Operating time
Duration of time interval between the instant when the character-
istic quantity in reset condition is changed, under specified condi-
tions, and the instant when the relay operates
Dropout ratio
The ratio of a reset value to an operate value in well-specified con-
ditions. The dropout ratio may be lower or greater than 1 according
as an over or under element is considered
Reset time
Duration of the time interval between the instant when the charac-
teristic quantity in operate condition is changed, under specified
conditions, and the instant when the relay operates.
The stated reset time is related to a step variation of characteristic
quantity in operate condition to the reset condition.
Overshoot time
The critical impulse time for a relay which is in its reset condition,
is the longest duration a specified change in the input energizing
quantity(ies) (characteristic quantity), which will cause the relay
to change to operate condition, can be applied without the relay
switches. The overshoot time is the difference from the operate time
and the critical impulse time.
The declared values for the overshoot time are applicable with the
lower setting value of the operation time.

Preface
The relay type NV10B can be typically used in HV, MV and LV distribution systems, on transformers
or for electrical machines.
It can be used for system decoupling, load shedding and loss of main (islanding) protection.
In addition to the main protection element, the breaker failure (BF) , Trip Circuit Supervision (TCS) and
programmable logic (PLC) are also provided are also provided.
Following input circuits are available:
• Three voltages (line-to-line or line-to-ground) with nominal voltages programmable in the range
50...130 V (UR=100V) or 200...520 V (UR = 400V) and one residual voltage input with nominal voltage
programmable in the range 50...130 V (UER=100V).
• Two binary inputs.
Setting, programming and reading operations must be effected by means of Personal Computer with
ThyVisor software or by means of remote communication interface (RS485 bus, Ethernet network
and USB); all operations must be performed through MMI if enabled.
According to the hardware configurations, the NV10B protection relay can be shipped in various
case styles depending on the required mounting options:
• Flush.
• Projecting mounting.
• Rack.
• With separate operator panel.
Other options are:
• Auxiliary power supply operating range.
• Communication protocols.
Main features
• Metallic case.
• Backlight LCD 4x16 Display.
• Eight LEDs that may be joined with matrix criteria to many and various functions.
• RESET key to clear LED indications and latched output relays.
• Two free settable binary inputs.
• Independently settable for start, trip, self-test and control six output relay (K1...K6) Each output
relay may be set with normally energized or normally de-energized operating mode and manual or
automatic reset (latched/no-latched).
• Rear Ethernet communication port, with MODBUS TCP/IP® protocol, with RJ45 (copper wires) or
FX (optical fiber) connection.
• Rear RS485 port, with ModBus protocol.
• USB front serial port (local communication for ThyVisor).
• Real time clock with super capacitor.
NV10P-B-en.ai
Protective elements
NV10B - Manual - 04 - 2022
The most significant constructive features are:
• Galvanically insulated input and output circuits (communication and binary circuits included).
• Optimum filtering of input signals through combined use of analog and digital filters.
• Traditional electromechanical-type final output contacts with continuous monitoring of control coil
continuity.
• Auxiliary supply comprising a switching-type voltage stabilizing circuit having a very wide working
range and a very small power dissipation
• Nominal frequency: 50 or 60 Hz.
The most significant operating features are:
• Programming of operating modes and parameters by means of the front keys and alphanumeric
display, with a programming procedure based on carrying out guided selections and on explicit and
immediate signalling of the operations being performed, so that such procedure can be carried out
without coding tables or mnemonic informations.
• The feature modification operations do not interrupt the normal functions of the relay.
• Impossibility of programming unacceptable parameter values, thanks to the automatic limitation of
top and bottom scale values for the relative setting ranges.
• Currents are sampled 24 times per period and measured in the effective value (RMS) of the funda-
mental component using the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) algorithm and digital filters.
• The fault recorder (SFR) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last twenty events upon
trigger of binary input/output and/or element pickup (start-trip).
• The event recorder (SER) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last three hundred
events upon trigger of binary input/output.
• Digital fault recorder (DFR) in COMTRADE format (oscillography).

Power supply board
All the components necessary for conversion and stabilization functions are present.
Two versions are envisaged suited to the input ranges 24...48 V and 115...230 V.
The circuit provides stabilized voltages of +10 V and -10 V, required for the analogue measurement,
+24V for relays and +5 V for supplying the digital circuits.
The circuit board additionally comprises:
• Two binary input circuits, with photo-couplers which provide for galvanic separation.
• Six output relays (k1...K6).
CPU board
This circuit board contains all the circuits necessary for performing the analogue and digital pro-
cessing of the signals.
Analog processing
The following are envisaged:
• Anti aliasing filter circuits,
• Amplifier circuits for conditioning the input signals,
• Reference voltage adjustment circuits for the measurement A/D converter.
The Pro-n relays use a DSP processor operating at 40 MHz; it performs all the processing on the
analogue signals and furthermore coordinates management of the TX-RX signals to the CPU.
The input currents are sampled at a frequency of 24 samples per period by means of a dual conver-
sion system which allows the attainment of information pertaining to polarity and amplitude with high
resolution. The measurement criterion allows precise measurement of even those signals having a
unidirectional component, such as transient currents with overlapping exponential, which typically
appear during faults.
The circuit board also houses the output relays with the corresponding command and control cir-
cuits, communication circuits, buttons, LCD display, LEDs and the key switch.
CPU
A 32 bit CPU is provided.
The following are envisaged:
• Real Time Clock circuits with oscillator and super capacitor,
• USB communication port,
• RS485 communication port,
• Thybus communication circuits for external modules and MMI board,
• Network communication circuits (optional Ethernet).
Memories:
• SRam: high speed static memory, used for data and cache,
• Flash memory: used for fw storage and upgrade,
• EEprom memory: used for calibration data storage,
• Dual port Ram for data transfer between CPU and DSP.
Input board
• Three VTs committed for phase voltages acquisition,
• One VT committed for residual voltage acquisition.
MMI (keyboard, LED and display)
The MMI module (Man Machine Interface) includes:
• An eight keys 8 keyboard,
• a backlight LCD display,
• Eight signalling LEDs,
The removable plug allows separation of the MMI module for free access to the CPU board when
DIP-switch setting is required.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The program which handles operation of the Pro-N relays is made up of three fundamental elements
shown in the following block diagram.
Base software
Single modules are application independent with modular and scalable structure.
The system can be assimilated to the PC BIOS (Basic Input-Output System); three main function are
provided:
• Start-up test execution;
• RAM loading of the operating system;
• Provide a suitable interface to access the relay hardware.
Real-time operating system
An embedded operative system is employed suitable for real-time applications (RTOS).
A multithread preemptive structure is able to menage several task with multiple priority levels .
The kernel represents the nucleus of the system: it includes the processing functions closest to the
electronic circuits.
In addition, the kernel manages a service communication protocol known as Basic Protocol (BP).
Task
The task (process e thread) are the base components.
Example are:
• Keyboard management
• RTC (Real Time Clock) updating
• RAM/EEPROM updating
• Diagnostic
• Input acquisition
• Output relay management
• MMI
• I/O updating
• DSP data processing

