must be properly made and in compliance with the operational ambient conditions stated by the
Manufacturer.

1.3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION,

must be made strictly according to the wiring diagram supplied with the Product, to its electrical
characteristics and in compliance with the applicable standards particularly with reference to human
safety.

1.4 - MEASURING INPUTS AND POWER SUPPLY,

carefully check that the value of input quantities and power supply voltage are proper and within the
permissible variation limits.

1.5 - OUTPUTS LOADING,

must be compatible with their declared performance.

1.6 - PROTECTION EARTHING

When earthing is required, carefully check its effectiveness.

1.7 - SETTING AND CALIBRATION

Carefully check the proper setting of the different functions according to the configuration of the
protected system, the safety regulations and the co-ordination with other equipment.

1.8 - SAFETY PROTECTION

Carefully check that all safety means are correctly mounted, apply proper seals where required and
periodically check their integrity.

1.9 - HANDLING

Notwithstanding the highest practicable protection means used in designing M.S. electronic circuits,
the electronic components and semiconductor devices mounted on the modules can be seriously
damaged by electrostatic voltage discharge which can be experienced when handling the modules.
The damage caused by electrostatic discharge may not be immediately apparent but the design
reliability and the long life of the product will have been reduced. The electronic circuits reduced by
M.S. are completely safe from electrostatic discharge (8 KV IEC 255.22.2) when housed in their
case; withdrawing the modules without proper cautions expose them to the risk of damage.

a. Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential
as the equipment by touching the case.

b. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board.
Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit tracks or connectors.

c. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are both at
the same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.

d. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at

the same potential as yourself.

e. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.

More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found
in BS5783 and IEC 147-OF.

2.2.2 – Input quantities

2.2.2.1 – Mains Frequency
The relay can operate either in 50Hz or 60Hz systems.
The rated Mains Frequency “ Fn “ must be set accordingly.
2.2.2.2 – Phase Current inputs
The relay directly displays the r.m.s. value of the Phase Currents “ IA “, “ IB ”, “ IC ” flowing in the
Primary of the input Current Transformers and refers all its measurements to that value.
To make the relay properly working with any C.T., when programming the relay settings we have
to input the value of the Rated Primary Current “ In “ of the phase C.Ts.

For the Phase Current inputs, 1A or 5A configuration can be selected by moving the jumpers J1
and J2 provided on the C.T. input card (See § 18).
Example :
 Phase CTs 1500/5A and Core Balance CT 100/1A
 Set In = 1500A and On = 100A
 Configure CT input card with jumpers J1, J2 in the 5A position.

Only phase A and C currents are measured, whereas the current of the phase B is computed as
vector summation of the currents of the other two phases.
The algorithm is based on the following considerations coming from well-known vector relations
among the three-phase currents and the zero sequence current.
- In any circumstance – currents balanced or not, sinusoidal or not – it is always true that:
1 IA  IB  IC  I0  0
- When no Earth Fault exists (I0 = 0)
2 IA  IB  IC  0  IB  IA  IC 
The earth fault protection element is independently supplied by the residual current coming either
from the residual connection of the 3 system C.Ts. or from the core balance C.T.
If any Earth Fault is experienced (I0  0) the Earth Fault Protection Element trips independently
from the phase current measuring elements.

MM30-D Rev. 4
Date 24.02.2003

If no Earth Fault is present (I0 = 0), the equation (2) is valid, no matter if currents are balanced or
not, sinusoidal or not.
The third phase current is calculated, in real time, as vector summation of the other two-phase
currents.

