1. Introduction
The application of powerful microprocessors opens a new chapter for power system protectiverelaying. The digital processing of measured values and the ability to perform complex arithmetic andlogic operations, give digital protection relays significant performance and flexibility improvementsover their traditional analogue counterparts. Additional advantages - very small power consumption,adaptability, self-supervision, fault diagnosis through fault data recording, smaller physicalconstruction and selectable relay characteristics - all combine to allow the implementation ofaccurate and highly reliable protection schemes at a significantly reduced financial burden.
The development of microprocessor based protective relays and their introduction into the markethas been stimulated by the recent trend to replace analogue with digital equipment. This moderntrend has prompted the development of a new P&B protective relay family - the MI relay series.The superiority of digital protective relaying over traditional analogue devices, as embodied by theMI relay family, is summarised by the following features:
•• Integration of many protective functions in a single compact case•• High accuracy owing to digital processing•• Wide setting ranges with fine interim steps.•• User friendly setting procedure by means of DIP-switches.
The Digital Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay, MIRI, is a universal protection device for mediumvoltage networks. Similarly for protection against undervoltage, overvoltage and neutral voltagedisplacement, the MIRV is available.
The MI relay family was designed as a low cost range of protection relays for application in mediumvoltage networks. Similar protection relays with extended functions, the MR series, are alsoavailable. They provide an additional alpha-numeric display for the indication of measured values andfaults as well as allowing data exchange via a serial interface and increased operational reliabilitythrough self-supervision. This comprehensive family of protection relays can satisfy the demands ofeven the most complex protection schemes:
MRI - Overcurrent Relay (Independent time/I.D.M.T + earth + directional facilities)MRI-V - Voltage Dependent Overcurrent RelayMREF - Restricted Earth Fault RelayMRAR - Auto-Reclosing RelayMRMF - Mains Failure RelayMRVT - Voltage ProtectionMRFT - Frequency ProtectionMROS - Vector Surge or Rate of Change of FrequencyMRNS - Negative Sequence RelayMRRP - Power RelayMRCS - Check Synchronising RelayMRFF - Field Failure RelayMRDG - Differential Relay
To complement the MI & MR series, a range of Auxiliary, Timing and Tripping devices are alsoavailable.

2. Applications
The Digital Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay, the MIRI, is a universal protection device formedium voltage networks. The protective functions of the MIRI are summarised as follows:
• Selectable protective functions between :- Definite time overcurrent relay- Inverse time overcurrent relay

• An independent stage for the fast tripping of short circuit protection.• Two-stage overcurrent time protection for phase current.• Overcurrent time protection for earth fault current.
Furthermore, the MIRI relay can be employed as back-up protection for distance and differentialprotective relays.
3. Features and characteristics

5 Working Principles
5.1 Analogue Circuits
The incoming currents from the external current transformers are converted to internal signals inproportion to the currents, via the internal input transducers and shunt resistors. The noise signalscaused by inductive and capacitive coupling are suppressed by an analogue RC filter circuit. Theanalogue signals are fed to the A/D converter of the micro-processor and transformed to digitalsignals through sample-hold circuits. All further processing is carried out on these digitised values.The analogue signals are sampled with a sampling frequency of 800 Hz, namely a sampling rate of1.25 mS for every measured quantity.
In order to achieve a sensitive earth current measurement, an operational amplifier is connected tothe earth current input circuit before the analogue signal enters the A/D converter.
5.2 Digital Circuits
The essential component of the MIRI relay is a powerful micro-controller. All of the operations,from the analogue digital conversion to the relay trip decision, are carried out by the micro-controllerdigitally. The relay program, located in EPROM, allows the CPU of the micro-controller to calculatethe three phase currents and earth fault current in order to detect a possible fault.
For the calculation of the current value, an efficient digital filter, based on the Fourier Analysis(DFFT - Discrete Fast Fourier Transformation), is applied to suppress high frequency harmonics andDC components caused by fault induced transients or other system disturbances. The actualcalculated current values are compared with the relay settings. When a current exceeds the startingvalue the unit starts the corresponding time delay calculation. When the set time delay has elapsed, atrip signal is given.
5.3 Power Supply
Vaux = 24V in a range from 16V to 60V ACor in a range from 16V to 80V DC
Vaux = 110V in a range from 50V to 270V ACor in a range from 70V to 360V DC
5.4 Requirements for the main Current Transformers
In order to ensure the correct operation of the MIRI range of relays, protection class CT's must beutilised. Instrument CT's are NOT a suitable alternative.
CT's should be chosen such that saturation, or loss of accuracy does not occur within the settingsand operation ranges of the relays. In the absence of known settings the following may be regardedas an approximate guide.
For 1A secondary
CT class 5P20 or 10P20 2.5VA (Allowing for up to 1Ω of secondary lead resistance)
For 5A secondary
CT class 5P20 or 10P20 5VA (Allowing for up to 0.5Ω of secondary lead resistance)
with due regard to a suitable CT ratio and fault level capacity.

