Instruction for the
Cutler-Hammer Type MPCV
Network Protection Relay
PowerNet Reason Descriptions on MPCV Relay Status
Table 7 provides descriptions of all of the possible Status
and Reason states as reported by the MPCV Relay via Pow-
erNet. Note that the status is a function of the Aux_B input
contact to the MPCV in combination with any Trip or Close
control from the MPCV and time. The first column shows
network protector status based on the AUX B input contact,
where “C” denotes the network protector is sensed to be
CLOSED (physical Aux B contact is open). Similarly, an “O”
indicates an OPEN protector (Aux B contact is closed).
It indicates that all of the following TRIP descriptions imply
that the network protector has been sensed to be OPEN,
prior to which a protective TRIP control was issued to the
protector by the MPCV. The associated PowerNet Reason
String attempts to detail what power system condition
caused the MPCV to command a trip. The descriptions
provided for the Trip states are also applicable for
Time-Stamped Trip Events.
Note: Alarm Status has higher priority than Trip, Open or Close in
Table 7 below.

Status
Reason
Description
C
Closed
Normal
Sensed in the CLOSED position, Normal
O
Open
Normal
Sensed in the OPEN position, Normal
O
Open
Remote Open
Block Open
Sensed in the OPEN position, and MPCV was Remotely commanded to be Open/ Blocked Open (ROBO)
O
Trip
Phase Reversal
Typically indicative of a reversed phase condition on the network side. An improper CBA rotation set point will
also generate this reason. Bus voltages and the bus connections to the MPCV should also be verified.
O
Trip
Rolled Phase
Typically indicative of a rolled phased power system condition. Bus voltages and the bus connections to the
MPCV should also be verified.
O
Trip
Per Unit
Voltage
Indicative of a reversed phase condition on the transformer, or a rolled phase on the transformer, or a rolled
phase on the network. Bus voltages and the bus connections to the MPCV should also be verified.
O
Trip
Sensitive
Reverse current exceeded RT set point for at least 2 power cycles (instantaneous), Watt Trip characteristic
(WV=OFF), TD=0.
O
Trip
Time Delayed
Sensitive
Reverse current exceeded RT set point for the duration of the non-zero TD setting, Watt Trip characteristic
(WV=OFF).
O
Trip
De-energized
The magnitudes of the positive sequence network voltage AND the positive sequence phasing voltage
indicates a de-energized network and feeder system condition. Bus voltages and the bus connections to the
MPCV should be verified.
O
Trip
Var Trip
Reverse current exceeded RT set point for at least 2 power cycles (instantaneous), Watt-Var Trip characteristic
(WV=ON), TD=0, and the reverse current phasor fell in the var region (60 degree portion) of the overall Watt-Var
Trip curve.
O
Trip
Breaker
Pumping
Pump Protection is enabled, and the protector has cycled the programmed number of cycles within the pump
time setting. The MPCV will continue to command a TRIP to protector, until expiration of the Reset Timer or a
Remote command to clear the pumping fault.
O
Trip
Overcurrent
Reverse current exceeded OC set point for at least 2 power cycles, Watt Trip characteristic (WV=OFF).
Overcurrent OC is strictly an “instantaneous” setting.
O
Trip
Non-Sensitive
Technically refers to the “Sensitive Plus Non-Sensitive” trip mode of the MPCV Relay. This mode is selected by
setting TD=0, and OC>0, resulting in a trip characteristic with an intentional non-trip dead band region. This
mode is NOT recommended for most applications.
O
Trip
Watt Trip
Reverse current exceeded RT set point for at least 2 power cycles (instantaneous), Watt-Var Trip characteristic
(WV=ON), TD=0, and the reverse current phasor fell in the Watt region (-5 deg portion) of the overall Watt-Var
Trip curve.
O
Trip
Time Delayed
Watt Trip
Reverse current exceeded RT set point for the duration of the non-zero TD setting, Watt-Var Trip characteristic
(WV=ON).
O
Trip
Overcurrent
Watt Trip
Reverse current exceeded OC set point for at least 2 power cycles, Watt-Var Trip characteristic (WV=ON).
Overcurrent OC is strictly an “instantaneous” setting.
O
Trip
Set Point
MPCV has detected a checksum problem with the programmed set points in non-volatile memory.
Protector will trip and relay should be replaced.
O
Trip
RAM
MPCV has detected a RAM memory problem on power-up. Protector will trip (for CH FW version V.1.016 and
GE FW version V1.017 or newer) and relay should be replaced.
(C)
Alarm
Failed to Open
MPCV has tried to TRIP the protector, but did NOT sense that the Aux B input contact closed within 10 seconds.
May be a problem in the protector trip circuit or wiring of the Aux B contact.
(O)
Alarm
Failed to Close
MPCV has tried to CLOSE the protector, but did NOT sense that the Aux B input contact opened within 10
seconds. May be a problem in the protector close circuitry or wiring of the Aux B contact

Alarm
Auxiliary 2
Alarm
Auxiliary Channel 2 has been activated, has been set to alarm on activation, and the channel is currently in the
active state.

Alarm
Auxiliary 3
Alarm
Auxiliary Channel 3, as Aux 2 above.

Auxiliary 4
Alarm
Auxiliary Channel 4, as Aux 2 above.

Not responding
Possible loss of power, communication error, the relay is out of service or the wiring has been compromised.