Similarly, the Positive Sequence Current Component “ Id “ and Negative Sequence component
“ Is “, with no Earth Fault, are computed according to the normal equations of the system
symmetrical components, using two currents only:

I A  Id  Is  

In case of Earth Fault the Earth Fault Element trips before tripping of the unbalance element.
- During Faults
A) Single phase to earth Fault
Trip of the earth fault element directly measuring the Residual Current.
B) Two Phase Fault
In any case one of the currents directly measured is involved, so the relay trips correctly.
C) Two Phase to Earth Fault
Same as A + B
D) Three Phase Fault
All the three currents are correctly measured (in any case two directly).
2.2.2.3 – Earth Fault Current and Voltage Inputs
The real-time measurement of the r.m.s. Earth Fault Current is displayed as percent of the rated
current of the Zero sequence Current measuring C.T. (Io= xxxx %On).
The input of the E/F element can be supplied by the residual connection of 3 phase CTS or by a
dedicated Core Balance CT.
The value of the rated secondary current of the CTS can be 1A or 5A. The configuration is made
by the movable jumpers J4 provided on the CT input card (see § 18)

The Earth Fault element can operate as a normal Zero Sequence O/C element or as a Directional
Zero Sequence O/C element.
In this case to discriminate the direction the relays uses as polarizing quantity the Zero Sequence
Residual voltage supplied by the Open-Delta windings of the system P.Ts.
The display directly gives the measurement “ Uo “ of the Secondary Zero sequence voltage and
the measurement “ o ” of the phase displacement of the Zero Sequence Current Fasor from the
Zero Sequence Voltage Fasor.

2.2.3 – Functions and Settings

2.2.3.1 – F49 – Thermal Image (See curves § 19)

The current “ I “ producing motor warming-up is computed as a conventional composition of

Positive Sequence “ Id “ and Negative Sequence “ Is “ components of the motor current.

- Computed current: I  Id2  3Is2

- Allowed overloading time (See Curve § 19)

The trip time delay “ t “ of the thermal element, depends on the warming-up time constant
“ tm “ of the motor, on the previous thermal status (Ip), on the admissible continuous overload
(Ib) and, of course, on the actual load (I)

 (I/Im) 2  (Ip/Im)2 
t  tm In  2
 (I/Im)  (Ib/Im) 
2

tm = (1-60)min.
I = computed current
Ip = preheating current
Ib = continuously admissible current (1-1.3)Im, step 0.01Im
Im = motor rated current (0.1-1.5)In, step 0.1In

- Steady motor cooling-down time constant: to = (1-10)tm, step 1tm

The cooling-down time constant of the motor when running is “tm”; it is automatically changed
to " to " when the motor current drops below 0.1 lm (running/steady motor discrimination
level).

- Thermal prealarm : Ta/n = (50-110)%Tn, step 1%Tn

An alarm signal is issued when the simulated warming exceeds the set percentage of the
motor rated temperature Tn.
Automatic 1% drop out percentage.

- Restart inhibition: Ts/n = (40-100)%Tn, step 1%Tn

To inhibit a new motor starting before cooling down to 99% Ts/n, reset after tripping of the
thermal element takes places when T< 0.99[Ts].

2.2.3.2 – F51LR – Locked Rotor Protection (Rotor jam)

At motor starting this function is disabled for the set time “ 2tSt “ : when this time has elapsed, if
current exceeds the set level “ ILR ”, the relay trips with a delay of “ tLR ” sec.

- Current level :

ILR = (1-5)Im, step 0.1Im. lf ILR = DIS. the function is disactivated.

- Trip Time delay :

tLR = (1-25)s, step 1s

- Inhibition time of the locked rotor function:

2tSt
tSt = (1-120)s, step 1s = motor start-up time

2.2.3.2 - F46 - Current Unbalance (Negative Sequence Current) protection (See curve § 20)

Besides its contribution to the thermal image algorithm, current unbalance also controls another
inverse time element

-Minimum Negative Sequence current operation level

Is> = (0.1-0.8)Im, step 0.1lm. lf ls> = DIS. the function is disactivated.

- Time current curve

tIs> = (1-8)s, step 1s

0.9
Actual trip time delay is given by: t tIs  (tIs  trip time at Is  Im)
Is/Im  0.1
“ Is ” is the actual Negative Sequence Current

2.2.3.4 – F47 – Single Phasing

When the relay detects the loss of the current of one phase while the currents of the other two
phases are present, the Single Phasing element “ 1 “ is tripped with a fixed 3 sec. time delay.

