Initial Release 

on the front of the relay, via the two display windows. This 
is considered “ON DEVICE” information.  
 
In addition to being able to provide a circuit breaker 
“OPEN” or “CLOSED” status to the remote location, the 
MD-3000 displays parameters, such as: 
 

• 

Individual phase differential currents 

• 

Magnitude and phase of current causing trip 

• 

Cause of trip 

• 

Current transformer ratio 

• 

Existing set point settings 

•

1-4 STANDARDS 

MD-3000 Protective Relays are “Component Recognized” 
by the Underwriters Laboratory, Inc.® under UL File 
E154862. Refer to Section 2-3 UL Testing and 
Specification Summary for more information. 

SECTION 2: FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 

2-1 PROTECTION, SETTINGS, AND TESTING 

2-1.1 RMS SENSING 

MD-3000 Protective Relays provide true RMS sensing for 
proper correlation with the thermal characteristics of 

conductors and equipment. The root-mean-square (rms) 
value is determined by a microprocessor calculation of 
discrete sampled points of the current waveform. This rms 
value is used for the protection response and metering 
displays of the relay.  

2-1.2 PICKUP SETTING 

A MD-3000 Protective Relay pickup setting is a discrete, 
pre-selected value of differential current used to initiate a 
tripping action. The available pickup settings are 0.04, 
0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.24, 
0.26, 0.28, 0.30, 0.32, 0.34, 0.36, 0.38, 0.40, 0.42, 0.44, 
0.46, 0.48, 0.50, and NONE. 
 

2-1.3 TIME SETTING 

A MD-3000 Protective Relay time setting is a pre-selected 
time delay initiated when the pickup is exceeded. If the 
current value drops below the pickup value, the timing 
function resets.  Memory is NOT provided. If the current 
value does not drop below pickup, the amount of delay 
before tripping occurs is a function of only the time setting.  
The available time settings are 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 
0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 
0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 (seconds).

System Frequency Selection: 

Either 60Hz or 50Hz may 

be selected. 
 

Phase CT Ratio Selection: 

The available CT ratios, 

shown in the above table range from 5:5 to 5000:5. 

 
Defaults: 

In the unlikely event that settings are missed or 

entered incorrectly, the Operational LED will blink Red and 
the relay will display “PRGM” in the Settings Display 
window. This means the program settings should be re-
entered and saved. 

2-1.5 TESTING 

Phase no-trip tests (test Px) and a phase trip tests (PxT) 
are provided (see table 2.1). 
 

 

THE TEST MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED TO 
TRIP LIVE CURRENT CARRYING CIRCUITS. IF A 
LIVE CURRENT OF GREATER THAN 0.1 TIMES 
THE VALUE IS FLOWING IN ANY PHASE, THE 
TEST MODE IS AUTOMATICALLY EXITED, 
ACCOMPANIED BY AN ERROR MESSAGE IN THE 
SETTINGS/TEST TIME/TRIP CAUSE WINDOW. 

 

2-2 PROTECTIVE RELAY HARDWARE 

2-2.1 FRONT OPERATIONS PANEL 

The operations panel, which is normally accessible from 
the outside of the switchgear panel door, provides a 
means to program, monitor and test the unit (Figure 1-1).
