6. INTRODUCTION TO THE MiCOM P921-P922-P923 RELAYS

The range of MiCOM protection relays follows on from the success of the MIDOS, K
and MODN ranges by incorporating the last changes in digital technology. The relays
MiCOM P921-P922 and P923 are fully compatible and use the same modular box
concept. The MiCOM P921-P922 and P923 of relays provides more protection for
the most demanding applications.
Each relay has a large number of functions for controlling and collecting data. This
can form part of a fully integrated system covering protection, control,
instrumentation, data acquisition and the recording of faults, events and
disturbances. The relays are equipped on the front panel with a liquid crystal display
(LCD) with 2 x 16 back-lit alphanumerical characters, a tactile 7 button keypad (to
gain access to all the parameters, alarms and measurements) and 8 LEDs simply
displaying the state of the MiCOM P921-P922 and P923 relays. In addition, the use
of the RS485 communication port makes it possible to read, reinitialise and change
the settings of the relays, if required, from a local or remote PC computer equipped
with appropriate software.
Its flexibility of use, reduced maintenance requirements and ease of integration allow
the MiCOM P921-P922 and P923 to provide an evolving solution for the problems of
the protection of electric networks.
The MiCOM P921-P922 and P923 relays provide comprehensive voltage and
frequency protection for phase and ground faults together with measurements,
control and recording facilities.

7. RELAY FRONT DESCRIPTION

7.1 Front view
The front panel of the relay is shown in figure 1, with the hinged covers at the top
and bottom of the relay shown closed. Extra physical protection for the front panel
can be provided by an optional transparent front cover. This allows read access only
to the relay’s settings and data but does not affect the relay’s IP rating. When full
access to the relay keypad is required, for editing the settings, the transparent cover
can be unclipped and removed when the top and bottom covers are open.
Note that the MiCOM P921-P922 and P923 have the same size and the same front
panel.

FIGURE 1: RELAY FRONT VIEW

The front panel of the relay includes the following, as indicated in Figure 1:
• a 16-character by 2-line alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).
• a 7-key keypad comprising 4 arrow keys (, , , , an enter key , a clear
key , and a read key c).

• 8 LEDs; 4 fixed function LEDs and 4 programmable function LEDs on the left
hand side of the front panel.
• Under the top hinged cover:
− the relay serial number, and the relay’s voltage rating information (see
figure 3 in this chapter).
