When using multiple frequency bands, the lower limit of the previous band becomes the upper limit for the next band,
i.e., Low Band #2 is the upper limit for Band #3, and so forth. Frequency bands must be used in sequential order, 1 to 6.
Band #1 must be enabled to use Bands #2#6. If any band is disabled, all following bands are disabled.
When frequency is within an enabled band limit, accumulation time starts (there is an internal ten cycle delay prior to
accumulation) and allows the underfrequency blade resonance to be established to avoid unnecessary accumulation of
time. When duration is greater than set delay, the alarm asserts and a target log entry is made.
The pickup accuracy applies to 60 Hz models at a range of 57 to 63 Hz, and 50 Hz models at a range of 47 to 53 Hz.
Beyond these ranges, the accuracy is 0.1 Hz.

Phase A, B, C
The Breaker Monitor feature calculates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring
and integrating the current (or current squared) through the breaker contacts as an arc.
The per-phase values are added to an accumulated total for each phase, and then compared to a user-pro-
grammed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set a programmable output
contact.
The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed.
The Breaker Monitoring feature requires an initiating contact to begin accumulation, and the accumulation begins
after the set time delay.
Trip Circuit Monitoring
The AUX input is provided for monitoring the integrity of the trip circuit. This input can be used for nominal trip coil
voltages of 24 V dc, 48 V dc, 125 V dc and 250 V dc.

Description
The M3425A Generator Protection Relay is suitable for all generator ratings and prime movers. Typical con-
nection diagrams are illustrated in Figure 4, M3425A OneLine Functional Diagram (confgured for phase
differential), and Figure 5, OneLine Functional Diagram (confgured for splitphase differential).
Conguration Options
The M3425A Generator Protection Relay is available in either a Base or Comprehensive package of protec-
tive functions. This provides the user with fexibility in selecting a protective system to best suit the application.
Additional Optional Protective Functions may be added at the time of purchase at perfunction pricing.
The HumanMachine Interface (HMI) Module, Target Module, or redundant power supply can be selected at
time of purchase.
When the Field Ground (64F) Premium Protective Function is purchased, an external coupler module (M3921)
is provided for isolation from the dc feld voltages.
When 100% Stator Ground (64S) protection using lowfrequency injection is purchased, an external band pass
flter and frequency generator is provided.
Multiple Setpoint Proles (Groups)
The relay supports four setpoint profles. This feature allows multiple setpoint profles to be defned for different
power system confgurations or generator operating modes. Profles can be switched either manually using the
HumanMachine Interface (HMI), by communications, programmable logic or by control/status inputs.
NOTE: During profle switching, relay operation is disabled for approximately 1 second.
Metering
The relay provides metering of voltages (phase, neutral and sequence quantities), currents (phase, neutral and
sequence quantities), real power, reactive power, power factor and impedance measurements.
Metering accuracies are:
Voltage: 0.5 V or 0.5%, whichever is greater
0.8 V or 0.75%, whichever is greater (when both RMS and LineGround to LineLine are
selected)
Current: 5 A rating, 0.1 A or 3%, whichever is greater
1 A rating, 0.02 A or 3%, whichever is greater
Power: 0.01 PU or 2% of VA applied, whichever is greater
Frequency: 0.02 Hz (from 57 to 63 Hz for 60 Hz models; from 47 to 53 Hz for 50 Hz models)
0.1 Hz beyond 63 Hz for 60 Hz models, and beyond 53 Hz for 50 Hz models
Volts/Hz: 1%
Oscillographic Recorder
The oscillographic recorder provides comprehensive data recording of all monitored waveforms, storing up to
416 cycles of data. The total record length is userconfgurable from 1 to 16 partitions. The sampling rate is
16 times the power system nominal frequency (50 or 60 Hz). The recorder may be triggered using either the
designated control/status inputs, trip outputs, or using serial communications. When untriggered, the recorder
continuously stores waveform data, thereby keeping the most recent data in memory. When triggered, the
recorder stores pretrigger data, then continues to store data in memory for a userdefned, posttrigger delay
period. The data records can be stored in either Beckwith Electric format or COMTRADE format. Oscillograph
records are not retained if power to the relay is interrupted.
Target Storage
Information associated with the last 32 trips is stored. The information includes the function(s) operated, the
functions picked up, input/output status, time stamp, and phase and neutral currents at the time of trip.
14
Sequence of Events Log
The Sequence of Events Log records relay element status, I/O status, measured values and calculated values
time stamped with 1 ms resolution at userdefned events. The Sequence of Events Log includes 512 of the
most recently recorded relay events. The events and the associated data is available for viewing utilizing the
S 3400 IPScom Communications Software. Sequence of Events records are not retained if power to the relay
is interrupted.
Calculations
Current and Voltage RMS Values: Uses Discrete Fourier Transform algorithm on sampled voltage and current
signals to extract fundamental frequency phasors for relay calculations. RMS calculation for the 50, 51N, 59
and 27 functions, and the 24 function are obtained using the time domain approach to obtain accuracy over a
wide frequency band. When the RMS option is selected, the magnitude calculation for 59 and 27 functions is
accurate over a wide frequency range (10 to 80 Hz). When the DFT option is selected, the magnitude calcula-
tion is accurate near nominal frequency (50 Hz/60 Hz) but will degrade outside the nominal frequency. For 50
and 51N functions the DFT is used when the frequency is 55 Hz to 65 Hz for 60 Hz (nominal) and 45 Hz to
55Hz for 50 Hz (nominal), outside of this range RMS calculation is used.
Power Input Options
Nominal 110/120/230/240 V ac, 50/60 Hz, or nominal 110/125/220/250 V dc. Operates properly from 85 V ac
to 265 V ac and from 80 V dc to 312.5 V dc. Withstands 300 V ac or 315 V dc for 1 second. Nominal burden
40 VA at 120 V ac/125 V dc.
Nominal 24/48 V dc, operates properly from 18 V dc to 56 V dc, withstands 65 V dc for 1 second. Burden 25
VA at 24 V dc and 30 VA at 48 V dc.
An optional redundant power supply is available for units that are purchased without the expanded I/O.
For those units purchased with the expanded I/O, the unit includes two power supplies which are required to
power the relay. Burden (nominal) 46 VA @120 V ac.
Sensing Inputs
Five Voltage Inputs: Rated for a nominal voltage of 50 V ac to 140 V ac at 60 Hz or 50 Hz. Will withstand 240 V
continuous voltage and 360 V for 10 seconds. Source voltages may be linetoground or linetoline connected.
Phase sequence ABC or ACB is software selectable. Voltage transformer burden less than 0.2 VA at 120 V ac.
Seven Current Inputs: Rated nominal current (I
R
) of 5.0 A or 1.0 A at 60 Hz or 50 Hz. Will withstand 3I
R

