1.4 Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
All electronic equipment is electro static-sensitive, some components
more than others. To protect these components from electro static
damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or eliminate
electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the
static electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a
grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing
clothing made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend
materials as much as possible because these do not store static
electric charges as much as synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or
Styrofoam cups, cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane
wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash
trays) away from the control, the modules, and the work area as
much as possible.
4. Do not remove any printed circuit board (PCB) from the control
cabinet unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB
from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it.
Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in
the
antistatic protective bag.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715,
Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit
Boards, and Modules.

5. Working principle
5.1 Analogue circuits
The incoming currents from the main current transformers on the protected object are converted to
voltage signals in proportion to the currents via the input transformers and burden. The noise signals caused by inductive and capacitive coupling are suppressed by an analogue R-C filter circuit.
The analogue voltage signals are fed to the A/D-converter of the microprocessor and transformed
to digital signals through Sample- and Hold-circuits. The analogue signals are sampled at 50 Hz
(60 Hz) with a sampling frequency of 800 Hz (960 Hz), namely, a sampling rate of 1.25 ms (1.04
ms) for every measuring quantity.
5.2 Digital circuits
The essential part of the MRIK3-C relay is a powerful microcontroller. All of the operations, from the
analogue digital conversion to the relay trip decision, are carried out by the microcontroller digitally.
The relay program is located in an EPROM (Electrically-Programmable-Read-Only-Memory). With
this program the CPU of the microcontroller calculates the three phase currents and ground current
in order to detect a possible fault situation in the protected object.
For the calculation of the current value an efficient digital filter based on the Fourier Transformation
(DFFT - Discrete Fast Fourier Transformation) is applied to suppress high frequency harmonics
and DC components caused by fault-induced transients or other system disturbances.
The calculated actual current values are compared with the relay settings. If a phase current exceeds the pickup value, an alarm is given and after the set trip delay has elapsed, the corresponding trip relay is activated.
The relay setting values for all parameters are stored in a parameter memory (EEPROM - Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory), so that the actual relay settings cannot be lost,
even if the power supply is interrupted.
The microprocessor is supervised by a built-in "watchdog" timer. In case of a failure the watchdog
timer resets the microprocessor and gives an alarm signal, via the output relay "self supervision".
5.3 Status descriptions
Reaction to protection events is possible at any time unless blocking is expressly desired (refer to
6.12.1). In the inactive and blocked state auto reclosing is not possible.
For the explanation of the functional sequence the following six status transitions are defined.
5.3.1 „Inactive“
The relay MRIK3-C is in "inactive" status if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
The circuit breaker is in position "OFF",
the unit is in "blocked" status,
the unit is not in "starting/cycle" status
5.3.2 „Reclaim time“ tR
The relay MRIK3-C is in "reclaim time" status (tR) when the reclaim time
has not yet expired or
not interrupted by other incidents.
18 DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A
Page 19
Manual MRIK3-C EN Woodward
5.3.3 „AR-ready“
The relay MRIK3-C is in position "AR-ready" status when the following conditions are fulfilled:
The circuit breaker is in position "ON",LED CB emit red light
the reclaim time has expired,
the unit is not in "blocked" status,
the unit is not in "starting cycle" status.
Only in "AR-ready" status a reaction of the AR-unit to the protection incidents is possible!
5.3.4 „AR-starting“ (dead time)
In "AR-starting" status the start conditions for an automatic reclosing by means of the protection
commands and the circuit breaker position are checked.
5.3.5 „AR-cycle“ (auto reclosing)
The reclosing commands are carried out in "AR-cycle" status by means of the conditions and the
presetting. The results (AR successful or unsuccessful) are evaluated accordingly.
5.3.6 „AR-blocked“
Unit MRIK3-C changes immediately to "AR-blocked" status when an external or internal blocking
signal (A2-A3) exists. (activation via assigned digital input, see Chap. 6.12.4). No auto reclosing is
possible in "AR-blocked" status.
5.3.7 „Fast Trip Mode“
By way of the function "Assignment of the AR functions" it is possible to activate or deactivate a
Fast Trip function for each AR stage and for each protective function. This is applicable for tripping
before the 1
st
AR up to tripping after the last AR. (see chapter 6.12.3)
5.3.8 „Blocking mode“
By way of the function "Assignment of the AR functions" it is possible to activate or deactivate a
protection function for each AR stage. This is applicable for tripping before the 1
after the last AR. (see chapter 6.12.3)
st
AR up to tripping
5.3.9 „Activating of AR“
Prior to every AR it is possible to stipulate which kind of tripping (I> or I>>, etc.) will lead to automatic reclosing. This can be separately fixed for each AR stage. (see chapter 6.12.3)

