1.0 Introduction The purpose of this manual is to provide information necessary to install, operate and maintain the Mikro MK3000L relay. MK3000L provides protections for 3 independent phase overcurrent elements and one non- directional earth-fault element. All these elements are connected to the current transformers of the feeders to be protected.

5.0 Functions and Descriptions 5.1 Circuit Breaker Failure Protection Circuit breaker failure protection (CBFP) is used to generate a tripping signal via selected output relay after a preset time delay if the fault has not been cleared after the activation of tripping signal through trip contact relay R1.
5.3 Thermal Overload Protection Thermal overload protection can be used to prevent damages to the equipment of the electrical plant. A prolonged overloading causes excessive heating, which may result in deterioration of the insulation, or in extreme cases, insulation failure. Load current is used to calculate the heating and cooling effect of the equipment to be protected.
5.4 Trip Circuit Supervision Trip Circuit Supervision (TCS) enables the trip circuit to be monitor. To enable TCS function, set one of the Digital Input function to TCS (at the INPUT Menu), Input Type as Active High and set the appropriate TCS delay time. The continuity of trip circuit is monitor when Trip contact R1 is not energized.
Page 34
Examples 3: Trip Coil and Auxiliary Contacts Monitoring when CB is open or closed In this example both 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts are available; the complete trip circuit is monitored when the CB is open or closed. In this case it is necessary to insert resistor R1, if the Trip contact R1 is latched or it stays involuntarily closed.
5.5 Disturbance Recorder The disturbance recorder can be initiated by starting, tripping, input or remote (disturbance). The total disturbance recording time is 6 records of 3 seconds, or 4 × 4s, or 3 × 5s, or 2 × 7s or 1 × 9s. When the available memory space is used up, the new record automatically overwrites the oldest record.
Lockout Reset After lockout the CB can be closed by control close input, CB close button or remote CB close command or by manual CB Close. The inhibit timer starts counting after CB close (52A input activates). When the timer elapsed, lockout condition reset. Block Autoreclose Input If this input activate during reclose cycle , recloser locks out.

MODBUS Protocol Both of the RS232 port on the front panel and the RS485 port on the rear terminals use MODBUS RTU protocol. The RS232 front panel port is fixed to 38400bps, even parity, 1 stop bit, relay address 1. The RS485 rear port communication setting is set by the COMMUNICATION Menu from the front panel.
