SEG Electronics GmbH Manual MRR1 1. Introduction and application The generator rotor protection relay MRR1 com-bines rotor earth fault protection, excitation over- and undercurrent protection as well as rotating diode failure protection. Thus providing a powerful protection regarding the rotor of synchronous generators, covering the...
Manual MRR1 SEG Electronics GmbH 3. Design Connections Figure 3.1: Connection diagram 3.1.1 Output relays The MRR1 has 5 output relays. Relays 1 and 2 are provided with two change-over contacts each, the other relays with one change-over contact each.

Manual MRR1 SEG Electronics GmbH LEDs All LEDs (except LED RS) are two-colored. The LEDs on the left side, next to the alphanumerical display light up green during measuring and red after tripping. The LEDs beyond the push button <SELECT/RESET> are lit green during setting and inquiry pro- cedure of the setting values which are printed on the left side next to the LEDs.
SEG Electronics GmbH Manual MRR1 4. Working principle Rotor earth fault protection A single earth fault on the field windings of a synchronous generator produces no immediate dam- aging effect. It must be detected and removed be-cause of the possibility of a second earth fault that could short a part of the field winding and cause severe damage.

SEG Electronics GmbH Manual MRR1 5. Operation and settings Setting and measuring values By pressing push button <SELECT/RESET> al-ways the next value in sequence is displayed. At first measuring values are shown followed by the setting values. If the relay is in trip condition, dis- play of setting values can only be achieved after pressing push button <ENTER>.

Manual MRR1 SEG Electronics GmbH Blocking of protective functions and assignment of the output relays By pressing the <ENTER> and <TRIP> push buttons simultaneously the menu for blocking of pro- tective functions and assignment of the output relays is activated. The assignments can either be done by using the push buttons on the front plate or via serial interface RS485.
SEG Electronics GmbH Manual MRR1 5.3.2 Assignment of the output relays Unit MRR1 has five output relays. The fifth output relay is provided as permanent normally on alarm relay for self supervision. Output relays 1 - 4 are normally off and can be assigned as alarm- or trip-ping relays to the different supervision functions which can either be done by using the push buttons on the front plate or via serial interface RS485.

SEG Electronics GmbH Manual MRR1 6.4.2 Example of a test circuit Figure 6.1 shows a simple example of a test circuit with variable current source for testing the re- lay. Figure 6.1: Test circuit 6.4.3 Checking the insulation measuring circuit For checking the insulation measuring circuit a resistor with a defined value is simply connected to terminals A2 - A3/A4 (A3 and A4 are to be bridged).
Manual MRR1 SEG Electronics GmbH 6.4.5 Checking the pickup value and reset value For testing these values a current smaller than the adjusted pickup value has to be injected (termi- nals B1 - B2). The current is now to be increased until the relay picks up, which is indicated by lighting up of LEDs le and le>.