From Table 5.1 you can detect what status transitions of MRIK3-C are possible. When the unit is
for instance in "cycle" status (see also para. 4.3) only two status transitions are possible:
status transition to "ready"-status when the auto reclosing takes place
status transition to "blocked" status by external or internal blocking.
The grey shaded sections indicate that no transition is possible.
5.3.11 AR information inputs
By means of the information inputs the MRIK3-C decides whether and when automatic reclosing
may take place. The functions are assigned via the function assignment of the digital inputs as far
as they are required. (refer to chapter 6.12.5)
If one of the three CB position indicators described in the following is activated, it must also be
used because otherwise no correct function indication is possible.
CR = "CB ready" signal (e.g. motor switch or spring power storage)
With this function the CB ready message is signalled.
CI = "CB feedback CB – ON"
With this function the CB position ON is signalled. Signal = 1 = CB is switched on.
CO = "CB feedback CB – OFF
With this function the CB position OFF is signalled. Signal = 1 = CB is switched off.
20 DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A
Page 21
Manual MRIK3-C EN Woodward
If both functions are assigned to one digital input, a CB ON position is
only recognised if 1 is recognised via the CI function and 0 via the CO
function. For the OFF position both signals must indicate a negative
signal. All other position indications lead to a CB fault signal. This is
visually indicated by the flashing CB LED. (refer to chapter 5.7.11)
AR blocked
With this function an AR can be blocked at any time. If the function has been set, the LED 01
lights up.
SY= SY = Synchronisation signal
This function permits an extension of the dead times tD. If this function has been activated, there is
a waiting time of 150 s for the synchronisation signal after the dead times have expired. If the input
has not been set after this period has expired, the MRIK3-C stops the AR cycle. The display shows
"S/E?". If the digital input is activated during this period, the ON signal is set without delay.
5.4 Functional sequence
5.4.1 Switching on MRIK3-C
Is the C.B. to be supervised in OFF position while “switching ON” the MRIK3-C, the unit changes
into "inactive" status when applying auxiliary voltage. The LED "CB" on the front plate remains
dark. The unit is not ready for auto reclosing. If, however, the C.B. is in “ON” position when applying
the auxiliary voltage, the unit changes into "reclaim time"-status and remains blocked during this period (from 1 s to 300 s adjustable).
This is indicated at the unit by LED t
"ready" status and is then ready for auto reclosing. LED "CB" signalizes this status.
In case unit MRIK3-C is in "blocked" status before auxiliary voltage failure occurred, this condition
remains also after recurrence of auxiliary voltage.
The LED CB shows the position of the C.B.
. After expiration of the reclaim time the unit changes to
R
5.4.2 Circuit breaker manual closing
If the circuit breaker is closed manually to a faultless line, first the unit remains blocked during the
reclaim time (adjustable 1 - 300 s) and then changes to "ready" status. If the circuit breaker is
closed manually to a faulty line (e.g. short circuit), no AR follows. Unit MRIK3-C remains in "inactive" status after protection tripping. By switching the circuit breaker on manually it is possible to
choose whether the CB is to switch off with or without delay action in case of connection to a faulty
line. Setting is done separately for each protection stage. (refer to chapter 6.5.4; 6.5.9; 6.5.15 and
6.5.19)
5.4.3 Circuit breaker manual open
When switching off the circuit breaker manually the unit changes at once without time delay from
"ready" status into "inactive" status. Auto reclosing is not possible. The LED CB emit green light.
5.4.4 Starting AR
When the information "protection energized" and "protection tripping" is applied, the unit changes
from "ready" status to "starting" status. The LED "AR" lights up. The "starting" status begins with
the start of a fault timer (tF from 0.1 s to 2.0 s adjustable).
DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A 21
Page 22
Woodward Manual MRIK3-C EN
The LED tF lights up red. A tripping timer (set at 0.2 s) is started when the mains protection tripping
command takes place before expiration of the set fault time. (C.B. must be tripped within this time).
The "start conditions not fulfilled" is evaluated and the MRIK3-C is locked for the duration of the reclaim time when there is a time difference between mains protection-energized and tripping, which
is larger than the set "fault time". The LED tF flashes red. If the OFF-signal of the C.B. appears before expiration of the tripping timer, it is evaluated as "start condition fulfilled" and the unit changes
over to "cycle" status. The LED tF extinguishes. During the switch-off procedure of the circuit
breaker the MRIK3-C waits for feedback from the C.B. This feedback must come within 0.2 s. If the
OFF-signal does not appear, however, before expiration of the tripping timer, it will be evaluated as
"start condition not fulfilled" and the unit changes to „inactive“ status. The LED CB flashes and the
Display shows „CB??“. Tripping timer: Time from the beginning of the trip command until receiving
of the C.B. check-back signal.
5.4.5 Unsuccessful reclosing
After the start condition has been fulfilled the unit changes to "starting" status. Now the dead time
tD is started. The corresponding LED flashes.
Unit MRIK3-C can be programmed for reclosing of one to four times. For each reclosing a dead
time has to be set (t
tions have been fulfilled, the reclosing command is given to the circuit breaker. The reclosing conditions are the responsibility of the synchronisation command if the function is configured via the digital inputs. The CB must be ready and in switched-off status. The reclosing command remains either as long as the ON-signal from the circuit breaker appears or the close-impuls-timer (t

lights up for the duration of the close impulse. When the CB-ON message occurs, the

In the last case a failure of the circuit breaker is subjected. With the beginning of the reclosing
command the reclaim timer is started. When a new “OFF-signal” of the circuit breaker appears
within the reclaim time and after the last permissible AR, an unsuccessful reclosing will be detected.
The LED 0I lights up red and the display shows „OPEN“. Then the unit quits the "cycle" status
and changes to the "inactive" status. Simultaneously a relay can be activated which indicates unsuccessful auto reclosing.

5.4.6 Successful reclosing
If there is no “OFF-signal” of the circuit breaker and no protection tripping within the reclaim time a
successful reclosing will be detected.
During the reclaim time the display shows „CLOS“ and the LED 0
←1 lights up green.
The unit now quits the "cycle" status, changes over into the "ready" status and is ready for the next
reclosing. The LED AR extinguishes and the CB LED lights up. The display shows MRIK3.
5.4.7 Repeated reclosing
Is the MRIK3-C programmed for more than single reclosing a further dead time is started after a
new “OFF-signal” from the circuit breaker has appeared. After expiration of this dead time a new
reclosing command follows.

Manual MRIK3-C EN Woodward
5.4.8 Supervision of the circuit breaker ready information
Because the supervising unit of the circuit breaker energy store operates often after the first fast
switch off, the signal "C.B. not AR-ready" is not evaluated anymore after an introduced reclosing.
The C.B. ready information is checked before an introduced AR for further ARs. There will be a reclosing when the "circuit breaker ready" had been given before the begin of the reclosing cycle. If
not, the LED CB flashes and the display shows „S/E?“.
5.4.9 External blocking
The AR-relay is blocked if the external AR-block input is activated. The LED 0I is alight.
When the reclosing shot is set to „EXIT“, the MRIK3 can also be blocked at site. (see chapter
6.12.4)

5.5 Earth fault protection
5.5.1 Generator stator earth fault protection
With the generator neutral point earthed as shown in Figure 5.5 the MRIK3-C picks up only to
phase earth faults between the generator and the location of the current transformers supplying the
relay.
Earth faults beyond the current transformers, i.e. on the consumer or line side, will not be detected.
With the generator neutral point earthed as shown in Figure 5.6, the MRIK3-C picks up only to
earth faults in the power system connected to the generator. It does not pick up to earth faults on
the generator terminals or in generator stator.
A built-in earth-fault directional element is available for applications to power networks with isolated
or with arc suppressing coil compensated neutral point.
For earth-fault direction detection it is mainly the question to evaluate the power flow direction in
zero sequence system. Both the residual voltage and neutral (residual) current on the protected
line are evaluated to ensure a correct direction decision.
In isolated or compensated systems, measurement of reactive or active power is decisive for earthfault detection. It is therefore necessary to set the ER/XR-relay type to measure according to sin
or cos methods, depending on the neutral-point connection method.
The residual voltage U
ferent ways, depending on the voltage transformer connections (refer to Table 5.2).
Total current can be measured by connecting the unit either to a ring core C.T. or to current transformers in a Holmgreen circuit. However, maximum sensitivity is achieved if the MRIK3-C protective device is connected to a ring core C. T. See Figure 4.4.

