M-3425A Generator Protection Relay
Description
The M-3425A Generator Protection Relay is suitable for all generator ratings and prime movers. Typical
connection diagrams are illustrated in Figure 3, M-3425A One-Line Functional Diagram (configured for phase
differential), and Figure 4, One-Line Functional Diagram (configured for split-phase differential).
Configuration Options
The M-3425A Generator Protection Relay is available in either a Base or Comprehensive package of protective
functions. This provides the user with flexibility in selecting a protective system to best suit the application.
Additional Optional Protective Functions may be added at the time of purchase at per-function pricing.
The Human-Machine 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 (M-3921) is
provided for isolation from the dc field voltages.
When 100% Stator Ground (64S) protection using low-frequency injection is purchased, an external band pass
filter and frequency generator is provided.
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 Line-Ground to Line-Line 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 472
cycles of data. The total record length is user-configurable 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 pre-
trigger data, then continues to store data in memory for a user-defined, post-trigger delay period. The data
records can be stored in either Beckwith Electric format or COMTRADE format.
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.
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 calculation 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.
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 line-to-ground or line-to-line 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 (IR) of 5.0 A or 1.0 A at 60 Hz or 50 Hz. Will withstand 3IR
continuous current and 100IR 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 IPSlogicTM. 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 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
OUTPUT23). These contacts are configurable only using IPScom software.
The eight output contacts (six form a and two form c), the power supply alarm output contact (form b), the self-
test alarm output contact (form c) and the optional 15 expanded I/O output contacts (form 'a') are all rated per
ANSI/IEEE C37.90-1989 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.
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 profiles.

M-3425A Generator Protection Relay
Communication
Communications ports include rear panel RS-232 and RS-485 ports, a front panel RS-232 port, a rear-panel
IRIG-B port and an Ethernet port (optional). The communications protocol implements serial, byte-oriented,
asynchronous communication, providing the following functions when used with the Windows-compatible
M-3820D IPScom Communications Software. MODBUS and BECO 2200 protocols are supported providing:
Interrogation and modification of setpoints
Time-stamped information for the 32 most recent trips
Real-time metering of all quantities measured
Downloading of recorded oscillographic data and Sequence of Events Recorder data.
When the optional Ethernet port is purchased it also provides MODBUS over TCP/IP and BECO2200 over TCP/
IP protocols.
IRIG-B
The M-3425A Generator Protection Relay can accept either modulated or demodulated IRIG-B time clock
synchronization signal. The IRIG-B time synchronization information is used to correct the hour, minutes,
seconds, and milliseconds information.

NOTES:
1. The above circuit measures insulation resistance (Rf) between rotor field winding and ground (64F).
2. Relay injects 15 V squarewave (Vout) and measures return signal (Vf) to calculate Rf.
3. The injection frequency can be set (0.1 to 1.0 Hz) based on the rotor capacitance, in order to improve
accuracy.
4. The signal rise time is analyzed to determine if shaft brushes are lifting or open (64B).
5. May also be applied on generators with brushless excitation with a grounding brush and pilot ground
fault detection brush.

1. See Section 2.3, Setpoints and Time Settings, subsection for 64B/F Field Ground Protection.
2. Before making connections to the Trip Circuit Monitoring input, see Section 5.5, Circuit Board Switches and Jumpers, for the information
regarding setting Trip Circuit Monitoring input voltage. Connecting a voltage other than the voltage that the unit is configured to may result
in mis-operation or permanent damage to the unit.
3. 8 WARNING: ONLY DRY CONTACTS must be connected to inputs (terminals 5 through 10 with 11 common and terminals 68
through 75 with 66 and 67 common) because these contact inputs are internally wetted. Application of external voltage on these
inputs may result in damage to the units.
4. 8 WARNING: The protective grounding terminal must be connected to an earthed ground any time external connections have
been made to the unit.

CAUTION: Due to the possibility of ground potential difference between units, all units should be
mounted in the same rack. If this is not possible, fiber optics with the appropriate converters should be used
for isolation.
NOTE: Each address on the network must be unique. Only the last physical slave on the network should
have the termination resistor installed. This may be completed externally or using a jumper internal
to the unit. See Section 5.5, Circuit Board Switches and Jumpers.
