GENERATOR

PROTECTION
for all your needs...
C o o p e r Pow e r S y s t e m s ’ G e n e r a t o r P ro t e c t i o n
Cooper Power Systems brings you a complete line
of affordable relays for the protection, control, and
monitoring of your generator applications. From faults to
abnormal operating conditions, Cooper’s Edison® Relays
provide a wide range of features to meet all of your
protection needs.
Edison Relays are compact, easy to use devices, with
simple HMI and modular construction in draw-out type
cases. Each of the Edison Relays includes a rear panel
mounted RS-485 communications port with Modbus
protocol. A bright luminescent display and eight LED
targets provide visual monitoring of the relay’s status.
Relay status, as well as event records may also be
obtained from the communications port using
Edison®Com Software.
Obtain the benefits of microprocessor technology, without
loosing the security of multiple relays protecting your
system. Seven different Edison Relays include a wide
variety of generation protection, control, and monitoring
functions. As specific purpose relays, Edison Relays can
be used independently or combined together to protect
small to large generator systems. And by using Edison
Relays, you don’t have to worry about placing all of your
protection in a single black box.
MD32G Generator Differential
The MD32G provides three-phase bias
percentage differential protection for
the generator. Phase and ground
overcurrent backup functions are
provided.
■ 87 - Bias percentage slope
differential protection
■ 87N/51N - Stator ground
overcurrent or stator ground
differential protection
■ 51 - Stator phase overcurrent
protection
MG30 Generator Protection
The MG30 is ideally suited for the
protection of medium generators,
or as the core of a protection package
for large generators where the gener-
ator neutral is impedance grounded.
The MG30 provides all of the basic
protective functions required for
generator protection. For large
generators, MG30 can be provided
with the MD32G relay in a dual case
design. This provides redundancy
and flexibility in the protection
package design.
■ 21 - System impedance backup
■ 24 - Overexcitation-V/Hz
■ 27 - Undervoltage
■ 27TN - 100% stator ground protection

■ 60FL - Fuse failure detection
■ 81 - Two frequency elements
and Control Relays
IM3G-V Generator Protection
The IM3G-V is ideally suited for the
protection of small generators, or as
the core of a protection package for
medium or large generators that are
low impedance grounded. For large
generators, the IM3G-V can be
provided with the MD32G relay in
a dual case design. This provides
redundancy and flexibility in the
protection package design.

protection of small generators, or as
the core of a protection package for
medium size generators.

■ 40 - Loss of field
■ 46 - Negative sequence
overcurrent
■ 50/51 - Time and instantaneous
phase overcurrent
■ 50/51G - Stator ground fault
■ 50BF - Breaker failure
SPM21 Generator Synchronizing
Relay
The SPM21 is a complete generator
synchronizing relay. The relay
measures the voltage and the
frequency for the generator and the
reference bus. When the measured
quantities are within acceptable limits,
the relay calculates the phase angle
between the reference bus voltage
and the generator voltage. SPM21
provides a signal in the form of a
contact closure to correct the machine’s speed and regulation in order
to bring the phase angle within set limits. A close command is issued
if the measured angle is within the limits and decreasing.
■ Automatic synchronizing of the generator
■ Live and dead-bus operation
■ Anti-motoring control
■ Kicker pulse control
SCM21 Synch-check Relay
The SCM21 provides synch-check
supervision for two lines connected to
a common bus. Voltage and frequen-
cy levels for both lines and the bus
are monitored. The relay will close its
output if the measured voltage,
frequency, and phase angle for the
lines and the bus are within limits.
■ Synch-check control for one or
two lines against a common bus
■ Voltage, frequency, and phase displacement
check for each line and a common bus
■ Over/Under voltage inhibit functions
■ Over/Under frequency inhibit functions
UM30-SV Generator Islanding
Protection
UM30-SV provides protection against
generator islanding. The relay also
provides voltage, frequency, and
overexcitation protection. The UM30-
SV is ideal for co-gen applications
where generator islanding detection
is critical.
■ Detection of generator islanding
■ 24 - Two levels of Volts/Hz
protection
■ 81 - Two levels of frequency protection
■ 27/59 - Two levels of voltage protection
