The basic MLJ1000 equipment and the equipment linkable via RS-485 is mounted in a 2-inch module, compatible with industrial MID systems, or in a 1/8 rack as an individual relay.
GEK - 105560 2. APPLICATION 2.1 DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS Measurement accuracy The differential angle measurement of the MLJ is high precision and is limited solely by errors in available voltage transformers . The measurement of the angle is practically independent of the voltage. In the MLJ the measurement is obtained via a numerical calculation done on digital voltage samples, thus achieving high precision.

GEK - 105560 There is also a time for sustaining the permission signal, which always has a fixed value of some 130 ms., being the result of a prefixed delay of 100 ms. added to the dropout time of the measurement units (one cycle = 20 ms.
GEK - 105560 2.2 APPLICATIONS Synchronism In general, synchronism check is intended primly for application where the two parts of a system to be joined by the closure of a circuit breaker are interconnected at other points throughout the system. Usually, performing synchronism check measurements is done with relatively long times in order to make sure the voltages are synchronized.

GEK - 105560 In a large majority of cases, the typical slip can be set at around 20 to 40 mHz. This is the situation for short lines. In lines with short “dead times”, that is, immediate reclosing in the remote end, with very similar operation in case of internal faults in both circuit breakers and channel transmission times less than 25 ms, the slip setting may be set at 200 to 250 mHz.

GEK - 105560 Application of voltage As the MLJ is equipped with instantaneous undervoltage monitoring in two inputs (line and bus), and with undervoltage and overvoltage levels (live and dead), it can be used as a relay in a large number of applications such as: •...
GEK - 105560 3. OPERATION PRINCIPLES The MLJ can be described as the function of a group of different units, each being responsible for one part of the overall operation. 3.1 CONFIGURATION UNIT The configuration unit allows us to select and change the following parameters: •...
GEK - 105560 3.2.1 Mode of Operation Using an analog to digital converter, samples of line and bus voltages are acquired. From the samples, and applying the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), the module and argument of both magnitudes are obtained, and from them, the voltage and angle differences. With the measurement of the period, the frequency slip is obtained.
GEK - 105560 3.2.2 Settings The synchronism unit is assigned the following settings: 1-1: ∆V: Voltage difference (modulus of vector difference).

GEK - 105560 3.3 UNDERVOLTAGE UNIT Besides the undervoltage described in and linked with the synchronism unit, there is an independent unit which has various undervoltage and overvoltage functions to allow for the closure of the circuit breaker in dead lines and/or bus situations (see figure 1). 3.3.1 Mode of Operation The modulus are calculated from the line and bus voltage phasors and then compared with the settings.

Shock test According to IEC 255-21-2, class II. The MLJ relay complies with these regulations, which include the GE standard of insulation and electromagnetic compatibility and the standards required for the Community Standard 89/336 for the European Community CE label, under the harmonized European regulations. It also complies with the European directive requirements for low voltage, and the environmental and operative requirements established in regulations ANSI C37.90, IEC 255-5, IEC 255-6 and IEC 68.
GEK - 105560 5. DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE 5.1 CASE The case of the MLJ is made of steel plate, with an anti-corrosion treatment and painted with epoxy powder paint. The standard dimensions are shown in figure 3. The front cover is made of a transparent plastic material fitted tightly to the case, forming a seal that prevents dust from entering and protects it from any accidental tampering.

GEK - 105560 Displays Three red seven segment displays (LED type) are used to supply information to the user and to make it easier to set the relay. LEDs In addition to the displays described above, there are three LEDs which provide the following information: •...
GEK - 105560 6. OPERATION OF MLJ (KEYPAD AND DISPLAY) The MLJ is operated by means of three push-buttons located on the front. These buttons are lined up vertically and, from top to bottom; they are “ENTER”, “+”, and “–”. The first button is indicated with an arrow (see figure 2), although throughout this manual it is referred to as ENTER.
GEK - 105560 6.1 READOUT SEQUENCE This is the typical sequence for the MLJ as well as the power-up sequence. It is divided into a series of “Functions”, each corresponding to different types of information. These functions are numbered from 1 to 12 and are identified by the letter F followed by the number of the function.
GEK - 105560 6.1.1 F0: State of relay, error codes The state of the MLJ presented by a two-digit code. The decimal points remain lit so as to distinguish the code from other readings. A 00 code (everything correct) would be represented as follows: The state codes for the MLJ, in order of priority, are: 0.0.

GEK - 105560 In the first two situations we can go forward or backward throughout the entire list of settings by simply pressing the “+” or the “-” button. On the nameplate, under the word “SETTINGS” a complete list can be found.
GEK - 105560 6.3 CALIBRATION SEQUENCE Under normal conditions, the relay will not need to be calibrated. The calibration of this protection is done in the factory in a controlled environment with high precision equipment. Therefore, not only is it unnecessary to recalibrate the relay, but also not recommended. The relay has a single gain calibration by means of a potentiometer (see figure 6).
GEK - 105560 6.4 SUMMARY OF SETTINGS Following, is a table containing a summary of all the settings of the MLJ relay. In addition to the description and the setting code, the allowable values, step and default value (the value the relay comes with from the factory) are indicated.

GEK - 105560 7. ACCEPTANCE TESTS 7.1 INTRODUCTION Given the digital nature of this relay, in most occasions making sure that the relay measures correctly will guarantee proper performance, since all of the logic of measurement and protection is implemented by means of programming. In order to do this, the voltages in the line and bus need only to be measured with a multimeter and make sure they coincide, within the specified accuracy, with the reading indicated on the screen.
GEK - 105560 visualized by applying a voltage greater than 10 V to the line and the buses. The readout should be 0 mHz. 7.4.1 Voltage unit test The setting by defect is used for the voltage difference; In this case 15 V. Apply continuous voltage to input 52b (simulates open circuit breaker).
GEK - 105560 7.6 CONTINUOUS AND MANUAL MODE TESTS With the default settings, the delay in continuous mode is 0.1 s and in manual mode it is 10 s. This helps to know when the relay acts in one mode or the other. Manual mode Apply continuous voltage to inputs MANUAL, ENABLE and 52b.