In compensated mains the earth fault direction cannot be determined from the reactive current
components because the reactive part of the earth current depends upon the compensation level of
the mains. The ohmic component of the total current (calculated by cos adjustment) is used in
order to determine the direction. The resistive component in the non-faulted line is in phase with
the residual voltage, while the resistive component in the faulted line is opposite in phase with the

fault, do not impair the protective function.

5.7 Control functions
5.7.1 Introduction
The controlling of the connected circuit breaker take place by the means of the output relays. The
CB position as well as the CB ready message are supervise by digital inputs.. The status of the CB
and the position are indicated by on LED on the front plate of the relay MRIK3-C. The local operation takes place by means of the push buttons on the front plate. Furthermore the position of the
CB are signalize to a SCADA system via the serial interface and Modbus RTU protocol.
5.7.2 Interlocking / Password for control mode
The local operation of the CB is protected via a separate password. The standard setting of this
password is four times minus (‘ - - - - ‘).The password can be changed as described in Chapter 4.4
of the of the description "MR – general" and via the jumper J2.
During local operation all remote operation via digital inputs or serial interface are blocked.
To change from local to remote or back are only possible from the front plate of the relay.
5.7.3 Operating assignment of C.B. control
In case of local operation, remote mode via the digital inputs or via the serial interface is no longer
possible.
Switching-over between local operation (LCAL on the display) and remote mode (RMOT on the
display) can only be done via the front plate.
Display shows “LCAL”
The digital input functions:
t0 = Ext. tripping immediately
t1 = Ext. tripping delayed
ON = Ext. start
t2 = Trip/restore function are blocked (see chapter 6.12.5)
Switching on and off via the serial interface are also blocked.
Display „RMOT“
Switching on and off function via the front panel is blocked.
5.7.4 Changing the operating assignment
Changing the operating assignment requires the following procedure:
Simultaneous operation of the keys <ENTER> and <+> will take you to the control mode. The display shows “LCAL” or “RMOT”. If the function is to be maintained, you can move to the next menu
item with the <SELECT/RESET> key. The function can be changed with either the <+> or the <->
key.
DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A 29
Page 30
Woodward Manual MRIK3-C EN
5.7.5 Saving the operating assignment
If the changed function is to be saved, the <ENTER> key must be operated. The display shows
“SAV?”. If the <ENTER> key is pressed again, you are asked for the password. The display shows
”PSW?”. Pressing the next four keys will enter the password. On the display the entry is accompanied by an “X” for every entered character. The standard password for the control functions is 4x <>. If the password has been entered correctly, the display will show “SAV”. Now the <ENTER> key
must be pressed again and kept depressed (3s) until the function to be set reappears in the display. If the entry is incorrect, the password is requested again. The display will show “PSW?” once
more. A detailed description of entering and changing the password is provided in the description
MR – digital multifunction relays in Chapter 4.4 and in this description in Chapter 3.2.
5.7.6 Remote switching on and off of the C.B.
If the operating assignment of the C.B. control was set to remote (RMOT), the C.B. control via the
front panel is blocked. By operating the <SELECT/RESET> key you will leave the operating assignment again. The display will show “MRIK”.
The digital input functions:
t0 = Ext. tripping immediately
t1 = Ext. tripping delayed
ON = Ext. start
t2 = Trip/restore Function are released.
Switching on and off via the serial interface are also released.
5.7.7 Switching on or off the C.B. via the front panel (LCAL)
After having selected the function (LCAL), pressing the <SELECT/RESET> key will take you to the
control mode. The display will now show the status of the circuit breaker C.B.
CB??
Position of the C.B. cannot be established as the information from the digital inputs is insufficient. At the same time the LED CB is flashing. At this stage it is important that a digital
input which has been activated for a C.B. control function must be used. (see chapter
6.12.4 and 6.12.5). A detailed function assignment for the control signals for the C.B. can
be found in Chapter 5.7.9.
ON??
The C.B. is switched off. The LED CB shows a green light. Press the <ENTER> key and
enter the password to have ON!! shown on the display.
ON!!
The C.B. can be switched on by pressing the <ENTER> key.
OFF?
The C.B. is switched on. The LED CB shows a red light. Press the <TRIP> key and enter
the password to have OFF! shown on the display.
OFF!
The C.B. can be switched off by pressing the <TRIP> key.
The graph of the procedure of operation assignment and the C.B. control function can be found in
the next Chapter 5.7.8.

5.8 Requirement on the Main Current Transformers
The CTs chosen have a considerable influence on the accuracy of the protective system. In order
to select the right type of transformer, the requirements and conditions on site have to be considered carefully.
Type of Transformer
Current transformers have to be designed as protection transformers (P).
Overcurrent Factor:
To ensure precise operation of the protection unit even under full short-circuit current, the chosen
transformers must not saturate in this current range. This means that the overload factor must be
sufficiently large.
Class
For the nominal range or the lower load range it has to be taken into account that not only the basic
accuracy of the MRIK3-C has to be considered but also the transformer accuracy. This applies especially for cases where the Holmgreen circuit is used and for low earth fault currents in isolated
networks.
Power Rating
The transformer must be rated sufficiently to cover all measuring instruments and protective devices connected as well as the losses on the transformer measuring line without becoming overloaded.

