Reset Time:
Reset Time feature is used for intermittent faults. It works for DTL and IDMT curves.
Example: Let following be the settings in the relay.
Reset Time= 10s, Curve= D.10, OCLS = 2, Relay R1 selected for OCLS and Fault current: I>Is
Case 1 Fault current is present for 4s, Relay remembers the elapsed trip time of 4s.
absent for next 9s, then When the relay senses the fault again within the
reoccurs and continues. reset time period, it will trip after 6s (10-4).
Case 2 Fault current is present for 4s, Relay remembers the elapsed trip time of 4s.
absent for next 11s, then Since the fault is not present within the reset
reoccurs and continues. time period, relay will trip after 10s.

Dual rated CT:
CT rating of the Phase and Earth CT is field configurable as 1A or 5A without changing the
connections. CT rating can be changed in following combination,
1. P1E1
2. P5E1
3. P1E5
4. P5E5
n Diagnostics:
1. EEPROM and Real time clock (RTC) battery monitor: The protection element R5 is
dedicated for internal failure. In normal operation, R5 is in energized condition. When
relay detects any internal failure, output contact R5 will get de-energized and
corresponding failure is displayed.
Here internal failure corresponds to failure of EEPROM and RTC battery.
> The abnormality related to EEPROM will be displayed as 'EEPROM ERROR'. This error
is related to the corruption of memory contents. Default settings will be loaded once
this failure is detected.
> Low RTC battery voltage indication is displayed at the top right corner of the
LCD as 'LB'. Low RTC battery voltage can corrupt the real time clock.
2. Relay test: This feature is available in the ‘TEST’ option. Selection of this option will
energize and de-energize all the output contacts. This can used to check the working of
output contacts.
3. Display test: This feature is available in the ‘TEST’ option. With this option the operation
of graphical display can be checked.

FEATURES
n Serial Communication:
MC61C-nX has a RS-485 communication port on its rear panel. Settings and controls of the relay
is accessible through the port using MODBUS protocol.
Blocking output is used for blocking the upstream relay. Blocking output energizes instantly [less
than or equal to 35 milliseconds] on occurrence of fault and de-energizes 70ms after elapse of
trip time delay. It is configurable for low set (Over current and Earth fault) and high set (Over
current and Earth fault) independently or for both.
Blocking input is used to inhibit the trip function of upstream relay. Blocking output (Starter) of
downstream relay can be wired to Digital input D2 of upstream relay to inhibit the trip function.
It is configurable for functions of low set (Over current and Earth fault) and high set (Over
current and Earth fault) independently or for both.
n Digital Inputs:
D1: When Digital input D1 is active, it enables remote control of breaker (from the PC).
D2: It is used as blocking input for pilot wire co-ordination. (refer above blocking input
explanation) .
D3: Its condition will be read by the relay and transmitted to PC. Ideally, it can be used for
monitoring the breaker status.
Breaker operating time of downstream relay has to be set for blocking function logic in upstream
relay. Breaker operating time can be programmed from 10 msec to 250 msec.
Logic Explanation:
-9-
FEATURES
Blocking output (Starter) of downstream relay is wired to digital input D2 of upstream relay. On
fault, blocking output of downstream relay will activate the Blocking input (D2) of upstream
relay instantly (≤35 ms) and inhibit the Trip of upstream relay for duration of its trip time
delay+70ms. Once Digital input D2 gets deactivated and fault is not cleared by downstream
circuit breaker the upstream relay will initiate trip after set BOT.
Note: If Digital input D2 is activated continuously then upstream relay will initiate trip after its
trip time delay+2 times of set BOT of downstream relay.
To achieve breaker failure protection, the blocking output of the downstream relay will be wired
to the blocking input of the upstream feeder relay.
Whenever fault is sensed by the downstream feeder relay it generates a blocking output signal in
the form of a contact. It will act as blocking input for the up-stream relay. The upstream relay
is blocked from initiating a tripping, for duration which is programmable in the upstream relay
with help of BOT.
It should be noted that the upstream relay will not be blocked permanently (till the blocking
input is removed). If fault is not cleared by down stream relay, due to its failure, the fault will
persist. To sense this condition, the down stream relay initiates a timer (BOT) to monitor the
breaker operation. If the breaker fails to clear the fault in this duration, the blocking output
signal, which is in energized condition, will be de-energized. Hence the upstream breaker, which
was blocked, will now instantaneously trip its breaker – thus clearing the fault at an upstream
level.
n Auto Doubling:
In transformer feeders, when breaker is switched ON, there will be a very high inrush current,
which may be greater than the high set value of the relay. This may lead to nuisance tripping by
the protection relay. To avoid nuisance trip of the feeder due to inrush current autodoubling is
provided. If the input current increases from 0A to 0.2In in 40msec then the over current high set
(OCHS) setting is auto doubled for next 20ms. After 60msec (40msec+20msec) initial set value
will be restored.
Relay output contact R3 can be used for opening the breaker and relay output contact R4 can be
used for closing the breaker through RS-485 communication only.
a) For opening the breaker relay output contact R3 has to be selected for breaker open manually
or through remote. Relay output contact R3 is energized for 250ms once the
command is received from PC.
b) For closing the breaker relay output contact R4 has to be selected for breaker close manually
or through remote. Relay output contact R4 is energized for 250ms once the command is received
from PC.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTAINENCE
> Check the relay for any obvious damage, if found inform to nearest L & T office or dealer.
> Ensure that the units received are as per the requirement.
> Remove the protective cover from the terminal block by removing two screws.
> Connect suitable auxiliary supply between terminals 25 and 26.
> Switch ON the supply, all LEDs will blink once and the display indicates model number, software
version and CT rating. After this the relay will enter into normal operation mode.
Display and Output contacts can be checked manually. Refer “Diagnostic” section of the manual
regarding the procedure for testing the display and output contacts.
This completes the preliminary check. Disconnect the auxiliary supply and fix the protective covers
on terminal block.
n
Mounting and Wiring:
MC61C-nX is designed for flush mounting on the panel. Refer page 26 for panel cutout dimensions
and space required behind the panel. Fix the mounting clamps supplied, to the top and
bottom side of the relay. Insert the relay through the panel cutout and hold it firmly against the
panel. Tighten the screws on the mounting clamp. Wire the relay terminals as shown in the
wiring diagram (Refer page 25). Relay terminals are suitable for 2.5 mm.sq lugs. Ensure that the
protective cover is fixed on the terminal block with the help of two screws after completing the
wiring.
NOTE:
1. Ensure proper earth connection to the relay.
2. Please remove the relay from the panel during transportation.
3. During installation and uninstallation, ensure that supply to the relay is switched OFF. This is to
ensure the safety of the operating personnel.

