Introduction and Application
The motor protection relay MRM3-2 offers reliable protection for LV and MV motors which are either operated via power contactors or power circuit breakers.
The following functions are integrated into this relay:
Overload protection acc. to IEC 255-8 in consideration of the initial load factor (thermal image)
Definite undercurrent protection
Definite time overcurrent protection (DMT)
Inverse time overcurrent protection (IMT) with selectable trip characteristics
Short-circuit protection
Load unbalance supervision with definite or inverse
trip characteristics
Earth-fault detection with suppression of harmonics
The MRM3-2 recognises the Start-Up and Motor
Running phase.
Motors with a limited number of starts can be controlled by the start limiting function of the relay.
The earth-fault supervision is either realised in Holmgreen connection or by means of a core-type current
transformer.
The motor can be stopped in delayed or undelayed
mode via digital inputs.
The MRM3-2 is available with rated currents of 1A or
5A.

Inputs
3.1.1 Analog Inputs

The analog input signals of the phase currents IL1 (B3 B4), IL2 (B5 - B6), IL3 (B7 - B8) and the earth current IE
(B1 - B2) are fed to the protection device via separate
input CTs.
The current measuring quantities are galvanical decoupled, analogously filtered, and then fed to the analog/digital converter.
3.1.2 Output Relays

The MRM3-2 has 5 output relays. Two of these relays
with two change-over contacts and three relays with
one change-over contact each are used for signalling.
The protective functions can be freely allocated except

Analog part
The alternating currents injected by the CTs are converted into galvanical isolated voltages via input
transmitters and burden in the analog part.
The effect of inductive and capacitive coupled interferences are suppressed by RC analog filters. The measuring voltages are fed to the analog inputs (A/D transformer) of the micro-processor and then converted into
digital signals by means of sample and hold circuits.
These digitised values are then used for further processing. The measuring values are acquired at fn = 50
Hz (fn = 60 Hz) with a sampling frequency of 800 Hz
(960 Hz), and thus the instantaneous values of the
measured quantities are acquired every 1.25 ms
(1.04 ms).
3.4
Digital part
The protection relay is equipped with a powerful micro-controller, being the core element of the protection
unit. With this micro-controller all tasks are completely
digitally processed, from discretisation of the measuring quantities to protective tripping.
With the protection program, stored in the program

storage (EPROM), the micro-processor processes the
voltages applied to the analog inputs and from this
calculates the fundamental harmonics of the current.
Digital filtering (DFFT-Discrete Fast-Fourier-Transformation) for suppression of harmonics as well as suppression of DC components during the short-circuit is used
in the process.
The micro-processor compares the existing current with
the threshold value (setting value) stored in the parameter storage (EEPROM) and up-dates the thermal image.
If a current exceeds the threshold value for longer than
the trip delay or if the thermal image exceeds its rated
value, a fault signal occurs. Dependent on their settings, the output relays pick up as well. When setting
the parameters, all setting values are read-in by the
micro-processor and saved in the parameter storage.
The program flow is continuously monitored by the incorporated "Hardware-Watchdog". Processor failure is
signalled by the Selfsupervision output relay.

Working Principle
4.1
Start Recognition
The MRM3-2 monitors the flow of the current from

which the following operational conditions of the motor are gathered.
STOP
START
RUNNING
Figure 4.1: Different Start-Up Behaviour of Motors
STOP - Condition:
If no current can be measured (I < Stop threshold),
STOP conditions are recognised after expiration of the
stop time.
Start/Stop Threshold
This threshold is fixed at 2% of IN
Stop time:
The Stop time is adjustable in order to tolerate
a brief off-time of the current flow (e.g. changeover Star/Delta) from the START or RUNNING
conditions. STOP is only indicated if the current
was under 2% IN for longer than the stop time.
Based on this time the running down period
can be considered in a certain way for the LED
indication.
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
START-Condition:
START is only recognised if the previous condition was
STOP and the motor current has exceeded the start
threshold. If the STOP or RUNNING conditions are
recognised, the START condition is terminated.
Overload Threshold:
This corresponds to the permissible thermal continuous current k x IB and is adjusted by the parameter of the thermal image.
Starter Recognition Time:
This adjustable time has only to be extended for
special start procedures in order to prevent that
the RUNNING conditions are indicated too
early in advance.
No exceeding of the start threshold during pony motor start-up or when soft starters are used.
Multistage resistance start where the start threshold is
either exceeded several times or not at all.
The time is running from the instance the start threshold
is exceeded. RUNNING is only accepted by the supervision after the time has elapsed or the overload
threshold is undershot. If the overload threshold is not a
clear criterion, the time has to be set at least for so
long that the longest regular start procedure is covered.
RUNNING can be recognised in different ways:
If the START has been successfully completed. This
is the case when the motor current has dropped
below k x IB and the start recognition time has
elapsed. (direct start)
or
if the motor is connected across several resistance

