1.4
Installing, commissioning and servicing

Equipment connections
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work for this
equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety.
The equipment documentation should be consulted before installing,
commissioning, or servicing the equipment.
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may
present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.
Any disassembly of the equipment may expose parts at hazardous voltage; also
electronic parts may be damaged if suitable electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD)
precautions are not taken.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by
all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp
terminations to ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained
for safety.
Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided in numerical relays to indicate
the health of the relay. Schneider Electric strongly recommends that these
contacts are hardwired into the substations automation system, for alarm
purposes.
To ensure that wires are correctly terminated the correct crimp terminal and tool
for the wire size should be used.

Protection Class I Equipment
-
Before energizing the equipment it must be earthed using the protective

conductor terminal, if provided, or the appropriate termination of the
supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.
The protective conductor (earth) connection must not be removed since

the protection against electric shock provided by the equipment would be
lost.
When the protective (earth) conductor terminal (PCT) is also used to

terminate cable screens, etc., it is essential that the integrity of the
protective (earth) conductor is checked after the addition or removal of
such functional earth connections. For M4 stud PCTs the integrity of the
protective (earth) connections should be ensured by use of a locknut or
similar.
The recommended minimum protective conductor (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm

(3.3 mm for North America) unless otherwise stated in the technical data section
of the equipment documentation, or otherwise required by local or country wiring
regulations.
The protective conductor (earth) connection must be low-inductance and as short
as possible.
All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that
are pre-wired, but not used, should preferably be grounded when binary inputs
and output relays are isolated. When binary inputs and output relays are
connected to common potential, the pre-wired but unused connections should be
connected to the common potential of the grouped connections.
Before energizing the equipment, the following should be checked:
-
Voltage rating/polarity (rating label/equipment documentation);
CT circuit rating (rating label) and integrity of connections;
Protective fuse rating;
Integrity of the protective conductor (earth) connection (where

applicable);
Voltage and current rating of external wiring, applicable to the application.
Accidental touching of exposed terminals

If working in an area of restricted space, such as a cubicle, where there is a risk of
electric shock due to accidental touching of terminals which do not comply with
IP20 rating, then a suitable protective barrier should be provided.
Equipment use
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Removal of the equipment front panel/cover
Removal of the equipment front panel/cover may expose hazardous live parts,
which must not be touched until the electrical power is removed.
UL and CSA listed or recognized equipment
To maintain UL and CSA approvals the equipment should be installed using UL
and/or CSA listed or recognized parts of the following type: connection cables,
protective fuses/fuse holders or circuit breakers, insulation crimp terminals, and
replacement internal battery, as specified in the equipment documentation.
P211/EN M/A31
Page 8/60
Technical Manual
MiCOM P211
Equipment operating conditions

The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.
Current transformer circuits
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced
may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Generally, for safety,
the secondary of the line CT must be shorted before opening any connections to
it.
For most equipment with ring-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block
for current transformer termination has automatic CT shorting on removal of the
module. Therefore external shorting of the CTs may not be required; the
equipment documentation should be checked to see if this applies.
For equipment with pin-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for
current transformer termination does NOT have automatic CT shorting on removal
of the module.
External resistors, including voltage dependent resistors (VDRs)
Where external resistors, including voltage dependent resistors (VDRs), are fitted
to the equipment, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns, if touched.
Battery replacement
Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommended
type and be installed with the correct polarity to avoid possible damage to the
equipment, buildings and persons.
Insulation and dielectric strength testing
Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the
end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to
discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.
Insertion of modules and pcb cards
Modules and PCB cards must not be inserted into or withdrawn from the
equipment whilst it is energized, since this may result in damage.
Insertion and withdrawal of extender cards
Extender cards are available for some equipment. If an extender card is used,
this should not be inserted or withdrawn from the equipment whilst it is energized.
This is to avoid possible shock or damage hazards. Hazardous live voltages may
be accessible on the extender card.
External test blocks and test plugs
Great care should be taken when using external test blocks and test plugs such
as the MMLG, MMLB and MiCOM P990 types, hazardous voltages may be
accessible when using these. *CT shorting links must be in place before the
insertion or removal of MMLB test plugs, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
*Note: When a MiCOM P992 Test Plug is inserted into the MiCOM P991 Test
Block, the secondaries of the line CTs are automatically shorted, making
them safe.
Fiber optic communication
Where fiber optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed
directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or
signal level of the relay.
Cleaning
The equipment may be cleaned using a lint free cloth dampened with clean water,
when no connections are energized. Contact fingers of test plugs are normally
protected by petroleum jelly, which should not be removed.