DSP Firmware
By means of Discrete Fourier Transform calculation, based on 24 samples/period, information is de-
duced in relation to the amplitude and phase of all the current measurements; these are constantly
updated and at the disposal of all the protection and control application algorithms.
Drivers
Inside the driver library, all the specialized module for protection and control function are provided.
They are the link from kernel and application layer. Examples are:
• Data base management
• PC messages management
• TCP/IP messages management
• Basic Protocol management
• Counter management
• Event and fault management
• Measuring management
• Oscillography management
Application Software
The software acts the specialization of the base system; all protective and control elements are
inside it.
The main modules ate:
• Diagnostic function for application layer,
• Input management (binary inputs),
• Protective functions,
• Event recording,
• Output management (LEDs and relays)
Each element (Kernel, Drivers and Application) may, in turn, be split into modules:
Base protocol (kernel)
The module known as the Basic Protocol (BP) manages the service communication between the
kernel and the other modules through the communication buses with the following services:
• Data and information exchange,
• Calibration,
• Upgrade fw DSP,
• Upgrade application sw
Communication (drivers)
The ModBus TCP/IP protocol, with ethernet interface, the ModBus RTU, IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3
protocol over RS485 interface and the ModBus RTU USB for ThyVisor are provided.
MMI (drivers)
The drivers deal with the menu management (MMi and/or communication messages).
Data Base
The data base is split into three main sections:
• RAM for volatile data,
• REE and PAR for non volatile data.
Self test (Application)
The main hw and sw function are permanently verified in background; no additional delay are intro-
duced.
In particular the following function are tested:
• Reference voltages;
• Output relays;
• Sw flow with execution time monitoring;
• REE and PAR data congruence.
Development tools (Builder)
For the development of the project, a CASE instrument has been developed, responsible for the opti-
mized production of software code for the management of collaboration, the database and the MMI
data and the Xml files used for communication. The automatic code generation criteria ensures the
quality of the result in terms of the reusability, verifiability and maintainability of the software life
cycle.

I/O DESCRIPTION
Metering inputs
The following inputs are provided:
• Three phase voltage inputs with programmable nominal voltages within range 50...130 V (UR=100 V)
or 200...520 V (UR = 400 V) to be select on order. The nominal voltages is user adjustable inside a
wide setting range, so the relays can be employed on plants with TV different secondary voltages
(50...130 V for versions with UR = 100 V and 200...520 V for versions with UR = 400 V). The version with
UR = 400V allows a direct measure without interposing VTs for low voltage applications (200...520
V nominal voltage).
• One residual voltage input, with programmable nominal voltage within range 50...130 V (UER=100 V);
The input circuits are appropriately dimensioned in order to withstand the voltages which arise
when a fault occurs, both in transient and steady state condition.
Signal processing
Various processing levels are involved:
• Acquisition (base level).
• Direct measures of physical channels (first level).
• Calculated measures (second level).
• Derived (third level).
The measures concerning a level are based on data worked out in the previous level.
For each level the required resources concerning the priority for tasks (conditioning circuits, DSP
and CPU) are on hand.
ACQUISITION (base level)
The input signals are sampled 24 times per period:
- uL1...uL3
Input voltage instantaneous values
- uE
Residual voltage instantaneous value
From the sampled quantities, several measures are computed for protection, monitoring and meter-
ing purposes.

Binary inputs
Two binary inputs are available.
The dry inputs must be powered with an external voltage, (usually the auxiliary power supply).
The connections are shown in the schematic diagrams.
The following settings can be used to configure each input:
• Logic Active-ON (activated when powered), or Active-OFF (activated when power is turned off).
• ON Timer (OFF-to-ON time delay) and OFF Timer (ON-to-OFF time delay).
• Binary input allocation.
Adjustable debounce timer allows any transient to decay avoiding false activation of the input; the
positive transition is acquired if the input is permanently high for a time interval longer than the tON
setting delay; similarly for the negative transitions, the negative transition is acquired if the input is
permanently high for a time interval longer than the tOFF setting delay.
In the above shown diagram, INTERNAL STATE represents the logical state of the binary input used
in the following processing.
Each binary input may be matched to one of the following default functions.

Reset LEDs
If the element tripped have gone back to rest condition, the latched LEDs and/or relays may be
reset.
Set profile
Inside PRO-N devices, two independent setting profiles (A and B) are available. Whereas different
settings are required, they are made in the setting profiles and stored in the non volatile memory of
relay. Applicable setting profile is activated usually via a binary input; when the programmed input is
activated, the profile B becomes operative as a replacement for the default profile A.[1]
Fault trigger
When the programmed input is activated, a trigger is issued for fault record SFR). Data storing takes
place with the same procedure resulting from a trip of any protective elements.
Note 1 To enable the profile switching the “Input-selected” parameter must be set inside the “Profile selection” submenu.
If multiple setting groups are not required, Group A is the default selection

Block1
A change in status of a binary input effects a block for a length of time equal to the activation of the
input[1]; the element pickup that wish be blocked must be enabled (the Block1 parameter must be
set to ON in the concerning menu).[2]
The application of the IN1 binary input for the acquisition of the Block1 (logic block) coming from
external signal is shown in the following figure; in the example the block signal is ORed with Block2
(selective block) to block the generic (xxx) element.
TCS1 and TCS2
Trip Circuit Supervision.
Supervision with one or two binary input can be performed.
The exhaustive treatment of the TCS function is described in the concerning paragraph.
Trip ProtExt
The binary input detects a trip coming from an external protective relay: the information is available
for the breaker failure function (BF).
Reset counters
A change in status of a binary input effects a reset of all start/trip partial counters.[3]
Reset CB Monitor
A change in status of a binary input effects a reset of all counters concerning the circuit breaker
diagnostic: CB Open counter
Note 1 The Block1 (logic block) keeps block of the protection for the whole time when the input is active.
Note 2 The activation of one binary input produces indiscriminately a block of all protective elements programmed for being blocked from Block1
Note 3 The reset of the total counters is practicable by means ThyVisor command with Session Level 1 (available with password)

