3.3 Basic module and additional module
*Important Note
The MRD1 must only be dismantled or opened by authorized staff .
Removal of live modules entail severe danger for the person(s) involved because there can no sufficient protection
against accidental contact be guaranteed as soon as the relay has been opened. Furthermore there is the risk of
the modules being damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD/EGB) when handled improperly.
Identical modules must not be exchanged between different MRD1 basic versions.
Calibration of every MRD1 is done at work with regard to the specific features of that relay. A random change
of modules would lead to unreliable operation of the relay because the compatibility of the relay components
among each other would be in disorder and could not be guaranteed any longer.
Any modification jobs on the MRD1, for instance, exchange of modules or software additions, are only allowed
to be done at our works or by authorized agents.

4 Working principle
Term Explanation
ID Bias current This is the current flowing from the input side into the object to be protected, hav-
ing a respective output current available at the output side. This current is repre-
senting the normal load and the load at external faults.
Id Differential current The current resulting from the difference of incoming and outgoing conductor cur-
rents when these were converted at one transformer side.
In other words: The differential current is the component at the transformer input
current which has no related output current.
Ia Pickup current If the differential current exceeds the pickup current, the relay trips.
Fault current due to This kind of fault current is the component of the measured differential current
operational conditions which, however, is not caused by a fault of the object to be protected but is of
systematic nature
Stabilization Under this heading all measures are compiled which stabilize the differential relay
against nuisance tripping. Stabilizing always means the pickup current is raised
and by this the differential relay becomes more intensitive, but is never completely
blocked.
IS Stabilizing current This current develops from the bias current and represents the extent of stabilizing
measures necessary as result of the fundamental analysis. Parameters of the stabi-
lizing characteristic can be set.
m Harmonic stabilizing This factor, derived from the analysis of the harmonic frequency, is apart from IS
factor the second stabilizing factor and in case of rush and saturation by following a
special characteristic makes the differential relay stable against tripping errors.
Pickup characteristic In this characteristic both stabilizing quantities (stabilizing current and stabilizing
factor) are brought together and from this the pickup current is defined necessary
for the operational condition of the object to be protected at that instant.

Calculation of the differential current and stabilizing current resulting from the fundamental oscillation of the input
and output currents (current of the negative and positive phase sequence system) produces a point on the charac-
teristic. If this point is within the tripping range, the output relay picks up.

Harmonic analysis
The iron core keeps this high induction until the primary
current has reached zero. During the time the core is
saturated, the secondary current is not in compliance
with the primary current, but becomes zero. During the
time the core is not saturated, the CT induces a current
which does not represent the real current for the entire
cycle duration, its effective value is far too low.

For perfect functioning of the rush stabilization system it is essential that the MRD-T is connected in the cor-
rect phase sequence, i.e. that there is a positive rotating field. Refer also to page 11.
