Graphical Animation of
Protective Device Operation
Normalized TCC Curve
Normalized (Shifted) TCC mode is an analysis feature in
ETAP Star View which is based on Sequence-of-Operation
calculation. This analysis mode provides a graphical view
of the operation times of protective devices based on their
corresponding settings and characteristics for specified
fault location and type. Normalized TCC mode graphically
displays the TCC curves of protective devices in relation to
one and another for a given fault.
Graphical Animation of Protective Device Operation
Coordinate via One-Line Diagram
• Graphically place a fault anywhere on the one-line diagram
• Automatically calculate & display the fault current
contributions on the one-line diagram
• Evaluate the operating time & state of devices based on
the actual fault current contribution flowing through each
individual device
• Graphical animation of protective device operation
• Globally view post fault actions & associated operating time
via a tabulated event viewer
• Examine the operation of protective devices via the one-line
diagram
Normalized Time Current Characteristic Curve
Sequence of Event Viewer
The sequence of operation of protective devices are
automatically calculated and listed in an Event Viewer,
which is dynamically linked with the one-line diagram. This
one-step concept utilizes the intelligent one-line diagram
and performs a complete set of actions to determine the
operation of all protective devices. This includes internal
shifting (normalizing) of each TCC curve based on the
individual fault contribution level.

Advanced Relay Testing
& Transient Simulator
Precise, Flexible, Accurate
Fully Integrated Hardware &
Software Relay Testing Solution
The ETAP Advanced Relay Testing and Transient Simulator
(ARTTS) is a new concept that utilizes hardware and software
technologies for testing, calibrating, and simulating relays.
ETAP ARTTS combines the short-circuit and protection
device coordination capabilities of ETAP with the relay testing
hardware. It provides actual steady-state and transient
responses of relays for comparisons with the manufacturers
published data. ARTTS is designed to improve system
protection, coordination, and reliability, hence decreasing
operational and maintenance costs.

Testing, Calibrating, & Simulating Relays
Bridge Between Relay-Testing Hardware
& Power System Simulation Technology
ARTTS provides the bridge between the relay-testing hardware
and power system simulation technology. While ETAP Star provides
a revolutionary method of analyzing and simulating the protective
device coordination and protection view via an intelligent one-line
diagram, ETAP ARTTS determines the actual operation of protective
relays based on steady-state and dynamic transient waveforms and
compares the captured relay response with that of manufacturer
published curves.
Relay Test Set Interface
• Fully integrated protective relay historical testing & maintenance
database with ETAP Star
• Export short circuit data, relays settings to relay test set
• Plot device steady-state response
• Compare relay response with manufacturer published data
• Analyze deviation from nominal values
• Display relay actual transient response
• Analyze relay false trips & mis-operation
• Comtrade export of time domain fault currents & voltages
Test Results Comparison: Compare test results
with published curves

Relay Actual Response
Steady-State Response
ETAP Star exports the relay settings and parameters to
ARTTS for current injection into the relay. Based on the
required range of the overcurrent and/or fault current, the
relay test set then injects multiple currents (single-phase or
three-phase) into the relay in order to reconstruct the relay
TCC curve based on the actual relay response. The relay
test points are then imported to ETAP Star for plotting and
comparison with the manufacturer published data.
Relay Steady-State Response
Relay Steady-State Response
Transient Response
The ability to simulate relay response under steady-state
and transient conditions during both fault and normal
system operating conditions provides the necessary tools
for protection engineers and technicians to confidently
determine and evaluate the design and operation of
protection system. Steady-state fault current provides only
a snapshot operation of the relay based on sustained
current. Transient fault simulation is necessary to
determine the actual response time of the relay based on
the distributed through fault containing AC and DC decay
current.
Relay Transient Response
16
|
The waveforms are generated from ETAP and are
pragmatically played into the relay through ARTTS.
This allows for verification of the relay operation under
conditions matching actual system faults. By comparing
these sets of curves, Star visually indicates the
discrepancies and deviation between the actual (field
setting) versus design (intended / ideal) device response
characteristics.
ARTTS Software Modules
Integrated Software
ARTTS software is an advanced control software program for
accessing all functions of the Automatic Relay Testing and
Transient Simulator. This powerful software can be used for
manual and fully automatic testing of protective relays, energy
meters, and transducers.
The ARTTS software modules are extremely easy to use with
intuitive graphical user interface and realistic representations of
panel control and vector quantities. The ARTTS Wizard allows the
user to easily and quickly select the most appropriate software
program for the required application. The ‘Click and Test’ feature
of the software makes relay testing more efficient and saves test
time. Test sequences can be created and customized using the
Sequence editor. Test results can be saved and customized using
the report manager to suit user output requirements.