Output relays
Six output relays are available (K1...K6)::[1]
• K1 and K2 have two changeover contacts (SPDT, type C).
• K3, K4 and K5 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A).[2]
• K6 has one break contact (SPST-NC, type B).[3]
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• Operation MODE (No latched, Pulse, Latched).
• Logic (Energized/De-energized).
To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (Minimum pulse width parameter).
All parameters are available inside the Set\Relays menu.
Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each relay.
Notes:
• When de-energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in rest condition if no trip command
is in progress.
• When energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in operating condition if no trip command
is in progress and the auxiliary supply is powered on.
• When no-latched operating mode is set (Operation MODE No latched), the output relay reset
at the end of the trip condition. To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (minimum
pulse width operation).
• When latched operating mode is set (Operation MODE Latched), the output relay doesn’t reset
at the end of the trip condition; it stays ON until a reset command is issued (RESET key, ThyVisor or
communication command).
• When pulse operating mode is set (Operation MODE Pulse), the output relay reset after a tTR
programmable delay regardless of the trip condition.
• It is advisable to make sure that the output contact technical data are suitable for load (Nominal
current, breaking capacity, make current, switching voltage,...).
Matching every output relay to any protective element is freely programmable inside the Setpoints
submenus according a tripping matrix structure.[4][5]
Note 1 Schematic diagram are shown inside APPENDIX B1.
Note 2 K3 and K4 have a common terminal (A10)
Note 3 K5 and K6 have a common terminal (A13)
Note 4 Matching of the output relay to the protective and control functions can be defined so that any collision from other function is avoided.
All output relay are unassigned in the default setting.
Note 5 Self test relay: it is advisable to plan the following settings:
- Energized operating mode,
- No-latched ,
in order that it stays ON for normal conditions and the other way round it goes OFF if any fault is detected and/or the auxiliary supply turns OFF.

LED indicators
Eight LEDs are available.
• One green LED “ON”: if turned on it means that the device is properly working, if flashing the inter-
nal self-test function has detected an anomaly.
• One yellow LED “START” tagged for START of one or more protective elements.[1]
• One red LED “TRIP” tagged for TRIP of one or more protective elements.[1]
• Five red LEDs “1...5” for highlight the activation of one or more user defined function.
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• No-latched: the LED reset at the end of the trip condition.
• Latched: the LED doesn’t reset at the end of the trip condition; it stays ON until a manual reset
command is issued (RESET key, ThyVisor or communication command).
Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each LED
Programming and/or configuration changes can be carried out at any time, separately for each LED
by setting the parameters inside the Set\Led menu.
Free allocation of each LED may be set according to the matrix structure shown in the following
page.[2]
Note 1 The START and the TRIP LED are user assignable to any function; other than starting and tripping information can be assigned to them too, just
the same for L1...L5

Communication interfaces
Several communication ports are provided:
• USB port on the front side of the NV10 device for local communication (ThyVisor).
• RS485 port on the rear side of the NV10 device for bus communication.
• Ethernet port on the rear side of the NV10 device for bus communication.
USB
to connect the local port USB can be used the L10042 cable ( USB type B - Type A)
The serial port is the simplest access for setting by means the ThyVisor software.
RS485
Several protocol are implemented[1]:
• ModBus RTU. Modbus is a serial communications protocol. It is a de facto standard communica-
tions protocol in industry, and is now the most commonly available means of connecting industrial
electronic devices also inside electric utilities and substation.
• IEC 60870-5. The IEC 60870-5 suite of protocol is used for communications from master station to
substation, as well within the substation; the IEC 60870-5-103 (Protection equipment) is available
together the Modbus protocol on some version of Pro-n devices (code NVxx#xxxxC x).
Ethernet
It is provided (optionally) a communication board useful for Ethernet communication with ModBus
TCP/IP protocol.[2]
Modbus/TCP basically embeds a Modbus frame into a TCP frame in a simple manner. This is a con-
nection-oriented transaction which means every query expects a response.
This query/response technique fits well with the master/slave nature of ModBus, adding to the de-
terministic advantage that Switched Ethernet offers industrial users.
In the same way as the RS485 base Modbus, every device is identified by a personal address and the
communication goes in “client-server” mode with answering request from the recipient.
The protective relay can be directly connect to the Ethernet network (no gateway, protocol converter
are needed).
Two port can be implemented:
• 100BASE-TX with RJ45 connector (copper).
• 100BASE-FX with FX connector (optical fiber)[2]
For both modules no hw preset are required.
Two LEDs are on board (RJ45):
• LINK - (green): The LED lights up if the connection is active.
• TX - (yellow): The LED lights up when data transmission is active.
Note 1 The RS485 port is not implemented on the Pro-N devices endowed with Ethernet FX port

PROTECTIVE ELEMENTS
Rated values
Inside the Base menu the following parameters may be set:
• Relay reference name.
• Relay nominal voltages (phase and residual), to which the regulation are related.
• Primary nominal values, employed for measures relative to primary values.
• Measurements reading mode.
Information for settings:
• Relay reference name.
Alphanumeric mnemonic string (max 16 characters) useful for identification of protected plant.
• Relay nominal frequency fn
This nominal value must be set same as the frequency of the grid.
Example: grid frequency fn = 50 Hz
Relay nominal frequency fn = 50 Hz
• Relay nominal voltage Un
Two reference voltage are available: UR=100 V and UR=400V
The Un relay nominal voltage must be set to the value of relay input voltages at grid nominal volt-
age.
The Un value must calculated as:
If VTs with primary nominal voltage is equal to the grid voltage divided by √3, the following stream-
lined calculus may be used:
Un = VTs secondary nominal voltage [V] x √3
Example 1
The relay nominal voltage may be set to:

