ALSTOM - Micom: Introduction To Micom Protective Relays Principles of Micom S1 Agile Software
Front panel
The front panel of the relay is shown in the following figures :
Using programmable scheme logic, the user can readily change the
default direct-action pushbutton functions and LED indications to
fit specific control and operational needs.
Alarm (Yellow) flashes to indicate that the relay has registered an alarm.
This may be triggered by a fault, event or maintenance record. The LED
will flash until the alarms have been accepted (read), after which the LED
will change to constant illumination, and will extinguish when the alarms
have been cleared.
Out of service (Yellow) indicates that the relay’s protection is unavailable.
Healthy (Green) indicates that the relay is in correct working order, and
should be on at all times. It will be extinguished if the relay’s self-test
facilities indicate that there is an error with the relay’s hardware or
software. The state of the healthy LED is reflected by the watchdog
contact at the back of the relay.

Introduction to the Relay
Relay rear panel
All current and voltage signals, digital logic input signals and
output contacts are connected at the rear of t he relay.
Also connected at the rear is the twisted pair wiring for the rear
EIA(RS)485 comm. port, the IRIG-B time synchronizing input and
the optical fiber rear communication port (IEC103 or UCA2 by
Ethernet) which are both optional. A second rear port (Courier)
and an inter MiCOM port are also available.
S1 Agile only:
• Integrated programmable curve tool and RSTP redundant Ethernet
configuration for protection relays
• Integrated automatic extraction of disturbance records facility
• Integrated P740 and P746 remote HMI and topology tools for
busbar schemes
2.1_System Data
Detailed explanation of
each sub menu item for
typical relays will be
discussed later in this
course.
Inputs : The input to the PSL is any combination of the status of the digital input signals
from the opto-isolators on the input board, the outputs of the protection elements, e.g.
protection starts and trips, and the outputs of the fixed protection scheme logic.
Output: The outputs of the PSL are the LEDs on the front panel of the re lay and the
output contacts at the rear.
Opto Signals are those which represent external hardwired signals such as
( Positions , fail/healthy conditions and so on ).
Input signals however are those which used to indicate a partial software logic
inside the relay.
1. Template Summary
According to what is ordered for this project the relay has below
illustrated functions embedded in it.
It is now the time for partial explanation of each.
The P444 relays have 6 zones of phase fault protection, as shown in the
impedance plot Figure below.
• Zone 4 - Directional reverse zone. Note that zone 3 and zone 4 can be set
with same Rloop value to provide a general start of the relay.
The P441, P 442 and P444 relays have 6 zones of earth (ground) fault protection,
as shown in the earth loop impedance plot Figure below.
Type of fault can be selected in MiCOM S1 (only Phase/Phase or P/P & P/Ground)
67N : Directional earth fault protection (DEF) - This can be configured for
channel aided protection, plus two elements are available for backup DEF.
