKRO Page 2 1. Introduction The MK2000 combined overcurrent and earth-fault relay is a digital microprocessor based relay. This relay employs extensive advanced numerical techniques which are implemented in real time, for the computation of measured input quantity. Other advanced features include programmable control output, metering and fault data storage.

MK2000 Page 3 2. Description of Operation The MK2000 relay provides three independent phase overcurrent elements and one non-directional earth-fault element. All these elements are connected to the current transformers of the feeder to be protected. 2.1 Phase Overcurrent Protection When the phase current exceeds the low-set I>...
Page 5
2.3 Measuring Elements All the three overcurrent elements and one earth-fault element are provided with user configurable 1A or 5A current transformer inputs. The MK2000 settings are normalized to 1A. If 5A current transformers are used, the user is required to connect the current transformers to the 5A block terminal inputs and normalize all required setting values to 1A before entering it into the relay.

IRF relay is not user programmable. The function of this relay is for signaling an internal relay failure. When the auxiliary power of the relay is switched on and the MK2000 is functioning normally, the IRF relay output will be energized hence the NC contact will open and the NO contact will close.

MIKRO Page 6 2.6 Display This light indicates the presence of auxiliary power supply. This light indicates the relay is in start or trip condition. [Refer to section xv. (page 9) on trip status display].
Page 8
MK2000 Page 7 iii) The 3-digit display indicates the value of the item selected. If any of the above light is on, the relay is in metering mode. The 3-digit display indicates the corresponding phase current or earth-fault current. When this indicator is lighted, the 3-digit display simultaneously indicates the overcurrent low-set current setting.
Page 9
MIKRO Page 8 When this indicator is lighted, the 3-digit display simultaneously indicates the earth-fault low-set current setting. When this indicator is lighted, the 3-digit display simultaneously indicates the earth-fault time multiplier setting. When this indicator is lighted, the 3-digit display simultaneously indicates the earth-fault high-set current setting.

MK2000 Page 9 xv) Start and trip status display a) Normal condition Under normal operating condition, all the light indicators are switched off except the AUX indicator. If the RESET/STEP key is pressed, the corresponding indicator and the 3-digit display will light up. After 6 minutes, the indicator and the 3-digit display will automatically switch off if no further key is pressed.