De-commissioning and disposal

De-commissioning
The supply input (auxiliary) for the equipment may include capacitors across the
supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely
isolating the supplies to the equipment (both poles of any dc supply), the
capacitors should be safely discharged via the external terminals prior to
de-commissioning.
Disposal
It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses is avoided.
The equipment should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any equipment
containing batteries should have them removed before disposal, taking
precautions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of
operation, may apply to the disposal of the equipment.

Document convention
Technical Manual
MiCOM P211
There are five hardware versions of the MiCOM P211. Model A is the standard version.
Inputs in this model are not optional. Model B has an additional earth-fault current input Io
and an RS485 communication port. Model C, in addition to Model B 's features, has
binary inputs (V1 and V2), and output relays (P3 and P4). Model "U" has a voltage input
instead of an e/f input. Depending on the model selected, there are different options for the
relay's configuration.
Therefore, the following convention has been adopted throughout this manual: if no
reference is made to a model in the description of a feature, it means that this feature
is available for all the models; if the (BC)* or (CU)* references are used, then the
described feature is only available for models: B and C or C and U, respectively.
Please refer to the sales publication for further information on the product features and application arrangements.

Product Description
The scope of the P211's applications includes:
1.
LV motors
2.
Replacement of electromechanical relays for the protection of small MV motors
The relay can be used in one-, two- or three-phase applications to protect against
earth faults and phase-to-phase short-circuit faults. It can control a circuit-breaker or
a contactor. Thanks to its integrated communications port, it is able to exchange
information with a supervision system in terms of measurements, relay states, switch
controls, etc.

Mounting Procedure
There are two types of cases available: 35 mm DIN rail or flush mounted.
Rail mounted version:
Clip the relay onto a rail (no tool needed). To detach it from the rail use a narrow, flat
screwdriver, insert its tip the dedicated aperture at the base of the relay and push the
screwdriver handle upwards to release the spring bolt.
Flush mounted version:
Cut-out the mounting plate according to Fig. 7, then insert the relay into the aperture. Insert
the fastening elements (see Fig. 7) into the slots on the sides of the case, and fasten the
screws until the relay is securely fixed to the plate. To remove the relay, losen the screws
until the fastening element can be extracted, and the relay can be withdrawn from the cut-out
in the mounting plate.
3.4
Connection of feeder wires

NOTE:
Terminals K - L (optional earth fault input), and TR+ - TR-

(optional communication port) are only available if the corresponding
relay version is ordered. The optional nature of the terminals is
indicated by the fact that their label on the relay's front panel is red.
Before wiring these terminals, make sure that you have the correct
relay version (Io input and RS485 options are only available in B and
C models).
35 mm DIN rail mounted case:

All screw terminals allow the connection of conductor cross-section of up to 2.5 mm2 for
threaded wires or 4 mm2 for solid wires. If the required current setting is within the relay's
setting range, then the motor phase conductors should be fed through the guiding channels
in the relay's case (Fig. 1). If the required current setting is greater than 80 A, then external
protection CTs should be used together with the relay 's (3-6) A base current range. The
CTs' secondary circuit wires should be fed through the guiding channels in the relay's case
(Fig. 1). If the required current setting is below the minimum value of the relay setting range,
then the motor's phase conductors should be coiled several times through the guiding
channels in the relay's case (Fig. 2), if only one channel cross section permits it. The
number of turns (n) must be identical for all the phases.
Example:
The relay has a setting range of (1.5-6) A;
the required current setting range is (0.5-2) A.
The motor feeders should be coiled three-fold through the relevant channels in the relay's
case (increasing the number of coils in a CT results in the corresponding reduction of the
transformer ratio: 3 A/3 = 1 A).
Flush mounted case:
Screw terminals are located on the rear panel of the case, and are used to connect inputs,
outputs, and current circuits. Threaded or solid wires with 4 mm conductor cross-sections
may be connected to current terminals. The remaining terminals allow connection of
conductor cross-sections of up to 2.5 mm for threaded wires or 4 mm of conductor cross
section for solid wires. Due to the implementation of screw terminals for current circuits,
continuous and dynamic load rating is limited, as compared to the rail mounted version (see
Technical Data). It is therefore recommended that the flush mounted version of the relay be
used with external CTs.
NOTE:
Due to the required accuracy limit factors it is recommended to use

CTs dedicated to protection relays.

