1. Introduction and Application
The motor protection relay MRM3-2 offers reliable protection for LV and MV motors which are ei-
ther operated via power contactors or power circuit breakers.
The following functions are integrated into this relay:
•Overload protection acc. to IEC 255-8 in consideration of the initial load factor
(thermal image)
•Definite undercurrent protection
•Definite time over current protection (DMT)
•Inverse time over current protection (IMT) with select-able trip characteristics
•Short-circuit protection
•Load unbalance supervision with definite or inverse trip characteristics
•Earth-fault detection with suppression of harmonics
The MRM3-2 recognizes the “Start-Up“ and “Motor Running“ phase.
Motors with a limited number of starts can be controlled by the start limiting function of the relay.
The earth-fault supervision is either realized in Holm-green connection or by means of a core-type
current transformer.
The motor can be stopped in delayed or undelayed mode via digital inputs.
The MRM3-2 is available with rated currents of 1A or 5A.
Important:
For additional common data of all MR-relays please refer to manual "MR - Digital Multifunctional re-
lays". On page 45 of this manual you can find the valid software versions.

3.1 Connections
Figure 3.1: Connection Diagram MRM3-2
Figure 3.2: Measuring of phase currents and earth current detection in Holmgreen connection (IE)
This kind of connection can be used where three phase CTs are available and a combination of
phase and earth current measuring is required.

Figure 3.3: Measuring of earth current with core-type CT (IE)
With the combination of phase and earth current measuring, CTs to be connected according to
Figure 3.2. and Figure 3.3.
3.1.1 Analog Inputs
The analog input signals of the phase currents IL1 (B3 - B4), IL2 (B5 - B6), IL3 (B7 - B8) and the earth
current IE(B1 - B2) are fed to the protection device via separate input CTs.
The current measuring quantities are galvanic decoupled, analogously filtered, and then fed to the
analog/digital converter.
3.1.2 Output Relays
The MRM3-2 has 5 output relays. Two of these relays with two change-over contacts and three re-
lays with one change-over contact each are used for signaling. The protective functions can be
freely allocated except of those for the self-supervision relay.
•Relay 1: C1, D1, E1 and C2, D2, E2
•Relay 2: C3, D3, E3 and C4, D4, E4
•Relay 3: C5, D5, E5
•Relay 4: C6, D6, E6
•Relay 5: Self-supervision C7, D7, E7
All relays are operating according to the n. o. principle with the exception of the self-supervision re-
lay, which operates acc. to the n. c. principle.

3.1.4 Low/High Range of the Digital Inputs
The MRM3-2 is equipped with a wide-range power supply unit and hence the supply voltage is
freely selectable. The switching threshold of the digital inputs, however, has to be fixed in com-
pliance with the supply voltage. Two different switching thresholds can be adjusted:

3.3 Analog part
The alternating currents injected by the CTs are converted into galvanical isolated voltages via in-
put transmitters and burden in the analog part.
The effect of inductive and capacitive coupled interferences are suppressed by RC analog filters.
The measuring voltages are fed to the analog inputs (A/D trans-former) of the micro-processor and
then converted into digital signals by means of sample and hold circuits. These digitized values are
then used for further processing. The measuring values are acquired at fn = 50 Hz (fn = 60 Hz) with
a sampling frequency of 800 Hz (960 Hz), and thus the instantaneous values of the measured
quantities are acquired every 1.25 ms (1.04 ms).