• Relay residual nominal voltage UEn
Three instances are expected:
A) residual voltage acquired with open delta VT.
B) residual voltage measure by means VT connected from star-point and earth.
C) residual voltage measure by vector calculus.
Case A
The residual nominal voltage UEn may be estimated by means of the following general formula (ef-
fective for insulated neutral or impedance-ground connected grids):
If open delta VT with primary nominal voltage balances to the grid voltage divided by √3, the follow-
ing streamlined calculus may be used:
UEn = 3 · VT open delta secondary nominal voltage [V] for insulated or impedance-ground neutral
grids.
Example A1
The relay residual nominal voltage UEn must be estimated by means of the following general for-
mula:
UEn = √3 · Ung /KVT = √3 · 6900 / (√3 · 100) = 69 V
Example A2
The relay residual nominal voltage UEn must be indifferently estimated by means of the following
general formula:
UEn = √3 · Ung /KVT = √3 · 6000 / (√3 · 60) = 100 V
or by means the following:
UEn = 3 · Uns = 3 · 100 / 3 = 100 V
Case B
The relay residual nominal voltage UEn must be estimated by means of the following general for-
mula:
If a VT with primary nominal voltage equal to the grid voltage divided by √3 is connected from star
neutral to ground, the following streamlined calculus may be used:
UEn = VT secondary nominal voltage [V]
VT ratio KVT
UEn = Grid nominal voltage Ung where the VTs [V] x √3 are connected

UEn = (Ung /√3) /KVT = (10000 /√3) / (110/ √3) = 91 V
Example B2
The relay residual nominal voltage UEn may be estimated by means of the following general for-
mula: UEn = (Ung /√3) /KVT = (6000 /√3) / (60/ √3) = 100 V
Case C
The relay residual calculated nominal voltage UECn is estimated automatically by means of the for-
mula: UECn = √3∙ Un
Example C1
According with the example 2 where UEn = 100 V the relay residual calculated nominal voltage UECn
is calculated inside the relay as: UECn = Un ∙ √3 = 100 ∙ √3 = 173 V
• VTs Phase primary voltage Unp (phase-to-phase)
This parameter affects the measure of the input voltages when the primary measurement reading
mode is selected.
If the formerly indications concerning the relay nominal voltage Un are complied (Phase to ground
and phase-to-phase VTS connection diagrams), then the Unp setting must be adjusted to:
Unp = grid nominal voltage [V]].

• Residual primary voltage UEnp
This parameter affects the measure of the direct residual voltage when the primary measurement
reading mode is selected.
If the formerly indications concerning the relay nominal residual voltage UEn are complied, then the
UEnp setting must be adjusted to (effective for insulated neutral or impedance-ground connected
grids):

Thermal protection with RTD thermometric probes - 26
Preface
The measure of temperature is acquired by means of Pt100 (RTD Resistive Temperature sensing
Devices) probed, connected to the MPT module.[1]
A direct thermal protection element with eight PT100 thermometric probes (RTD Resistive Thermal
Device) provides protection against premature ageing or breakdown of the insulating materials
through overheating.
Thermal protection using thermometric probes offers greater reliability than Thermal overload-based
indirect protection, since it is not influenced by inaccuracies in the time constant for the thermal
model of the machinery and by variations in the surrounding temperature.
For each thermometric probe an alarm (ThALx, where x=1...8 points one of the eight probes) and one
trip adjustable threshold is provided (Th>x), with adjustable operating time (tThALx and tTh>x>);if the
measured temperature overcomes the threshold, the relative alarm and/or trip is issued when the
timer expires.
The adjustments are operable in °C.
The probes should be placed in strategic points around the machinery susceptible to the greatest
overheating, such as for example:
- near the generator stator windings, near the step-up transformer windings and/or in the oil, with the
aim of detecting overheating produced by the overload currents,
- near the generator bearings, with the aim of detecting localised overheating due to worn or non-
lubricated bearings.
The Pt100 probes detect the temperature in the range -50 °C...+250 °C (at 0 °C its resistance is 100
ohm); an alarm indicates any interruption or short-circuiting of the probe or related connections to
the MPT module; the information is available inside the Read \ PT100 menu:
• Ptx probe ON to point a measure inside the range
• Ptx probe LOW to point a measure lower the range (short circuit of probe and/or wires)
• Ptx probe HIGH ao point a measure higher the range (breaking of probe and/or wires).
Self reset is performed when faults are cleared.
The measure of each probe is updated at 2 s time intervals.
Note 1 The 26 menu is available when the MPT module is enabled

Undervoltage - 27
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (U<, U<<) with adjustable delay (tU<, tU<<).
The first one may be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second threshold operates
with definite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The first threshold trip (U<) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (U<<).
Operation and settings
The fundamental frequency of the input voltages (UL1, UL2, UL3) are employed.
Each of three voltages compared with the setting values (U<, U<<). The start and trip logic may be
selected OR or AND.
With OR selection, a start is issued when at least one of the three voltages goes down the adjust-
able threshold (START); with AND selection, a start is issued when all the three voltages go down
the adjustable threshold.
After expiry of the associated operate time (tU<, tU<<) a trip command is issued; if instead the volt-
ages exceed the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (U<) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.75 tU

Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (U>, U>>) with adjustable delay (tU>, tU>>).
The first one may be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second threshold operates
with definite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The first threshold trip (U>) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (U>>). .
Operation and settings
The fundamental frequency of input voltages are utilized.
Each of three voltages is compared with the setting values (U>, U>>).
The start and trip logic may be selected OR or AND; with OR selection, a start is issued when at
least one of the three voltages overcomes the adjustable threshold (START); after expiry of the as-
sociated operate time (tU>, tU>>) a trip command is issued; if instead the voltages drops below the
threshold, the element is restored.
With AND selection, a start is issued when all the three voltages overcomes the adjustable thresh-
old; after expiry of the associated operate time (tU>, tU>>) a trip command is issued; if instead the
voltage drops below the threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (U>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.5 tU>inv / [(U/U>inv) - 1]
Where:
t:
operate time
U>inv:
threshold setting
tU>inv:
operate time setting
For the inverse time characteristic, following data applies:
• The operate time setting is referred to an input voltage equal to 1.5 of the pickup value.
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 U>inv
• Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid: 1.1 ≤ U/U>inv ≤ 4
• If U>inv pickup ≥ 0.5 Un, the upper limit is 2 Un.
The first overvoltage element can be programmed with definite or inverse time characteristic by
setting the U>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, INVERSE) available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \
Overvoltage-59 \ U> Element \ Setpoints menu.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the U> Enable parameter inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Overvoltage-59 \ U> Element \ Setpoints menu and/or the State parameter
inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Overvoltage-59 \ U>> Element \ Definite time.
The operating logic (AND or OR) is adjustable inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Overvoltage-59 \ Com-
mon configuration menu by means the Logic59 parameter; the allowed settings are OR (at least
one voltage larger than threshold) or And (all three voltage must be larger than threshold).
The first threshold trip (U>) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (U>>) by setting ON
the U> Disabling by U>> start (U>disbyU>>) parameter available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \

