Application and Scope
The MiCOM P12x relays are suitable for all the
applications where overcurrent and earth-fault
protection are required.
The P12x relays can be used for a range of
overcurrent applications from single phase/earth
fault applications, P120 (non directional), P125
(directional) to three phase and earth fault
applications, P123 (non directional), P127
(directional). The P127 also includes voltage
protections and relevant functions and power
measurement.
The P12x relays provide a comprehensive suite of
overcurrent protection and automation features for
easy and flexible adaptation under different
operating conditions.
The typical applications are overhead lines,
underground cables and backup for HV systems in
insulated, solid, resistance and Petersen coil
earthed neutral systems, used in MV utility,
Industry, Transport, generator and transformer
schemes.
P120 P121 P122 P123 P125 P126 P127 Technical DataSheet
For easy adaptation to varying system operating
conditions two independent setting groups are
provided.
Flexible automation functions enable accurate co-
ordination with other devices.
Three earth fault sensitivity current inputs are
available by ordering code.
1A and 5A dual rated CT inputs are available with
all MiCOM P12x relays using separate terminals.
Two line/phase voltage input ranges, 57-130V and
220-480V, are available by ordering code.
The auxiliary voltage for the power supply and the
digital inputs is a wide-range design, 24 to 60 Vdc
and 48 to 250 Vac/dc.
The P12x relays are housed in a robust 4U metal
case for panel or rack mounting with 20TE width
(P120, P121, P122, P123 and P125) or 30TE width
(P126 and P127). To ease maintenance, the relay
can be withdrawn from its case (draw out case).

Control and display
All functions including protection automation,
communication, LEDs, inputs and outputs can be
programmed and modified using the front panel
user interface.
The 2 line, 16 alphanumerical backlit LCD display
(available in a range of languages) provides the
user with key information (faults, measurements,
settings, etc.).
The default display can be selected by the user. It is
possible to show the phase or earth current value
by selecting Phase A, Phase B , Phase C, Earth N
(P126/7), or the four values simultaneously
(P120/1/2/3). The P125 will be able to show the
earth fault current only.
The menus have a pull-down structure for easy use
and quick access to any data.
Dedicated LEDs
4 LEDs indicate the state of the relay (Trip, Alarm,
Warning, Healthy).
Acknowledgement of alarm and trip LEDs can be
easily performed locally or remotely.
Programmable LEDs
4 freely programmable LEDs are provided on all
models.
The user can assign independently each LED to
any programmable function or combination of
thresholds.
Keypad
A seven-button tactile keypad on the front panel
allows the user easy access to any data.
Communication RS485
All P12x series relays have a rear RS485
communications port to communicate with
MODBUS, IEC 60870-5-103, Courier and DNP3
protocols. (Courier & DNP3 are not available on
P125, P126 and P127 relays). The relays can
communicate to the local monitoring system, or
remotely to the SCADA, settings, measurements
and alarms, as well as fault, event and disturbance
records.
All communication parameters (relay address, data
rate, parity, etc.) can be set using the front panel
user interface.
Communication RS232
An RS232 front port is available in the MiCOM P12x
series.
It allows the user to download new firmware
(update, language changing,...) and also allows to
P120 P121 P122 P123 P125 P126 P127 Technical DataSheet
set the relay using a PC with the setting software
MiCOM S1.
The simple and powerful software interface
provides the user easy configuration and access to
all measurements and stored information for
maintenance and post-fault analysis purposes.
Password Protection
A four-character password is requested in order to
prevent inadvertent or unauthorized change of
settings or trigger of control functions.
Self-Monitoring
Comprehensive self-monitoring procedures within
the devices ensure that internal hardware or
software errors are detected and do not cause
malfunctions of the device. As the auxiliary voltage
is turned on, a functional test is carried out. Cyclic
self-monitoring tests are running during operation. If
test results deviate from the default value then the
corresponding signal is entered into the non-volatile
monitoring signal memory. The result of the fault
diagnosis determines whether a blocking of the
protection and control unit will occur or whether a
warning only is issued.

