Manual MRR1 GB 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...
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. Function of relays 1 - 4 is programmable. Status of self-supervision is indicated by relay 5. The...

Manual MRR1 GB Woodward 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.
MRR1 provides an alarm and a trip element for the rotor earth fault protection. The insulation resistance measurement system of the MRR1 can be used for synchronous genera- tors of both types, with and without brushes.
AVR response time (e.g. 2 s), to allow transient de-excitation of the genera- tor due to voltage regulator action. If required the MRR1 may be blocked by connecting supply voltage to terminals D8/E8. This might be necessary during start up of the generator.

Manual MRR1 GB Woodward Diode failure protection: The diode failure protection is based on the measurement of the ripple component of the excitation current related to the mean value of the excitation current as per following formula: · 100 Typical values for Ir: ...
Woodward Manual MRR1 GB 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 GB Woodward 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.
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.
Manual MRR1 GB Woodward 6. Relay testing and commissioning The following test instructions should help to verify the protection relay performance before or dur- ing commissioning of the protection system. To avoid a relay damage and to ensure a correct relay operation, be sure that: ...
Example : For this test circuit the dc current is generated from a single-pulse rectification. If a cur- rent of IAV = 5A is fed to the MRR1, this value has to be indicated at the display. By repeatedly pressing the <SELECT/RESET> push button, measuring value Ir is displayed.
(see chapter 5.3.2) trips. The value shown at the ammeter must not vary more than 2 % from the adjusted pickup value of the MRR1. The resetting value is ascertained by slowly de- creasing the test current until the output relay re-leases. Check that the resetting current is 0.98 times smaller than the operating current.