6 Operation and Settings
6.1 Layout of the Operating elements
All DIP switches required for the setting of parameters are located on the front panel, see figuresshowing front panel.
6.2 Setting of the Parameters by means of DIP Switches
For better comprehension of the DIP switches in this chapter the following are accepted:
1.
DIP Switch is turned off (OFF Position)
DIP Switch is turned on (ON Position)
2. Unlike the DIP switches shown on the front panel of the MIRI, the examples given are numberedand the ON position is marked.
6.2.1 Setting of the tripping characteristic for Phase Over current and Earth Fault
The following tripping characteristics can be adjusted:
1. Definite Time Tripping Curve - DEFT (Definite)
2. IDMT Tripping Curves - NINV (Normal Inverse)- VINV (Very Inverse)- EINV (Extremely Inverse)
By setting DIP switch 1,2 or 3 of the switch set shown below to the ON position, it is possible toselect one of the three IDMT tripping curves. If Definite Time is required, all three of the DIPswitches must be set to the DEFT position. In the case of an invalid setting for the DIP switches, forexample, if several switches are simultaneously set to the ON position, a Definite Time trippingcharacteristic with the smallest possible tripping time is automatically selected. This ensures that theprotected device cannot be overloaded under any circumstances. Setting ranges and characteristicsare detailed in Chapter 9.

6.2.2 Setting of the Value of I> for the Phase Over Current Stage
With the aid of DIP Switch group I>, it is possible to adjust the response value for phase overcurrent tripping in the range 0.5 - 2.05 x In. The tripping value is calculated from the sum of theindividual settings of all the DIP switches.
Example
A tripping value of 1.0 x In is required, therefore switches 2 and 4 are switched on.

The response value for the phase
over current is then calculated as
follows:
I> = 0.5 + 0.1 + 0.4 = 1.0 x In
6.2.3 Setting of the Tripping Time (tI>) for the Phase Over Current Stage
With the aid of the DIP Switch group tI>, it is possible to select the tripping time for the phase overcurrent in the range 0.1 - 150 s. There are four switches available to adjust the set value (switches 3to 6) and two switches to select the multiplication factor (switches 1 and 2). The set value iscalculated from the sum of the individual factors (switches 3 to 6) multiplied by the set multiplicationfactor, x1, x10 or x100 are possible. If switches 1 and 2 are both set to ON, then the setting is invalidand gives an automatic multiplication factor of 1. If all the switches from 3 to 6 are set to the OFFposition, then the tripping time is equal to the relay operating time, approximately 30 mS.
Example
A tripping time of 10s is required, therefore switches 1, 4 and 6 are switched on,

6.2.4 Setting of the Value (I>>) for the High Set Overcurrent Unit.
With the aid of DIP Switch group I>> it is possible to adjust the value for the high set overcurrentunit in the range of 2.0 - 33.5 x In. The tripping value is calculated as described in 6.2.2.

A value of 8.0 x In is required, therefore switches 3 and 4 are switched on.

With the aid of the DIP Switch group tI>>, it is possible to adjust the tripping period for the High SetOvercurrent unit in the range of 0.05 - 1.55s. The setting time is calculated from the sum of theindividual factors of all the DIP switches set to on. If all the switches are set to off, then the trippingtime is equal to the relay operating time, approximately 30mS.