Handling Precautions:
In case of relay malfunction, the electronic module alone can be removed and replaced without
removing the complete relay assembly with its housing from the panel. Care has to be exercised
while handling the modules. The electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
while handling the module. Hence care has to be taken while handling the cards as mentioned
below:
1. Before removing the module ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as the
equipment by touching the same.
2. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board. Avoid
touching the electronic components, printed circuits and connectors.
n
Fault Detection & Repair:
Internal settings and components in the relay should not be altered. For repair, please contact
nearest L&T sales office.
n
Instructions for Draw-out & Plug-in:
Rotate the four locking screws by 90 Degrees. Now the screws will be in unlocked position,
that is, the slots in the screws will be in horizontal position as shown in page 26. Hold the
handle by the fingers and pull out the module. The relay has CT shorting facility and hence
the CT secondary will be automatically in shorted condition when the module is plugged
out.
First ensure the four locking screws are in unlocked position, by verifying the screw driver mark
is in horizontal position. Position the module such that it gets engaged to the card guides in the
housing. Push the module into the connector. Push all four screws and rotate by 90 degree.
They will get locked to the housing.
WARNING
While plugging the module, if any of the Locking screws are in locked position (i.e. the
screwdriver mark in the screw is vertical), the module cannot be plugged fully. In such a
case, the CT shorting may not have opened. To avoid this problem, ensure the screws
are in unlocked position while pushing the module.

measurement mode.
Ensure the default settings in the relay is as shown in the setting form. Pass 2A (0.4A for 1A relay)
through the relay. Now the relay will start displaying the current in scrolling mode. Same time
earth fault trip LED will start flashing and will become permanently ON after 2 sec.
Pass 10A (2A for 1A relay) through the relay. Now all the phase trip LEDs will start flashing
indicating the presence of fault. This will continue up to 2 sec and later all the phase trip LEDs will
become permanently ON and relay R1, R2,R3 and R4 will trip. Check the continuity between the
terminals 9-10, 11-12, 17-18 and 27-28 to ensure tripping of R1, R2, R3 and R4. Remove the
current and press "reset" button to reset the relay R1. Now LEDs will become OFF.
Set the high set setting (OCHS) as 2 times the rated current. Pass 10.5A(2.1A for 1A relay) through
the relay. Now all the LEDs will become ON and all relay (R1, R2, R3, and R4) will trip within 55
msec. Check the continuity between the terminals 9-10, 11-12, 17-18 and 27-28 to ensure
tripping of R1, R2, R3 and R4. Remove the current and press "reset" button to reset the relay R1.