Technical Manual

MiCOM P211
Inputs and outputs

Terminal connections for DIN rail and flush mounted versions have identical descriptions.
This does not apply to the current circuits of the rail mounted version, which phase wires are
fed through guiding channels in the relay's case. On the flush mounted version phase wires
are connected to screw terminals: phase A (L1): 1-2; phase B (L2): 3-4; phase C (L3): 5-6.
Auxiliary voltage supply Vx is connected to A1-A2 terminals. The polarity of the connection
is not fixed. However, for the sake of clarity it is recommended to apply + (L) to A1, and -
(N) to A2.
Output contacts are assigned to the following terminal connections of the relay: 13-14 (relay
P1); 23-24 (relay P2); 33-34 (relay P3) (CU)*; 41-42-44 (relay P4) (CU)*.
Technical data of the output contacts are quoted in the Technical data section.
The S1-S2 and T1-T2 terminals may be connected to an external NO contact or a switch,
which purpose is to trigger a relay function assigned to these terminals (previously
configured using the relay's menu).
T1-T2 can also be configured as a PTC sensor input. It can then be used to connect up to 6
PTC sensors connected in series. The PTC input is standardized, and can co-operate with
sensors of any type and origin.
T1-T2, if configured as a PTC input, can also be used as an input for an external protection
device within the motor application. If that is the case, a normally closed contact should be
connected to the T1-T2 terminals. If the external protection device does not trip, then T1-T2
is closed by the NC contact; if the external protection device is trips, then its output circuit
connected to T1-T2 opens, and thus trips the relay.
NOTE:
Since an internal current source is connected to the S1-S2, T1-T2

input, no voltage should be applied to the terminals. If the S1-S2,
T1-T2 input is not used, the terminals must remain open.
The V1-C (CU)* and V2-C (CU)* terminals are assigned to binary inputs. If auxiliary supply
Vx is applied to the inputs, two assigned functions of the MiCOM P211 can be triggered.
The K-L (BC)* terminals are used to connect an external earth fault current filter, ie. a corebalanced CT (Ferranti) or a Holmgreen arrangement. Although e/f protection Io> is nondirectional and the polarity of its connection to the relay is not fixed, for the sake of clarity it is
recommended to connect K and L on the relay to the respective k and l terminals on
the e/f CT. A standard core-balanced CT has a rated current of 1 A, therefore a relay's
model with a rated e/f current of Ion = 1 A should be ordered. In case a higher setting range
is required for the relay, then a model with Ion = 5 A must be ordered. For a Holmgreen
arrangement, which CTs' secondary rated current is 5 A, a MiCOM P211 with Ion = 5 A must
be ordered.
Model U has a Vref voltage input (7,8 terminals)
TR+ and TR- (BCU)* are used to connect a standard RS485 two-wire communication link.
NOTE:
Unlike the other terminals pairs, it is crucial that the TR+ and TR-
terminals keep the required polarity of the connection.

When the voltage supply is restored, the LED corresponding to the protection function which
has tripped lights up, and output relays switch over to the states preceeding the voltage
interruption (depending on the selected configuration set for the relay).
Re-starting the motor is only possible after the tripping state has been reset.

If the relay is disconnected from voltage supply Vx or if a voltage supply interruption occurs
in while the relay is in stand-by (no protection function has tripped), the states of the output
relays are as follows:
After the auxiliary voltage supply has been applied, the state of the output relay P1
(terminals: 13-14) depends on the selected mode of switch control:
(i)
circuit breaker mode (P1 set to 0 in the menu
(ii)

): P1 is open
(iii) contactor with RS485 mode (P1 set to 2 in the menu): P1 is open (CU)*
The state of output relays P2 and P3 (CU)* does not change after the voltage supply has
been applied (the output contacts remain open).
The state of output relay P4 (CU)* (change-over contacts 41-42-44) after the voltage supply
has been applied depends on its configuration in the menu, (

NOTE:
3.5.2.2
Output relays states on applying auxiliary voltage supply Vx may be

different if any of the protection functions tripped before the voltage
interruption (see section 10 for details).
Switching the P211 to OFF-LINE mode

It is possible to change the relay settings only in if it is in OFF-LINE mode. When switching
the relay's operation mode to OFF-LINE, the protection tripping states are reset, and all
protection fonctions are latched. The relay status is kept thus until it is switched again to

NOTE!
Entering the edit mode of the setting module will block all the
protection functions, and reset their trip states.