steps, it is possible that the start threshold is
passed through repeatedly. RUNNING conditions
are recognised when the start recognition time has
run out after the last step and a current has settled
between 2% IN and k x IB t.
(Resistance start).
if after STOP a motor current has settled between
2% IN and k x IB and the start recognition time
has elapsed. The overload threshold has not necessarily to be exceeded.
(soft start)
If the Motor Running input was activated but the
overload threshold is not (or not any longer) exceeded. (See Chapter 5.12.3 )
With the recognition of STOP, the RUNNING conditions have ceased to exist.
Figure 4.2: Flow Diagram of the Start Conditions
4.1.1 Criteria for Blocking the Start

Number of monitored starts :
The MRM3-2 is equipped with a flexible supervision
element which can limit the sequence of possible
starts.
The protective element can either be tied to the thermal

image or be manually defined by the number of starts
and cycle duration.
A start should be prevented if it is obvious that it is

likely to be interrupted due to overload so that in total
the down-time can be curtailed. If a start is not recommendable at a certain time (with the motor
switched off), the MRM3-2 activates an allocated output relay until the waiting time has elapsed. Irrespectively of the adjustment of this element, the thermal image is always activated and shuts the motor down as
soon as the thermal overload threshold is reached (due
to a start or overload).
10
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
Number of Starts/Cycle Duration

These two are defined as parameters.
Example:
The motor should be allowed to be started three times
an hour:
This means that in theory the motor can be started
every 20 minutes (= 60 min/3).
From this it can be concluded that the load generated
by the start procedure has decayed after these 20
minutes. If the motor would be successfully started
three time in quick succession, an immediate fourth
start would overload the motor. The start blocking relay would be activated and the next start would only
be advisable after about 20 minutes. The protective
element ensures that the start sequence is kept within
safe intervals but that at least three starts are allowed
during the given time frame. If the intervals between
each start are long enough then even more than three
starts an hour might be possible because the motor
was able to cool down in the mean time. The delay
can be firmly defined (through start blocking time) or
be automatically ascertained (VARI ) until the 20 minutes given in the example are over. The state of the
thermal image has no influence on the delay.
Figure 4.4: Relation Start Period/Start Blocking Time with

firm Start Blocking Time
Thermal Image
A start is always possible as long as there is enough
thermal reserve for a start. This start limitation is a dynamic one and is orientated on the data the thermal
image is parameterised with. For this the MRM3-2 detects the average thermal load of the latest starts. With
the motor shut down, the start blocking relay is activated for the time when there is not enough thermal reserve in the storage through cooling down to enable a
new start.
Figure 4.3: Relation Start Period/Start Blocking Time
Figure 4.5: Start Blocking through Thermal Image
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
11
4.2
Starting time
With certain applications it is possible that the starting

phase of the engines is extended. One reason for this
insufficient terminal voltage which may be caused by
the high starting current or by a high grid load in general. When starting under load, the starting phases
must not be too long because this could overheat the
motor.
For these applications the MRM3-2 offers a variable
maximum starting time. It refers to the rated starting
current of the motor I_Start. If the actual starting current
(e.g. at 80% UN) is lower than the rated starting current, the starting time is extended automatically.
Q = I x ts
The supplied heat energy is equal to the square value
of the current times the starting time. If the starting current decreases, the starting time can be extended. This
time can be extended by a maximum of twice the set
value. If the actual starting current is higher than its
rated value, the max. starting time decreases (refer to
Fig. 7).
4.3
Thermal Image
The fed thermal energy Q and the temperature of

the motor when in steady state condition is proportional to the square of the phase current (e.g. ohmic
losses and iron losses):
Q I oder
In the thermal image this temperature is described by

the temperature equivalent (in %). For loading with
the maximal permissible operational current k x IB , the
motor reaches the maximal permissible temperature B.
if it has been in steady state condition for a certain
time. For this load the thermal equivalent is defined to
100% = trip threshold:
Stationary final value:
(%) =
12
(k IB )2
*100%
Note:
When testing the thermal image it has to be taken into
consideration that in case k x IB is slightly exceeded
(= long tripping time), a small current change within
the permissible measuring tolerances can cause a high
dispersion of the tripping time (clearly by more than
1%). This is related to the slope of the trip characteristic. Furthermore it is important to start from the same initial level of the image when testing. Otherwise the
tripping times may be shorter than expected.
Automatic Reset
During the starting process the MRM3-2 observes the
rise of the thermal image. From the average of the last
two successful starts the unit detects the start load. After
overload conditions, the thermal image is only released when the motor has cooled down far enough
to deal with the demand of a new start.
4.4
Requirement on the Main Current