Residual overvoltage - 59N
Preface
Two operation thresholds, independently adjustable (UE>, UE>>) with adjustable delay (tUE>, tUE>>).
The fundamental component of the residual voltage is computed, therefore the element is insensitive
to the third harmonic components.
The first threshold (UE>) can be programmed with definite or inverse time, while the second thresh-
old operates with definite time characteristic.
Each threshold may be separately enabled or disabled.
The first threshold trip (UE>) may be inhibited by start of the second threshold (UE>>).
Operation and settings
Two measuring criteria of the residual voltage are provided:
• Direct
• Calculated.
For direct measure the fundamental component of the residual voltage input is used (UE), whereas,
for calculated measure (UEC) the residual voltage comes from a vector sum of three phase voltage
phasors.
The residual voltage (UE or UEC) is compared with the setting values (UE>, UE>>); a start is issued
when the residual voltage overcomes the adjustable threshold (START); after expiry of the associ-
ated operate time (tUE>, tUE>>) a trip command is issued; if instead the voltage drops below the
threshold, the element is restored.
The first threshold (UE>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curve:
t=0.5 tUE>inv / [(UE/UE>inv) - 1] or
t=0.5 tUE> inv / [(UEC/UE>inv) - 1]
Where:
UE:
measured residual voltage
UEC:
calculated residual voltage
t:
operate time
UE>inv:
pickup value
tUE>inv:
operate time setting
For the inverse time characteristic, following data applies:
• The operate time setting is referred to an input voltage equal to 1.5 of the pickup value.
• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 UE>inv
• Minimum operate time:
0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid: 1.1 ≤ UE/UE>inv (UEC/UE>inv) ≤ 4
• If UE>inv pickup ≥ 0.5 UEn, the upper limit is 2 UEn.
The first residual overvoltage element can be programmed with definite or inverse time character-
istic by setting the UE> Curve parameter (DEFINITE, INVERSE) available inside the Set \ Profile
A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE> Element \ Setpoints menu.
For definite time characteristic the upper limit is 2 UEn.
Each element can be enabled or disabled by setting ON or OFF the UE> Enable parameter inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE> Element \ Setpoints menu and/or the State
parameter inside the Set\Profile A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ UE>> Element \ Definite time.
Selection of the measuring criteria of the residual voltage (direct measure or calculated measure) is
available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Residual overvoltage-59N \ Common configuration menu;
The 3Votype59N parameter may be select as UE (direct measure) or UEC (calculated measure).

Breaker failure - BF
Preface
When the protection issues a trip command but, because an anomaly, the circuit breaker cannot
open, the breaker failure protection issues a back-up trip command to trip adjacent circuit breakers.
The breaker failure function may be started by internal protective function (if associated with BF) or
by external protections.
Operation and settings
The starting of the timer occurs if both the following conditions are filled:
A) Start and trip of internal protective elements (trip of elements matched with BF protection) or, trip
of external protections acquired by means binary input, if enabled.
1) The CB is closed (the CB state may be acquired by means two binary inputs connected to the
auxiliary contacts 52a and 52b).
If both conditions are held along the set operate time tBF, the BF element trips at deadline, vice versa
the timer is cleared and the function is restored.
To the purpose to restore the BF element as quickly as possible, with start of the same protection
(see A condition), additionally to the trip of some internal protections, their starts are required (start
reset is faster than trip reset).
The element may be enabled or disabled by setting ON the BF Enable parameter available inside
the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Breaker failure-BF menu.
Logical block (Block1)
If the BF-BLK1 parameter (BF logical block) is set to ON, and a binary input is designed for logical
block (Block1), the breaker failure protection is blocked off whenever the given input is active. The
trip timer is held in reset condition, so the operate time counting starts when the input block goes
down.[1] The enabling parameter are available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Breaker failure-BF
menu, while the Block1 function must be assigned to the selected binary input inside the Set \
Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or INx matching).
BF start from Circuit breaker
If the CB Input parameter (BF Start from circuit breaker) is set to ON, and two binary inputs are
designed for acquire the 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts[2], the control of the CB position is enabled. If
the information concerning the CB position is not available, such control must be disabled by setting
OFF the CB Input parameter. The parameter is available inside the Set \ Profile A(or B) \ Breaker
failure-BF menu, the 52a and 52b function must be assigned to the selected binary inputs inside
Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or INx matching).
To enable the breaker failure protection to operate with trips coming from external protections, one
binary input must be designed to acquire the relative contacts. The TripProtExt function must be
assigned to the selected binary input inside the Set \ Inputs\Binary input IN1(x) menus (IN1 or INx
matching).

Logical block - BLOCK1
To the purpose to block off the trip of one protection element, the logical block function (Block1) may
be matched with binary inputs.[1]
The binary-matching may be set inside the Inputs submenu; to the purpose the Block1 parameter
must be selected for INx matching (x=1, 2)
A protective element, where the logical block is enabled, is blocked off whenever the given input is
ON.
For a given protective element, the logical block state is reading available (ThyVisor and communi-
cation interfaces); it is ON the following condition are at the same time observed:
• Binary input ON,
• Element start ON,
• Element Trip OFF.
The logical block it is not liable for any inhibition time-out, so the protective element is disabled for
the whole time when the input is ON.[2]
Note 1 In the following treatment, the logical block is defined as “Logical block” or “Block1”

Remote tripping
Preface
Some output relays may be programmed for remote trip function resulting from a command coming
from a binary input.
If a binary input is designed for remote trip acquisition, an output relay allocated to the same function
is triggered when the input (IN1 and/or IN2) is active.
Operation and settings
The Remote trip matching must be assigned to the selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \
Binary input1 or Set \ Inputs \ Binary inputx menus.
When a binary input is programmed for remote trip acquisition, the IN1 tON, IN2 tON, IN1 tOFF
and IN2 tOFF time delays must be reset to zero; the Logic parameters (ON/OFF) must be pro-
grammed in the same way of the related circuit connected with-it.
The RemTrip-K matching must be assigned to the selected output relays inside the Set \ Remote
tripping submenu; the same for addressing the LED indicators (RemTrip-L).
When output relays are programmed for remote tripping, the tTR time delays must reset to zero;
the operation mode must be set with self reset (No-latched inside Set \ Relays submenu) and the
Logic parameters (Energized/De-energized) must be programmed in the same way of the related
binary input connected with-it.
All the parameters are common for A and B Profiles.

