This multi voltage specification design enables the relay to be widely used in various occasions, whether it is small power equipment or large power engineering, suitable voltage matching can be found.

Action voltage: The action voltage is usually lower than a specific value of the rated voltage, which ensures that the relay can operate accurately when the voltage fluctuates. For example, when the voltage of the power system drops slightly but remains within the normal fluctuation range, the relay will not malfunction; When the voltage drops to the threshold that affects the normal operation of the equipment, the relay can quickly respond and perform corresponding protective actions.

Reset voltage: The reset voltage is lower than a specific value of the sustain voltage. After the fault is resolved and the power system returns to normal, the relay can quickly reset under appropriate voltage conditions, preparing for the next possible task and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the power system.

Contact type: It has multiple sets of normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts, and the specific configuration depends on different application scenarios and customer needs. Normally, normally open contacts are in an open state and close when the relay is activated; Normally closed contacts are the opposite, closed normally and open when the relay is activated. This flexible contact configuration enables relays to meet the requirements of different control logics, such as starting devices, stopping devices, and sending signals.

Contact capacity: With high breaking capacity, it can reliably drive loads such as circuit breaker trip coils. When a fault occurs in the power system, the powerful contact capacity ensures that the relay can quickly cut off the fault current, protect the power equipment from damage, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

Response time: The response time is extremely short, usually in milliseconds. In the rapidly changing power system, fast response time is crucial. When an abnormal signal is detected, the relay can react in a very short time, execute protective actions in a timely manner, and minimize the impact of faults on the power system.

Power consumption: Extremely low power consumption, meeting the requirements of modern power systems for energy conservation and efficiency. Low power design not only reduces energy consumption, but also reduces the heating problem of the relay itself, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

In complex power environments, good insulation performance ensures the stable operation of relays, avoiding equipment failures and safety accidents caused by poor insulation.

Working temperature: The working temperature range is -25 ° C to+70 ° C, which can adapt to various harsh working environments. Whether in cold northern regions, hot southern regions, or in high-temperature industrial environments or low-temperature outdoor environments, this relay can work normally to ensure the stable operation of the power system.

Application Fields

Transmission line protection: In the distance protection and directional overcurrent protection schemes of transmission lines, the MVAJ1L1GB0771B relay receives the tripping signal of the protection relay and quickly drives the line circuit breaker to quickly cut off the fault. For example, when a short circuit fault occurs in a transmission line, the relay can detect the fault signal within milliseconds and transmit the trip signal to the circuit breaker, causing the circuit breaker to quickly cut off the faulty line, prevent the fault from expanding, and ensure the safe operation of the transmission line.

Transformer protection: In differential protection, overcurrent protection and other protection schemes for transformers, this relay is used to drive the transformer circuit breaker to trip and isolate transformer faults. When faults such as winding short circuit and overload occur inside the transformer, the relay can respond promptly by driving the circuit breaker to trip, isolating the faulty transformer from the power system and protecting the transformer and other equipment from further damage.

Generator protection: Among various protection schemes for generators, MVAJ1L1GB0771B transmits the tripping command of the protection relay to the generator outlet circuit breaker to achieve fault removal. When internal faults occur in the generator, such as stator winding short circuit, rotor grounding, etc., the relay can quickly act to trip the generator outlet circuit breaker, protecting the safe operation of the generator and avoiding serious impact on the power system.

Bus protection: In schemes such as bus differential protection, this relay is used to drive circuit breakers related to faulty bus segments to trip. The busbar is an important part of the power system for collecting and distributing electrical energy. Once the busbar fails, the consequences can be unimaginable. The MVAJ1L1GB0771B relay can quickly respond to bus faults by driving the corresponding circuit breaker to trip and isolate the faulty bus section, ensuring the stable operation of the entire power system.

Motor protection: In the protection circuit of large motors, the relay receives the tripping signal of the protection relay, drives the motor circuit breaker to trip, and protects the motor. When the motor experiences faults such as overload, stalling, and phase loss operation, the relay can detect abnormal signals in a timely manner and quickly perform tripping operations to protect the motor from damage and extend its service life.

