Operating Options

Test Universe

The powerful Test Universe PC software releases the full potential of the CMC test sets 1. It offers a
wide range of application-optimized test modules, enabling the user to achieve a high degree of
automation and standardization. Users have access to OMICRON’s extensive test template library,
or they can create comprehensive test plans themselves or order customized templates from
OMICRON.

Testing of specific protection and measurement functions

Test Universe provides a variety of automated testing possibilities in dedicated modules especially
designed for individual test object functions, e.g. for testing overcurrent relays, distance relays, or
differential relays.

In these modules, a specific graphic representation of the protection device’s characteristic (I/t
diagram, impedance plane, etc.) allows the graphical definition of test specifications as well as
the visualization of the test results directly in the relay’s characteristic diagram. Tailor-made test
modules are also available for meters, transducers and power quality meters/analyzers.

General functionality
For creating and performing special tests not covered by the function related modules, the
Test Universe software also comprises generic test modules.

Such tests, for instance, can be:

> sequences of output states – controlled by time or the reaction of the relay under test with
assessments based on time measurements
> linear or pulsed ramping of electrical quantities with assessment based on the level of starting
or resetting
> manual testing by direct setting and output of voltage and current values, phase angles,
frequencies, etc. either numerically or in the phasor diagram.

Besides the generic test modules, OMICRON offers a wide variety of additional software that
works with the CMC test sets (e.g. IEC 61850 testing solutions).

OMICRON Control Center – Test plans for multifunctional test objects

rm the test
perfo In order to test the many functions of digital relays, the OMICRON Control Center (OCC) technol-
ogy allows the combination of individual test modules into an overall test plan. When performing
a test, each embedded module will be executed sequentially and an overall test report including
the results of all the functions tested is created automatically.
Test specification Test report
• nominal behavior • results Since the test documents hold the complete test specification – i.e. the nominal behavior (set-
• tolerances • tables
• test points • diagrams tings) of the test object, the tolerances and the test points, with which this shall be verified – such
a document is the basis for the repetition of the same test at a later time by reloading it, clearing
the results of the previous test, replaying the test plan and saving the new results.

clear th results Thereby tests, which have been created once, can be repeated for maintenance testing. This
e
assures a constant testing quality, facilitates comparison of results, and saves time when perform-
ing routine tests. Existing tests can also be adapted easily to test similar test objects.

Automatic reporting
All test modules of the Test Universe software have a common element – the reporting function:
each module provides a fully formatted test report. Depending on the module the results come
from, data is entered in tabular and/or graphical form. If several modules are used within the
OCC to comprise a test, each module adds its specific piece of data to the overall report. After
testing is finished, test results and assessments are entered automatically to complete the report.
Reports can easily be printed, stored, or exported to standard office applications using Rich Text
format (RTF) and TXT format.

Customizing test reports based on individual requirements is easy. The visible content of test
reports can be defined independently from the recorded data, by just selecting or deselecting
items from the list. Recorded data will always remain available in the test file, regardless of
whether the user chooses to include them in the reports. Defined report settings are quickly
and easily generated, saved with a form name, and reloaded at a later time; company specific
elements like logos etc., can easily be included.

Exporting test results: Besides the standard export formats TXT and RTF for further use of the
data, such as in Microsoft Word, OMICRON Control Center documents provide the following
two export formats for more extensive external post-processing of test data: the well-known
CSV format and XML (Extensible Markup Language). CSV and XML Data Export are also avail-
able in all test modules in stand-alone mode. XML is a text-based data format that supports a
non-proprietary method of interfacing the test data with any third-party database (e.g. Microsoft
Access, Microsoft SQL Server).

Protection Testing Library

For mastering the challenge of testing modern multifunctional relays, OMICRON provides a
library of protection testing templates, the Protection Testing Library (PTL). This library offers
customers access to test plans preconfigured for the most common relays types of various
manufacturers (ABB, Alstom, Areva, GE, Reyrolle, Schneider, SEL, Siemens, Toshiba, etc.), which
include
> relay modeling – i.e. calculation of the characteristics (such as zone diagram, ...) and tolerances
from the relay settings – taking into account the technical characteristics as specified in the
relay manual
> import filter for importing setting values from the relay's software or from setting calculation
tools
> test routine for common relay functions.
This not only helps to save the time normally needed to manually create the relay characteristics
and test templates but also let users benefit from OMICRON's testing know-how on how to
model and test specific relays and their functions in the Test Universe software. New templates
are continuously being added to the PTL and are available for customers to download from the
OMICRON website.