Configuring the relay
3.6.1
Selecting a control switch - control procedures

There are three operation modes to which the relay may be configured in terms of
cooperation with a control switch. An operation mode is selected by configuring output relay
P1 (terminals 13-14), output relay P2 (terminals 23-24), input V1 (terminals V1-C) (CU)* and
input V2 (terminals V2-C) (CU)*. The available options are: "circuit-breaker" mode,
"contactor" mode and contactor with RS485" mode (contactor controlled via input V1 or
RS485") (CU)*.
3.6.1.1
"circuit-breaker" mode
(P1 set to 0 in the menu
):
If P1 is set to operate in "circuit-breaker" mode, then any protection trip set to trip the relay or
a trip command sent via the RS485 link will make the P1 output relay switch over for a period
of time 0.5 s (BCU)*.
Closing of the circuit-breaker is initiated via the P2 output relay, therefore, when closing is
controlled by the MiCOM P211 output relay P2 should be set to "close circuit-breaker" mode.
).
P211/EN M/A31
Technical Manual
Page 24/60
MiCOM P211
Closing of the circuit breaker is triggered via:

(i)
input V1-C, if it is set to remote or local CB close mode) (V1 set to 0 in the menu
) (CU)*,
(ii)
close command sent from a system via the RS485 communication link (BCU)*
When initiating the closure of the circuit-breaker, output relay P2 (terminals 23-24) is closed
for
a
period
of
0.5s.
It is only possible to close the circuit-breaker if the trip-signalling LED has previously been
reset, which prevents multiple attempts to close the circuit-breaker when a fault is present.
NOTE:
In "circuit breaker" mode, the P2 latching option should be switched
off (P2c set to 0 in the menu
).
Otherwise it will remain closed until it is reset.

3.6.1.2
Protection-contactor mode

This control mode is meant for applications where a contactor is the control switch and is not
intended to be triggered via the RS485 port.
In this mode it is recommended to use the standard contactor control arrangement. Upon
applying auxiliary voltage supply Vx the contacts of output relay P1 are closed. This allows
closing the contactor. The operation of any protection configured to trip makes the contacts
of output relay P1 open, and so does it for the contactor. P1 is kept open until output relays
tripping states and indicating LEDs are reset.
This can be done by means of:
(i)
the front panel keypad
(ii)
binary input S1-S2 (if configured to reset of LEDs and latching mode: the relevant
value is set to 0 in the menu

(iii) the RS485 communication link (BCU)*.
After the relay has been reset, the output contacts of relay P1 close again, thus allowing the
contactor to be closed again.
3.6.1.3
Bay terminal-contactor mode (CU)*
(P1 set to "2"
).
This mode is meant for applications where control operations are to be performed through
the RS485 communication link or/and by means of an external switching contact.
Technical Manual
P211/EN M/A31
MiCOM P211
Page 25/60
Thus input V1-C must be set to:local CB close mode
(V1 set to 0 in the menu

"CB/contactor state" mode
(V2 set to 0 in the menu
), and input V2-C must be set to:
).
After auxiliary voltage supply Vx has been applied the state of output relay P1 (13-14) does
not change (the contacts remain open), as when the "contactor" mode is selected.
Closing of the contactor (P1) is initiated by:
(i)
applying auxiliary supply voltage to binary input V1-C;
(ii)
sending close command from the system, through communication link RS485.
It is only possible to close the contactor if the trip-signalling LED has previously been reset,
which prevents unwanted closing after a protection trip. Once the closing operation is
initiated, the contacts (13-14) of output relay P1 close for 150 ms. Afterwards the status of
the contactor, which auxiliary contacts control the relay's V2-C input is checked. If the
contactor is closed (high state at V2-C input), then output relay P1 remains closed.
NOTE:
Tripping by any protection function will instantaneously de-energize

output relay P1, regardless of the operating state of the relay (tripping
has a higher priority than closing).
Contactor tripping can be performed through:

(i)
opening of the contactor control circuit (external OFF switch). If the circuit is open, the
contactor is de-energized. This process is monitored by the relay's V2-C input, which is
configured to represent the switching state. If the input's state changes from high to
low, then output relay P1 will instantaneously de-energize;
(ii)
trip command sent via the RS485 communication link, which makes the contacts of
output relay P1 (13-14) open;
(iii) trip of any protection set to trip mode.