Transformers
The CTs chosen have a considerable influence on the

accuracy of the protective system. In order to select the
right type of transformer, the requirements and conditions on site have to be considered carefully.
Type of Transformer
Current transformers have to be designed as protection
transformers (P).
Overcurrent Factor:
To ensure precise operation of the protection unit even
under full short-circuit current, the chosen transformers
must not saturate in this current range. This means that
the overload factor must be sufficiently large.
Class
For the nominal range or the lower load range it has
to be taken into account that not only the basic accuracy of the MRM3-2 has to be considered but also the
transformer accuracy. This applies especially for cases
where the Holmgreen circuit is used and for low earth
fault currents in isolated networks.
Power Rating
The transformer must be rated sufficiently to cover all
measuring instruments and protective devices connected as well as the losses on the transformer measuring line without becoming overloaded.

This parameter makes it possible to present the indications of phase current and earth-fault current separately, i.e as primary or secondary measuring value.
Currents in the kiloampere range are indicated with
the symbol of unit of measurement k (kilo) as three-digit
point.
Example:
A 1500/5 A CT is used with a primary current of
1380 A. The parameter for the CT primary current is
given in kiloampere.
The parameter is set to 1.50 (kA). Then 1K38
is displayed as I-measurement.
If the setting is set to sec., 0.92 x IN. is displayed as I-measurement.
Note:
The settings for the pick-up value are adjusted to a multiple of the secondary rated CT current.
The settings for phase and earth current transformers
can be done separately.
5.3.5 Indication of pickup

If the momentary current drops below the pickup
threshold, e.g. I>, after the relay was activated and
there was no tripping, then the activation is signalled
by short flashing of LED I>. The LED keeps flashing until
the <RESET> push-button is pressed. By setting the parameter to FLSH/NOFL, flashing can be suppressed.
5.3.6 Parameter Set Changeover Switch (P2)

By means of this switch two different parameter sets
can be activated. The changeover procedure can be
realised either by the software or via the digital input
(A2). If the parameter set changeover switch is adjusted to SET2, the active parameter set can be
changed to SET1 via the external input. If the
changeover switch is set to SET1, then it can be
changed to SET2 via the digital input.
The LED P2 on the front cover always indicates which
of the parameter sets is active. Furthermore it is possible to indicate via an assigned output relay that parameter set 2 is active.
During the setting procedure the LED P2 gives off a yellow light.
5.3.2 Rated -Frequency

The FFT-Algorithm used for the data acquisition needs
the set point of the rated frequency, i.e. 50 Hz or
60 Hz, for correct digital filtering of the earth current.

Protection Parameters
5.4.4 Heating Period Constant W and

Cooling-Down Time Factor C
5.4.1 Thermal Overload Protection (k x IB)

With the product of setting values k x IB the continuously permissible maximal current of the motor is adjusted. At this current the thermal image reaches
100 % after a long period i.e. the trip threshold.
With IB normally the rated current of the motor is adjusted and with k an overload factor (e.g. 1.05)
It is also possible to adjust the maximal continuous current directly, if k = 1 was selected.
5.4.2 Warning/Tripping with thermal

Overload
Sometimes it is necessary that the thermal protection
beyond the 100 % limit does not lead to shut-down
(e.g. fire extinguisher pump). For this reason it is possible to differentiate between tripping and warning. In
case of the warning function the display does not
show "TRIP". The relay assigned to this step responds
and should therefore be configured onto a different relay than the one leading to tripping.
5.4.3 Tripping Delay for Thermal