6.4 System parameters
6.4.1 Presentation of Measuring Values as Primary Quantities on
the Display (Iprim Phase)
This parameter makes it possible to present the indications of phase current and earth-fault current
separately, i.e. as primary or secondary measuring value. Currents in the kiloampere range are indicated with the symbol of unit of measurement k (kilo) as three-digit point.
Example:
A 1500/5 A CT is used with a primary current of 1380 A. The parameter for the CT primary current
is given in kilo Ampere.
The parameter is set to ”1.50“ (kA). Then ”1K38“ is displayed as I-measurement.
If the setting is set to ”sec.“, ”0.92“ x I
Note:
The settings for the pick-up value are adjusted to a multiple of the secondary rated CT current.
The settings for phase and earth current transformers can be done separately.
. is displayed as I-measurement.
N
6.4.2 Display of residual voltage UE as primary quantity (Uprim/Usec)
The residual voltage can be shown as primary measuring value. For this parameter the transformation ratio of the VT has to be set accordingly. If the parameter is set to "SEK", the measuring value
is shown as rated secondary voltage.
Example:
The voltage transformer used is of 10 kV/100 V. The transformation ratio is 100 and this value has
to be set accordingly. If still the rated secondary voltage should be shown, the parameter is to be
set to 1.
6.4.3 Voltage transformer connection for residual voltage measuring
(3pha/e-n/1:1)
Depending on the connection of the voltage transformer of ER/XR-relay types three possibilities of
the residual voltage measurement can be chosen (see 5.6).
6.4.4 Operation cycle counter
Each switch ON operation increases the counter. It is possible to set the operation cycle counter to
a start value.
40 DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A
Page 41
Manual MRIK3-C EN Woodward
6.4.5 I2*t Operation cycle counter
The relay MRIK3-C provide a measurement unit to determinate the switch off power of the circuit
breaker. They start from the point of set the trip output signal and end until the point of the phase
current is lower than <2% of the nominal current. The max. record time for each switch off operation is 2.54s. Each 20ms the value of all three phases is measured. (Measured and calculated in
accordance to the HARR algorithm which is used in all MR relay to determine the fundamental
wave.). The highest value of the three phase values is stored and added to the composite value.
The value of the switch off power can be preset in case of the use of a older CB with preceding
load. To indicate that the max. value of the switch off power is reached a alarm output can be set.
The indication take place be the means of a LED and / or output relay. The max. possible value is
655,35 kAs
6.4.6 Rated -Frequency
The FFT-Algorithm used for the data acquisition needs the set point of the rated frequency, i.e.
50 Hz or 60 Hz, for correct digital filtering of the earth current.
6.4.7 Indication of pickup
If the momentary current drops below the pickup threshold, e.g. I>, after the relay was activated
and there was no tripping, then the activation is signalled by short flashing of LED I>. The LED
keeps flashing until the <RESET> push-button is pressed. By setting the parameter to
FLSH/NOFL, flashing can be suppressed.
6.4.8 Parameter Set Changeover Switch (P2)
By means of this switch two different parameter sets can be activated. The changeover procedure
can be realised either by the software or via the digital input. If the parameter set changeover
switch is adjusted to ”SET2“, the active parameter set can be changed to ”SET1“ via the external
input. If the changeover switch is set to ”SET1“, then it can be changed to ”SET2“ via the digital input.
The digital input does not change this parameter. The LED P2 on the front cover always indicates
which of the parameter sets is active.

6.5 Protection Parameters
6.5.1 Pickup current for phase Overcurrent element
The setting value for this parameter that appears on the display is related to the nominal current
(I
) of the relay. This means: pickup current (Is) = displayed value x nominal current (IN) e.g. dis-
N
played value = 1.25 then, Is = 1.25 x I
6.5.2 Trip Characteristics for the Phase Overcurrent Element (I>)
There are the following standard trip time characteristics available:
DEFT - Definite Time (definite time overcurrent protection)
NINV - Normal inverse
VINV - Very inverse
EINV - Extremely inverse
RINV - RI-Inverse
LINV - Long term Inverse
.
N
6.5.3 Tripping Time or Time Factor for the Phase Overcurrent Element
Normally, after change of the trip characteristics, the tripping time or the time factor also has to be
changed accordingly. In order to avoid an unsuitable combination between trip characteristics and
tripping time or time factor, the following measures are initiated by the MRIK3-C:
The LED for adjustment of the tripping time or time factor starts to flash after the trip characteristics
have changed. By this warning signal the operator is reminded to adjust the tripping time or time
factor to the changed operational mode or trip time characteristics. This warning signal keeps flashing until the tripping time or time factor are re-adjusted. If re-adjustment has not been done within 5
minutes (the time to enable parameter setting), then the processor sets the tripping time or time
factor to the highest sensible value (smallest possible tripping time
When adjusting to the “Definite Time” trip characteristic, the definite tripping time displayed is
shown as seconds (e.g. 0.35 = 0.35s). By pressing push-buttons <+><-> this time can be changed
step by step in the range 0.04s – 300s
When adjusting to the “Inverse Time” trip characteristics, the time factor (tI>) is displayed. This factor can be changed also by push buttons <+><-> step by step in the range 0.05 – 20.0.
If the tripping time or time factor is set to infinite long (on the display “EXIT” is shown) then trip of
the relay overcurrent element is blocked. The WARNING/ ALARM function is still active. During this
time LEDs I> and t> are red.

6.5.4 Fast/Time tripping by switch ON of the CB for the
overcurrent element
After switch ON the CB a pick up of the I> element happens directly within 200ms, it is possible to
switch OFF without time delay when this parameter is already set.
Figure 6.2
6.5.5 Reset Mode for the Trip Characteristics in Phase Current Path
In order to ensure that the trip function is reliable even with repeated error pulses, each of them
shorter than the set tripping time, the RESET mode for the trip characteristics can be changed
over. With a setting of “60s“ the elapsed tripping time is frozen and is only reset after 60s faultless
operation. Should another fault occur within these 60s, the tripping time counter remains in operation. With the setting “_ 0s“ the counter is immediately reset when the fault current is interrupted
and it is restarted when the fault current has returned again.
6.5.6 Current setting for high set element
The current setting value of this parameter appearing on the display is related to the rated current
of the relay.
This means: I>> = displayed value x I
.
N
When the current setting for high set element is set out of range (on display appears "EXIT"), the

6.5.7 Trip-Block for all protection elements
If the measured current exceeds the setting value the assigned trip relay for all protection function
doesn’t energized. A power contactor is not able to switch electrical current (energy) which is higher than the adjusted value. The setting EXIT disable this function. The current setting value of this
parameter appearing on the display is related to the rated current of the relay.
This means: I>>+CB = displayed value x I