Product advantages

Extremely low burden: The design goal is to minimize the current demand on the drive circuit, thereby reducing the burden on the output contacts of the front-end protection relay, extending its service life, and improving the reliability of the system. In the power system, the output contacts of the front-end protection relay need to operate frequently, which imposes a heavy burden. The low load characteristic of MVAJ1L1GB0771B relay effectively reduces the wear on these contacts and lowers the probability of faults occurring.

High reliability: Using high-quality components and mature designs, ensuring reliable operation under various operating conditions, executing trip instructions, and ensuring the safety of the power system. As a well-known enterprise in the industry, ALSTOM strictly controls the quality of its product manufacturing process, selects high-quality components, and has undergone extensive experiments and practical operation verification, making the relay highly reliable and capable of stable operation in complex and harsh power environments.

Quick response: With extremely fast action speed, it can quickly drive the circuit breaker to trip upon receiving a trip signal, minimizing the duration of the fault. Every second, even every millisecond, is crucial when a power system failure occurs. The fast response characteristic of this relay can timely cut off the fault current, reduce the degree of equipment damage, and minimize the impact on the stability of the power system.

Multi contact output: Provides multiple sets of normally open or normally closed contacts, which can simultaneously drive multiple circuit breaker trip coils or be used for signal indication, improving the flexibility of the system. In some complex power systems, it may be necessary to simultaneously control multiple devices or emit multiple signals.

Communication Overview

Protocol standard: Adopting a subset of the Modbus RTU serial communication standard, it is a single master multi slave protocol with 239 relays as slave devices. It does not support master mode and only supports RTU version (binary), not ASCII version.

Application scenario: Monitoring, programming, and control functions can be achieved through read and write register commands, suitable for communication scenarios with multiple device chain connections.

Hardware interface and data transmission

Electrical interface: Use a two-wire RS485 hardware interface for half duplex bidirectional data transmission, requiring a daisy chain configuration with terminal networks installed at both ends (such as Belden 9841 wire with a 120 Ω resistor connected in series with a 1nF ceramic capacitor). Use shielded wires and pay attention to polarity.

Data frame format: Asynchronous transmission, 10 bits per frame (1 start bit+8 data bits+1 stop bit), supports baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200.

Data packet format: Both the master request and the slave response contain the slave address, function code, data, and CRC checksum. The slave address 0 is the broadcast command, and the function code>127 indicates an error response.

Error verification: CRC-16 verification is used. If the verification is incorrect, the slave device will not respond, and the algorithm involves polynomial division. Please refer to the document for specific steps.

Timing requirement: If the received character interval exceeds 3.5 characters, the communication link needs to be reset, such as exceeding 3.65ms at 9600 baud rate.

Supported Modbus Function Codes

03/04: Read set value and actual value, read up to 125 registers (hold register/input register), 16 bit value low byte priority request to read 3 registers starting from 006B at address 11

05: Execute operation, trigger relay action through operation code (such as reset, emergency restart) Reset relay (operation code 1)

06: Store a single set value, write the set value to a single register, and request the device to write 0064 to address 1020

07: Read device status, retrieve device status bytes (alarm, trip, etc. flag bits), request status from address 11

08: Loop back testing, testing communication link integrity, requesting/sending test data 0000 from the device

16: Store multiple set values, batch write up to 60 registers/write 0096 to 1028 and 1029

16 (Execute Command): Execute operations by writing registers. When the PLC does not support the 05 function code, it is necessary to write command function code 5 and operation code to address 0080 and 0081 to perform reset

Memory-mapped

User defined memory area: Address remapping is achieved through register index (0180H-01F7H) and data area (0100H-0177H) to improve data throughput, such as mapping current and temperature values of different addresses to adjacent addresses for reading.

Memory mapping table: Detailed listing of groups, descriptions, ranges, step sizes, units, etc. for each address, including 21 parts such as product information (0000-007F), commands (0080-00FF), user-defined registers (0100-017F), actual values (0200-027F), set values (1000-11EF), covering motor status, fault causes, current, temperature, relay configuration, etc.

Data format: defines the data types and bit masks corresponding to codes F1-F114, such as F1 being an unsigned integer, F5 being a trip reason code, F104 being a product option flag, etc.