continuous current and 100I
R
for 1 second. Current transformer burden is less than 0.5 VA at 5 A, or 0.3 VA
at 1 A.
Control/Status Inputs
The control/status inputs, INPUT1 through INPUT6, can be programmed to block any relay protective function,
to trigger the oscillograph recorder, to operate one or more outputs or can be an input into IPSlogic. To provide
breaker status LED indication on the front panel, the INPUT1 control/status input contact must be connected
to the 52b breaker status contact. The minimum current value to initiate/pickup an Input is > 25 mA.
The optional expanded I/O includes an additional 8 programmable control/status inputs (INPUT7 through INPUT14).
CAUTION: The control/status inputs should be connected to dry contacts only, and are internally connected
(wetted) with a 24 V dc power supply.
Output Contacts
Any of the functions can be individually programmed to activate any one or more of the eight programmable
output contacts OUTPUT1 through OUTPUT8. Any output contact can also be selected as pulsed or latched.
IPSlogic can also be used to activate an output contact.
The optional expanded I/O includes an additional 15 programmable output contacts (OUTPUT9 through OUT-
PUT23). These contacts are confgurable only using IPScom software.
The eight output contacts (six form a and two form c), the power supply alarm output contact (form b), the
selftest alarm output contact (form c) and the optional 15 expanded I/O output contacts (form 'a') are all rated
per ANSI/IEEE C37.901989 for tripping. Make 30 A for 0.2 seconds, carry 8 A, break 6 A at 120 V ac, break
0.5 A at 48 V dc; 0.3 A, 125 V dc; 0.2 A, 250 V dc with L/R=40 mSec.
15
IPSlogic
This feature can be programmed utilizing the IPScom
Communications Software. IPSlogic takes the contact

