Network Protection Relay
GE Relay Installation Notes
MG8/9 — 125/216 V with Watt-Var
1. For delayed sensitive operation using electromechanical 
relays (Type CHN, CHL) RED button is placed on Stud 
50. For sensitive operation without Time Delay, RED 
button is placed on Stud 41A. Short WHITE button is 
placed on other stud to insulate. Delayed sensitive 
function is incorporated within MPCV Relay. When 
applying MPCV Relay with delayed sensitive function, 
RED button must be on Stud 41A. Remove “OR” device 
and add jumpers between 17 – 18, 27 – 28 and 37 – 38.
2. The MPCV Relay is housed in one case and is received 
into the master relay (CHN) connector. No connections to 
phasing relay (CHL) plug is necessary except for a jumper 
across terminals 1 and 2 (wire No. 6 – 6A). Lifting wire 
6A and attaching to terminal wire 6 can accomplish this. 
All field units previously having Type CHN – CHL relays 
also require the addition of a wire from master relay plug 
terminal 4 to ground.
3. Watt-var function is incorporated within the MPCV Relay. 
When applying an MPCV Relay with or without watt-var 
function, add jumpers between “HGA” terminals 1 – 7 and 
2 – 8. Remove wires from “HGA” terminals 3 and 4.
MG8/9 — 277/480 V with Watt-Var
1. For delayed sensitive operation using electromechanical 
relays (Type CHN, CHL) RED button is placed on Stud 
50. For sensitive operation without Time Delay, RED 
button is placed on Stud 41A. Short WHITE button is 
placed on other stud to insulate. Delayed sensitive 
function is incorporated within MPCV Relay. When 
applying MPCV Relay with delayed sensitive function, 
RED button must be on Stud 41A. Remove “OR” device 
and add jumpers between 17 – 18, 27 – 28 and 37 – 38.

also require the addition of a wire from master relay plug

3. Watt-var function is incorporated within the MPCV Relay. 
When applying an MPCV Relay with or without watt-var 
function, add jumpers between “HGA” terminals 1 – 7 and 
2 – 8. Remove wires from “HGA” terminals 3 and 4.
MG14 — 125/216 V with Watt-Var
1. For delayed sensitive operation using electromechanical 
relays (Type CHN, CHL) add “TD” device and jumpers to 
“OR” device. Delayed sensitive function is incorporated 
within MPCV Relay. When applying MPCV Relay with 
delayed sensitive function, remove external “TD” and 
“OR” devices and add jumpers between 17 – 18, 
27 – 28, 37 – 38 and 41 – 45.

function, add jumpers between “HGA” terminals 1 – 7 
and 2 – 8. Remove wires from “HGA” terminals 3 and 4.

“OR” device. Delayed sensitive function is incorporated