3.6.2
Configuration procedure for the P211's global settings
The relay's global settings are configured in the menu column:
- the current operation mode of the relay is set in this cell. ON-LINE all protection functions are active. OFF-LINE - all protection functions are blocked and it is
possible to modify the relay's settings.
- where the relay is connected via external CTs, this cell is used to set
the transformer ratio for phase currents. The ratio can be selected within a range from 1 to
9998, in steps of 1. E.g., for an external CT ratio of 200 A/5 A, the value to be entered will
be 40. It is critical for the correct measurement and display of phase currents in primary
values that the ratio is correctly calculated and entered.
NOTE:
Changing the CT ratio does not affect the protection settings, which
always use secondary values.
P211/EN M/A31
Technical Manual
Page 26/60
MiCOM P211
- where the relay is connected to an external neutral transformer (core

balanced CT or Holmgreen arrangement), this cell is used to set the transformer ratio for
earth faults (BC)*. The ratio can be selected within a range from 1 to 9998, in steps of 1.
E.g., for an external CT ratio: 75 A/1 A, the value to be entered will be 75. It is critical for the
correct measurement and display of the earth current in primary values that the ratio is
correctly calculated and entered.
NOTE:
Changing the CT ratio does not affect the protection settings, which
always use secondary values.
- this cell is used to assign a network address to the relay (BCU)*. Up

to 32 P211 relays can be connected to one RS485 link. To ensure that the communication
link between the network and the relays is secure and reliable, and that each relay is clearly
identified within the network, a unique address must be assigned to each relay. The address
can be selected from 1 to 255.
- the transmission rate is set in this cell (BCU)*. It is important to

select this value correctly to allow communication with the relay via the RS485 port. The
transmission rates to choose from are (1.2 - 19.2) kbps.
- this cell is used to choose the data bytes order.

0 is the order pertaining to the S&R Modbus and P20 series
1 is the order used in firmware versions below 6.A
See P211 Modbus Database
- a password can be activated and modified in this cell.

3.6.3
Star/delta control logic
Switching between star and delta connections is done via output relay P2. To enable this
function, option 4 should be selected in column Set 3:
The configuration of the star / delta control logic is done in the menu column:
Technical Manual
P211/EN M/A31
MiCOM P211
Page 27/60
- this cell is used to globally set the function:

0 - disabled
1 - enabled during motor start-up and during normal motor operation (economizer)
2 - enabled only during motor start-up
- if this option is selected (control logic enabled only during motor
start-up), the parameters in the next cells of the
column must be set:
- time period, when the motor operates in a star arrangement, during

start-up
- time period, between star and delta arrangement during switching
- time criteria for the detection of the motor's standstill state. This
indicates a time period during which the motor's phase current is less than 10% of its
nominal value, in order to initiate the star / delta start-up procedure again
- it is possible to allow star / delta switching not only during the motor's
start-up but also during its normal operation (economizer option). This means that if a phase
current value drops below a set threshold, switching over from a delta to a star arrangement
will occur, after a user-defined time-delay. On the other hand, if the current exceeds the set
threshold, switching over from a star to a delta arrangement will occur, after a user-defined
time-delay.
The economizers parameters are set in the following cells:
- time-delay of delta to star switchover after the phase current value

has dropped below the set threshold
- time-delay for star to delta switchover, after the phase current value
has exceeded the set threshold.