Frequency tracking
Within the frequency range 45...55 Hz (fn = 50 Hz). or 54...63 Hz (fn = 60 Hz), a frequency tracking al-
gorithm adjusts the currents sampling frequency, so as to keep the number of samples in any given
period constant.
With 24 samples for periods the sampling rate is adjusted from 1.08 kHz with f = 45 Hz to 1.512 kHz with
f= 63 Hz.
For a frequency step change the tracking response time is 1 Hz/s.
The frequency measure is based on the largest voltage input.
• If the larger input voltage is lower than 1.5 % En the sampling frequency is fixed to fn (50 or 60 Hz).
• If the measured frequency is outside the locking range, the sampling frequency is fixed to the lower
or upper value (45 or 55 Hz with fn = 50 Hz, 54 or 63 Hz with fn = 63 Hz).
All protective elements are always operative; accuracy is guaranteed inside locked frequency
band.

Trip circuit supervision - 74TCS
Preface
The trip circuit can be monitored to signal possible anomalies that would lead to the missing opening
of circuit breaker when trip and/or operator command are issued.
Circuit interruption as well as missing of auxiliary voltage and/or coil faults are detected.
Supervision with one or two binary inputs can be select; depending on association of binary inputs,
the corresponding logic is automatically selected.
For this purpose the TCS1 and TCS2 (if two binary input are used) matching must be assigned to the
selected binary inputs inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1 and Set \ Inputs \ Binary input INx
menus.
When a binary input is programmed for the TCS function, the IN1 tON, INx tON, IN1 tOFF and
INx tOFF time delays must be reset to zero and the Logic parameter must be set to Active-ON
inside the Set \ Inputs \ Binary input IN1 and Set \ Inputs \ Binary input INx menus.
Operation and settings
The 74TCS element may be enabled or disabled; to enable it, the 74TCS Enable parameter must be
set to ON inside the Set \ Profile A(B) \ Trip circuit supervision-74TCS submenu.
A logic block can be set from une binary input.[1]
If the 74TCS-BLK1 parameter is set to ON, and a binary input is designed for logical block (Block1),
the TCS supervision function is blocked off whenever the given input is active. The trip timer is held
in reset condition, so the operate time counting starts when the input block goes down. The 74TCS-
BLK1 parameter is available inside the Set \ Profile A(B) \ Trip circuit supervision-74TCS submenu.
All the parameters can be set separately for Profile A and Profile B.
Two inputs supervision
With two binary input all malfunctions are detected (inclusive of mechanics faults).
The binary inputs are connected to the trip and to the 52b contacts.
The CB auxiliary voltage must be 36 V at least (twice the minimum threshold for every binary input).
The faulty condition is detected occurs if both the following conditions are filled:
A) The TRIP contact is closed (external protection relay tripped);
B) The circuit breaker is closed (52a closed and 52b open).
Because such conditions can arise with healthy circuit too (e.g. a trip command is issued by the
protection relay but the CB opening time is still in progress), to avoid untimely operations the previ-
ous condition are checked every 80 ms and the output is issued after a 2 s delay; outputs are reset
to zero if at least the A or B condition become false after 0.6 s delay.[2]
Note 1 Since two binary inputs are just used (TCS1 and TCS2), an external I/O module is required for the logic block function. The exhaustive treatment
of the logic block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITORING section
Note 2 Following assumption are considered for the framework:
Logic: ON,
Timers tON and tOFF: reset to zero
TRIP contact of the protection: DE-energized, No latched

One input supervision
By means of the right sizing of a resistor, the trip circuit supervision may be performed even with
lower control voltage (e.g. when the control voltage is less than 36 V required for driving of two
binary inputs, typically UAUX = 24V).
The binary input is connected to the trip and an external resistor must be connected the 52b auxiliary
contact.
The fault condition of the trip circuit is detected by binary input power down.
With healthy circuit and TRIP contact closed, the binary input is feed across the 52a path (CB closed)
or across the resistor R and 52b path (CB open).
When the TRIP contact turns ON, the binary input becomes short-circuited; to avoid untimely opera-
tions the previous condition are checked every 80 ms and the output is issued after a 40 s delay in
order to allow the fault clearing and the consequent reset of the TRIP protection.
Outputs are reset to zero after 6 s from the TRIP contact open.[1]
Note 1 The trip contact (TRIP) of the protection relays must be set with automatic reset (No-latched operating mode).

