1. INTRODUCTION
Overcurrent & Earth Iault Relay model MC61A is numeric type
non- directional 3 phase current relay. It is suitable Ior
Overcurrent & Earth Iault protection schemes in LV, MV and
HV power distribution systems. It is also suitable Ior
applications such as providing selective protection Ior overhead
and underground Ieeders, AC machines, TransIormers etc.
Its Microcontroller based design oIIers a wide range oI Iield
selectable Trip time characteristics. MC61A provides starter,
time delayed and instantaneous high set programmable outputs
Ior Over Current as well as Earth Fault.
The relay has a unique provision where by, it can be made
suitable for operation from either a 1A CT secondary or 5A
CT secondary - this CT rating can be selected in the field
through menu operations.
2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 Non Volatile Memory
The relay has EEPROM which retains the programmed
pickup values, characteristics, Trip time settings and
recorded parameters even when the auxiliary supply is
switched off.
2.2 Power Supply Range
The relay has wide range AC/DC auxiliary power supply. There
are two models available.
Type 1: 24V to 110V AC / DC /- 15
Type 2: 95V to 240V AC / DC /- 15

-2-
The type oI the power supply is highlighted in the wiring
diagram label. BeIore energizing the relay, check the power
supply voltage is within limits and wiring is done as per the
wiring diagram.
2.3 Relay outputs
MC61A relay has 5 relay outputs namely R1 to R5.
Relays R1 to R4 can be conIigured Ior any one or more
protection Iunctions. R1 relay can be programmed to operate as
selI-reset type or manual reset type. R1 relay cannot be assigned
to starter Iunctions. Also, any relay assigned to starter Iunctions
can not be assigned to any other protection.
The relay R5 is meant Ior providing alarm Ior internal Iault
conditions. It will be always energized during normal operation
and de-energized when the relay is in Program mode or in the
event oI auxiliary control supply Iailure or any malIunction
detected inside the relay.
Note: All the output relays will de-energize when auxiliary
supply is switched off even in hand reset mode. However, the
output relay will regain the original status after the power
up condition when supply is restored.
2.4 Starter Relay
The over current and earth Iault Iunction Iollows the selected
characteristic curve Ior its timing. Except R1 relay, other outputs
can be programmed Ior instantaneous or time delayed operation
oI low set in over current or earth Iault mode. When the
protection Iunction is programmed as instantaneous, this output
is useIul as an alarm relay or a blocking output to any upstream
over current relay. It should not be associated to trip the
breaker. The breaker trip function has to be achieved by the
time delayed contact of protection function.

2.5 CT Rating
The internal CT rating oI the unit can be changed in the
programming ( ProG) menu and can be viewed in the display
setting (dSEt) menu. By deIault it is set to 1 Amp i.e. P1E1 .
The display code Ior CT rating is :
P5E5 - Phase CT 5 A and Earth CT 5A
P1E1 - Phase CT 1 A and Earth CT 1A
P1E5 - Phase CT 1 A and Earth CT 5A
P5E1 - Phase CT 5 A and Earth CT 1A
Note: AIter the modiIications in the CT ratings, mark the
present CT ratings on the label stuck on the right side oI the
unit.

2.7 Current measurements
The relay shows RMS values oI three phase & Earth leakage
currents at regular interval on display in scroll mode. II the
current is more than 9999`A then relay will display - - - -'.
2.8 Event Recordings
The relay records Iollowing parameters.
1. Trip data oI last 5 tripping. The Trip data includes Trip
cause (over current lowset, Earth Fault highset etc.) and
current values when the Iault occurred.
2. The number oI Trippings due to Overcurrent & Earth Iaults
low set as well as high set.
3. The RMS current value measured during Switch-ON oI
Feeder and highest current measured during its ON
condition. These values are integrated over a period oI 100
millisec.
2.9 Diagnostics
The relay has a built-in watchdog Iacility, which monitors
correct operation oI program Ilow. Additionally diagnostic
routines are executed continuously to veriIy memory contents.
During Power-ON a detailed test is conducted to check
EEPROM, RAM & EPROM and other parts oI the relay. Any
time oI its normal operation, a test can be initiated Irom the Push
button. This test has the option oI including or excluding trip
relay operations. Under any Iault condition, the relay will show
the Iault code in the seven-segment display and the Error LED
will glow and 'error relay will de-energize.

