MiCOM P92x range of relays provide reliable and
high performance voltage and frequency
protection.
Versatile application and integration of protection
functions with automation, control and
measurement functions, combined with reduced
maintenance, makes P92x relays an optimal and
innovative choice.
A friendly, multi-lingual user interface with
programmable LEDs and logic equations, allows for
simple and flexible applications on any type of
network.
Connecting the relay to virtually any kind of Digital
Control System or SCADA is made possible by the
wide range of updated communication protocols
provided in P92x
APPLICATION
The MiCOM P92x relays provide fast and accurate protection
for use in numerous applications requiring voltage and
frequency based protection elements. To suit different
application needs and provide optimum solution, following
models are available:
P921: Voltage protection, 2 logic inputs, 4 outputs.
P922: Voltage and frequency protection, event and fault
records, disturbance recorder, 5 logic inputs, and 8 output
contacts.
P923 : Voltage and frequency protection (plus the rate of
change of frequency element df/dt), event and fault records,
disturbance recorder, 5 logic inputs, 8 output contacts.
The relays can be ordered with one of the two voltage input
range, to suit the application:
> 57V to 130V
> 220V to 480V
P920 Technical Data Sheet
Integrated with 3 independent phase over voltage and phase
under voltage thresholds, MiCOM P921, P922 and P923
relays provide effective voltage protection for typical
applications like protection of motors, generators., etc. The
configurable detection logic (AND, OR) can also indicate the
absence of voltage, when the under voltage protection is used.
The 3 zero-sequence over voltage thresholds available in
P921, P22 & P923 relays can be applied :
> to detect earth faults at the neutral point of generators, as
the relays are insensitive to the 3rd harmonics
> to detect earth faults in high impedance earthed or
isolated electrical systems .
The negative sequence over voltage protection provided by
the P922 and P923 relays is designed to detect unbalanced
conditions it could therefore be used for motor, in which any
unbalance will lead to overheating and damage.
The P922 and P923 relays integrate 6 frequency thresholds
programmable as under or over frequency, which can be used
for automated load shedding/load restoration.
In addition, the P923 relays provide 6 thresholds of
instantaneous rate of change of frequency (df/dt) or average
measurements over a settable time interval.
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The protection functions in P92x complemented with a wide
range of control, measurement, monitoring, post fault
analysis and self-diagnostic features assist efficient
management of the primary system. These include:
> Programmable logic equation
> Programmable logic inputs and outputs
> Circuit breaker control
> Output contact latching
> Circuit breaker status
> Circuit breaker condition monitoring (in P922 & P923)
> 2 setting groups (in P922 & P923)

CONFIGURATION DEPENDING VOLTAGE PROTECTION

ON THE VT
For each of the voltage protection function listed below, an
instantaneous signal and a time delayed signal is available
MiCOM P921, P922 and P923 relays can be used in the
for each threshold.
following configurations:

For time-delayed signals, the first threshold of each function

> "3 phase-neutral VTs" or "3 phase-neutral VTs and 1
residual VT":
> The voltage protection element can therefore operate
either from measured phase-to-neutral voltages, or from
phase-to-phase voltages which have been internally
calculated by the relay. Zero-sequence over voltage
protection will always be available, the presence of the
residual VT is designed to display the true RMS value of
the residual voltage.
> "3 phase-phase VTs and 1 residual VT" or "2 phase-
phase VTs and 1 residual VT":
The voltage protection element can only operate from
measured phase-to-phase voltages. If the residual VT is
not connected, the zero-sequence over voltage protection
will not be available.
RELAY SETTING USING MICOM S1
("low threshold") offers the choice between a definite timer and
an inverse timer, to which a reset timer can be assigned. The
other thresholds only have one definite timer.
UNDER/OVERVOLTAGE
Three thresholds are available for each function: each one can
be independently activated or deactivated. If a threshold is
activated, it can be configured to detect:
> an over voltage on the 3 simultaneous phases (logic
"AND") or on at least one of the phases (logic "OR") for
the "Over voltage" function
> an under voltage on the 3 simultaneous phases (absence
of voltage with the "AND" logic) or on at least one of the
phases (logic "OR") for the "Under voltage" function
> The MiCOM P921, P922 and P923 relays provide a
programmable hysteresis (drop- out / pick-up ratio) as a
percentage of the under voltage and over voltage pick-up
values.
> The P923 provides a settable under voltage block of all
the protection and control elements based on the
frequency.

P920 Technical Data Sheet 4

ZERO-SEQUENCE OVERVOLTAGE LOGIC EQUATIONS

Three thresholds are available: each one can be

independently activated or deactivated. Depending on the VT
configuration, MiCOM P921, P922 and P923 relays will
operate from the zero sequence voltage, which is calculated
internally, or from the residual voltage, which is measured
directly.