2.2.3.5 - F37 - No-Load Running protection

This function performs the protection against no-load running: it is activated by motor under
current.

- Under current level

I< = (0.15-1)Im, step 0,01Im. lf I< = DIS. the function is disactivated.

When current is below 0.1lm in all phases the function is activated.

- Trip time delay = 3 sec.

2.2.3.6 - F51 - Overcurrent protection

- Minimum Pick-up Current level in at least one phase :

I> = (1-5)Ist, step 0.1 Ist (limited to 20 times In)

Ist (motor locked rotor current) = (0.5-10)Im, step 0.1Im
lf I> = DIS. the function is disactivated

- Trip time delay

tI> = (0.05-1)s, step 0,01s.

Any of the output relays can be associated to the time delayed element “tI>” as well as to the
instantaneous element “I>” of this function for signalling or for blocking other relays. The
output relay controlled by the I> level remains energized for the time tI> + tBO.
After this delay the relay it is anyhow reset.

tBO = (0.05-0.5)s, step 0.05s.

2.2.3.7 - F64 - Earth Fault protection

- Minimum Pick-up Zero Sequence Residual Current level :

O> = (0.02 - 2)On, step 0.01On. lf O> = DIS. the function is disactivated.

- Trip time delay:

tO> = (0.05-5)s, step 0.01s.

- Minimum Residual Voltage level to enable the operation of the Zero Sequence O/C element
when in the Directional mode:

Uo> = (2-25)secondary V, step 1V.

- Max torque angle in the Directional operation mode (see § 2.3):

 = (0-359-Dis)°, step 1°.

When “  “ is set to “Dis”, the Earth Fault element works as normal non directional
Overcurrent relay and the “ Uo “ level is disregarded.

As for function F51, any of the output relays can be associated to the instantaneous element
of “O>” as well as to the time delayed element “ tO> “.

2.2.3.8 - Limitation of the Starts Number

- Allowed Number of startings:

St No = (1-60), step 1 lf St No = DIS the number of startings is unlimited.

- Time interval in which the StNo is counted:

tStNo = (1-60)min. step 1 min.

lf during the time “tStN” the “StNo” is attained, a new start is inhibited for the time “tBst”.

- Restart Inhibition time:

tBst = (1-60)min., step 1min. or Rm

On the set tBst= 0 the inhibition is disactivated

On the set tBst= Rm the inhibition is permanent until the RESET key is operated.

2.2.3.9 - Starting Sequence Control

During start-up of the motor, the unit can control an output relay used to operate the switch-over of
two-step motor starters (star-delta, resistance or impedance, autotransformer, etc...) thus allowing
to automatically manage the starting transition by controlling the following parameters:

- Switch-over (transition) current:

ITr = (0.1-1)Ist, step 0.1Ist

- Maximum switch-over (transition) time delay:

tTr = (0.5-50)s, step 0.1s.

At motor start counting of “ tTr “ begins. If during “ tTr ” the motor current drops below “ ltr “,
switching-over is operated; if motor current stays above “ ltr “ longer than “ tTr “, the Locked Rotor
element is activated.

2.2.3.10 - Autosetting

The complexity of properly set a motor protection, frequently produces undesired tripping or
non-operation of some of the functions.
The relay MM30-D can automatically select the best setting of the parameters according to motor
and system basic data. These data are:

- System frequency = Fn = 50 o 60 Hz
- Rated primary current of phase C.Ts. = In = 0-9999 A step 1A
- Rated primary current of earth fault C.T = On = 0-9999 A step 1A
- Motor rated current = lm = 0.1-1.5 In step 0.01In
- Motor starting current = lst = 0.5-9.9 Im step0.1 Im
- Starting time = tst = 1-120 s step 1s
- Transition current level = ITr = 0.11 Ist step 0.1 Ist
- Transition time = tTr = 0.5-50 s step 0,1s

Once these settings have been programmed, the “AUTOSET” function can be activated by the key
"ENTER" and all the parameters are computed and automatically set at values suitable for a
normal duty of the motor.
Particularly the motor warming-up time constant “tm” is computed so that the motor, when stopped
after having run continuously at Rated Power (Rated current Im), can be immediately restarted at
least one time.
The parameters can anyhow be manually modified if different setting is needed.