Languages
Test Universe is available in 16 standard languages. Changing the system language is possible at
any time just by selecting the requested language in the “language selection“. All languages are
automatically installed; no installation of any additional software components is required.

Especially in international projects, clients many times wish to get a report in a different language
than the commissioning engineer's preferred working language. This is easily possible for all
available standard languages. When the system language is changed and an existing test docu-
ment is re-opened, the test report is automatically switched to the new system language set.

Operating Options

RelaySimTest

RelaySimTest is a software solution for system-based protection testing with OMICRON test
equipment that takes a novel, future-oriented approach: the test is independent of relay type
and relay manufacturer and the often very extensive parameter settings. Instead, it completely
focuses on the correct behavior of the protection system. This is made possible by simulating
realistic events in the power system. With RelaySimTest’s flexible grid editor, power networks can
be simulated intuitively.

Compared to conventional test methods (such as settings-based testing with Test Universe),
RelaySimTest can detect errors in the settings, logic and design of the protection system much
better. This allows testers to verify the correct behavior of their protection system faster and
with a higher testing quality than ever before. Complementary to testing with Test Universe,
­RelaySimTest contributes to a more reliable power system.

CMControl P

CMControl P is a control option for CMC test sets which is specifically designed for easy manual
testing of protection and measurement devices. It is available as an App for Windows PC or
Windows tablets and as a dedicated front panel control device. The included test tools with
integrated fault models guarantee quick and convenient tests. Due to its intuitive user interface
and innovative user guidance there is no need for special training.

CMControl P can be ordered with a CMC test set either standalone or in combination with a
Test Universe package (see pages 9 and 29).

CMC Swift

CMC Swift is a control option for CMC test sets designed for convenient and wireless operation.
With CMC Swift, you can output analog voltages and currents via your CMC and feed in or
measure binary signals. Wiring and control system checks, as well as pickup and trip tests of
protective functions, can be performed quickly and easily.

Thanks to its intuitive user interface, no special training is required. CMC Swift offers maximum
freedom and comfort, allowing you to perform simple checks without the need for a laptop.
It is also perfectly suited for polarity and wiring checks, especially when used with the CPOL3
accessory.

You can download the CMC Swift app from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for
Android).

OMICRON’s Test Universe software modules feature comprehensive functionality for conven-
tional testing. With the patented OMICRON Control Center (OCC) technology (Patent Nos.
Used device(s), wiring EP 0904548 B1 and US 6418389 B2), they can be combined to test plans within a single docu-
(Hardware configuration) ment in a unique manner. Such test plans can easily be built, maintained and distributed.

Basically, an OCC document comprises the following elements:

Test function 1
Test object data Defined in XRIO format, a powerful test object environment
to describe/model all test object parameters and settings. Test
Test function 2 object data can be entered manually or be imported. XRIO

Test modules with test Number and type of embedded test modules depending on the
settings (test points, etc.) kind of the tests to be performed. Tests automatically adapt to
changed test object settings, as these are transferred from the
overall test object definition. With the LinkToXRIO technology,
the user has access to all relay parameters – including user-
defined additional settings – and can use them for the definition
of the test points and assessment conditions.

Optional: Graphics, instruc- Guide the tester through the testing process according to test

secure format with exact data. Automatic assessment of the
test points according to tolerances. Customizable to meet the
organization's requirements. Test results can be exported in RTF,
TXT, CSV, and XML format.

Re-usability
OMICRON Control Center documents can easily be used as templates for the same or similar
test objects: Simply copying the OCC file, deleting the results of the previous test and restarting
will perform the test again with the exact same settings, configuration, and test specifications.
For similar tests, where only the settings differ (e.g. in substations with several feeders), simple
copying of the OCC file and adjustment of the parameters is all that is required. Thus, testing
times can be significantly reduced.

 Essential Standard Enhanced Complete
OCC Batch n n n n

This tool allows to run a number of Control Center (OCC) documents sequentially. It is particularly
useful to perform acceptance testing with a high number of test plans.

