 MIV II Voltage/Frequency Protection System

Overview
The MIV II, a member of the M II Family, is
a digital device that provides voltage and
frequency protection for a wide range of
applications at any voltage level.
NOTE: The MIV II includes four independent
time delayed phase under/overvoltage
elements, and two independent fixed time
ground overvoltage elements, the MIV II
2000 includes frequency functions (four
units), and the MIV II 3000 includes both
voltage and frequency (two) units.
The basic MIV II has two fixed digital inputs
and six fixed digital outputs. An option is
provided allowing the two inputs and four

Primary or Secondary Metering

The MIV II can monitor both the primary
and secondary voltage metering values,
by previously setting the corresponding
CT ratio.

Event Recording
Events consist of a broad range of change
of state occurrences, including pickups,
trips, contact operations, alarms and
self test status. The MIV II stores up to
24 events time tagged to the nearest

needed to determine sequence of events
