1. INTRODUCTION
Over current & Earth Iault Relay model MC31A is numeric
type, non- directional 3 phase Over current relay. It is suitable
Ior Over current & Earth Iault protection schemes in LV, MV
and HV power distribution systems. It is also suitable Ior
applications such as providing selective protection Ior overhead
and underground Ieeders, AC machines, TransIormers etc.
Its Micro controller based design oIIers a wide range oI Iield
selectable Trip time characteristics. It also provides starter and
time delayed programmable outputs Ior Over Current as well as
Earth Fault.
The relay has a unique provision where by, it can be made
suitable for operation from either a 1A CT secondary or 5A
CT secondary - this CT rating can be selected in the field
through menu operations.
2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 Non Volatile Memory
The relay has EEPROM, which retains the programmed pickup
values, characteristics, Trip time settings and recorded
parameters even when the auxiliary supply is switched oII.
2.2 Auxiliary Power Supply Range
The relay has wide range AC/DC auxiliary power supply. There
are two models available.
Type 1: 24V to 110V AC / DC +/- 15
Type 2: 95V to 240V AC / DC +/- 15
The type oI the power supply is highlighted in the wiring
diagram label. Before energizing the relay, check the power
supply voltage is within limits and wiring is done as per the
wiring diagram.

2.3 Relay outputs
MC31A relay has 5 relay outputs namely R1 to R5.
Relays R1 to R4 can be conIigured Ior any one or more
protection Iunctions. R1 relay can be programmed to operate as
selI-reset type or manual reset type. R1 relay cannot be assigned
to starter Iunctions. Also, any relay assigned to starter Iunctions
can not be assigned to any other protection.
The relay R5 is meant Ior providing alarm Ior internal Iault
conditions. It will be always energized during normal operation
and de-energized when the relay is in Program mode or in the
event oI auxiliary control supply Iailure or any malIunction
detected inside the relay.
Note: All the output relays will de-energize when auxiliary
supply is switched oII even in hand reset mode. However, the
output relay will regain the original status aIter the power up
condition when supply is restored.
2.4 Starter Relay
The over current and earth Iault Iunction Iollows the selected
characteristic curve Ior its timing. Except R1 relay, other outputs
can be programmed Ior instantaneous or time delayed operation
oI low set in over current or earth Iault mode. When the
protection Iunction is programmed as instantaneous, this output
is useIul as an alarm relay or a blocking output to any upstream
over current relay. It should not be associated to trip the
breaker. The breaker trip function has to be achieved by the
time delayed contact of protection function.
2.5 CT Rating
The default setting of the CT rating is 1 Amp (i.e.) P1E1 .
The CT rating oI the unit can be changed in the programming
(ProG) menu and can be viewed in the display setting (dSEt)
menu.
....3
-3-

The display codes Ior various CT ratings are:
P5E5 - Phase CT 5 A and Earth CT 5A
P1E1 - Phase CT 1 A and Earth CT 1A
P1E5 - Phase CT 1 A and Earth CT 5A
P5E1 - Phase CT 5 A and Earth CT 1A
Note: After the modifications in the CT ratings, mark the
present CT ratings on the label stuck on the right side of the
unit.
2.6 Trip Time Characteristic Curves

2.7 Current measurements
The relay shows RMS values oI three phase & Earth leakage
currents at regular interval on display in scroll mode. (II the
current is more than 9999` A, then relay will display - - - -').
....4
-4-

2.8 Event Recordings
The relay records Iollowing parameters.
1. Trip data oI last 5 tripping. The Trip data includes Trip
cause (over current lowset, Earth Fault lowset etc.) and over
current values when the Iault occurred.
2. The number oI Tripping due to Over current & Earth Iault.
3. The RMS current value measured during Switch-ON oI
Feeder and highest current measured during its ON
condition. These values are integrated over a period oI 100
millisec.
2.9 Diagnostics
The relay has a built-in watchdog Iacility, which monitors
correct operation oI program Ilow. During Power-ON a detailed
test is conducted to check EEPROM, RAM & EPROM and
other parts oI the relay. Additionally, diagnostic routines are
executed continuously to veriIy memory contents.
Any time oI relay`s normal operation, a test can be initiated
manually by pressing the Push button. This test has the option oI
including or excluding trip relay operations.
Under any Iault condition, the relay will show the Iault code
'Error in the seven-segment display, the Error LED will glow
and relay R5 will de-energize.
2.10 Signalization
The 4 seven-segment displays and 4-phase indicator LEDs show
parameter settings, current values etc. The Trip window at the
bottom has 4 LEDs Ior R, Y, B, E phases. They indicate the
phase on which Iault has occurred.
....5
-5-