Test object definition with XRIO

All the relevant data for a device to be tested is kept in the XRIO (eXtended Relay Interface by
OMICRON) format. The corresponding data can either be manually entered or alternatively be
imported. Test object parameters can also be exported, making them available for other test plans.

LinkToXRIO
LinkToXRIO allow test modules the direct use of a defined test object parameter for testing. If a
certain parameter changes, the test plans using it do not need to be modified. The test plans will
perform their specified test then using the modified parameter.

XRIO converters
XRIO converters allow for the efficient conversion of the data available in the relays’ own
parameter structure. The growing library of relay-specific XRIO converters provides data models
of the protection characteristics and tolerances (e.g. impedance zones, I/t diagram shape, etc.)
based on the protection parameters and technical details documented in the manual of the
particular protection device.

b from the resulting testing know-how.
c
... This library provides OMICRON customers free access to prepared test plans and relay models
(XRIO Converters) as well as parameter import filters for specific protection devices. Any user can
easily extend or customize the test plans or XRIO converters to meet individual requirements.
The PTL is extended and maintained on a constant basis. The library for example provides access
to templates and XRIO converters for line, power transformer, and generator protection relays.
Specific relay types of ABB, Alstom, GE, Mitsubishi, Reyrolle, Schneider, SEL, Siemens, Toshiba, and
other manufacturers are supported.

Benefits:
> Save work and time: save the time it normally would take to manually create the relay charac-
teristics and test templates. The relevant relay parameters can be readily entered into the XRIO
converter to view and test against that particular relay’s characteristics.
> Parameter import: relay parameters can be transferred manually or automatically (e.g. by using
the parameter import filters for the different relay types).
> Knowledge source: often relays have special behavior that makes testing challenging and time
consuming. By using PTL files users benefit from OMICRON’s application know-how.
> No programming: the PTL test templates do not require any programming or scripting.
> Open system: the PTL templates and XRIO converters are completely open. In this way, users
can adapt a template to exactly match their needs.
The PTL is integral part of the Test Universe software standard delivery and available for free
download in the Customer Portal of the OMICRON website.

QuickCMC n n n n

Quick and easy PC controlled manual testing

> Simultaneous control of all available test signals (voltage and current outputs) of the CMC test
set in magnitude, phase, and frequency
> Steady state, step or ramp function for all quantities
> Fault Calculator providing different operation modes
> Timing measurements
> Vector view and impedance plane

QuickCMC provides an easy and intuitive user interface, while also offering powerful functions for
performing PC controlled manual tests for all kinds of protection relays, measurement transduc-
ers and other equipment.

Output functions
Output quantities can either be entered in the classical way as voltages and currents, or by using
input modes for absolute or relative impedance values, powers or symmetrical components. They
may be defined numerically, or by dynamically positioning the elements in the phasor diagram or
the interactive impedance plane with the mouse.

Fault Calculator
QuickCMC includes the Fault Calculator which automatically converts the entered values to
determine the correct output quantities (voltage, current and phase angle) for single-, two- and
three-phase faults, power flow, or symmetrical components. The residual voltage and current
is also automatically calculated and generated. According to the selected mode, the values are
displayed graphically in the vector or impedance view, as well as numerically in a table.

Channels where no fault model is assigned can be set without any restriction (unbalanced signal
generation, variable frequency for each individual channel, etc.). The Unit Manager function
allows for easy toggling between the handling of values in primary/secondary, absolute/relative,
or seconds/cycles.

Step or Ramp Mode

Step or Ramp Mode operation is provided for finding limiting values, such as pick-up and drop-
off, or starting of a relay. In Step Mode, the selected quantities (currents, voltages, impedances,
power, etc.) are increased or decreased by a specified value with a mouse click. In Ramp Mode,
the defined step is repeated until an input toggles (e.g. when the relay trips). The pulse ramping
functionality allows easy testing of protection elements with overlapping characteristics (e.g.
testing the high level current threshold).

Input/measuring functions
The test set’s binary inputs can be used to monitor dry or wet contacts and make corresponding
time measurements. In addition, virtual binary input signals (assigned to GOOSE messages) are
supported.1 The time measurement may alternatively trigger on the external interruption of the
generated currents, allowing direct assessment of CB contacts. The output values of a transducer
connected to the analog DC inputs can also be displayed.

