Introduction

The relays described in this application guide fall into the following categories:

Midos A wide range of self-contained relays each comprising module, case, terminals and cover, conforming
to IEC255 and BS142 specifications. All modules are of uniform height (178mm) compliant with
IEC297, allowing schemes to be built up from separately supplied Midos relays.

K range Midos A range of numerical relays featuring communications facilities, programmable inputs and outputs,
internal instrumentation and fault records. Disturbance and event records are available when used with
an external PC. Dual powered versions are available for operation from an insecure ac voltage supply
and the line CTs. K range relays are housed in Midos cases.

L series A range of digital and numerical relays providing comprehensive protection schemes. The relays
feature communications and instrumentation facilities. They are housed in full width modular cases,
compatible with Midos.

S series A range of static and microprocessor based relays, providing comprehensive protection and signalling
schemes.

Drawout cases A conventional housing conforming to BS142, used for electromechanical and first generation static
relay designs.

The remainder of the range is housed in special cases, appropriate to each particular relay.

As a part of the application description, the devices have been given numbers. These numbers are based on the IEEE
system, incorporated into the ANSI standard C37-2-1956.