2.3 - OPERATION OF THE DIRECTIONAL EARTH FAULT ELEMENT

It is assumed :


O> = Set minimum pick-up residual current : (3Io)

Uo> = Set minimum residual voltage (3Uo) to enable O> pick-up
o
 = Set characteristic angle (max. torque displacement of residual current 3Io from residual
voltage 3Uo).

3Io = Actual earth fault relay’s input current

3Uo = Actual earth fault relay’s input voltage
o
 = Displacement of 3Io from 3Uo

Io = Component of 3Io in the direction o
Io = 3Io cos(o-o)

Fig 1 Fig.2

The relay measurement is:

3Io x cos( o -o) = Io

The relay trips when Io>[O>] (fig.2) i.e, when the component of the input current in the measuring
direction of the relay exceeds the set trip level Is. [O>]

Operation is enabled only if the input zero-sequence voltage 3Uo is above the set level [Uo>].

The sensitivity of the relay is then proportional to cos(o -o), it is maximum when o = o
and its operation field is limited within the range:

(o - 90°) < o < ( + 90) (fig.1)

The characteristic angle of the relay must be selected according to the kind of earthing of the installation
which has to be protected against earth fault; typical setting are:

 UNEARTHED NEUTRAL o = 90°

 NEUTRAL EARTHED VIA RESISTOR o = 0°
 SOLIDLY EARTHED NEUTRAL o = 60°

2.4 - CLOCK AND CALENDAR

The unit features a built in clock calendar with Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Tenths
of seconds and Hundredths of seconds.
2.4.1 - Clock synchronization.
The clock can be synchronized via the serial communication interface.
The following synchronization periods can be set: 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes.
Synchronization can also be disabled, in which case the relay ignores the serial broadcast signal.
In case synchronization is enabled, the unit expects to receive a sync signal at the beginning of every
hour and once every Tsyn minutes. When a sync signal is received, the clock is automatically set to
the nearest expected synchronization time.
For example: if Tsyn is 10min and a sync signal is received at 20:03:10 January the 10th, 98, then the
clock is set to 20:00:00 January the 10th, 1998.
On the other hand, if the same sync signal were received at 20:06:34, the clock would be set to
th
20:10:00, January the 10 98.
Note that if a sync signal is received exactly in the middle of a Tsyn period, the clock is set to the
previous expected synchronization time.
2.4.2 - Date and time setting.
When the PROG/SETTINGS menu is entered, the current date is displayed with one of the groups of
digits (YY, MMM or DD) blinking.
The DOWN key operates as a cursor. It moves through the groups of digits in the sequence YY =>
MMM => DD => YY => …
The UP key allows the user to modify the currently blinking group of digits.
If the ENTER button is pressed the currently displayed date is set.
Pressing the SELECT button the current time is displayed which can be modified using the same
procedure as for the date.
If synchronization is enabled and the date (or time) is modified, the clock is stopped until a sync
signal is received via the serial port. This allows the user to manually set many units and have them
to start their clocks in a synchronized fashion.
If synchronization is disabled the clock is never stopped.
Note that the setting of a new time always clears 10ths and 100ths of sec.
2.4.3 - Time resolution.
The clock has a 10ms resolution. This means that any event can be time-stamped with a 10ms
accuracy, although the information concerning 10ths and 100ths of sec. can be accessed only via the
serial communication interface.
2.4.4 - Operation during power off.
The unit has an on board Real Time Clock which maintains time information for at least 1 hour in
case of power supply failure.
2.4.5 - Time tolerance.
During power on, time tolerance depends on the on board crystal (+/-50ppm typ, +/-100ppm max.
over full temperature range).
During power off, time tolerance depends on the RTC’s oscillator (+65 /–270 ppm max over full
temperature range).