Overload
The starting current of motors is normally many times
higher than the rated current. In that case the threshold
for recording the thermal overload k*IB> is exceeded.
The warning relay responds and the LEDs signal excitation. Excitation signalling remains active beyond the
starting phase as well. Since starting of the motor is a
normal process and not a malfunction, it is possible at
this point to delay detection of the excitation for thermal overload. If the motor is overloaded often and this
is permissible for a short period (e.g. breakers) it may
also make sense to operate this overload with delay
action. This delay is also effective in motor
OPERATING mode and has no effect on the tripping
behaviour of the MRM3-2.
Note:
In this case, the signalling of the LED fulfills a special
function: The excitation is always indicated without delay. If the excitation limit value is under-run within the
delay time, there will be no flash function (see
chapter 5.3.5).
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
With this time constant the thermal image is adapted

to the heating behaviour of the motor. It is the time
constant of an e-function.
Normally the motor is cooling down with a slower
time constant. Parameter C is to be understood as a
factor. The cooling-down behaviour in the thermal
model proceeds with the time constant C x W. If
C = 1 is selected, then heating and cooling-down
proceed at an identical speed in the thermal image.
5.4.5 t2x and t6x Minimal Trip Time

During the Starting Process.
With this parameter the fastest trip time during the startup phase is limited for the thermal image. If the selected pick-up value k x IB is exceeded by two times
or six times, the characteristic breaks to definite time.
This prevents that a higher start current causes the
thermal image to overflow at the first instant. Normally
six times the value is selected. If not desired, the characteristic can be operated without breaking by setting
EXIT.
5.4.6 Phase Undercurrent Element (I<)

Running-dry protection/V-belt split
The MRM3-2 trips if after a successful start the current
lies below the adjusted current threshold for a definite
time. Undercurrent is only active during mode
RUNNING. The undercurrent element is also blocked
if the measured current lies below the STOP threshold
(see chapter 4.1). EXIT is set, then this element is
switched off.
The time delay for the undercurrent element is set to
seconds.
Note:
The time delay must not be set shorter than the STOP
time, otherwise every time the motor is stopped, an
undercurrent trip occurs.
15
5.4.7 Phase Overcurrent Element (I>)

When adjusting the pick-up value for the phase overcurrent element I>, an indicating value, referring to the
secondary rated current IN , is displayed. This element
is only active during mode RUNNING.
5.4.8 Trip Characteristics for the Phase

Overcurrent Element (I>+CHAR)
There are the following standard trip time characteristics available (see 7.4.6:
DEFT
NINV
VINV
EINV
RINV
LINV
Definite Time (definite time

overcurrent protection)
Normal inverse
Very inverse
Extremely inverse
RI-Inverse
Long term Inverse
5.4.9 Tripping Time or Time Factor for the

Phase Overcurrent Element (I>+t>)
Normally, after change of the trip characteristics, the
tripping time or the time factor also has to be changed
accordingly. In order to avoid an unsuitable combination between trip characteristics and tripping time or
time factor, the following measures are initiated by the
MRM3-2:
The LED for adjustment of the tripping time or time factor (I> + t>) starts to flash after the trip characteristics
have changed. By this warning signal the operator is
reminded to adjust the tripping time or time factor to
the changed operational mode or trip time characteristics. This warning signal keeps flashing until the tripping time or time factor are re-adjusted. If re-adjustment has not been done within 5 minutes (the time to
enable parameter setting), then the processor sets the
tripping time or time factor to the highest sensible
value (smallest possible tripping time ).
When adjusting to the Definite Time trip characteristic, the definite tripping time displayed is shown as
seconds (e.g. 0.35 = 0.35s). By pressing pushbuttons <+><-> this time can be changed step by step
in the range 0.04s 260s
When adjusting to the Inverse Time trip characteristics, the time factor (tI>) is displayed. This factor can
be changed also by push buttons <+><-> step by step
in the range 0.05 20.0.
16
If the tripping time or time factor are set to infinite long

(on the display EXIT is shown) then trip of the relay
overcurrent element is blocked. The
WARNING/ALARM function is still active. During this
time LEDs I> and t> are red.
5.4.10 Reset Mode for the Trip Characteristics in the Phase Current Path
(I>+CHAR+t>)
In order to ensure that the trip function is reliable even
with repeated error pulses, each of them shorter than
the set tripping time, the RESET mode for the trip characteristics can be changed over. With a setting of
60s the elapsed tripping time is frozen and is only
reset after 60s faultless operation. Should another fault
occur within these 60s, the tripping time counter remains in operation. With the setting _ 0s the counter
is immediately reset when the fault current is interrupted and it is restarted when the fault current has returned again.
5.4.11 Phase Short-Circuit Trip (I>>) and