6.6 AR Parameter
6.6.1 Number of AR shots
Indicates how often the circuit breaker may switch on again when a fault occurs.
6.6.2 Fault time (tF)
Reclosing is permitted during this time. It starts with the energizing of the corresponding protection
devices. A reclosing attempt follows only if the command time of the protection devices is shorter
than the fault time set at MRIK3-C.
6.6.3 Dead time (tD)
Starts with the OFF-signal of the circuit breaker. No closing command to the circuit breaker is given
till expiration of the set dead time.
DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A 45
Page 46
Woodward Manual MRIK3-C EN
6.6.4 Close impulse time (tCI)
During close impulse time t
the NO C.B. contact of MRIK3-C is closed. It starts with expiration of
CI
the dead time and is interrupted earlier when the ON-signal of the circuit breaker is already present
before expiration of the time.
6.6.5 Reclaim time (tR)
This is the time during which - after switching on (also manually) or after AR - a subsequent reclosing is prevented. If the number of the set shots is reached, the MRIK3-C is blocked for this time after the last reclosing attempt.
The reclaim time is started with the automatic closing command or by switching on manually. An
OFF-command which occurs after the last permissible AR leads to a final switching-off.
6.6.6 Fault time activation
This parameter can be used to fix whether the supervision of the fault time is active for the first tripping action or for all tripping actions (see 6.6.2)

6.7 Control functions
6.7.1 Block/Trip-time
The block/trip serves for recognising a CB failure protection by rear interlocking. Setting of the
blocking input will activate the blocking function and block the configured protection functions. (refer to chapter 5.11.1) If the block/trip time is not set to EXIT but to an adjustable time (0.1 – 2.00s),
the blocking function is cancelled again after this time has expired. If trip blocking was set to protection blocking PR_B, protection excitation with subsequent tripping will take place after expiration
of the set time when blocking is cancelled on expiration of the block/trip time. If blocking is set to
trip blocking TR_B, there will be immediate tripping after blocking has been cancelled following expiration of the block/trip time if the set time of the responding protection step has already expired.

6.7.2 Time delay for ext. Trip
Via a digital input a external trip with settable time is settable. The trip take place by the means of o
high voltage level at the input for the set time. It is possible to assign this in out function to the output relay. Also it can assign to the alarm relay.
6.7.3 Dead time for Trip/Restore
This function fulfils the requirements for a manual switch ON operation. When a high level at the
assigned digital input take place, the relay trips immediately. When the digital input is reset to low
level a counter starts and after the selectable delay time (0,1s – 300s) the relay switch ON the CB.

6.7.4 CB failure protection
The CB failure protection is based on supervision of phase currents during tripping events. Only after tripping this protective function becomes active. The test criterion is whether all phase currents
are dropped to <1% x I
0.1 - 2.0 s). If not all of the phase currents have dropped to <1%xI

.
6.7.5 Release of the pickup relay for CB failure protection
This function is working similar to the Block / Trip function. In the case of a fault the function is activated. The pickup is indicated via a alarm relay to the upstream CB protection unit. At the upstream
CB protection unit the blocking input is activated. During the clearing of the fault a CB failure take
place, the alarm relay switch off after the settable CB failure time (Chap 6.7.4) and clear the block
input of the upstream protection unit and activated the tripping.

The existing store can be utilised in two ways:
Not to be overwritten
Previous recordings will not be overwritten. When there is no memory space left, further recordings
are not possible.
Overwrite
The latest fault incidents can always be called up; the eldest recording is overwritten by a new one.
Parameter Mode Time per record (s)

The storage zone of the fault recorder is designed as ring buffer. In the example shown below storage of 7 fault recordings are possible (overwriting). The 8
th
segment serves as buffer store.
Memory space 6 to 4 is used.
Memory space 5 is needed for temporary storage of ongoing signals.
Figure 6.6: Partitioning of the store into 8 segments, for instance
This example shows that the store was used for more than 8 recordings because store spaces 6, 7
and 8 are used. From this it follows that no. 6 was the eldest recording and no. 4 the latest one.

Figure 6.7: General Set-Up of the Fault Recorder
Each of the storage segments have a fixed storage time where the time before the trigger event
can be defined.
Via the RS485 interface the data can be read out by means of a PC provided with HTL/PL-Soft4.
The data is graphically edited and represented. Binary tracks are recorded additionally, e.g. activation and trip.
6.10.2 Number of fault recordings
The max. recording time is 16 s at 50 Hz or 13.33 s at 60 Hz.
The max. number of recordings to be stored has to be defined beforehand. There is the choice between (1)* 2, (3)* 4 and (7)* 8 recordings. Hence the existing memory space can be used as follows:
(1)* 2 recordings for 8 s at 50 Hz and 6.66 s at 60 Hz.
(3)* 4 recordings for 4 s at 50 Hz and 3.33 s at 60 Hz.
(7)* 8 recordings for 2 s at 50 Hz and 1.66 s at 60 Hz.
* will be overwritten when a new trigger signal occurs.
6.10.3 Adjustment of the Trigger Event
There is the choice between four different trigger events:
P_UP (PickUP) Data saving begins when a general activation is recognised.
TRIP Data saving begins when a general trip is recognised.
A_PI (After Pickup) Data saving begins when the last activation threshold is undershot
(recognises, for instance, CB failure protection)
TEST Data saving is activated when push-buttons <+> and <-> are pressed
simultaneously (immediately upon pressing the buttons). For recording
time, the mode TEST is displayed.