input status and function status, and by employing (OR, AND, and NOT) boolean logic and a timer, can activate
an output or change setting profles.
Target/Status Indicators and Controls
The RELAY OK LED reveals proper cycling of the microcomputer. The BRKR CLOSED LED will illuminate when
the breaker is closed (when the 52b contact input is open). The OSC TRIG LED indicates that oscillographic
data has been recorded in the unit's memory. The TARGET LED will illuminate when any of the relay functions
operate. Pressing and releasing the TARGET RESET button resets the target LED if the conditions causing the
operation have been removed. Holding the TARGET RESET push button displays the present pickup status of
the relay functions. The PS1 and PS2 LEDs will remain illuminated as long as power is applied to the unit and
the power supply is operating properly. TIME SYNC LED illuminates when valid IRIGB signal is applied and
time synchronization has been established.
Communication
Communications ports include rear panel RS232 and RS485 ports, a front panel RS232 port, a rearpanel
IRIGB port and an Ethernet port (optional). The communications protocol implements serial, byteoriented,
asynchronous communication, providing the following functions when used with the Windows
-compatible
S3400 IPScom
Communications Software. MODBUS and BECO 2200 protocols are supported providing:
Interrogation and modifcation of setpoints
Timestamped information for the 32 most recent trips
Realtime metering of all quantities measured
Downloading of recorded oscillographic data and Sequence of Events Recorder data.
The optional Ethernet port can be purchased with MODBUS over TCP/IP and BECO2200 over TCP/IP protocols
or with the IEC 61850 protocol.
IRIG-B
The M3425A Generator Protection Relay can accept either modulated or demodulated IRIGB time clock syn-
chronization signal. The IRIGB time synchronization information is used to correct the hour, minutes, seconds,
and milliseconds information.

64S 100% Stator Ground Protection by Low Frequency Signal Injection
NOTE: The Stator Ground Protection function (64S) must be selected when the M3425A is initially ordered.
The 100% stator ground fault protection is provided by injecting an external 20 Hz signal into the neutral of the
generator. The protection is provided when the machine is online as well as offline (provided that the 20 Hz
generator and relay are powered on.) This scheme requires the following external components in addition to
M3425A protection system:
20 Hz Signalgenerator (BECO Surface Mount/Flush Part No. 43000426)(Siemens 7XT33)
Bandpass flter (BECO Surface Mount/Flush Part No. 43000427)(Siemens 7XT34)
20 Hz Measuri ng Current Transfor mer, 400/5 A CT (BECO Par t No. 43000428)
(ITICTW360T50401)
The voltage signal generated by the 20 Hz signalgenerator is injected into the secondary of the generator
neutral grounding transformer through a bandpass flter. The bandpass flter passes the 20 Hz signal and
rejects outofband signals. The output of the 20 Hz bandpass flter is connected to the V
N
input of the M3425A
relay through a suitable voltage divider, that limits the M3425A to O 200 V ac (the voltage generator may be
bypassed if the expected 50/60 Hz voltage during a phasetoground fault of the generator is O 200 V.) The
20Hz current is also connected to the I
N
input of the M3425A, through the 20Hz current transformer.
When the generator is operating normally (no ground fault) only a small amount of 20 Hz current will fow as
a result of the stator capacitance to ground. When a ground fault occurs anywhere on the generator stator
windings the 20 Hz current will increase. The 64S function will issue a trip signal after a set time delay when
the measured 20 Hz current exceeds the pickup current.
For cases where the Load Resistor (R
N
) is small, the Undervoltage Inhibit should not be enabled, as the voltage
will be small.
The 59N function (90 to 95%) should also be used in conjunction with 64S protection to provide backup.

NOTE: With maximum power output, the device has a power loss of approximately 24 W. To ensure unhin-
dered heat dissipation through the vent holes, the distance to other devices located at the top and
bottom must be at least 100 mm. This device must therefore always be mounted in the bottom part
of the cabinet.