(I>>+Start)
The short-circuit element has two threshold values and
two time delays. The first threshold value applies for
the mode RUNNING and the second one for mode
START.
Possible variations are:
During the start procedure the existing inrush current can be higher than the desired short-circuit
threshold during operation. e.g. direct start)
It is also possible that the slip rings are put at risk
especially during the start procedure so that for
START a more sensitive adjustment is required than
for RUNNING.
Both elements can be set to the same value so
there is no differentiation.
If it is set to EXIT then the respective element is
switched off.
Irrespectively of the selected trip characteristics for I>,
the short-circuit high-speed trip element I>> has a tripping time which does not depend on the current. This
time applies for both elements I>>START and I>>RUNNING.
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
5.4.12
Negative Phase Sequence
Load unbalance can, for example, be caused by a

phase failure or fault in a one motor winding.
Load unbalances give rise to negative phase sequence
currents in the stator, causing odd harmonics in the stator winding and even harmonics in the rotor winding.
Especially the rotor is endangered by this because
asymmetric conditions mean additional thermal stress
for the rotor winding and eddy currents are induced in
the solid iron of the rotor which can cause destruction
of the metal structure or even melting of the metal.
Within certain limits and by observing the ultimate
thermal strength of the motor, load unbalance is permissible, though. The details given by the motor manufacturer mostly refer to the negative phase sequence
system and thus can be programmed directly.
5.4.15
When adjusting the trip characteristics one of the following 7 abbreviations is displayed:
DEFT Definite Time (definite time overcurrent protection)
NINV Normal inverse (Type A)
VINV Very inverse (Type B)
EINV Extremely inverse (Type C)
RINV RI-Inverse
LINV
Long-term inverse
RXID
Special purpose characteristics
The displayed text can be changed by push-buttons
<+><-> . By pressing <ENTER> the required trip
characteristics is selected. The allocated LED IE> is red,
the LED CHAR green.
5.4.16
According to the method of Symmetric Components,
a rotating three-phase system can be sectionalised into
a positive phase sequence system, negative phase sequence system and a zero phase sequence system.
The current in the negative phase sequence system is
the measure for the load unbalance quantity. The effective value of the current of the negative phase sequence system I2 is calculated by the MRM3-2.

When adjusting the trip characteristics either DEFT

for definite trip characteristics is shown on the display or INVS for inverse trip characteristics. (see

The setting procedure outlined in chapter 5.4.5 applies here as well. The required value in the 0.01 x IN

5.4.14
Switching Over
Warning/Tripping
An earth fault can be parameterised as follows. After

the delay time has expired
a) the warning relay responds (warning)
b) the tripping relay responds (tripping)
The tripping values are stored in the fault recorder.
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
Tripping Time for the CB FailureProtection (CB+t>)
This protection is activated after a protective trip and it

monitors if all phase currents have dropped within the
set time tCBFP to <2% x IN . If not, CB failure is detected
and the allocated relay triggered. (CBFP= Circuit
Breaker Failure Protection).
5.4.19
External Trip (delayed)

(Trip+t>)
Via the digital input A8/D8 an external trip with time

delay can be activated. Trip is initiated if the <signal
existed for at least the set time. The external trip function can be allocated to a relay.
17
5.4.20
Trip Blocking in case of Excessive

Phase Current (Trip+Block)
This function is important where power contactors are

used and they are not designed to disconnect high
short-circuit currents. In such a case no function of the
MRM3-2 must initiate tripping. The trip function is then
allocated to a preceding protective element (e.g.
fuse).
Trip blocking is activated as soon as the set current is
exceeded. When this threshold is undershot, all function are released again.
If the circuit breakers used are able to disconnect the
short-circuit current to be expected, the function is set
to EXIT.
5.5
Start Supervision
The MRM3-2 can offer two start supervision methods:

Automatically by means of the thermal load
By a limited number of starts per time interval
VARI
A new start is possible after the remaining time of the
interval has run down.
Time Adjustment (s):
Restarts are blocked for the adjusted time.
5.5.4 Characteristic for the Starting Time

