1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide information necessary to install, operate and maintain the
Mikro MK3000L relay.
MK3000L provides protections for 3 independent phase overcurrent elements and one non-
directional earth-fault element. All these elements are connected to the current transformers of the
feeders to be protected. There are 2 sets of current inputs, for 1A and 5A rated CTs.
The relay comes with liquid crystal display (LCD) with 2 x 16 back-lit alphanumerical characters
and 7 LEDs in which 4 of the LEDs are programmable. An 8 button keypad can be used to access
all measurements, alarm or trip records and settings. Dedicate Open CB (circuit breaker) and Close
CB button is used to manually open and close CB.
There is a RS232 port available on the front panel and a RS485 port on the rear terminals. Using
MODBUS RTU protocol, all stored information including alarm, trip and disturbance records can
be read and settings can be modified with a PC loaded with setting software.
MK3000L has 4 configurable output relays. They can
be activated by any of the protection
functions available in the relay. There is also 1 output relay for internal fault indication. There are 2
configurable logic inputs for various functions.