6.2.6 Setting of the Value (IE) for the Earth Fault Protection
The setting procedure is identical to that described in paragraph 6.2.2.
02/05/96 MIRI 01/96I12
6.2.7 Setting of the Tripping Time (tE) for the Earth Fault Protection
The setting procedure is identical to that described in paragraph 6.2.3.
6.2.8 Setting of the Nominal Frequency
For correct digital filtering, the applied FFT-Algorithm used for the data calculation, requires thenominal frequency of the system to be protected. The nominal frequency can be selected to 50 or60Hz by means of DIP switches on the front panel.
6.3 Indication of Faults
For fault indication the MIRI provides 7 LED's with the following functions:
LED L1 - Fault in Phase L1LED L2 - Fault in Phase L2LED L3 - Fault in Phase L3LED E - Earth FaultLED I> - Serves to indicate tripping from a phase overcurrentLED I>> - Serves to indicate tripping from a phase short circuitLED IE - Serves to indicate tripping from a Earth Fault
Example
In the case of a 2 phase short circuit between L1 and L2, then LED's L1, L2 and I>> would light up.
If a relay was energised because of a fault but the fault current had fallen below the tripping levelbefore tripping could occur, then this is stored and indicated by a slowly flashing LED correspondingto the fault indicated. This indication can be reset with the <RESET> push-button.
6.4 Reset
6.4.1 Hand Reset by Pressing the <RESET> Push-button
When the <RESET> push-button is pressed, the output relays immediately reset and all LED's areextinguished.
6.4.2 Reset by Each New Energization
At each new energization of the unit, the unit self resets and the LED's indicate any faults occurringat that time.
6.7 Setting value calculation
In order to ensure that protection relays form an integral part of any system, a full protection co-ordination study should normally be undertaken which considers both upstream and downstreamequipment. Further details may be obtained by contacting P&B Engineering.
In the absence of a suitable study, the following provides a brief guide;
02/05/96 MIRI 01/96I13
6.7.1 Low set stage
For plain and transformer feeders, the low set stage pickup is normally taken as 120% of anydownstream protection and 80% any upstream protection
In the absence of upstream and downstream protection setting information, a setting of 150% of thefull load current is normally used for transformer feeders.
6.7.2 High set stage
For plain feeders, this is not normally used. However, when used it is normally taken as 120% and80% of any downstream and upstream high set protection respectively.
For transformer feeders, this is normally set to 120% of the actual through fault level for secondaryfaults.
6.7.3 Characteristic curve
This is normally selected to suit both the upstream and downstream protection characteristic toachieve the minimum of crossover.
6.7.4 Low set stage time multiplier/time delay
This is normally selected to give sufficient time delay between upstream and downstream operatingtimes to allow for breaker clearance and measurement errors etc. This is usually taken as 0.3 - 0.4seconds
6.7.5 High set stage time delay
This is normally set at the minimum possible, or as 6.7.4.

7. Relay case
The MIRI is delivered in an individual case for flush mounting.
7.1 Individual case
The MIRI is supplied in a UK manufactured industry standard drawout case suitable for flushmounting. For case dimension and cut-out, refer to Technical Data.
7.2 Rack mounting
MIRI relays may be supplied mounted in 19" racks if specified by the user.
7.3 Terminal connections
The MIRI plug in module is supplied in a case which has a very compact plug and socket connector.The current terminals are equipped with self closing short circuit contacts. Thus the MIRI modulecan be unplugged even with current flowing without endangering personnel.
8. Test and maintenance
Currents may be supplied to the input transformers to test the behaviour of the relay. By switchingon test currents and measuring the tripping time, the whole system can be accurately tested. Aportable test case can be supplied which is suitable for testing the MIRI .
All measuring input circuits of the MIRI are of static design and the relay functions are fullydigitised. Thus, the MIRI has no particular demand on maintenance.

9.8 Housing
Throughout the MI series range a modular housing system has been employed, utilising the latesthigh quality UK manufactured industry standard case components. This approach affords maximumflexibility for both the relay scheme designer and the maintenance engineer. The relay modules arefully withdrawable for ease of maintenance and where applicable incorporate automatic short-circuiting CT connections to avoid dangerous open circuit CT overvoltages. A clear plasticremovable front cover is provided for inspection purposes.
MIRI units are supplied in standard height (179mm≅7in.) cases, complying with IEC 297 size 4U.
The rigid case wall is manufactured from a single sheet of hot dipped galvanised steel coatedexternally with Plastisol PVC and internally with a low gloss alkyd paint finish. This constructiontechnique provides improved thermal transfer characteristics over plastic walled cases and combinesexceptional corrosion and flame resilience with good electromagnetic and electrostatic screeningproperties allowing many relays to be freely situated in close proximity and hazardous environments.When the relay is inserted a leaf spring along the top edge of the module makes contact with asolidly bonded nickel plated steel strip on the interior of the case, providing excellent earthcontinuity. This strip is brought out at the rear of the case, above the terminal block, where it forms aseparate earthing terminal. A rigid front mounting flange is provided allowing the entire range ofstandard cases to be flush mounted without alteration. These flanges are also used to mount the relayinspection cover which is secured by thumbscrews. Securely bonded channels can be provided on thetop and bottom surfaces toward the rear of the case allowing large rigid assemblies to be created bythe use of joining strips located in these channels.
This uniform but highly flexible housing system integrates excellent mechanical strength with goodelectrical practice in industry standard sizes.