6.11 Setting of the clock
When date and time are set, the LED „“ is on. The following method is used:
Date: year Y=00
month M=00
day D=00
time: hour h=00
minute m=00
second s=00
Immediately when the supply voltage is applied the clock starts with the respective date and time.
The time is buffered against short-term voltage failures (min. 6 minutes).
Note:
The window for setting the clock is behind the measuring value reading. Access to the window is
given via push-button <SELECT/RESET>.
6.12 Additional functions
6.12.1 Blocking the protection functions
Blocking of the protective functions:
The MRIK3-C is equipped with a blocking function that can be parameterized arbitrary. Connecting
supply voltage to terminals at a assigned digital blocking of those functions which were selected by
the user takes place.
It is possible to choose between two types of protective blocking:
1) Blocking of the individual protection stages. The excitation of the blocked protection stage is
blocked..
2) Blocking of the individual tripping stages. The individual protection stages are excited and the
set tripping time expires. Tripping only takes place when:
a) the voltage at the blocking input is reduced;
b) the voltage at the blocking input is applied, the tripping time and the blocking time have ex-
pired. (refer to chapter 6.7.1)
Parameter setting is to be carried out as follows:
After the <ENTER> and <TRIP> keys have been actuated simultaneously, the display
shows the text "PR_B" (the protection stages are blocked) or "TR_B" (the tripping stages
are blocked).
The settings can be changed by actuating the keys <+> or <->. In this procedure, the LEDs
I>; I>>; IE>; IE>> are simultaneously alight in case of protective blocking "PR_B" and LEDs
tI>; tI>>; tIE>, tIE>> simultaneously emit light in case of trip blocking "TR_B".
Actuation of the <ENTER> key with a one-time entry of the password will store the set
function.
After this actuate the <SELECT/RESET> key to call up the first blockable protection func-
tion.
The display will show the text "BLOC" (the respective function is blocked) or "NO_B" (the
respective function is not blocked.
Actuation of the <ENTER> key will store the set function.
By pressing the <SELECT/RESET> pushbutton, all further protective function that can be
blocked are called one after the other.
After selection of the last blocking function renewed pressing of the <SELECT/RESET> pushbutton
switches to the assignment mode of the output relays.

6.12.2 Assignment of the output relays
Unit MRI3 has five output relays. The fifth output relay is provided as permanent alarm relay for self
supervision is normally on. Output relays 1 - 4 are normally off and can be assigned as alarm or
tripping relays to the current functions which can either be done by using the push buttons on the
front plate or via serial interface RS485. The assignment of the output relays is similar to the setting
of parameters, however, only in the assignment mode. The assignment mode can be reached only
via the blocking mode.
By pressing push button <SELECT/RESET> in blocking mode again, the assignment mode is selected.
The relays are assigned as follows: LEDs I>, I>>, I
when the output relays are assigned as alarm relays and red as tripping relays. In case of the
MRIK3-C models the LEDs I>; I>>; I
> and IE>> always light up in conjunction with t>.
E
In addition, the LED also lights up with each adjustment. Green means forward and red backward direction.
Definition:
Alarm relays are activated at pickup.
Tripping relays are only activated after elapse of the tripping delay.
The adjustment procedure is as follows:
Allocation of one or more of the 4 output relays
to “Alarm” or “Trip” of each of the protective functions. Which of the function is just being processed
is signalled by the LEDs. (see Table 6.4 and Table 6.5)
By pressing push-buttons <+> and <-> all possible combinations can be realised. The selected allocation can be saved by <ENTER> and subsequent entry of the password.

Any allocation mode can be stopped by pressing the <SELECT/RESET> button for a certain time
(about 3s).
Note:
Coding plugs J3, described in the general description „MR- Digital Multifunctional Relay“ have
only one function in the MRIK3-C.

6.12.4 Function assignment of the digital inputs
After the setting of the AR parameter you enter the allocation of the input function to the 7 digital.
With the push-buttons <+> and <->it is possible to assign to each digital input one available logical
input function. During the setting procedure the LED “DI” lights. The display shows the number of
the DI and the assigned logical function in a short from. „1=RE“. This means that the DI No. 1 is
assigned to the function reset. The following functions are available:
NO = No function
RE = Reset (Display and Relay)
BL = Protection block / trip block
P2 = Change parameter set
FR = Ext. Trigger of the disturbance recorder
t0 = Ext. Trip immediately
t1 = Ext. Trip with time delay
ON = Ext. switch ON
t2 = Trip/Restore
CI = CB position supervision CB-ON
CO = CB position supervision CB-OFF
CR = CB ready supervision / CB spring is charged
AB = AWE block
SY = Synchrocheck (only AR relay)
The allocation of the functions can be the same for different digital inputs.
6.12.5 Description of the digital input function
RE = Reset (Display and relay)
With this function the relay and the display indication are reset to normal mode. The relay shows
MRIK. Are output relays set to bistabil mode the also reset.
BL = Protection block / Trip block
All active protection function are blocked during pick up conditions.
P2 = Change parameter set
When the input is activated the relay change the active parameter set from Set1 to Set 2.
FR = Ext. Trigger for the disturbance recorder
If this function is allowed it starts the disturbance recorder from a external source. During recording
the LED FR lights. If a fault record is being written, the LED FR will be alight.
t0 = Ext. Trip immediately.
This function activates directly the trip relay to switch OFF the CB. Also the alarm relay can be activated. The relays are active as long as the input is active.
t1 = Ext. Trip with time delay.
If this function activated it start a timer with a free setable delay time. After the timer elapsed the
output relay for trip will activated. Also the alarm relay can work in the same way. The relays are
active as long as the input is active.
ON = Ext. Switch ON
When this input is activated. The output relay to switch ON of the CB is activated immediately. The
output relay is activated until the relay indicates via digital input CI that the CB is ON.
t2 = Trip/Restore
This function fulfils the requirements for a manual switch ON operation. When a high level at the
assigned digital input takes place, the relay trips immediately. When the digital input is reset to low
level a counter starts and after the settable delay time (0,1s – 300s) the relay switches ON the CB

CI = CP position indication. - CB ON
With this function the position of the CB is indicated bay by the relay. Input activated = 1 = CB ON
CO = CB position indication CB OFF
With this function the position of the CB is indicated bay by the relay. Input activated = 1 = CB OFF
Remark:
When both function are assign to a digital input, the position of the CB are indicated only when die
CB position is absolute clear. ( Exp. CI = 1 and CO = = or CI = 0 and CO ) All other indication are
wrong and a error message is shown (CB??) and the LED CB flashed)
CR = CB ready supervision / CB spring is charged
This function check the spring of the CB. When the spring is charged the input is activated
(CR = 1).
When one of the position function are use this function must use also otherwise a incorrect indication is possible and a malfunction during a AR sequence take place.
AB = AWE block
This function block the AR sequence at each time.
SY = Synchro Check
With this indication function the dead times tD of the AR function extended. If this function active,
the relay waiting for 150ms for the Synchro check ready message after the dead time elapsed.
When after this time the Synchro Check input is not active, the MRIK3-C interrupt the AR sequence. The display show “S/E?”. If the Synchro Check activated within this time the CB ON signal
is activate immediate.

