Current measurements
The relay shows RMS values of three phase & Earth leakage
currents at regular interval on display in scroll mode. (If the
current is more than 9999 A, then relay will display - - - -').

These LEDs will start flashing when a fault has developed and
will glow steady when the trip has occurred. The LED indication
can be reset by a Reset button. However reset is not possible
when fault is present. The Reset button also resets the R1 relay
if it is programmed in Hand reset mode.
2.11 Reset time
The relay has a unique facility a programmable reset time for
the lowset fault is provided in the relay. If fault current has
appeared for a duration less than the set trip time delay, relay
will hold the elapsed trip time for the duration of the
programmed reset time. If the relay now senses the fault within
the reset time, it will run the timer only for the remaining
duration and will give the trip time command to the breaker.
After issuing the trip command the relay will reset immediately
irrespective of the reset time.

! WARNING
While plugging the module, If any of the Locking screws are in
locked position
(i.e. the screwdriver mark in the screw is
vertical), the module can not be plugged fully. In such a case, The
CT shorting may not have opened. To avoid this problem, ensure
the screws are in unlocked position while pushing the module.

Recording of Tripping
The relay records tripping causes (Over current / Earth fault) and
values of currents when trip occurred. Last 5 trip recordings are
stored at any time. It also records the number of tripping due to
over current and Earth fault in the feeder.

ANNEXURE-1
Modification for 2NO 2 NC type of MC31A
On special request MC31A relay can be supplied where the
relay will have 2 N/O + 2 N/C contacts ( instead of 4 N/O)
The 2 NO-2 NC type of MC31A has only three output relays .
One among the three , ( R5) is used for indicating the internal
fault condition. The other two relays R1 and R3 have one NO
output and one NC output. Both the relays can be set in either
Hand reset mode or self-reset mode. Programming of these
relays is not possible as both trip when the fault occurs (either
Earth fault or Over current) . Below given modification helps to
set the relays in hand or self-reset mode.

SECONDARY CURRENT INJECTION TEST
FOR MC31A:
Test Equipment: Single phase Current injection set
Connections: Connect auxiliary supply between terminal 25
and 26 (as indicated in wiring diagram). Connect terminals
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 in series so that same current will pass
through all the 4 CTs.
Power on:
Switch ON the supply, the display and LEDs will
blink once and the display will show model number (31A), "
Software version (u _.__) in the relay . After this the relay will
enter into current measurement mode.
Display & earth fault trip test:
Ensure the relay settings
are as per Default settings given in the setting form. Pass 2A
(0.4A for 1A relay) through the relay. Now the relay will start
displaying the current in scrolling mode. Same time earth fault
trip led will start flashing and will become permanently ON
after 4.39 sec.
Over current trip test:
Pass 10A(2A for 1A relay)
through the relay. Now all the phase trip LEDs will start
flashing indicating the presence of fault. This will continue up to
4.39 sec and later all the trip LEDs will become permanently
ON and relay R1 will trip. Check the continuity between the
terminals 9 and 10 to ensure tripping of R1. Remove the current
and press "reset" button to reset the relay. Now LEDs will
become OFF.
This completes the secondary current injection test. Disconnect
auxiliary supply and other CT connections. Fix the protective
covers back on front panel and terminal block.