Manual MRM3-2 GB Woodward
TD_MRM3-2_09.08_GB_Rev.New 13
3.4 Digital part
The protection relay is equipped with a powerful micro-controller, being the core element of the pro-
tection unit. With this micro-controller all tasks are completely digitally processed, from discretisa-
tion of the measuring quantities to protective tripping.
With the protection program, stored in the program storage (EPROM), the micro-processor
processes the voltages applied to the analog inputs and from this calculates the fundamental har-
monics of the current. Digital filtering (DFFT-Discrete Fast-Fourier-Transformation) for suppression
of harmonics as well as suppression of DC components during the short-circuit is used in the
process.
The micro-processor compares the existing current with the threshold value (setting value) stored
in the parameter storage (EEPROM) and up-dates the thermal image. If a current exceeds the
threshold value for longer than the trip delay or if the thermal image exceeds its rated value, a fault
signal occurs. Dependent on their settings, the output relays pick up as well. When setting the pa-
rameters, all setting values are read-in by the micro-processor and saved in the parameter storage.
The program flow is continuously monitored by the incorporated "Hardware-Watchdog". Processor
failure is signaled by the “Self supervision” output relay.

4. Working Principle
4.1 Start Recognition
The MRM3-2 monitors the flow of the current from which the following operational conditions of the
motor are gathered.
•STOP
•START
•RUNNING
Figure 4.1: Different Start-Up Behavior of Motors
STOP - Condition:
If no current can be measured (I < Stop threshold), STOP conditions are recognized after expira-
tion of the stop time.
Start/Stop Threshold
This threshold is fixed at 2% of IN
Stop time:
The Stop time is adjustable in order to tolerate a brief off-time of the current flow (e.g. change-over
Star/Delta) from the START or RUNNING conditions. STOP is only indicated if the current was un-
der 2% IN for longer than the stop time. Based on this time the running down period can be consi-
dered in a certain way for the LED indication.
START-Condition:
START is only recognized if the previous condition was STOP and the motor current has exceeded
the start threshold. If the STOP or RUNNING conditions are recognized, the START condition is
terminated.

Manual MRM3-2 GB Woodward
TD_MRM3-2_09.08_GB_Rev.New 15
Overload Threshold:
This corresponds to the permissible thermal continuous current k x IB and is adjusted by the
parameter of the thermal image.
Starter Recognition Time:
This adjustable time has only to be extended for special start procedures in order to prevent that
the RUNNING conditions are indicated too early in advance.
•No exceeding of the start threshold during pony motor start-up or when soft starters are
used.
•Multistage resistance start where the start threshold is either exceeded several times or not
at all.
The time is running from the instance the start threshold is exceeded. RUNNING is only accepted
by the supervision after the time has elapsed or the overload threshold is undershot. If the overload
threshold is not a clear criterion, the time has to be set at least for so long that the longest regular
start procedure is covered.
RUNNING can be recognized in different ways:
•If the START has been successfully completed. This is the case when the motor current
has dropped below k x IBand the start recognition time has elapsed. (direct start)
or
•if the motor is connected across several resistance steps, it is possible that the start thre
shold is passed through repeatedly. RUNNING conditions are recognized when the start
recognition time has run out after the last step and a current has settled between 2% IN
and k x IB t. (Resistance start).
•if after STOP a motor current has settled between 2% INand k x IBand the start recogni-
tion time has elapsed. The overload threshold has not necessarily to be exceeded.
(soft start)
•If the «Motor Running» input was activated but the overload threshold is not (or not any
longer) exceeded. (See Chapter 5.12.3 )
With the recognition of STOP, the RUNNING conditions have ceased to exist.

4.1.1 Criteria for Blocking the Start
Number of monitored starts :
The MRM3-2 is equipped with a flexible supervision element which can limit the sequence of poss-
ible starts.
A start should be prevented if it is obvious that it is likely to be interrupted due to overload so that in
total the down-time can be curtailed. If a start is not recommendable at a certain time (with the mo-
tor switched off), the MRM3-2 activates an allocated output relay until the waiting time has elapsed.
Irrespectively of the adjustment of this element, the thermal image is always activated and shuts
the motor down as soon as the thermal overload threshold is reached (due to a start or overload).
The protective element can either be tied to the thermal image or be manually defined by the num-
ber of starts and cycle duration.
Number of Starts/Cycle Duration
These two are defined as parameters.
Example:
The motor should be allowed to be started three times an hour:
This means that in theory the motor can be started every 20 minutes (= 60 min/3).
From this it can be concluded that the load generated by the start procedure has decayed after
these 20 minutes. If the motor would be successfully started three time in quick succession, an
immediate fourth start would overload the motor. The start blocking relay would be activated and
the next start would only be advisable after about 20 minutes. The protective element ensures that
the start sequence is kept within safe intervals but that at least three starts are allowed during the
given time frame. If the intervals between each start are long enough then even more than three
starts an hour might be possible because the motor was able to cool down in the mean time. The
delay can be firmly defined (through start blocking time) or be automatically ascertained (VARI )un-
til the 20 minutes given in the example are over. The state of the thermal image has no influence.
on the delay

