Mikro MK231A User manual

1. DESCRIPTION
MK231A Earth-fault Relay User's Guide
The MK231A is a microprocessor based numerical earth-fault relay. It uses fundamental frequency
The 4-digit panel display on the
MK231A allows the display of present load current; recorded fault current for last tripping; and all
setting of the relay.
start/

current measurement for excellent harmonic current rejection. The relay provides two- element (low-set
and high-set) earth-fault protection with definite time characteristic.

2. LIGHT INDICATORS
The indicators display the status of the system as follow:
Table 1: System Status
1 = ON 0 = OFF X= don’t care, not blinking
B = blinking DT = DATA FUNC = FUNCTION

4 off Low-set current setting.
5 off Low-set delay time setting.
6 off High-set current setting.
7 off High-set delay time setting.
8 off Soft switch setting.
Under normal operating condition, The 4-digit display
is off. When the RESET key is pressed, the 4-digit
display will light up. The display will switch off
automatically after 6 minutes if no further key is
pressed.
Press RESET key until the function digit
shows required function.
Press the UP and DOWN key
simultaneously to enter programming
mode. The function digit will blinks to
indicates the relay is in programming
Use the UP or DOWN key to select the
desired value.
To save the selected value, press the
UP and DOWN key simultaneously again.
It will exit the programming mode with the
data digits displaying new setting.
To exit programming mode without saving the
selected setting, press the RESET key once.
Figure 1: Scroll sequence
Press the “RESET” button to reset the relay when
tripped.
When the relay is not under tripped condition,
pressing the “RESET” button will scroll through the
various functions.
Press the “TEST” button to simulate a trip
5. SOFT SWITCHES
TheMK231A incorporates 3 soft switches for system
configuration. When the function digit shows “8”, the
relay is in soft switch setting mode.

The MK231A has two set of output contact:
(i) CONTACT R1 - linked to trip signal.
The output contact can be programmed to be either
auto reset type or manual reset type.
For auto reset type, the contact remain activated until
the fault current is removed.
For manual reset type, the contact remain activated.
(i) CONTACT R2 - linked to trip or start signal.
Contact R2 linked to trip signal auto reset type.
Contact R1 linked to trip signal auto reset type.
Contact R1 linked to trip signal manual reset type.
Contact R2 linked to trip signal manual reset type.
Contact R2 linked to signal auto reset type.
Contact R2 linked to signal manual reset type.