All faults detected by the relay are indicated on the front plate optically. For this purpose, the four
LEDs (L1, L2, L3, E) and the four function LEDs (I>, I>>, IE>, IE>> and ) are equipped at
MRI3. Not only fault messages are transmitted, the display also indicates the tripped protection
function. If, for example an overcurrent occurs, first the corresponding LEDs will light up. LED I>
lights up at the same time. After tripping the LEDs are lit permanently.

6.13.4 Fault Memory
In case of actuation or tripping of the relay, the fault values and times are stored in a voltage failsafe way. The MRIK3-C has a fault value memory covering up to 25 fault events. If this number is
exceeded, the eldest data set is then overwritten.
Besides the tripping values, the LED states are also saved for fault indication.
Inquiry of the fault memory
When the <-> push-button is pressed during normal measuring value indication, the fault data is
displayed.
FLT1 last fault
FLT2 fault before last
etc.
By pressing <+> the respective fault can be selected.
During fault value indication FLT
it can be changed over to another fault data set by pressing <+> or <->
it is displayed, which of the parameter sets was active during the event
the LEDs are flashing according to the stored pick-up values/trip information, i.e. LEDs showing
a permanent light when the trip occured, start to flash in order to indicate that is was a past fault
condition. Those LEDs, which were flashing when the trip occured, (element was actuated) are
flashing briefly
the individual fault measuring values for the respective fault can be inquired by pressing
<SELECT/RESET>
If the relay has not been reset after tripping (TRIP is displayed), measuring values cannot be indicated.
The fault memory can be cleared by pressing the button combination <SELECT/RESET> and <->

7. Notes on Relay Tests and Commissioning
7.1 Connection of the auxiliary voltage
To prevent destruction of the relay during tests the following has to be observed:
The aux. voltage supply of the relay must be within the permissible ranges.
The test current must not exceed the thermal rating of the measuring circuits.
The CTs must be connected properly.
All control and measuring circuits as well as the output relays must be connected properly.
The voltage ranges of the digital inputs must be adjusted correctly.
For further information please see Technical Data

The relay test is not a pure internal test. All the output relays will be energized! The self-supervision
relayreleases first. Hereby a relay fault could be adopted by a connected control gear.
Thereafter all other existing output relays will pick up one after another. The reaction in the relevant
switchboard could be accordingly (e.g. trip of a priority CB).

7.4 Example of test circuit for MRIK3-C relays without
directional feature
For testing MRIK3-C relays without directional feature, only current input signals are required. Figure 7.1 shows a simple example of a single phase test circuit with adjustable current energizing the
MRIK3-C relay under test.
Figure 7.1: Test circuit
7.4.1 Checking the input circuits and measured values
Inject a current, which is less than the relay pickup current set values, in phase 1 (terminals B3B4), and check the measured current on the display by pressing the push button <SELECT>. For a
relay with rated current In = 5A, for example, a secondary current injection of 1A should be indicated on the display with about 0.2 (0.2 x In). When parameter Iprim = „SEK“ is set, the indication
is 0.2 x In and at „5“ the indication is 1.00 [A]. The current can be also injected into the other current input circuits (Phase 2: terminals B5-B6, Phase 3: terminals B7-B8. Compare the displayed
current value with the reading of the ammeter. The deviation must not exceed 3% or 1% In. By using an RMS-metering instrument, a greater deviation may be observed if the test current contains
harmonics. Because the MRIK3-C relay measures only the fundamental component of the input
signals, the harmonics will be rejected by the internal DFFT-digital filter. Whereas the RMSmetering instrument measures the RMS-value of the input signals.

Manual MRIK3-C EN Woodward
7.4.2 Checking the operating and resetting values of the relay
Inject a current which is less than the relay set values in phase 1 of the relay and gradually increase the current until the relay starts, i.e. at the moment when the LED I> and L1 light up or the
alarm output relay I> is activated. Read the operating current indicated by the ammeter. The deviation must not exceed 3% of the set operating value or 1% In.
Furthermore, gradually decrease the current until the relay resets, i.e. the alarm output relay I> is
disengaged. Check that the resetting current is smaller than 0.97 times the operating current.
Repeat the test on phase 2, phase 3 and earth current input circuits in the same manner.(Accuracy
of earth current measuring 3% of measuring value.
7.4.3 Checking the relay operating time
"For this test the AR function should be deactivated. The number of automatic reclosing attempts
"SHOT" should be set to "EXIT".
To check the relay operating time, a timer must be connected to the trip output relay contact. The
timer should be started simultaneously with the current injection in the current input circuit and
stopped by the trip relay contact. Set the current to a value corresponding to twice the operating
value and inject the current instantaneously. The operating time measured by the timer should
have a deviation of less than 3% of the set value or 10 ms (DEFT). Accuracy for inverse time
characteristics refer to IEC 255-3.
Repeat the test on the other phases or with the inverse time characteristics in the similar manner.
In case of inverse time characteristics the injected current should be selected according to the
characteristic curve, e.g. two times I
diagram or calculated with the equations given under "technical data".
Please observe that during the secondary injection test the test current must be very stable, not
deviating more than 1%. Otherwise the test results may be wrong.
. The tripping time may be red from the characteristic curve
S
7.4.4 Checking the high set element of the relay
Set a current above the set operating value of I>>. If required an alarm relay can be tripped if in this
moment if it is assigned to this function. Check the tripping time of the high set element according
to chapter 7.4.3.
Check the accuracy of the operating current setting by gradually increasing the injected current until the I>> element picks up. Read the current value from the ammeter and compare it with the desired setting.
Repeat the entire test on other phases and earth current input circuits in the same manner.
Note !
Where test currents >4 x I

7.4.5 Test circuit for MRIK3 relay with earth-current directional
recognition (ER/XR models)
Figure 7.2: Test circuit
For testing relays MRIK3-ICER/XR with earth fault directional feature, current and voltage input
signals with adjustable phase shifting are required. Figure 7.2 shows an example of a single phase
test circuit with adjustable voltage and current energizing the MRIK3 relay under test.
For testing a relay with earth fault directional feature, one of the input energizing quantity (voltage)
shall be applied to the relay with a constant value within its effective range. The other input energizing quantity (current) and phase angle shall be appropriately varied.
With the aid of phase angle indicated on the display the correct function of the relay MRIK3ICER/XR can be checked (ER-relay type).