3.6.3.1
Inputs and outputs configuration
Inputs and outputs are configured in the menu columns:
and
(CU)*
Inputs and outputs are configured in the cells below:
- output relay P1 configuration. A control switch and the means of

control can be selected here.
0 circuit breaker mode. Trip control is done by closing the P1 contacts, for a period of
time when protection functions operate. The minimum duration of the trip signal is 0.5s.
The energized relay is not latched.
1 protection-contactor mode in the standard control arrangement. This option does not
allow tripping of a contactor through the RS485 communication link.
Once auxiliary voltage supply Vx is applied, the contacts of output relay P1 close.
Tripping by any protection function will make P1 contacts open and remain in that state
until it is reset from the front panel keypad or through the adequately configured input
S1-S2. Reset of the energized output relay P1 can also be done through the RS485
link (BCU)*.
2 bay terminal-contactor mode (CU)*.
Applying auxiliary voltage supply Vx to the relay does not change the state of output
relay P1. If voltage is applied to an input assigned to a close function or if a close
command is sent via RS485, then P1 contacts close, and are kept in that state until a
trip command is sent via RS485 or until the contactor opens (if the contactor's coil
circuit is opened).
- output relay P2 configuration.

0 trigger of any protection on trip. P2 contacts are energized if current protection
functions (PTC excluded) set to trip are triggered. (trigger of: I>>, I>, I<, Io>, , if set to

function (PTC included) set to trip P1 issues a trip signal, without external TSTP
protection (via configured input V2-C: 6);
2 alarm (warning signal) of any protection set to alarm. P2 contacts are energized if any
protection function set to send a warning signal issues a trip signal;

5 - (BCU)* - remote or local CB close - P2 contacts are used as an output relay in the
circuit breaker operation mode to issue a close circuit breaker control signal. When
the CB is closed through the RS485 communication link or an adequately configured
input of the relay, P2 contacts are closed for 0.5 s.
NOTE:
If P2 is set to option 5, and a close command is initiated, then output

relay P2 is also energized when a contactor is selected as a switch.
Thus, when protection-contactor mode is selected, P2 can be
configured to any option except 5.
6 - delayed opening based on current criteria. Delayed drop-off timer function (option 5 for
the
A version). If the current exceeds threshold set in cell

NOTE:
If P2 is set to option "5", and a close command is initiated, then output

relay P2 is also energized when a contactor is selected as a switch.
Therefore, when the "contactor" mode is selected, P2 can be
configured to any option except 5.
7 - close CB by reacceleration or close command. The action is similar to item 6 but the

In some particuliar applications, it is necessary to detect interruptions in the motor's power
supply and measure their duration. If a supply interruption is not longer than a set drop-off
time period, then self-starting of the motor is permitted (emergency restart). This function is
based on the phase current measurement and is executed by output relays P2 or P3, if they
are assigned to the drop-off function. If the current's value exceeds the current threshold
(set in the cell
, for example 10% of Ib), output relay P2 (or P3) is energized

immediately. If the current drops below the threshold, for example 10% of Ib, then relay P2
(or P3) will be de-energized after a set drop-off time period.

LED indicators
There are several LED indicators on the front panel of the MiCOM P211: I>>, I>, I<, Io>,
PTC, , L1, L2, L3, [%], [s] and a 4-digit display. If a protection function is set to trip and it
issues a trip signal, then the respective LED (I>>, I>, I<, Io>, PTC, or ) lights up, and
remains lit until the trip signal is reset.
If a protection function is set to send a warning signal, then the respective LED is
extinguished when the fault which triggered the protection has been cleared.
I>, I>>, I<, Io LEDs:
(i)
a flashing LED indicates that the respective protection has been triggered,
(ii)
a constant illumination of a LED indicates that the respective protection has tripped
(triggering period exceeded a set time-delay)
NOTE:
I< is blocked while the motor is starting. This state is indicated by the
LED flashing in a particular way: the LED remains extinguished for a
longer time, then emits a couple of short flashes and cycle is
repeated.
LED:
(i)
the flashing LED indicates that the current unbalance of the motor's feeders has
exceeded the set threshold, therefore it also applies to unbalance conditions due to the
loss of a phase.
(ii)
a constant illumination of the LED indicates that the protection against unbalance / loss
of phase has tripped.
PTC LED:
the constant illumination of the LED indicates that:
(i)
he temperature has exceeded the PTC trip threshold or the T1 - T2 terminals have been
opened. The reason for the trip