Reporting
Results of tests with QuickCMC can be stored for later use. Similar to all other testing modules
in the Test Universe software, the report style and content can be customized. In addition, the
QuickCMC reporting feature provides a “notepad” function, so that individual comments may be
added to the report.

State Sequencer n n n n

State Sequencer is a very flexible test module for determining operating times and logical timing
sequences. A state is defined by the output conditions (voltages and currents, binary outputs)
and a condition for the transition to the next state. Several individual states can be put together
consecutively in order to define a complete test sequence. The transition from one state to the
next may take place after a fixed time, triggered by a manual input, after the occurrence of a
trigger condition at the binary inputs of the CMC, or after a PTP, GPS or IRIG-B trigger (e.g. for
synchronized end-to-end testing with multiple CMCs). Looping of the sequence or static output
of individual states is also possible.

Within one state, all configured test signals (voltage and current outputs) of the used test device
can be set independently in amplitude, phase, and frequency. Besides the direct input of the indi-
vidual voltages and currents, the integrated Fault Calculator allows the automatic calculation of
the test quantities. These can be entered as fault values, power values, symmetrical components,
or impedances (with constant test current, constant test voltage or constant source impedance
model). For distance relays, test points can directly be defined in the interactive impedance plane
showing the nominal characteristic of the test object.

Measurement
Time measurement conditions can be defined to check the correct operation of the relay.
Individual response times and tolerances can be specified for each measurement condition,
allowing a fully automatic assessment of the results. If the measured time is within the tolerance
range, the test is “passed“; otherwise, it is “failed“.

Apart from timing measurements (always triggered by an event, e.g. a trip) state assessment(s)
can be made. A state assessment is positive, if defined states at the relay outputs connected to
the binary inputs are logically true throughout a certain state.

Assessment and reporting

The measurement conditions are displayed in a table. After a test execution this table also
contains the actual measured times and deviations and the automatic assessment of the results.
The last column contains the “passed“ or “failed“ information. All of the time signals (voltages,
currents and binary inputs) can be displayed graphically to aid in studying the reaction of the
relay. Signals can be enabled individually, with the ability to zoom in on specific points in time.
Data cursors facilitate scrolling through the time signals to find the values at specific times.

Harmonics n n n n

Harmonics generates test signals consisting of a fundamental voltage or current signal and
superimposed harmonics. Signals with a frequency of up to 3 kHz (i.e. 60th harmonic at 50 Hz or
50th harmonic at 60 Hz) may be generated.

Harmonics allows defining the fundamental of three voltage and three current signals, and –
superimposed on those – any combination of even and odd harmonics. The harmonics thereby
can be entered either in percentages or absolute values. Harmonic signals can be output directly
or exported as COMTRADE files.

Harmonics features both a static output mode and a sequence mode. In sequence mode a
sequence consisting of three states can be injected:
1. Pre-signal: fundamental wave
2. Signal: fundamental wave and harmonics
3. Post-signal: fundamental wave

A timer starts at the moment of harmonic injection and stops on a trigger event. The response
time is indicated.

CB Configuration n n n n

CB Configuration simulates the auxiliary contacts of a circuit breaker (CB) or recloser during a
test (for relays requiring a connection and operation of those contacts for proper functioning).
Depending on the available binary inputs and outputs, it is possible to simulate one-pole and
three-pole operation of the CB. The set time response of the circuit breaker is visualized in the test
view of the module. The actual simulation is controlled by the CMC firmware, allowing real-time
responses of the simulated auxiliary CB contacts (52a, 52b) to trip and close commands.

Ramping n n n n

Ramping determines threshold values, such as minimum pick-up or switching hysteresis (e.g.
pick-up/drop-off ratio). It generates ramps of magnitude, phase, or frequency for the current and
voltage outputs. Automated tests can be performed with ramps that allow testing of both simple
and complex functions. The flexibility of this module allows two synchronized simultaneous
ramps of different variables (including ramping two components of the same output signal, e.g.
magnitude of fundamental and harmonic) with any number of ramp segments.