5. OUTPUT RELAYS
The unit MM30-D includes four (R1, R2, R3, R4) user programmable plus one diagnostic (R5) output
relays.
In the version MM30-DX the number of output relays can be increased by the addition of one or two
optional Relay Expansion modules REX-8.
The modules REX-8 are for protruding mounting and are controlled by the master module MM30-DX via
a screened twisted pair of cables connecting dedicated RS485 serial ports (see diagram herebelow).
The module REX-8 includes eight (RA, RB, RC, RD, RE, RF, RH, RG) user programmable plus one
(R-Diag) diagnostic output relays
The master module MM30-DX can control altogether up to sixteen output relays

- 4 internal R1 – R2 – R3 – R4

- 8 from the first optional REX-8 module RA – RB – RC – RD – RE – RF – RG – RH

- 4 from a second optional REX-8 module RI(RA+RB) – RJ(RC+RD) – RK(RE+RF) – RL(RG+RH)

This second unit REX-8 is configured (by internal Dip-Switch) to operate the eight relays two by two in
parallel (only four user programmable outputs with double number of available contacts)
Any of the functions featured by the MM30-D can be programmed to control up to four out of the sixteen
user programmable output relays.

MM30-D Rev. 4
Date 24.02.2003

The user programmable relays (all but R5, RDIAG) are normally deenergized, i.e. energized on trip.
These relays pick-up as soon as the tripping cause appears (relays controlled by the instantaneous
functions) or at the end of the set trip time delay (relays controlled by time delayed functions).

The reset after trip takes place automatically as soon as the relevant tripping cause has been cleared.

The relays R5, R DIAG are not user programmable; they are normally energized and get deenergized
on :

- internal fault of MM30-DX - Internal fault of REX-8

R5 - MM30-DX power supply failure R DIAG - REX-8 power supply failure
- during the programming - Interruption/fault on the serial
control communication

6. SERIAL COMMUNICATION

The relays fitted with the serial communication option can be connected via a cable bus or (with proper
adapters) a fiber optic bus for interfacing with a Personal Computer (type IBM or compatible).
All the operations which can be performed locally (for example reading of measured data and changing
of relay’s settings) are also possible via the serial communication interface.
Furthermore the serial port allows the user to read the demand recording data.
The unit has a RS232 / RS485 interface and can be connected either directly to a P.C. via a dedicated
cable or to a RS485 serial bus, thus having many relays to exchange data with a single master P.C.
using the same physical serial line. A RS485/232 converter is available on request.
The communication protocol is MODBUS RTU (only functions 3, 4 and 16 are implemented).
Each relay is identified by its programmable address code (NodeAd) and can be called from the P.C.
A dedicated communication software (MSCOM) for Windows 95/98/NT4 SP3 (or later) is available.
Please refer to the MSCOM instruction manual for more information Microelettrica Scientifica.

7. DIGITAL INPUTS

The relay is fitted with three digital inputs activated when the relevant terminals are shorted by a cold
contact :

- R.T. (terminals 1-2) Remote Trip control.

Activation of the input R.T. (Terminals 1-2 shorted) produces the
following operation :
 The output relay associated to the function R.T. is energized
 The Trip Number Counter R.T. is incremented by 1 unit
 The event recording is activated and shows “CAUSE: RT”

- S.p.C. (terminals 1-3) Switch speed Control.

The Speed Control input is connected to an external N/O contact which
closes as soon as the motor is running. If the contact does not close
within the set start time [tst] from the moment the motor is energised,
the Locked Rotor function is tripped. The relay and the signal led
associated to ILR are energised, the recording on Last Trip will show
cause SpC and trip N° LR will be increased.
If the Speed Control function is not used, it must be disactivated by
programming the variable [Spc] = OFF (see § 12.1)
- RTD (terminals 1-14) Thermal probe.
This function is enabled by programming the variable
[RTD] = ON (see § 12.1)
If the function is enabled, the input RTD is activated when the resistance
connected to the terminals 1-14 exceeds the limits 50 > R1-14 > 2900.
This limits respectively correspond to “Shorted Probe” (<50) or to
“Overtemperature” (R>2900)
The activation of the input 1-14 produces the following operation:

 The relay associated to R.T. is energized

 The Led T> is lit-on.
 The counter of Trip Number of the function T> is incremented
 LastTrip recording shows : "CAUSE RTD"

(*) If PT100 probes are used, it must be notified when ordering the relay.