Resetting of protection trip states

NOTE:
If the the relay is disconnected from voltage supply Vx or if voltage supply
interruption occurs after one of the relay's protection functions has
tripped, then the relay's state is recorded. When the voltage supply is
restored, the LED corresponding to the protection function which has
tripped lights up, and the output relays switch over to the states
preceeding the voltage interruption (depending on the selected
configuration set for the relay), that is:
(i)
P1 state is restored, if it is set to the protection-contactor mode;
(ii)
P2 or/and P3 or/and P4 states are restored if they are set to latch

upon energizing
Resetting LEDs: I>>, I>, I<, Io>, PTC, , and output relays set to latch
upon energizing is only possible if the cause of their energizing
ceases.
NOTE:
If a protection function set to signal an alarm is triggered, the

respective LED lights up. If the cause of the alarm ceases, then the
LED lights off automatically.
There are several ways of resetting the LEDs which indicate
protection states set to trip and relays states, which energized states
are latched:
(i)
close terminals S1-S2 for a short instant of time if the input is

assigned to a reset function (S1-S2 input set to option 0);
(ii)
manual reset from the relay's keypad.

RECEIPT OF RELAYS
Upon receipt, relays should be examined immediately to ensure no external damage has
been sustained in transit. If damage has been sustained, a claim should be made to the
transport contractor and Schneider Electric should be promptly notified.
Relays that are supplied unmounted and not intended for immediate installation should be
returned to their protective polythene bags and delivery carton. Section 6 of P211/EN IN
gives more information about the storage of relays.

HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

A persons normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several
thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling
electronic circuits can cause serious damage that, although not always immediately
apparent, will reduce the reliability of the circuit. The relays electronic circuits are protected
from electrostatic discharge when housed in the case. Do not expose them to risk by
removing the front panel or printed circuit boards unnecessarily.
Each printed circuit board incorporates the highest practicable protection for its
semiconductor devices. However, if it becomes necessary to remove a printed circuit board,
the following precautions should be taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for
which the relay has been designed and manufactured.
Before removing a printed circuit board, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic
potential as the equipment by touching the case.
Handle analog input modules by the front panel, frame or edges of the circuit boards.
Printed circuit boards should only be handled by their edges. Avoid touching the electronic
components, printed circuit tracks or connectors.
Do not pass the module to another person without first ensuring you are both at the same
electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
Place the module on an anti-static surface, or on a conducting surface that is at the same
potential as you.
If it is necessary to store or transport printed circuit boards removed from the case, place
them individually in electrically conducting anti-static bags.
In the unlikely event that you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of
a relay in service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist
strap. Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500 k to 10 M. If a wrist
strap is not available you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent a build-up
of electrostatic potential. Instrumentation which may be used for making measurements
should also be earthed to the case whenever possible.
More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in
BS EN 100015: Part 1: 1992. It is strongly recommended that detailed investigations on
electronic circuitry or modification work should be carried out in a special handling area such
as described in the British Standard document.

STORAGE
If relays are not to be installed immediately upon receipt, they should be stored in a place
free from dust and moisture in their original cartons. Where de-humidifier bags have been
included in the packing they should be retained.
Care should be taken on subsequent unpacking that any dust, which has collected on the
carton, does not fall inside. In locations of high humidity the carton and packing may
become impregnated with moisture and the de-humidifier crystals will lose their efficiency.
Prior to installation, relays should be stored at a temperature of between 25C to +70C
(-13F to +158F).

P211/EN M/A31
Page 51/60
UNPACKING
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays so that none of the parts are
damaged and additional components are not accidentally left in the packing or lost. Ensure
that any Users CDROM or technical documentation is NOT discarded this should
accompany the relay to its destination substation.
Relays must only be handled by skilled persons.
The site should be well lit to facilitate inspection, clean, dry and reasonably free from dust
and excessive vibration.