Features:
> Automated testing using ramp sequences
> Simultaneous ramps for two independent variables and functions (e.g. V/Hz)
> Definition of an arbitrary number of consecutive ramp segments

TransPlay 1 enables the CMC to test with transient signals. Transient signal data, obtained from
fault recorders, CMC test sets with EnerLyzer, or network simulation programs, can be loaded,

signals is recorded, can be assessed, and a test report is generated.

This makes it an ideal tool for:

> troubleshooting with fault records

Advanced TransPlay 2 offers additional features, e.g.:

> Marking of events

Markers can be set to point out significant events in the recording, such as fault inception,
starting, tripping, etc. These markers are the basis for time measurements.
> Automatic Assessment
Automatic assessment of the relay behavior is done based on time measurements of binary
input triggers. Absolute and relative time measurements are possible:
Absolute time measurements determine for instance starting or trip times of the relay
during signal playback.
Relative measurements compare the relay’s reaction during playback to a defined reference.
> Processing of transient signals to be replayed
It is possible to change e.g., amplitudes of the signal or to repeat parts of the signal, e.g., for
extending a pre-fault time.
> Binary output signals
Advanced TransPlay can replay the binary signals in a fault recording via the CMC’s binary
outputs. Additional binary signals (e.g., carrier send/received signals from communication-
based schemes) can be added.
> Time Synchronization
Playback can be synchronized via PTP, GPS, IRIG-B protocol or by a time pulse applied to a
binary input.

With Pulse Ramping, quick, accurate and thorough determination of pick-up values of multi­
functional relays is easily done. Pulse Ramping allows for testing a protection element pick-up

of Pulse Ramping also avoids high continuous testing current for electromechanical relays with

Often overcurrent protection is realized with two stages; a standard stage with a longer tripping

Overcurrent n n n

Overcurrent is used for automatic testing of directional and non-directional overcurrent relays
with auto-assessment of the trip time characteristic, the directional boundaries of the current
stages, and the pick-up/drop-off ratio. With its flexible directional boundary definition it is also
perfect for testing the characteristic of steady-state ground fault relays.

The test module supports directional sector definition and any number of line, ground, positive
sequence, negative sequence, and zero sequence elements. For each element the trip characteris-
tic can be individually selected and displayed in the I/t diagram and the directional diagram.

In Overcurrent, the set of test shots can be defined concurrently for all desired fault loops. This is
possible for the following fault types:
> Line-to-line fault
> Line-to-ground fault
> Line fault with suppressed residual current (for individual phase testing without ground
starting)
> Negative sequence
> Zero sequence

The software overlays the characteristics of each of the elements in both the I/t diagram and the
directional diagram. This includes all of the elements which respond to the type of fault applied.
For each test shot an assessment of the relay’s performance is made based on the allowable
tolerances for the measurement of the current and the operating time.

Key features
> Unrestricted characteristic element definition (characteristic type, directional sector)
> Assessment for each test shot considering all active elements
> Simultaneous availability of all element types and characteristics
> Testing of all fault types and loops together in one test module
> Definition of test point sequences (in terms of fault type, current magnitude variation, and
current angle variation)
> Testing of the pick-up/drop-off characteristic with automatic assessment
> Testing with or without load current
> Automatic reporting

The time characteristics can either be entered directly in current/time tables or based on a wide
range of pre-defined relay and recloser characteristics. Hierarchically structured templates for the
following relay characteristics are included: inverse-time characteristics as defined by IEC 60255-4
(BS 142), IAC type characteristics, and relay specific curves based on the IEEE equation (PC37.112).
Variants of these characteristics support commonly used relay types. Additional variants may
be added to the template file, including curves digitized with the Overcurrent Characteristics
Grabber (see below). PTL test templates add relay-specific support by mapping the relay settings
to the Overcurrent module parameters and providing sample test sequences.

Overcurrent Characteristics Grabber n n n

The Overcurrent Characteristics Grabber tool is a supplement to the Overcurrent test module. It
helps to extract inverse-time overcurrent relay tripping characteristics from graphical representa-
tions. This is most helpful in cases where the characteristic is not known by a given formula but
only by a graphical representation, e.g. an image in a relay manual.

This tool loads a scanned image of the characteristics and guides the user through scaling of the
I and t axes and successive digitizing of I/t data pairs along the displayed tripping characteristic
curve. The resulting characteristics curve value table then is transferred to the Overcurrent test
module for performing tests with automatic assessments.