NEGATIVE SEQUENCE
OVERVOLTAGE
Two thresholds are available: each one can be independently
activated or deactivated. This function is based on the
negative-sequence component of the voltage, which is
calculated internally and displayed on the screen of the front
panel: It is designed to detect any voltage unbalance condition.

combined with the different output contacts and LEDs. The
FREQUENCY PROTECTIONS output contacts can also be programmed to be latched.

The following frequency based protection functions are BLOCKING LOGIC

available. Frequency protection functions are inhibited below a
certain level of the measured secondary voltage (adjustable
level in P923).
UNDER/OVERFREQUENCY
Six thresholds are available: Each one can be configured to
detect an under or over frequency within the range [fn - 10Hz,
fn + 10Hz], where fn is the nominal frequency selected (50Hz
or 60Hz). A definite timer is assigned to each threshold.
RATE OF CHANGE OF FREQUENCY
Six thresholds are available: Each can be configured
independently within the range [-10 Hz/s, +10 Hz/s].
These functions are based on the calculation of the
instantaneous rate of change of frequency over a settable
integration time (number of cycles).
Operation of the different protection elements of P92x can be
coordinated with other devices in the system. Two blocking
inputs are independently configurable. When active, they
freeze the associated protection timers and when they drop-
off, they re-impose the initial value if the fault conditions are
still present.
SETTING GROUPS FOR PROTECTION
FUNCTIONS
The MiCOM P922 and P923 relays have two independent
setting groups, which can be used to adapt the protection
functions to different operating conditions. The two groups can
be switched by activating a dedicated logic input, or by the
operator via the front panel, or locally (RS232 port) or remotely
(RS485 port).The switch from one setting group to another will
only take effect if no protection or automation functions are
running, to prevent unwanted tripping.

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC MEASUREMENTS

MiCOM P921, P922 and P923 relays, the following values will

be programmed directly from the front panel of the relay.

In addition, the MiCOM P922 and P923 relays
calculate the following values internally:
> positive sequence voltage
> negative sequence voltage
> peak values of phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase
voltages
> rolling values of phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase
voltages
All measurements are available locally and remotely.
LOGS AND RECORDS
All event, fault and disturbance records are time-stamped to
1ms by the internal real time clock. In the event of a loss of
auxiliary power, a lithium battery is used to save the records,
the date and the time. Monitored at regular intervals, the
battery can be easily accessed from the front panel if it has to
be replaced.
All records can be retrieved locally, using the MiCOM S1
setting software (RS232 port), or remotely (RS485 port).
EVENT RECORDS
Any change of state of logic inputs, output contacts or
protection functions will be recorded in the non-volatile
memory of the MiCOM P922 and P923 relays, with a
maximum of 75 events. When the memory is full, the oldest
events will be deleted, which will increase the storage capacity
for more recent events. Each event can be retrieved locally to
a PC using the MiCOM S1 support software through front
RS232 port or remotely using the rear RS485 port.
FAULT RECORDS
The MiCOM P922 and P923 relays can store the last 5 faults
that have occurred in non-volatile memory. Each record
provides the following information:
> date and time of fault
> origin of fault (under voltage, etc.)
> faulted phase(s)
> magnitude of the quantity which lead to the fault
> magnitude of phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase
voltages
> magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage (if available)
P920 Technical Data Sheet
DISTURBANCE RECORDS
Five disturbance records, each lasting 2.5 seconds, can be
stored in non-volatile memory by MiCOM P922 and P923
relays. The sampling frequency is fixed at 32 samples per
cycle. The event that triggers the recording can be configured:
Instantaneous signals, time-delayed signals, or activation
of a dedicated logic input.
FREQUENCY DISTURBANCE
RECORDS
One frequency disturbance record, lasting 20 secs can be
stored in non-volatile memory by the MiCOM P923 relay. The
sampling frequency is fixed at 1 sample per cycle. The
mechanism that triggers the recording can be configured:
instantaneous or time delayed tripping, activation of a
dedicated logic input or time delayed logic equation signal.
CIRCUIT BREAKER STATUS &
CONTROL
With MiCOM P921, P922 and P923 relays, the circuit breaker
can be controlled manually via logic inputs (AUX1 and AUX2),
with local or remote communication: the opening and closing
commands will therefore activate the programmed output
contacts. The LEDs can be programmed to indicate the status
of the circuit breaker.
CIRCUIT BREAKER MAINTENANCE
In addition to protecting and controlling the electrical network,
the P922 and P923 relays provide preventive and curative
maintenance of the circuit breakers. The MiCOM P922 and
P923 relays monitor the opening / closing time of the circuit
breaker and monitor the number of operations carried out. An
alarm is triggered as soon as the maximum opening or closing
time, or the maximum permitted number of operations is
exceeded.

COMMUNICATIONS
Two communication ports are available on MiCOM P921,
P922 and P923 relays: A rear RS485 port for remote
communication and a local front RS232 port for local
communication. A MiCOM S1 software provided for relay
setting, record retrieving and analysis is fully Windows TM
compatible. This support Software allows easy setting of any
MiCOM relay model including P92x.