RELAY MOUNTING
MiCOM relays are dispatched either individually or as part of a panel/rack assembly.
Individual relays are normally supplied with an outline diagram showing the dimensions for
panel cutouts and hole centers. This information can also be found in the product
publication.
Secondary front covers can also be supplied as an option item to prevent unauthorized
changing of settings and alarm status on DIN rail models.
The design of the relay is such that the fixing holes in the mounting flanges are only
accessible when the access covers are open and hidden from sight when the covers are
closed.
If a P991 or MMLG test block is to be included, it is recommended that, when viewed from
the front, it be positioned on the right-hand side of the relay (or relays) with which it is
associated. This minimizes the wiring between the relay and test block, and allows the
correct test block to be easily identified during commissioning and maintenance tests.
There are two types of case available: 35 mm DIN rail or flush mounted.
Rail mounted version:
Clip the relay onto a rail (no tool needed). In order to detach it from the rail use a narrow, flat
screwdriver, insert its tip into the dedicated aperture at the base of the relay and push the
screwdriver handle upwards to release the spring bolt.
Flush mounted version:
Make a cut-out in mounting plate according to Fig. 7. Then insert the relay into it. Fit the
fastening elements (see Fig. 1) into the slots in the sides of the case, and keep fastening the
screws until the relay is securely fixed to the plate. To withdraw the relay, losen the screws
until the fastening element can be removed. The relay can then be withdrawn from the cutout in the mounting plate.

RELAY WIRING
This section serves as a guide to selecting the appropriate cable and connector type for
each terminal on the MiCOM relay.
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT, THE
USER SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTENTS OF THE SAFETY
GUIDE SFTY/4L M/G11 OR LATER ISSUE, OR THE SAFETY AND
TECHNICAL DATA SECTION OF THE TECHNICAL MANUAL AND ALSO
THE RATINGS ON THE EQUIPMENT RATING LABEL.
9.1
Medium and heavy duty terminal block connections

Key:
Heavy duty terminal block:
CT circuits, terminals 1-6
Medium duty:
All other terminal blocks
The following minimum wire sizes are recommended:

Current Transformers
2.5 mm2
Auxiliary Supply, Vx
1.5 mm2
EIA(RS)485 Port
See separate section
S1-S2, T1-T2 terminals
Screened wires 1.0 mm2
Other Circuits
1.0 mm2
Heavy duty terminals in Flush case (1-6 terminals):

Threaded M3 terminals, with wire protection for conductor cross-section:
0.2 to 6 mm2 single-core
0.2 to 4 mm2 finely stranded
Phase current inputs in rail mounting case:

The cables, which pass through the phase CTs built into the P211 must be insulated
Earth fault input (K-L terminals):
0.2 to 2.5 mm2 finely stranded
Global Input/Output Terminals

For power supply, opto and contact inputs, output contacts and COM rear communications.
0.2 to 2.5 mm2 finely stranded
Connections to the equipment must only be made using single strand wire or stranded wire
with the use of insulated crimp terminals.
For PTC (T1-T2 terminals) and SIn (S1-S2 terminals) inputs screened cable must be
used to connect these ports to other equipment.
P211/EN M/A31
Technical Manual
Page 54/60
MiCOM P211
The screen of each cable must be earthed at one end only and must be continuous. Multiple
earthing of the screen can cause circulating currents to flow along the screen, which would
induce the noise and also could be unsafe. To minimize noise pick-up it is recommended
that low voltage cables are kept close to earthed metal casing and avoid areas of high
electromagnetic and radio interference. The low voltage cables should not be routed
adjacent to or in the same conduit as high voltage or current cables.
The wire used for all connections to the terminal blocks, except the EIA(RS)485 port, should
have a minimum voltage rating of 300 Vrms.
It is recommended that the auxiliary supply wiring be protected by a 16A maximum rated
high rupture capacity (HRC) fuse of type NIT or TIA. For safety reasons, current transformer
circuits must never be fused. Other circuits should be appropriately fused to protect the wire
used.
EIA(RS)485 port
Connections to the EIA(RS)485 port are made using ring terminals. It is recommended that
a 2-core screened cable is used with a maximum total length of 1000 m or 200nF total cable
capacitance. A typical cable specification would be:
Each core:
16/0.2 mm copper conductors

PVC insulated
Nominal conductor area:
0.5 mm2 per core
Screen:
Overall braid, PVC sheathed
See SCADA Communications (P211/EN CT) for detailed discussion on setting up an

EIA(RS)485 bus.
The RS485 communications port must used screened cable to connect this port to other
equipment to maintain insulation requirements.
9.2
Watchdog contacts
Watchdog (self-monitoring) contacts are provided in numerical relays to indicate the health of
the relay. Schneider Electric strongly recommend that these contacts are hardwired into the
substations automation system, for alarm purposes.