Distance n n n

Distance provides the functionality to define and perform tests of distance relays by impedance
element evaluations using single-shot definitions in the Z-plane with graphical characteristic
display.

Definition of relay characteristics

The nominal relay characteristics and settings can quickly and easily be defined by a graphical
characteristic editor. Starting, trip, extended, and no-trip zones are defined by using pre-defined
elements. A complete overview of all defined zones is provided. The standard XRIO interface (see
page 11) makes it possible to directly import the relay data from the relay’s parameter setting
software (if supported by the relay manufacturer). The impedance settings for the zones can be
entered and displayed in primary or secondary values.

Definition of tests
Tests are defined in the impedance plane by entering the test points to a test point table. This
table is divided according to the different fault loops (A-N, B-N, C-N, A-B, etc.). Test points can be
defined for several fault loops at the same time (e.g. for all single-phase loops), or for every fault
loop separately.

When a test is performed, the test point lists of the individual fault loops are processed sequen-
tially. The reaction of the relay is compared to the specified nominal settings and an automatic
assessment is made (“passed“ or “failed“). The results are displayed graphically in the impedance
plane, as well as numerically in the test point table. For a more in-depth analysis of the results, the
voltages and currents related to a test point and the relay’s reaction can be graphically displayed.
Time measurements between different points can be made using cursors.

Essential Standard Enhanced Complete

Advanced Distance n n n

In addition to the base functionality of Distance, Advanced Distance provides the following
advanced functionality:
> Search and Check tests of the zone reaches
> Test settings relative to zone reaches and line angle (“relative shots“)
> Constant source impedance test model
> Load current superimposition

Shot test, Search test, and Check test

In a Shot test, single test points are added to a test point table and are automatically processed
(see Distance).

In a Search test, zone reaches are determined automatically. Zone transitions are searched
along search lines specified in the impedance plane, using an optimized algorithm. It is possible
to define a series of search lines. All defined search lines are stored in a table for automatic
processing.

In a Check test, test points are automatically set at the tolerance boundaries of zones. The setup
is done with test lines (check lines) similar to a search test, but test points are only set at the
intersections of the check lines with the zone tolerances. The Check test is an efficient overall test
of the relay with minimum testing time. This gives a quick verification of whether the specifica-
tions are met, particularly for routine tests.

Adding test points and test lines to the tables is possible in a variety of ways. Parameters can
be precisely defined by numerical inputs, or specified directly in the characteristic diagram. A
magnetic cursor supports the choosing of meaningful values. Mouse commands, context menus
and keyboard shortcuts facilitate data input.

18
Advanced Distance (continued)

A test in Advanced Distance can have any combination of Shot, Search, or Check tests. At test
execution, the whole test settings are executed sequentially. This versatile system offers a wide
range of testing possibilities. Using this, it is easy to comply with a wide variety testing philoso-
phies and regulations.

Relative test definitions

A powerful feature is the possibility to make test point definitions relative to the nominal
characteristic of the distance relay (e.g. 90 % of zone 1, 110 % of zone 1, 90 % of zone 2,…). Test
points are not entered in absolute R, X, Z, or angle values, but are referred to zone reaches and
the line angle instead. This feature allows the creation of re-usable test templates, which adapt
themselves to the actual relay settings.

Constant source impedance model

Besides the constant test current and constant test voltage models, Advanced Distance provides
the constant source impedance test model which is useful in special cases where parameters such
as SIR (Source Impedance Ratio) are important.

Load current
To verify special behavior of certain relays which occurs only when a pre-fault (load) current is
present (e.g. accelerated tripping performance), a load current can be superimposed.

Testing multiple fault loops in one test module

Advanced Distance provides special support by performing the tests for multiple fault loops (L-N,
L-L and L-L-L) within one test module. For all test modes (Shot, Search, Check) multiple tabs are
provided with a separate test point table for every fault type. Test settings can either be entered
fault-loop-specific or defined simultaneously for multiple fault types.

Distance Characteristic Guesser

If the nominal characteristic of a relay should be unknown or the actual characteristic shape is
to be documented, a guesser function allows the automatic generation of an approximated
characteristic based on the results of a Search and/or Shot test. The calculated characteristic can
be saved and further used as the relay’s nominal characteristic.