2.10 Signalization
The 4 seven-segment displays and 4-phase indicator LEDs show
parameter settings, current values etc. The Trip window at the
bottom has 4 LEDs Ior R, Y, B, E phases. They indicate the
phase at which Iault has occurred. These LEDs will start
Ilashing when a Iault has developed and will glow steady when
the trip has occurred. The LED indication can be reset by a
button. However reset is not possible when Iault is present. The
Reset button also resets the R1 relay iI it is programmed in Hand
reset mode. In Hand reset mode once the relay trips then the
relay R1 will be in energized condition even aIter the Iault
recover. For resetting the relay contact manually Reset push
button to be pressed.
2.11 Reset time
Programmable reset time Ior the lowset Iault is provided in the
relay / iI Iault current persists Ior the duration less than the set
trip time delay, relay will hold the elapsed trip time Ior the
duration oI the programmed reset time .II the relay senses the
Iault within the reset time it will run the timer only Ior the
remaining duration and will give the trip time command to the
breaker. AIter issuing the trip command the relay will reset
immediately irrespective oI the reset time.

Modifications for 2NO-2NC type of MC61A
On special request MC31A relay can be supplied where the
relay will have 2 N/O 2 N/C contacts ( instead oI 4 N/O)
The 2 NO-2 NC type oI MC31A has only three output relays .
One among the three , ( R5) is used Ior indicating the internal
Iault condition. The other two relays R1 and R3 have one NO
output and one NC output. Both the relays can be set in either
Hand reset mode or selI-reset mode. Programming oI these
relays is not possible as both trip when the Iault occurs (either
Earth Iault or Over current) . Below given modiIication helps to
set the relays in hand or selI-reset mode.

SECONDARY CURRENT IN1ECTION TEST FOR
MC61A:
Equipment: Single- phase secondary current injection kit.
Connections:
Remove the protective cover Irom the terminal block by
removing two screws. Connect auxiliary supply between
terminal 25 and 26 (as indicated in wiring diagram). Connect
terminals 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 in series so that same current will
pass through all the 4 CTs.
Power on:
Switch ON the supply, the display and LEDs will blink once and
the display will show model number (61A), " SoItware version
(u .). AIter this the relay will enter into current measurement
mode.
Display & earth fault trip test:
Ensure the deIault settings in the relay is as shown in the setting
Iorm. Pass 2A (0.4A Ior 1A relay) through the relay. Now the
relay will start displaying the current in scrolling mode. Same
time earth Iault trip led will start Ilashing and will become
permanently ON aIter 4.39 sec.
Overcurrent trip test:
Pass 10A (2A Ior 1A relay) through the relay. Now all the phase
trip LEDs will start Ilashing indicating the presence oI Iault.
This will continue up to 4.39 sec and later all the trip LEDs will
become permanently ON and relay R1 will trip. Check the
continuity between the terminals 9 and 10 to ensure tripping oI
R1. Remove the current and press "reset" button to reset the
relay. Now LEDs will become OFF.

Highset trip test:
Set the highset setting (OC.HS) as 2 times the rated current.
Assign relay R1 only Ior OC.HS. Pass 10.5A(2.1A Ior 1A relay)
through the relay. Now all the Phase LEDs will become ON and
R1 will trip within 50 msec. Check the continuity between the
terminals 9 and 10 to ensure tripping oI R1. Remove the current
and press "reset" button to reset the relay. Now LEDs will
become OFF.
This completes the secondary current injection test. Disconnect
auxiliary supply and other CT connections. Fix the protective
covers back on Iront panel and terminal block.