The phase fault directional elements are internally
polarised by quadrature phase-phase voltages.
A synchronous polarising function is provided to
ensure correct operation of the overcurrent
elements for close-up three phase faults where the
collapse of the polarising line voltages can occur.
The absolute phase angle of line voltages is
measured every cycle and the last value is stored in
the relay memory.
The polarisation discrimination voltage value is 0.6V
(fixed value) for relays with a system voltage of 57
to 130V and 3V (fixed value) for relays with a
system voltage of 220 to 480V.
Over this value the directional relay uses standard
polarisation (the measured voltage), under this
value the synchronous polarisation (stored vector)
is used.
The synchronous polarisation is maintained up to
the restoration of an input voltage value.
If the input voltage loss persists longer than 5s the
directional overcurrent protection is blocked.
Earth-fault Directional Overcurrent (67N)
Each of the three earth-fault stages of P125, P126
and P127 can be configured as directional
protection with specific characteristic angle (RCA).
Each directional stage has instantaneous (start)
forward/reverse outputs available.

pick-up can suspend the 1st threshold output to
control selectivity
P120 P121 P122 P123 P125 P126 P127 Technical DataSheet
In addition to the residual current, the residual
voltage must be connected to a dedicated input or
internally calculated as a vector sum (P127 only) in
order to make directional operation possible.
Each earth-fault directional stage measures the
residual current, the residual voltage, and the angle
between residual voltage and current.
Wattmetric/Ie*cos ϕ protection (32N)
Two additional stages are configurable with
Wattmetric or Ie*cosϕ characteristics. The first
stage can be set with a definite time or with various
IDMT curves as the 51N and 67N. The second
stage is definite time only.
The Pe threshold setting value is automatically
corrected selecting the rated Ie current.
The two-stages can be independently configured
with specific characteristic boundaries. The RCA
angle is common for the two stages.
Wattmetric characteristic
UnderCurrent protection (37)
MiCOM P122, P123, P126 & P127 relays provide a
definite time undercurrent protection.
This function allows typical applications such as
loss of load or simple broken conductor detection.
For the P122 and P123 the undercurrent protection
stage is conditioned to the status of the CB auxiliary
contact. The stage operates when the CB is closed
as indicated by a logic digital input energised via
the 52a auxiliary contact of the CB.
Thermal overload
The thermal overload protection can be applied to
prevent damage to the electrical plant equipment
when operating at temperatures in excess of the
designed maximum withstand. A prolonged
overloading causes excessive heating, which may
result in premature deterioration of the insulation, or
in extreme cases, insulation failure.
The P122, P123, P126 and P127 relays incorporate
a current based thermal replica, using load current

A typical unbalanced fault that can occur on the Most faults on overhead line networks are transient

from a broken conductor, mal-operation of one of flashover, is a self-clearing non-damage fault. It can

circuit breakers, and does not recur when the line is
re-energised. Lightning is the most common cause
of transient faults, other possible causes being
clashing conductors and wind blown debris.
The auto-recloser function is applied for
automatically reclosing of a switching device after it
has been opened due to operation of protection
where transient and non-permanent faults are
prevalent.
MiCOM P123, P126 and P127 relays include a 4-
shot auto-recloser. All the programmed protection
functions can independently start any of the shots
and the user can programme which functions are
allowed to trip after any of the shots. This makes
possible special reclosing cycles e.g. for co-
ordination with fuses in distribution systems with
teed transformers.
Dead and reclaim times are freely adjustable.
A counter stores the number of recloser commands.
This information is available locally or remotely.

The P123, P126 and P127 relays incorporate

an instantaneous trip during a settable time after
local or remote manual close or after automatic
reclose.
The SOTF function incorporates a fixed time
window of 500 ms during which the detection of the
fault is enabled.
Circuit breaker failure protection (50BF)
Following the inception of a fault, one or more main
protection devices will operate and issue a trip
output to the circuit breaker(s) associated with the
faulted circuit.
The circuit breaker failure protection verifies the
effective opening of the CB by a dedicated
undercurrent threshold isolating the fault and
preventing damage or further damage to the power
system.
The 50BF protection in the P122, P123, P126 and
P127 can be activated by trip of a generic
protection or/and external command by the relevant
digital input associated to the label Strt. tBF.
The Circuit breaker failure protection can also be
used to trip upstream circuit breakers.
The circuit breaker failure provides the possibility to
block the instantaneous I> and Ie> thresholds when
a 50BF signal is emitted. This allows more flexibility
in the fault localisation and isolation with blocking
schemes.
Phase current rotation
In some applications there is a need to match the
plant phase sequence with the connected relay
without changing the cabling. The P122 and P123
relays include the phase rotation feature that allows
the setting of the phases in clockwise or in anti-
clockwise rotation (ABC or ACB sequence).
Blocking logic
When the MiCOM P12x and P12y relays are used
in critical networks, management of protection
relays must take surrounding devices into
consideration.
Two blocking logic inputs can be configured
independently of each other to block any