How to calculate resistance
Both the following conditions must be filled:
1) The circuit breaker coil must no be powered when the CB is open and an open command is is-
sued;
2) The binary input is energized when the trip contact open.
1) If the circuit breaker is just open an unnecessary excitation must be avoided; the most critical
event arises when the TRIP contact is closed (e.g. manual or test command), so with minimal
series resistance. To avoid an unwanted excitation the series resistance must be higher than a
minimum value defined as:
Rmin = RTC · (UAUX - UTCmin) / UTCmin
where:
UTCmin: minimum coil excitation voltage
UAUX: auxiliary voltage
RTC: coil resistance
2) To energize the binary input circuit when the TRIP contact and CB open, the series resistance
must be lowerer than a maximum value defined as:
Rmax = [(UAUX - UDIGmin) / IDIG] - RTC
where:
UDIGmin: minimum binary input excitation voltage (18 V)
UAUX: auxiliary voltage
RTC: coil resistance
IDIG: binary input excitation current (0.003 A)
To satisfy the above requirements, the R value must be chosen between the Rmin and Rmax values;
typically the normalized value nearest the arithmetic mean:
R = (Rmin + Rmax) / 2
The power dissipated by the R resistor is:
PR = R · I 2 = R · [UAUX / (R + RTC)] 2
Example
UAUX = 110 Vcc (auxiliary voltage)
PTC = 50 W (coil power)
RTC = UAUX2 / PTC = 242 Ω (coil resistance)
UTCmin = 77 V (minimum coil excitation voltage = 70% UAUX )
UDIGmin = 18 V (minimum binary input excitation voltage)
IDIG = 0.003 A (binary input excitation current)
Rmin = RTC · (UAUX - UTCmin) / UTCmin = 242 · (110 - 77) / 77 = 103.7 Ω
Rmax = [(UAUX - UDIGmin) / IDIG] - RTC = [(110 - 18) / 0.003] - 242 = 30425 Ω
R = (Rmin + Rmax) / 2 = (103.7 + 30425) / 2 = 15264 Ω ~ 15 k Ω
PR (Power dissipated by the R resistor) = UAUX2 /R = 1102 / 15000 = 0.8 W

Circuit breaker supervision
Preface
Several diagnostic metering and monitoring function are available:
• By means 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts, the CB position is acquired. Depending on such information
the Open and/or Close commands can be safely issued by user.
• An adjustable threshold can be set for a wear estimate of the breaker contacts; the current values
(SI or SI2) are summed and compared to a user-adjustable threshold. When the threshold or the
number of operations is exceeded the relay can activate an output relay. The function helps to
adjust maintenance planning.
• By means 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts, the opening time is calculated and compared to a user-ad-
justable threshold. If the threshold is exceeded the relay can activate an output relay.
Operation and settings
According to the conventional contact position
• 52a is the auxiliary contact that is in the same position as the circuit breaker, (52a open = CB
open),
• 52b is the auxiliary contact that is in the opposite position as the circuit breaker, (52a open = CB
closed).
To acquire the CB position, the 52a and 52b function must be set inside the Set\Inputs\Binary input 1
and Set\Inputs\Binary input 2 menus. The IN1 tON, IN2 tON, IN1 tOFF and IN2 tOFF time delays
must be reset to zero and the Logic parameter must be set to Active-ON inside the Set\Inputs\Bi-
nary input IN1 and Set\Inputs\Binary input IN2 menus.
CIRCUIT BREAKER COMMANDS
Two output relays can be set to command CB opening and closing; the CBopen-K and CBclose-K
function must be set inside the Set\Circuit breaker supervision\LEDs-relays allocation menu; the CB
position can be visualized by means two LEDs (CBopen-L and CBclosed-L parameters).
All the parameters are common for Profile A and Profile B.
CIRCUIT BREAKER DIAGNOSTIC
Four different criteria can be select.
1) Number of CB trip mode (ModeN.Open ON). When the number of operations (N.Open) is ex-
ceeded, an output relay and/or LED can be activated.
2) Cumulative CB currents mode (ModeSumI ON). When the per-phase value exceeds the thresh-
old, an output relay and/or LED can be activated.
3) Cumulative CB I2t mode (ModeSumI^2t ON). The tripping energy I2t is calculated on the base of
current measure at the time of the open command on the base of the circuit breaker opening time
provided for I2t calculation (tbreak). When the per-phase value exceeds the threshold, an output
relay and/or LED can be activated.
4) CB operating time mode (Mode-tOpen ON). The time interval between the trip command and the
CB open acquisition is calculated on the base of a programmable relay (Ktrig-break). When the
time interval (tbreak>) is exceeded, an output relay and/or LED can be activated.
The four criteria can be contemporaneously or separately set.
All the named parameters are available inside the Set\Circuit Breaker supervision\CB Diagnostic
menu.

— Virtual I/O
Preface
By ThyVisor and ThyVisor software tools the type of operation and links between outputs (Virtual
Output - VOUT1 ... 16) and virtual inputs (Virtual Inputs - VIN1 ... VIN32) may be defined using RPC or
IEC 61850 communication protocols over Ethernet network.
The system allows:[1]
• Availability of sixteen inputs and thirty-two outputs independently programmable by the user
• Simplify wiring using one channel as the Ethernet
• Eliminate the need to install communication devices and / or external conversion
• Significantly reduce costs
• Dynamically change from sw connections and associated functions.
Applications
With Pro-N and Pro-XX relay the virtual I / O can be usefully employed for:
• Transmit information between protections installed in significant distance where the traditional
connections are critical in terms of reliability.
• Making OR logic for opening control of multiple DDI (simultaneous control of all DDI operated by
each SPI) in cases of multiple interface protections (Smart Grids)
• Achieve accelerated logic discrimination in which some protection elements can be blocked by the
activation of the downstream protection start; this allows to reduce the clearing time that, in time
logic systems require trip time significantly long in correspondence of the power source.
• Circuit breaker commands
• Selection of setting profiles
• Remote trip
• Include I / O in the programmable logic (PLC)
• etc. ..

Fault recording - SFR
Recording is triggered by one or more causes (up to 8 simultaneous):
• Activation (OFF-ON transition) of any relay programmed for trip of protection or control element
• External trigger (binary input programmed as Fault trigger)
Twenty events are recorded into a circular FIFO (First In, First Out) buffer.[1][2]
Following information are stored in every record:
• Fault counter[3]
• Date and time
• Fault cause (element trip)
• Input voltages UL1r, UL2r, UL3r
• Measured residual voltage UEr
• Calculated residual voltage UECr
Note 1 Fault 0 is the newest fault, while the Fault 19 is the oldest fault
Note 2 Data are stored in non volatile memory; they are held in spite of power down
Note 3 Counter is updated at any new record; it may be cleared by means ThyVisor