8. TEST
Besides the normal "WATCHDOG" and "POWERFAIL" functions, a comprehensive program of self-test
and self-diagnostic provides:
 Diagnostic and functional test, with checking of program routines and memory's content, run every
time the aux. power is switched-on: the display shows the type of relay and its version number.
 Dynamic functional test run during normal operation every 15 min. (relay's operation is suspended
for less than 4 ms). If any internal fault is detected, the display shows a fault message, the Led
"PROG/IRF" illuminates and the relay R5 is deenergized.
 Complete test activated by the keyboard or via the communication bus either with or without tripping
of the output relays.

13. MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TEST OPERATION

13.1 Mode "TESTPROG" subprogram "W/O TRIP"
Operation of the yellow key activates a complete test of the electronics and the process routines.
All the leds are lit-on and the display shows (TEST RUN). If the test routine is successfully
completed the display switches-over to the default reading (xx:xx:xx).
If an internal fault is detected, the display shows the fault identification code and the relay R5 is
deenergized. This test can be carried-out even during the operation of the relay without affecting the
relay tripping in case a fault takes place during the test itself.
13.2 Mode "TESTPROG" subprogram "WithTRIP"
Access to this program is enabled only if the current detected is zero (breaker open).
Pressing the yellow key the display shows "TEST RUN?". A second operation of the yellow key starts
a complete test which also includes the activation of all the output relays.
The display shows (TEST RUN) with the same procedure as for the test with W/O TRIP.
Every 15 min during the normal operation the relay automatically initiates an auto test procedure
(duration  10ms). If any internal fault is detected during the auto test, the relay R5 is deenergized,
the relevant led is activated and the fault code is displayed.
Further operation of key SELECT instead of the TEST programs gives the indication of the version
and production date of the firmware.

WARNING

Running the WithTRIP test will operate all of the output relays. Care must be taken to ensure that no
unexpected or harmful equipment operations will occur as a result of running this test.
It is generally recommended that this test be run only in a bench test environment or after all dangerous
output connections are removed.
14. MAINTENANCE
No maintenance is required. Periodically a functional check-out can be made with the test procedures
described under MANUAL TEST chapter. In case of malfunctioning please contact Microelettrica
Scientifica Service or the local Authorised Dealer mentioning the relay's Serial No reported in the label
on relays enclosure.

WARNING

In case of Internal Relay Fault detection, proceed as here-below indicated :

 If the error message displayed is one of the following “DSP Err”, “ALU Err” ,”KBD Err” ,”ADC Err”,
switch off power supply and switch-on again. If the message does not disappear send the relay to
Microelettrica Scientifica (or its local dealer) for repair.
 If the error message displayed is “E2P Err”, try to program any parameter and then run “W/OTRIP”.
 If message disappear please check all the parameters.
 If message remains send the relay to Microelettrica Scientifica (or its local dealer) for repair.
15. POWER FREQUENCY INSULATION TEST
Every relay individually undergoes a factory insulation test according to IEC255-5 standard at
2 kV, 50 Hz 1min. Insulation test should not be repeated as it unusefully stresses the dielectrics.
When doing the insulation test, the terminals relevant to serial output must always be short circuited to
ground. When relays are mounted in switchboards or relay boards that have to undergo the insulation
tests, the relay modules must be drawn-out of their enclosures and the test must only include the fixed
part of the relay with its terminals and the relevant connections. This is extremely important as
discharges eventually tacking place in other parts or components of the board can severely damage the
relays or cause damages, not immediately evident to the electronic components.