Relay Maintenance mode
The P122, P123, P125, P126 and P127 incorporate
the direct control of the output relays (without the
need to inject any current). This functionality allows
the user to quickly verify the external wiring of the
relay output contacts.
Remote control on output relays
The P122 and P123 allow the direct control of 4 CB
by selected output relays. The control can be
performed by the software interface locally (S1) or
by remote control (DCS system).
Setting Groups
The P122, P123, P125, P126 and P127 relays have
two protection related setting groups.
Changes between the two groups are executed via
the front interface, a dedicated logic input or
through the communication port.
To avoid any undesirable tripping, the setting group
change is only executed when none of the
protection functions are running except for the
thermal overload function. If a setting group change
is received during any protection or automation
function, it is stored and executed after the last
timer has elapsed.
Programmable AND Logic
MiCOM P126 and P127 relays incorporate four
programmable AND logic equations.
The AND equations can match trip or start status of
the protection and automation functions so to have
outputs conditioned.
An operate and reset time is available for each AND
equation.
The output of each equation can be associated to
any output relay including the trip relay.
Auxiliary timers
Auxiliary timers tAux1, tAux2, tAux3 (P122) plus
tAux4 (P123, P125, P126 and P127) associated
respectively to Aux1, Aux2, Aux3 and
Aux4 logic inputs can be applied for automation and
control in the electrical power systems.
When the logic inputs labelled Aux 1…Aux 4 are
energised, the relevant timer starts and when the
set time is elapsed the associated output relay trip.
Each auxiliary timer can be associated to any
output relay including the trip relay (RL1).
Measurements
MiCOM P120, P121, P122, P123, P125, P126 and
P127 relays continually monitor all of the available
analogue inputs. The relays display the values on the
LCD and store the measurements in memory.
The measured values are the true RMS up to the
10th harmonic with a 0.1% accuracy (nominal
conditions at 50 Hz).
The calculation of the average value for each phase
during a selectable rolling sub-period is also
available.
P120 P121 P122 P123 P125 P126 P127 Technical DataSheet
Peak demands with a 15-minute window are also
memorised.
All the measured and derived values can be
displayed on the front panel LCD or transferred
locally or remotely on user request.
For the complete list of the available measurements
refer to the technical data in other part of this
document.
Protection start records
Five protection start records are stored in the
MiCOM P122, P123, P126 & P127 relays.
Each instantaneous (start) record includes:
• instantaneous (start) time (date & duration)
• origin (phase & earth thresholds)
Start records give the user useful information for
preventative maintenance of the electrical system.
Event recording
75 logic events are stored in the MiCOM P122,
P123, P126 and P127 relays. Events include
inputs/outputs, state changes, alarms and contact
operations.
All events are time-tagged to 1ms.
Fault records
Five faults are stored inside the relays. Each record
includes:
• Fault indicators
• Value of the available measurements for each
relay
• Tripping time
Fault indications help the user to clearly identify the
cause of the fault and monitor the P122, P123,
P126 and P127 settings.
Disturbance recording
Current waveforms are captured by the P122,
P123, P126 and P127 relays. Up to 3 seconds of
records are stored inside the relays for each fault
memorised in the relay. The disturbance recording
function is triggered either by any of the
programmed thresholds or by an external input, or
through the communications.
All the logic and analogue information are stored in
memory and can be transferred to an external data
analyser by the front communication port or the rear
port by an appropriate protocol.

Device Identification, Ports
The front of the relay has two flaps. The upper flap
identifies the product name. It can be lifted to
access the product model number, serial number
and ratings.
Under the lower flap there is a 9 pin RS232 port
and a place for a backup battery that is no longer
needed (since hardware 5).
The RS232 port can be used for relay setting and
for software upgrade.

To prevent unauthorized users to open the lower

flap, the case can fit a security seal.
USB/RS232 power cable (MiCOM E2)
The external accessory MiCOM E2 is available on
demand.
The USB/RS232 cable is able to power the relay
from its front port. This allows the user to retrieve
data or modify parameters from the relay (using the
front HMI or MiCOM S1) even when the auxiliary
power supply of the relay is off or has failed.

Case
For all MiCOM P12x the units have a draw out
metal 4U case high.
The width is 20TE for the P120 P121 P122 P123
P125, 30TE for the P126 and P127.
All CTs inputs are short-circuited if the active unit is
withdrawn from the case. This feature allows a
quick and easy replacement of the unit in case of
failure, without the need to rewire the relay.
All P12x relays can be panel or rack mounted.
Wiring
External connections are made via MIDOS type
terminal blocks.
Each connection includes two 6.35mm Fast on and
one M4 screw fixing.
The wiring for all the MiCOM P120, P121, P122,
P123, P125, P126 and P127 relays is standard to
provide maximum compatibility.