Z/t Diagram
This view shows the graded trip time curve over the impedance along a certain line. The actual

Configuration of the test sequences for the autoreclosure (AR) function of protection relays is
both effective and time saving. Autoreclosure automatically sets up test conditions for successful

unsuccessful sequence are automatically evaluated as well.

Overcurrent, distance, or line differential relays with autoreclosure function can be tested. The
faults are specified by entering the fault type and fault quantities. This is supported by the
integrated Fault Calculator which calculates the output voltages and currents for the different
fault types. For testing the autoreclosure function of distance protection, the fault can be
specified in the impedance plane.

The test sequence is displayed over time and a list of events with assessments is reported.

Advanced Differential n n n

Advanced Differential is a set of test modules which form a complete testing solution for dif-
ferential schemes. It is particularly suitable for transformer differential schemes with up to three
windings and up to nine currents to be injected.1

Extensive modeling of the protected object (e.g. power transformer), the secondary equipment
(CTs, CT connection) and the relay characteristics provides the data for the calculations required
to facilitate testing. The automatic calculation of the test currents eliminates the most time
consuming and error-prone manual tasks. Testing the correct operation of the relay becomes
simple, time saving, and cost efficient.

This test solution provides:

> Testing with all fault types (L-N, L-L, L-L-L)
> Shot tests at pre-defined test points or search tests
> All shots synchronizable to PTP, GPS or IRIG-B for end-to-end testing (e.g. line differential
protection)
> Evaluation and assessment of results against nominal characteristics and tolerances
> Report generation including graphical representation of the results in the characteristic
diagrams
> No blocking of voltage related functions required (important for testing of multifunctional
relays)

For transformers, automatic calculation of currents to be injected are based on:

> Transformer data (nominal data, vector group)
> CT ratios and connections
> Fault type
> Fault/supply side (primary, secondary, etc.)
> Load current
> Magnitude and phase correction

For the protective relay, the assessment of the measured values is based on:
> Operating characteristic
> Bias calculation
> Zero sequence elimination

The modules can control up to nine currents for comfortable testing of three-winding trans-
former protection.

For non-transformer applications, such as testing generator differential protection, the current
calculations are done without the transformer model. Furthermore, Advanced Differential
includes a module for single phase testing applications, e.g., for older electromechanical relays.

Details of the test modules in Advanced Differential:

Diff Configuration
This module simulates through-faults to verify that the protection is stable for faults outside
the protected zone. Since investigation of the stability may require the observation of multiple
measurements, the module gives the tester the option to check the readings before proceeding
with the test. The actual values read from the relay under the fault conditions (operating or
restraint currents of the different phases) can be entered in the report for full documentation.

Diff Configuration tests:

> Secondary wiring and interposing transformers (electromechanical and numerical relays)
> Correct parameter setting of digital relays (specification of protected object)
> Zero-sequence elimination

To make full use of the typical applications of Advanced Differential a CMC test system providing at least six current
outputs or sampled values streams is required.

Advanced Differential (continued)

Diff Operating Characteristic

Diff Operating Characteristic module tests whether the operating characteristic of the relay
distinguishes correctly between internal and external faults.

The currents injected into the relay are calculated from ldiff/Ibias value pairs specified in the ldiff/
Ibias plane. This relates directly to how manufacturers commonly specify the operating charac-
teristic. The correct reaction of the relay, either trip or no trip, is assessed against the specified
characteristic.

Diff Trip Time Characteristic

This module tests the dependency of the trip time from the magnitude of the differential current.

Diff Trip Time Characteristic measures tripping times at specified differential currents. The actual
test currents for the specified differential currents are automatically calculated. The test points are
defined in the trip time characteristic diagram and the measurements are assessed against this
characteristic.

Diff Harmonic Restraint

Diff Harmonic Restraint tests blocking functions based on harmonics such as inrush, CT saturation
or overexcitation. The test points are defined in the harmonic restraint characteristic diagram,
where the differential current is drawn over the harmonic content of the test current.

For simulating different inrush conditions, the initial phase shift between fundamental and
harmonics can be specified.