These LEDs will start Ilashing when a Iault has developed and
will glow steady when the trip has occurred. The LED indication
can be reset by a Reset button. However reset is not possible
when Iault is present. The Reset button also resets the R1 relay
iI it is programmed in Hand reset mode.
2.11 Reset time
The relay has a unique Iacility a programmable reset time Ior
the lowset Iault is provided in the relay. II Iault current has
appeared Ior a duration less than the set trip time delay, relay
will hold the elapsed trip time Ior the duration oI the
programmed reset time. II the relay now senses the Iault within
the reset time, it will run the timer only Ior the remaining
duration and will give the trip time command to the breaker.
AIter issuing the trip command the relay will reset immediately
irrespective oI the reset time.

1. Relay MC31A
2. Mounting clamps
3. Instruction Manual
4. Test certiIicate
Check the relay Ior any obvious damage. Please inIorm nearest
L & T oIIice or dealer in case oI any damage. Check the
Auxiliary Supply Range, Current Setting Range and Rated
Current Ior which the unit has been conIigured. This is indicated
on a label Iixed to one side oI the relay, which also shows
external wiring details. Ensure that these speciIications are as
per your order.
Remove the protective cover Irom the terminal block by
removing two screws. Connect suitable auxiliary supply
between terminal 25 and 26. Switch ON the supply, the display
and LEDs all will blink once and the display will show model
number (31A) and SoItware version (u .) oI the relay . AIter
this the relay will enter into current measurement mode.
This completes the preliminary check. Disconnect the auxiliary
supply and Iix the protective covers on Iront panel and terminal
block.
3.2 Mounting and Wiring:
Relay MC31A is designed Ior Ilush mounting on the panel.
ReIer Fig.3 Ior panel cutout dimensions and space required
behind the panel. Insert the relay through the panel cutout and
hold it Iirmly against the panel. Fix the mounting clamps on top

Fig.2). Relay terminals are suitable Ior 2.5 sq mm. lugs. Fix the
protective cover back on the terminal block with the help oI two
screws aIter completing the wiring.
NOTE:
1. ENSURE PROPER EARTH CONNECTION TO THE
RELAY
2. IT IS RECOMMEDED TO REMOVE THE RELAY
FROM THE PANEL DURING TRANSPORTATION.
3.3 Testing
A detailed testing oI the relay can be initiated manually by
running the 'TEST' menu. The testing can be done in two ways
as Iollows.
a) The "diSP" test, which does not trip the output relays.
b) The "rly" test, which also trips all the relay outputs.
This test will not trip output relays when current input is
sensed.
In the event oI a relay Iailure detected during testing, the Iault
code will be displayed and "Error" LED will light up. The
internal Iault relay R5 will de-energize.
3.4 Handling Precautions
In case oI relay malIunction, the electronic module alone can be
removed and replaced without removing the complete relay
assembly with its housing Irom the panel. Care has to be
exercised while handling the modules. The electronic
components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge while
handling the module. Hence care has to be taken while handling
the cards as mentioned in the Iollowing page :

Test Equipment: Single phase Current injection set
Connections: Connect auxiliary supply between terminal 25

1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 in series so that same current will pass
through all the 4 CTs.

blink once and the display will show model number (31A), "
SoItware version (u .) in the relay . AIter this the relay will
enter into current measurement mode.

are as per DeIault settings given in the setting Iorm. Pass 2A
(0.4A Ior 1A relay) through the relay. Now the relay will start
displaying the current in scrolling mode. Same time earth Iault
trip led will start Ilashing and will become permanently ON

through the relay. Now all the phase trip LEDs will start
Ilashing indicating the presence oI Iault. This will continue up to
4.39 sec and later all the trip LEDs will become permanently
ON and relay R1 will trip. Check the continuity between the
terminals 9 and 10 to ensure tripping oI R1. Remove the current