In some motor applications it may happen that the
supply voltage is lower than the rated value. Lower
rated values have lower starting currents and consequently longer starting times. The starting time can be
extended by selecting a characteristic. The setting
"DEFT" means that a maximum starting time is fixed.
The subsequent parameter "Rated starting current" is
not active. The setting "INVS" means that the maximum
starting time is variable. It is determined by the rated
starting current and the permissible starting time at
rated voltage (refer to Chapter 7.4.1).
5.5.5 Rated starting current I_Start
5.5.1 Duration of a Start Cycle (No.+Start)
The basis for calculating the maximum starting time is

the rated starting current I_Start of the motor at rated
voltage.
AUTO
If this mode is selected, a start is always possible if sufficient start reserves are available according to the
thermal image. This function operates dynamically on
the data of the previous starts (see chapter 4.1.1).
5.5.6 Maximal Start Time (Start+t>)
Time Adjustment
By this the interval of the permissible number of starts is
timed.
The number is defined in the next parameter.
EXIT
The element is de-energised.
5.5.2 Number of Starts per Cycle
(No.+Start)
This parameter is only visible if a time was selected
with the preceding parameter which defines the number of permissible starts during the respective interval.
5.5.3 Start Blocking Time (Start+Block+t>)
Exceedingly long acceleration can only be recognised

if the threshold k*IB is once overshot after the STOP
threshold was exceeded.
With the setting "DEFT"

The time meter for the max. start time is activated upon
exceeding of the threshold k*IB>. If the set time has
elapsed and the current lies (still or again) above the
START threshold, the start procedure is stopped. When
mode RUNNING is recognised, this element is deactivated until the next start attempt.
With the setting "INVS"
If the characteristic is selected for the maximum starting
time, this parameter is valued as rated starting
time/time multiplier ts and multiplied by the calculated
tripping time.
Example: If the starting current is lower than the rated
starting current by the factor 0.707, the maximum
starting time is doubled (refer to Chapter 7.4.1).
This parameter is only visible if a time was selected

(chapter 5.5.1). It defines the time for a new start
when the number of starts per interval was exceeded.
The following is possible:
18
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
5.5.7 Start-up recognition time or Motor

Running time
The start-up recognition time is a criterion for switching
over to OPERATION. The MRM3-e recognises the operating mode if the threshold IB*K> is fallen short of
and the start-up recognition time has expired. (refer to
Chap. 4.1)

5.9.3 Allocation of the Output Relays

The MRM3-2 has five output relays. The fifth output relay is an alarm relay for the self-supervision and its allocation is fixed; it is operated acc. to the closed circuit principle.
Output relays 1 - 4 can be freely allocated to the current functions either as alarm or trip relay; they are operated acc. to the open circuit principle. Allocation of
the output relays is similar to the parameter setting
method in the BLOCKING mode or RESET mode. T
The allocation mode is activated with the last actuation
of the <SELECT/RESET> push-button in the RESET
mode (as explained above).
Each of the protective functions has two states:
By pressing push-buttons <+> and <-> all possible

combinations can be realised. The selected allocation
can be saved by <ENTER> and subsequent entry of
the password.
Any allocation mode can be stopped by pressing the
<SELECT/RESET> button for a certain time (about 3s).
Note:
Coding plugs J2 and J3, described in the general
description MR- Digital Multifunctional Relay
have no function in the MRM3-2.
At the end of this description an Adjustment List
can be found in which the customer-specific adjustments can be filled-in.
Alarm
This state is active, as soon as the setting value of the
element is exceeded.
Trip
This state is active after the time of the trip delay has
elapsed.
The adjustment procedure is as follows:
Allocation of one or more of the 4 output relays
to Alarm or Trip of each of the protective functions.
Which of the function is just being processed is signalled by the LEDs.
In addition to the protective functions special-purpose
signals can be given by the relays:

Indication of the Fault Data
All fault events acquired by the relay are optically indicated on the front cover. For the MRM3-2 the four LEDs
(L1, L2, L3, I2; E) and the functional LEDs (>; IB>; I<;
I>, I>>, I2> and IE>) are provided. Not only fault signals are put out but also the activated protective function
is indicated. If, for instance, overcurrent occurs, the LEDs
assigned to the respective phases are flashing. LED I>
comes on also at the same time. After elapse of the tripping time the flashing LEDs change to permanent light.
5.10.4
Fault Memory
Besides the tripping values, the LED states are also

saved for fault indication.
Inquiry of the fault memory

When the <-> push-button is pressed during normal
measuring value indication, the fault data is displayed.
FLT1
last fault
FLT2
fault before last
etc.
By pressing <+> the respective fault can be selected.
During fault value indication FLT

it can be changed over to another fault data set by
pressing <+> or <->
it is displayed, which of the parameter sets was active during the event
the LEDs are flashing according to the stored pick-up
values/trip information, i.e. LEDs showing a permanent light when the trip occured, start to flash in order to indicate that is was a past fault condition.
Those LEDs, which were flashing when the trip occured, (element was actuated) are flashing briefly
the individual fault measuring values for the respective fault can be inquired by pressing
<SELECT/RESET>
If the relay has not been reset after tripping (TRIP is displayed), measuring values cannot be indicated.
The fault memory can be cleared by pressing the button
combination <SELECT/RESET> and <-> for about 3s. In
the display wait is shown.
Trigger signal for the fault memory

