 1. General information

1.1 Application and features

1.1.1 Application

The protective current relays types RMC-111D, RMC-122D and RMC-132D form part of a complete DEIF series of relays for
protection and control of generators. The relays are applicable to both marine and land-based installations. Also available are
differential current relays (RMC-131D).

The relays are type-approved by major classification societies.

RMC-111D (ANSI codes 50/51)

This short circuit relay is applied in cases where only protection against short circuit currents is required (I>>).

RMC-122D (ANSI codes 50/51)

This combined short circuit and over-current relay is applied for protection of generators against both over-currents and short circuit
currents (I> + I>>).

RMC-132D (ANSI codes 50/51)

This double over-current relay is applied in cases where protection against over-currents at two levels is required (I> + I>).

1.1.2 Measuring principle

The relays measure the highest of the 3-phase currents, providing an RMS measurement at sinusoidal currents.

The measurement is based on average values for I>, peak values for I>>. If a current exceeds a set point, the output is activated.

The set point values are set on the front of the relays by means of potentiometers. If exceeded, a fault signal is generated, and the
associated yellow LED is lit.

1.1.3 Timer functions

When the set point is exceeded, its timer starts and will run as long as the fault condition prevails.

If the fault disappears, the timer is reset. When the timer expires, the contact is activated and the associated red LED is lit.

1.1.4 Relay outputs

The relays are provided with outputs as follows:

RMC-111D: I>> 1 max. contact

RMC-122D: I> + I>> 2 max. contacts

RMC-132D: I> + I> 2 max. contacts

which are either normally energised or normally de-energised contacts. The contact(s) may be set to open or to close on activation.

Normally energised contact

DATA SHEET 4921240102I UK Page 3 of 8

Recommended for land-based installations for warning and alarm purposes. In case of an auxiliary supply dropout, the contact is
immediately activated.

Normally de-energised contact

Recommended for marine installations for regulating and control purposes. An auxiliary supply failure will not result in an unwanted
activation of the contact.

Latch circuit

The contacts can be locked in their warning position, even if the input currents return to normal (add "L" to contact type in order
specifications if this is required).

The latch circuit is reset by disconnecting the auxiliary supply.

Hysteresis

In order to avoid "chatter" on the relay contacts, the contact functions are provided with a hysteresis, that is a difference of 2 % of full
scale between energising and de-energising of the relay.

Power-up/power-down circuits

The relays are provided with a 200 ms power-up circuit, ensuring the correct function of the relay on connection of the auxiliary
voltage.

INFO
Normally energised contacts are not activated (contact does not open/close) until 200 ms after connection of the auxiliary
voltage.

Likewise, the relays are provided with a 200 ms power-down circuit, ensuring supervision and maintenance of any set point
exceedings for 200 ms after disconnection of the auxiliary voltage.
