2.3 ACCESS SECURITY FEATURES 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.3ACCESS SECURITY FEATURES MII family relays have several security features to restrict rear port operation when an operator is making changes by the local port or relay keypad, and/or to block access to setting changes for non-authorized users. The relay has an access priority system, giving priority to local access over remote access.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.4 DIFFERENTIAL UNITS 2.4DIFFERENTIAL UNITS 2.4.1 DIFFERENTIAL UNITS (87-1) (87-2) MIB provides 2 Differential Units, 87 1 and 87 2. Each one can be enable/disable and set independently. These elements consist on overcurrent detectors that measure the current flowing in the High-impedance differential circuits.
CT has negligible leakage reactance and that all the CTs have the same ratio. If all of these conditions do not exist, please refer the application to the nearest GE Multilin Sales Office. 2.5.1 SETTING OF THE DIFFERENTIAL ELEMENT It is assumed that an external fault causes complete saturation of the CT in the faulted circuit.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.5 CALCULATION OF SETTINGS 2.5.2 MINIMUM FAULT TO TRIP 87 After the pickup setting of 87 has been established for an application, a check should be made to determine the minimum internal fault current that just cause the unit to operate.

3 HARDWARE 3.4 HIGH-SPEED OVERCURRENT PROTECTION MODULE 3.4.7 RS232 FRONT COMMUNICATIONS PORT A 9-pin RS232C serial port is located on the front of the relay for programming with a portable (personal) computer. All that is required to use this interface is a personal computer running the ENERVISTA MII SETUP software. Next figure shows the communications cable configuration.
“A” and “B”, although many devices use terminals named “+” and “-“. As a general rule, terminals “A” should be connected to terminals “-“, and terminals “B” to “+”. There are exceptions to this rule, such as the GE ALPS and DDS family of relays.
The ENERVISTA MII SETUP software package uses only ModBus protocols, and is designed to communicate with a single relay at a time. GE Multilin offers different communication software packages, such as GE-POWER and enerVista, which can be used to communicate simultaneously with several relays.
4.1 ENERVISTA MII SETUP SOFTWARE 4 COMMUNICATIONS 4.1.2 STARTING COMMUNICATION Before the physical connection to the relay, it is important that the user reviews the safety instructions detailed in section This section explains the importance of connecting both relay ground terminal and computer to a good grounding.

8.2 COMMENTS ON THE TEST EQUIPMENT 8 RELAY COMMISSIONING 8.2COMMENTS ON THE TEST EQUIPMENT All devices that work with alternating current are influenced by frequency. Since a non-sinusoidal waveform results from a fundamental frequency wave plus a series of harmonics of this fundamental wave, it can be concluded that devices working with alternating current (relays) are influenced by the applied waveform.

9 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 9.1 INSTALLATION 9 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 9.1 INSTALLATION The relay should be installed in a clean, dry and dust-free place, with no vibrations. It should also be well lit to facilitate inspection and testing. Operational conditions as defined in section 3 must not be exceeded in any case. The relay should be mounted on a vertical surface.
9.2 GROUND CONNECTION AND DISTURBANCES SUPPRESSION 9 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 9.2GROUND CONNECTION AND DISTURBANCES SUPPRESSION Threaded plug labelled as GND (refer to 1.3) should be correctly grounded, so that the disturbance suppression circuits in the system work correctly. This connection should be as short as possible (preferably 25 cm or less) to guarantee maximum protection.
9 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 9.3 MAINTENANCE 9.3MAINTENANCE Given the important role that protection relays play in the operation of any installation, a periodic program of tests is highly recommended. The unit incorporates built-in diagnostic functions that permit immediate identification, with only the aid of keypad and display, of some of the most likely circuit failures.
9.4 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 9 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 9.4CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS In case of detecting accumulated pollution, the unit can be cleaned with a clean cloth, either dry or slightly dampened with a cleaner containing alcohol. Abrasive cleaners must be avoided, as these can damage the metallic surface or the electrical connection elements. MIB High Impedance Bus Differntial Relay GEK-106426B...
APPENDIX A APPENDIX A MODBUS ® This appendix describes the fundamentals about the communication with MIB units using ModBus protocol. References to memory addresses can vary depending on the model and firmware revision. Therefore, please make sure that the memory map is the appropriate one for the model and firmware version installed. To make this easier for the user, the communications software supplied with MII family units, EnerVista MIIPC, includes a tool that allows to extract the memory map of any MII family module connected to the computer.
A.1 READING VALUES APPENDIX A A.1READING VALUES ® The ModBus function used is number 3 (READ HOLDING REGISTERS). The information retrieved from the relay is in Intel format (little endian), that is to say, ordered from lower to higher weight (first the least significant byte, then the next least significant byte and so on until the most significant one, that will go last).

APPENDIX B APPENDIX B MODEM CONNECTION If we wish to connect the relay to a remote PC, it will be necessary to previously link two modems to the telephone line. The modem on the relay side will receive the call, and the modem on the PC side will make the call. This way, both modems will be configured in different ways: the modem on the PC side will receive the commands from the PC for starting or ending communication, and therefore it will make the call.
B.1 HAYES MODEM APPENDIX B B.1HAYES MODEM In order to establish communication between two HAYES modems, both of them must accept HAYES commands. This is compulsory, as the PC will send specific commands for this type of modem. We must place the AT command before every command.
APPENDIX B B.2 V.25BIS MODEM B.2V.25BIS MODEM ENERVISTA MII SETUP software allows the modem making the call to accept V.25bis commands. In this case, the modem on the relay side could be either HAYES or V.25bis, as it will not need to process any relay command. The configuration of this kind of modem is performed by means of microswitches that set its operation.

APPENDIX C C.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION APPENDIX C HARMONIC FILTERINGC.1GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The present document intends to give an overview on how the MIB relay deals with analog signals, in order to help determine whether the relay is appropriate for certain applications. MIB relays, as the rest of our digital relays, are based on the following functional diagram: Figure C–1: Each of these blocks has its own functionality inside the general operation of the unit, as follows:...
C.2 DIGITAL FILTER APPENDIX C C.2DIGITAL FILTER The first operation performed by the CPU with the voltage and/or current signal samples is the DFT. The Discrete Fourier Transformation consists in decomposing a signal into a series of sinusoidal signals with frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency.
Page 174
APPENDIX C C.2 DIGITAL FILTER Figure C–4: can experience small variations for frequencies that are not the fundamental and its harmonics, as the measure varies for these frequencies. As an example, we can see in the next figure how a relay measure varies when it is set to 50 Hz, and it is being applied 60 Hz.
C.3 MEASURE AT FREQUENCIES BELOW THE RATED FREQUENCY (FREQUENCY TRACKING) APPENDIX C C.3MEASURE AT FREQUENCIES BELOW THE RATED FREQUENCY (FREQUENCY TRACKING) As already mentioned, the digital filter is related to the fundamental frequency, so higher multiple frequency values are annulled During the start-up of generators, the voltage frequency in terminals and currents that can appear in the event of a fault, will depend on the machine speed.