There are three trigger signals for the fault recorder
1. End of a starting phase,
2. A tripping signal,
3. End of a protection excitation in OPERATING mode
depending on which event has occurred, the following
values are recorded.
In case of actuation or tripping of the relay, the fault

values and times are stored in a voltage fail-safe way.
The MRM3-2 has a fault value memory covering up to
25 fault events. If this number is exceeded, the eldest
data set is then overwritten.

For erasure of the fault memory the push-button combination <SELECT/RESET> and <-> has to be pressed for
about 3 s. During the erasure procedure wait is displayed.
5.11.2
The MRM3-2 offers the following three ways to reset the

displayed indications as well as the output relay.
Reset of the Thermal Memory
It is possible to erase the thermal memory to 0%. By

pressing the push-button combination <SELECT/RESET>
and <+> for some time (about 3 s) the thermal memory
is reset to 0%.
IMPORTANT:
This function has to be used with extreme care. During
secondary tests it can be very useful to have always
constant start conditions. If, however, after overload
tripping the thermal image is reset in order to restart the
motor as quickly as possible, then there is the risk of
overloading the motor because it is still hot but the protective unit proceeds on the assumption that the motor is
cold.

5.12.3
Recognition of Motor Running

Condition
This input can be used if the motor runs without load

and does not need much current (I < 2% x IN). In such a
case the motor current may lie below the STOP threshold
and so recognition of the RUNNING conditions is not
secure. In order to maintain the RUNNING conditions,
voltage can be applied to this input by means of an
aux. contact of the CB. This is necessary so that all functions which depend on the RUNNING conditions can
operate faultless (e.g. I>> LAUF, I>, start counter etc.)
and the LEDs are signalling the correct motor status. In
such a case the underload element must not be used. (I<
must be set to EXIT)
5.12.4
Undelayed External Trip
A trip is immediately triggered if voltage is detected by

this input. The fault recorder is activated and the assigned output relay picks up.
5.12.5
Delayed External Trip
In principle this input has the same effect as the input for
undelayed trip, but a trip is only triggered if the input
signal was available during the entire adjusted delay
time.

Notes on Relay Tests and

Commissioning
6.1
Connection of the auxiliary voltage
To prevent destruction of the relay during tests the following has to be observed:
The aux. voltage supply of the relay must be within the
permissible ranges.
The test current must not exceed the thermal rating of
the measuring circuits.
The CTs must be connected properly.
All control and measuring circuits as well as the output
relays must be connected properly.
The voltage ranges of the digital inputs must be adjusted correctly.
Careful when the relay is installed:

The relay test is not a pure internal test. All the output relays will be energised! After starting test the selfsupervision relay releases first. Hereby a relay fault
could be adopted by a connected control gear.
Thereafter all other existing output relays will pick up
one after another. The reaction in the relevant
switchboard could be accordingly (e.g. trip of a priority
CB).
For further information please see Technical Data
6.2
Testing of Output Relays and LEDs
Checking of the output relays and of all LEDs can be

triggered by the <TRIP>-push-button.

6.3
Test circuit for MRM3-2
For testing the MRM3-2 relays only one power source is

necessary. Figure 6.1 shows a simple example of a
single-phase testing circuitry with controllable power
source for testing the unit.
Figure 6.1: Test circuit
6.3.1 Checking of Input Circuits and of the

Measuring Values
Single-phase conductor current test
The test can be carried out with a single phase. For this
procedure all three phase current measuring inputs have
to be connected in series. Restriction : For single-phase
testing the load unbalance element has to be deactivated because it cannot be tested with three equalphase currents.
For tests in Holmgreen connection, simulation of an

earth fault current has to be considered. Conductor currents have to be fed by the source the geometrical total
of which has to be in accordance with the required
earth fault current. But such asymmetry of the conductor
currents can cause the load unbalance element to trip
(dependent on its setting).
Three-phase conductor current test

For this test a relevant three-phase test source (120
phase shift !) must be available. Each channel of the
source is connected with one conductor current input.
This test circuitry is recommended because with this most
of the tests can be carried out. For testing the earth fault
channel a single-phase test should then follow.
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
29
6.3.2 Testing the START-STOP-RUNNING

