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.
Page 165 10.2 GROUND CONNECTION AND DISTURBANCES SUPPRESSION 10 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 10.2GROUND 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.

Page 238 APPENDIX F F.1 INTRODUCTION APPENDIX F TIMING ACCURACY FOR 51 ELEMENTF.1INTRODUCTION The aim of this appendix is to explain the behavior of GE MII Family relay regarding the dependent time overcurrent protection. GEK-106237P MIFII Digital Feeder Relay...
Page 239 Since IEC Standard does not fix time error limits for current ratios below 2 (see F.4 of this appendix for more information), GE MII Family Relays fixes a maximum error of 5% maximum permitted in all range for I / Ipu > 2. Care must be taken to use (in the formula) the current measured by the relay.
Page 240 Please, take into account that the ±5% error is in the Current Axis (X). Once the formula is used, the error in the Time Axis (Y) will be a function of the Current and the Curve, which, in this case, has a great slope: GEK-106237P MIFII Digital Feeder Relay...
Page 241 The current error is below 3%, as stated in the specifications, and the timing error will depend on it, according to the general formula. Though the example is for a 3 phase relay, the same is applicable to single phase ones. MIFII Digital Feeder Relay GEK-106237P...
Page 242 The two criteria that may apply for the trip, according to the IEC Standard, are: 1)Gs ≤ Gt ≤ 1.3*Gs Therefore, there is a 30% tolerance. In GE MIFII Relays, this is the followed criterion, with a 5% tolerance. 2)Gt = Gs Not really recommended, in order to avoid undesired trips.
Page 243 Value of characteristic quantity as multiple of setting value (G Limiting error as multiple of assigned error c)In other cases, the manufacturer shall state the reference. MIFII Digital Feeder Relay GEK-106237P...
Page 244 F.5 CONCLUSIONS F.5CONCLUSIONS The GE MIFII Relay works according to its specifications and to the IEC Standard as well. In the real case used for this report, the specification would be the following range: Lower time limit ≤ Time to trip ≤ Upper time limit 30.375 ≤...