7.4.6 Checking the auto reclosing function
The auto reclosing function can only be tested by means of an auxiliary relay simulating the C.B.
and a push button for manual start. In order to simplify testing, the significant settings of the devices and the value of the test current are provided as follows:
I> = 0,8 x I
I> +CHAR = DEFT
tI> = 2 s
I>> = 1,2 x I
tI>> = 0,5 s
SHOT = 1
tF = 1,5
tD1 = 5 s
tD2 = 10 s
tCI = 0,2 s
tR = 10 s
tF + I>,I>>(IE>,IE>>) = 1ST
CB (tCBFP) = 2 s (EXIT)
f
= 50 Hz or 60 Hz
N
Relay assignment:
refer to default settings
AR-assignment:
I> = YES
I>> = YES
The test circuit must be set up in accordance with Figure 7.1. First the push button is pressed. The
auxiliary relay picks up and the LED CB lights up. With the settings of the devices as shown above,
a test current of 1.5 x I
should be injected on phase L1. When the pickup value is exceeded, trip-
N
ping takes place at once and the LEDs I>> and L1 light up red.
The auxiliary relay releases again. The device changes into the "Starting" status. Now the dead
time is running and the LED tD1 lights up green. After expiration of the dead time the LED tCI
briefly lights up and the auxiliary relay trips again.
The display shows "CLOS". The LED tR lights up red. The LED tR signals that the reclaim time is
running. Once it has expired, all LEDs extinguish except for the LED CB, and the display shows
"MRIK" again. This completes a successful AR simulation.
Note:
After the relay has tripped, the test current should be switched off as quickly as possible. Otherwise, there is the danger that the switch failure protection device CBFP picks up. If switching off
quickly is impossible, tCBFP must be set to "EXIT".
N

7.4.7 Checking the circuit breaker position
First the digital inputs have to be assigned the relevant functions. In order to recognised the circuit
breaker position, at least the CB position ON or the CB position OFF must be configured. The correct display of the CB LED can be found in chapter 5.7.10.
Behaviour with AR function
If the circuit breaker is set to position ON, the LED tR will light up for the duration of the set blocking time and the display shows "MANU". The CB LED shows a red light.
Behaviour without AR function
If the circuit breaker is set to position ON, the light of the CB LED will be red.
DOK-TD-MRIK3-C Rev. A 69
Page 70
Woodward Manual MRIK3-C EN
7.4.8 Checking the AR blocking function
First it must be ensured that the function is assigned to a digital input. If the digital input is activated, the 0I will light up red.
7.4.9 Checking the external blocking and reset functions
By means of the external blocking input, it is possible to block all protective functions. To give an
example, the blocking function of the phase current high set element is described.
This can be tested by first setting the parameter for the phase current high set element to „BLOC“
and then connecting the auxiliary voltage to to the digital input reserved for this purpose.
The phase current low set element I> should be set to EXIT for this test. Inject a test current which
could cause a high set (I>>) tripping. Observe that there is no trip of any assigned output relay of
the high set or low set element.
Remove the auxiliary supply voltage from the blocking input. Inject a test current to trip the relay
(message „TRIP“ on the display). Interrupt the test current and apply auxiliary supply voltage to the
external reset input of the relay (terminals C8/D8). The display and LED indications should be reset
immediately.
7.4.10 Testing the external blocking with Block/Trip function
In order to simplify things, the short-circuit stage is to be tested here as described in Chapter 7.4.9.
For this purpose, the parameter for the Block/Trip function must be set to "TR_B" (first value in the
blocking menu of the protection functions Chapter 6.12.1. The appertaining Block/Trip time should
be longer than the set tripping time tI>>. Here, too, a current is impressed which should make the
short-circuit stage trip. At the same time the blocking input must be activated. The easiest way to
do this is to set the alarm relay to the blocking input. After the Block/Trip time has expired, tripping
will take place. Tripping takes place when:
the blocking input has been set
a tripping stage has been excited
the appertaining tripping time has expired
the Block/trip time has expired
If the Block/Trip time is set shorter than the tripping time, tripping will only take place after the tripping time has expired.

Manual MRIK3-C EN Woodward
7.4.11 Test of the CB failure protection
For testing the tripping time a test current of about two times the rated current to be injected. The
timer is started upon tripping of the relay of a protection function (I>, I>>, I
as soon as the relay for the CB failure protection has picked up. Message "CBFP" is displayed. The
tripping time ascertained by the timer should not deviate more than 1% or, at short trip delay, less
than 10 ms from the set tripping time.
Alternatively, the timer can be started when the aux. voltage and the test current are injected simultaneously. The timer stops when the corresponding output relay for circuit breaker failure protection
trips.
In this case the previously measured tripping delay has to be subtracted from the total tripping time
measured.
> or IE>>) and stopped
E
7.5 Primary Test
As a rule, tests with currents at the CT primary side (real test) can be performed in the same way
as tests with secondary currents. It is recommended to carry out primary tests only as an exception
and only if it is absolutely necessary (for very essential protective facilities) because in some cases
the costs involved and the strain on the system can be rather high. Many functions of the MRIK3-C
can be checked during normal operation of the system due to the efficient fault and measuring
value indications. So it is possible, for example, to compare the currents shown on the display with
the values shown on the ammeters in the switchboard.
7.6 Maintenance
Normally the relays are checked at regular maintenance intervals at site. From user to user these
intervals may vary because among other things they depend on the type of relay, the kind of application, significance of the object to be protected, previous experience of the user etc.
For electro-mechanical or static relays normally an annual check is required. For the MRIK3-C the
maintenance intervals can be much longer because:
The MRIK3-C relays are provided with wide-ranging self-test functions and consequently relay
faults are detected and indicated. It is, of course, imperative that the internal self-supervision
relay is connected to a central display board.
The combined measuring functions of the MRIK3-C make monitoring during operation possible.
The trip test function (TRIP-Test) allows testing of the output relays.
Therefore a maintenance interval of two years is sufficient. When servicing all relay functions incl.
setting values, trip characteristics and tripping times ought to be thoroughly checked.