Oscillography - DFR
Upon programmable trigger, the fault records are recorded in COMTRADE format; the sampled mea-
sures (24 sample per cycle) are stored in a circular shift memory buffer.
The fault record are self-triggered; they are stored in sequential order up the allocated memory is
used up after which the oldest memory is overwritten.
An operating procedure example for the digital fault recording is illustrated inside the ThyVisor sec-
tion.
Following parameters are user-programmable:
• Pre-trigger and post-trigger time
• Selected sampled quantities.
• Analog channels (1...12) allocation.
• Digital channels (1...12) allocation (output relay and/or binary inputs).
• Trigger setup; the information storage starts when a state transition on the selected signal occurs.
(protective element start and/or trip, output relay and/or binary input switching).
• Alarm: when the 80% of the buffer space is reached an alarm may be issued. The system being of
linear type, the records are back-to-back recorded to the end of available memory; the alarm out-
put is a warning in order that the user may download data[3] to clear memory for new records.
Following parameters are user-programmable:
Sample channels
• Instantaneous value for input voltages uL1, uL2, uL3
• Instantaneous value for residual voltage uE
Analog channels
• Frequency f
• Fundamental component for input voltages UL1, UL2, UL3
• Fundamental component for measured residual voltage UE
• Fundamental component for calculated residual voltage UEC

COMTRADE
Records are recorded in COMTRADE format; (Common Format for Transient Data); This is a standard
for the data exchange for various types of tests or simulation datas, etc, for power system applica-
tions.
The measurements are recorded in ASCII or BINARY format. COMTRADE files always come by
pairs:
• The “.CFG”-file describing the configuration: number of analog and digital channels, sampling rate,
scale factors, etc.
• The “.DAT”-file containing the data
The COMTRADE is part of IEC 60255-24 standard.
The recording can be analyzed by mean of ThyVisor sw or any other standard compliant viewer.
Note 1 Event 0 is the newest event, while the Event 299 is the oldest event
Note 2 Counter is updated at any new record; it may be cleared by means of ThyVisor
Note 1 Data are stored into non-volatile memory; they are retained once power is turned off.

PACKAGING
Packaging consists of a polystyrene foam packaging guaranteeing adequate protection for transport
and storage under normal environmental conditions.
The Pro_N protection relays must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative hu-
midity should not cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions.
It is recommended that the packaging not be disposed of into the environment, but kept in case the
relay should be moved at some later time.
6.2
MOUNTING
The Pro_N protection relays are housed inside metal cases suitable for various kinds of assembly:
• Flush mounting
• Projecting mounting
• With separate operator panel
• 19 “ Rack.
Removability is ensured to facilitate maintenance operations so that the electronic module can be
replaced; this provides minimum downtime and maximum protection availability.
Flush mounting
The fixed case, fitted with special fastening brackets, is mounted on the front of electric control
board, previously drilled as indicated in the drawing.
In case of side-by-side mounting of several relays the minimum drilling distance is determined by
the front dimensions indicated in the overall dimensions drawing, increased by 3 mm, to ensure an
adequate tolerance and gasket space between adjacent relays.
The depth dimension, as indicated in the drawing, must be increased by as much as needed to allow
room for the wiring.

The dry input circuits, despite being galvanically isolated, must preferably be supplied with the same
auxiliary voltage of the control panel.
The inputs are polarity free with wide voltage range.
The optoisolated inputs are immune to transitory interferences, however the following recommenda-
tion must be considered in high disturbed environments:
• Position input wiring away from high energy sources.
• Set a debounce timer (tON and/or tOFF) to alloy the transient to decay.
• Use shielded cables with ground connection on only one end (preferably at the relay side.
Output relays
Six output relays are available.
It is advisable to verify that the technical characteristic of the contacts be suitable for the applied
load (about current, nominal voltage, make and break current , etc..).
Output relay K1 and K2 have one change over contacts (SPDT, type C).
Output relay K3 and K4 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A) and a common reference (A10
terminal).
Output relay K5 and K6 have one make contact (SPST-NO, type A for K5), one break contact (SPST-
NC, type B for K6) and a common reference (A13 terminal).
All contacts are shown in de-energized state for standard reference.
For all diagrams the output contacts are shown in de-energized state for standard reference.
USB port
The link from PC and NV10 USB port must be established by the calbe L10042 (USB Type B - Type A)
After installation, the same communication port must be selected to define the ThyVisor parameters
(typically COM4, COM5,...).

The maximum length of the Pro-N device - module link is:
• 2 m for MRI module (max one module)
• 20 m for MMOS-4 module (max one MMI module)
• 30 m for MID16 and MPT modules
• 2 m for MPT module (max one Pt100 module)
• 2 m for MCI module (max one current converter module)
For upgrading, that may be operated at any time with in service devices too, the following operations
must be performed:
• Turn OFF power supply
• Connect the auxiliary modules to the Thybus port in daisy chain mode following the INPUT-OUTPUT
sequence.[1]
If two MID16 (binary inputs) are installed, the hardware address must be set to avoid communication
collisions on the Thybus; for this purpose the default address must be changed on one module, by
means of dip-switch on the top circuit board (front plate must be removed).
• Turn on power
• Go on to the sw setting (see SETTING section of instruction manual).
Note 1 The insertion order is free.
One MRI module, two MID16 modules, one MPT module, one MCI module and one MMI module (separate operator panel) can be connect at the
same time to the Thybus port (maximum expansion).

MAINTENANCE
The Pro-N relays do not require any particular maintenance; all circuits use high quality static com-
ponents, the subassembly products undergo dynamic checks on their functioning before the final
assembling of the complete equipment. The dedicated circuits and the firmware for the self-test
function continuously check the relay operation; the continuously operating auto-zeroing function
dynamically corrects the measuring errors due to offset, heat dependent drifts, aging of compo-
nents, etc. The processor is equipped with a watch-dog circuit which restores the correct operation
of the firmware in case of fault.
If the following criteria are properly implemented:
• comprehensive functional tests at commissioning,
• absence of significant modification on the protection system,
• activation and permanent remote control of self-test alarms through supervision,
• control of self-test undetectable failures (comparing of measures with the external instruments,
auxiliary voltage control, etc ..)
• analysis of the stored information (faults and events, and oscillographic records),
periodic checks can be avoided. In the absence of some of the criteria listed above, it is advisable to
perform periodic checks every five years.
7.5
REPAIR
No repair of possible faults by the client is foreseen; if following to any irregularity of operation, the
above tests confirm the presence of a fault, it will be necessary to send the relay to the factory for
the repair and the consequent settings and checks.
7.6
PACKAGING
The Pro-N devices must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative humidity should
not cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions, it is recommended that the device is supplied with power for
some hours before the commissioning, in order to bring the circuits to the rating conditions and to
stabilize the operation of the components.