Figure 4.4: Relation Start Period/Start Blocking Time with firm Start Blocking Time
Thermal Image
A start is always possible as long as there is enough thermal reserve for a start. This start limitation
is a dynamic one and is orientated on the data the thermal image is parameterized with. For this
the MRM3-2 detects the average thermal load of the latest starts. With the motor shut down, the
start blocking relay is activated for the time when there is not enough thermal re-serve in the sto-
rage through cooling down to enable a new start.
Figure 4.5: Start Blocking through Thermal Image

Woodward Manual MRM3-2 GB

4.2 Starting time
With certain applications it is possible that the starting phase of the engines is extended. One rea-
son for this insufficient terminal voltage which may be caused by the high starting current or by a
high grid load in general. When starting under load, the starting phases must not be too long be-
cause this could overheat the motor.For these applications the MRM3-2 offers a variable maximum
starting time. It refers to the rated starting current of the motor I_Start. If the actual starting current
(e.g. at 80% UN) is lower than the rated starting current, the starting time is extended automatically.
Q = I² x ts
The supplied heat energy is equal to the square value of the current times the starting time. If the
starting current decreases, the starting time can be extended. This time can be extended by a max-
imum of twice the set value. If the actual starting current is higher than its rated value, the max.
starting time decreases (refer to Fig. 7).
4.3 Thermal Image
The fed thermal energy Q and the temperature ϑof the motor when in steady state condition is
proportional to the square of the phase current (e.g. ohmic losses and iron losses):
Q ∼I² oder ϑ∼I2
In the thermal image this temperature is described by the temperature equivalent ϑ(in %). For
loading with the maximal permissible operational current k x IB, the motor reaches the maximal
permissible temperature ϑB. if it has been in steady state condition for a certain time. For this load
the thermal equivalent is defined to 100% = trip threshold:
Stationary final value:
ϑ󰇛%󰇜I
󰇛k·IB󰇜·100%
Note:
When testing the thermal image it has to be taken into consideration that in case k x IBis slightly
exceeded
(= long tripping time), a small current change within the permissible measuring tolerances can
cause a high dispersion of the tripping time (clearly by more than 1%). This is related to the slope
of the trip characteristic. Furthermore it is important to start from the same initial level of the image
when testing. Otherwise the tripping times may be shorter than expected.
Automatic Reset
During the starting process the MRM3-2 observes the rise of the thermal image. From the average
of the last two successful starts the unit detects the start load. After overload conditions, the ther-
mal image is only released when the motor has cooled down far enough to deal with the demand of
a new start.

4.4 Requirement on the Main Current Transformers
The CTs chosen have a considerable influence on the accuracy of the protective system. In order
to select the right type of transformer, the requirements and conditions on site have to be consi-
dered carefully.
Type of Transformer
Current transformers have to be designed as protection transformers (P).
Over current Factor:
To ensure precise operation of the protection unit even under full short-circuit current, the chosen
transformers must not saturate in this current range. This means that the overload factor must be
sufficiently large.
Class
For the nominal range or the lower load range it has to be taken into account that not only the basic
accuracy of the MRM3-2 has to be considered but also the transformer accuracy. This applies es-
pecially for cases where the Holmgreen circuit is used and for low earth fault currents in isolated
networks.
Power Rating
The transformer must be rated sufficiently to cover all measuring instruments and protective devic-
es connected as well as the losses on the transformer measuring line without becoming over-
loaded.