Recognition
In a secondary test this elementary function can only be
reliably tested if the test source can generate the exact
chronological course of a starting current. If ever possible this should be carried out as primary test. Under all
normal start conditions, the status indications should be
signalled correctly. Please bear in mind: the STOP condition is only signalled after the STOP time has elapsed
and RUNNING is only indicated after elapse of the
start recognition time the earliest. Dependent on the actual kind of start or on the spectrum of possible varying
starting conditions, modification of both parameters
might be necessary.
6.3.3 Testing the Pick-Up and Disengaging

Values
For optimal protection many functions in this motor protection relay are interlinked and hence it is not possible
to have all protective elements tested independently from
each other.
For all functions linked with the
START/STOP/RUNNING recognition, a start simulation
has to be performed so that the function can be tested
under real conditions. Some of the tests could be simplified if special parameters would be set, but in most of
the cases this is not wanted.
Hence for testing the short-circuit element I>>RUNNING, for
instance, the MRM3-2 has to recognise the simulated
running condition firstly. The test source must be able to
copy the course of the motor current exactly as it is in
reality. The required test short-circuit current can only be
injected after the MRM3-2 has recognised the running
condition. The test conditions of the other elements, i.e.:
I>
I<
I>> Start
I>> RUNNING
have to be adjusted according to the application of the
selected parameters.
6.3.4 Testing the maximum starting time

The timer for maximum starting time starts running if the
impressed current exceeds the overload threshold of
k*IB> immediately after exceeding the starting threshold
aand within the start recognition time. There will be tripping if the threshold k*IB> is not underscored again after
the set time has expired. There are two possibilities of
adjustment. If the tripping characteristic for the max.
starting time is set to "DEFT" (Definite Time), tripping
takes place after the set time has expired. If the parameter is set to "INVS" (Inverse Time Characteristic), the tripping time is dependent on the set rated starting current
and a time multiplier. The multiplier is set with the same
parameter as in case of the maximum starting time with
defined tripping time. The maximum tripping time is limited to 2 x standard time. The minimum tripping time is
limited to the shortest possible tripping time of the
MRM3-2.
6.3.5 Testing the thermal image

For the thermal image there is no start simulation required. But for true propositions it is important that each
start proceeds from distinct start conditions. The thermal
behaviour of the motor is taken into account in the thermal image. This means that the time for simulated cooling down and for the store to be back to zero after a
test can be accordingly. (The store can also be reset
manually). As general rule applies that at constant current 99 % of the thermal processes have reached their
final value after 5 times the time constant (warming up
or cooling down).
6.3.6 Testing the Control Inputs

Prior to the test it should be ensured that the voltage
ranges of the inputs (jumper) are correctly adjusted (see
chapter 3.1.4).
6.3.7 Testing the CB Failure Protection

For this test the test source must be able to simulate a
circuit breaker and switch-off the current after a selectable time when the MRM3-2 was triggered (see chapter
5.4.18). To meet these requirements, the test source
must have a respective signal input and a timer for
switching-off the current.
30
TD_MRM3-2_04.05_GB
6.4
Primary Test
As a rule, tests with currents at the CT primary side (real

test) can be performed in the same way as tests with
secondary currents. It is recommended to carry out primary tests only as an exception and only if it is absolutely necessary (for very essential protective facilities)
because in some cases the costs involved and the strain
on the system can be rather high. Many functions of the
MRM3-2 can be checked during normal operation of
the system due to the efficient fault and measuring value
indications. So it is possible, for example, to compare
the currents shown on the display with the values shown
on the ammeters in the switchboard.
6.5
Maintenance
Normally the relays are checked at regular maintenance

intervals at site. From user to user these intervals may
vary because among other things they depend on the
type of relay, the kind of application, significance of the
object to be protected, previous experience of the user
etc.
For electro-mechanical or static relays normally an annual check is required. For the MRM3-2 the maintenance intervals can be much longer because:
the MRM3-2 relays are provided with wide-ranging
self-test functions and consequently relay faults are detected and indicated. It is, of course, imperative that
the internal self-supervision relay is connected to a
central display board.
The combined measuring functions of the MRM3-2
make monitoring during operation possible.
The trip test function (TRIP-Test) allows testing of the
output relays.
Therefore a maintenance interval of two years is sufficient. When servicing all relay functions incl. setting values, trip characteristics and tripping times ought to be
thoroughly checked.