Single-Phase Differential
Single-Phase Differential provides a compact testing solution for transformer, line, generator, and
busbar differential protection relays. It performs single-phase tests of the operating characteristic
(pick-up value, slope test) and the inrush blocking function (harmonic restraint test).

Variable tap settings, as for some older electromechanical relays (e.g. Westinghouse HU, or GE
BDD) can be addressed. For the operating characteristic test, test points are defined in the Idiff/
Ibias plane. A graphic user interface makes the test definition easy.

Annunciation Checker n n n

Today’s protection devices emit dozens of different status signals or measured analog values.
Each signal can be displayed at various locations.

Annunciation Checker helps the commissioning engineer to verify that the allocation of each
message to its expected location (marshalling) and the wiring has been done correctly. A test
specification can be created prior to the test and can also be flexibly adapted while a test runs.
The test specification is done in a signal/location grid.

Signals stimulate a protective device and are generated as shots or steady states. The test engi-
neer can navigate through the test grid in any order (e.g. signal by signal or location by location).
Each cell of the grid corresponds to a signal indicator at a certain location. The response of the
indicator is evaluated automatically. The test results are summarized in a tabular test report.

Annunciation Checker is a typical commissioning tool used in conjunction with the central SCADA
operator. It provides a work plan (points list) and a good source of documentation.

Transient Ground Fault n n

Transient Ground Fault tests the directional decision of transient or steady-state ground fault
relays in grids with isolated or compensated grounding. It produces the transient voltages and
currents during a ground fault from a fault simulation with a pre-defined network model. The
network simulation provides testing with realistic current and voltage waveforms. The model
simulates a spur line. The calculated quantities are determined by the parameters of the line and
the feeding network.

For testing the directional decision of steady-state ground fault relays, the steady-state fault
quantities after the decay of the transient process can be continuously output. To allow for
the testing of relays in both the forward and the reverse direction, the fault can be applied on
different feeders.

The module performs an automatic assessment of the measured data based on the user’s
specific application. The output signals are shown in a separate view. They can also be displayed
or printed with the automatically generated test report. The test execution can be manually
initiated or synchronized by using an external trigger signal.

The module is of particular assistance when

> setting the relay
> checking the relay’s directional characteristic

Both three-phase systems and two-phase systems (e.g. for railway applications) can be simulated.

For a comprehensive simulation of ground faults, we recommend to use RelaySimTest (see

Synchronizer n n

Synchronizer simulates two systems to be synchronized: System 1 representing the mains is fixed
in magnitude and frequency, system 2 is controlled in magnitude and frequency and represents
the generator or system to be synchronized.

Using the module in single-phase to single-phase mode (each system represented by one
voltage) is possible with any CMC test set.

The software automatically detects the circuit breaker closing command from the synchronizing
device or synchro-check relay and, taking the CB closing time into account, evaluates if the
synchronization takes place inside the synchronizing window. The control of the second output
is variable following different test modes. The frequency and magnitude can be changed linearly
depending on the ramping time constants of the generator.

For synchronizing devices with automatic adjustment functions, the adjustment control
commands (f, f, V, V) may be used to control the second voltage output. To simulate the
real system as closely as possible, dynamic generator models are available. The binary contact
sequences of the adjustment commands, and the changes of voltage and frequency, can be
monitored graphically in order to follow the progress of the synchronization.

An implemented synchronoscope displays the rotating voltage vector of system 2 respectively the

Meter n

Until now, the usual method for testing of energy meters has been to use a stabilized, but not
very accurate, power source, in combination with a high-precision reference meter. O ­ MICRON’s
approach significantly simplifies meter testing. By using state-of-the-art hardware technology,
OMICRON provides test sets that are so accurate and stable, that the signal source itself becomes
the reference and make a reference meter unnecessary.

The CMC 430 with its high-precision voltage and current outputs – not only provides the test
signals, but also has inputs for the meter pulses allowing closed-loop testing. To this end, optical
scanning heads for capturing pulses emitted by the meters (infrared LEDs) are available.

Meter allows for manual or automated testing of energy meters. Each line of the test table
represents a test point, which can be run in one of the following modes:
> Load test: Accuracy of measurement unit (time power method)
> Mechanism test: Accuracy of entire meter including display
> Gated Mechanism test: Testing internal meter registers
> Injection test: Quick check (wiring, sense of rotation)
> No-load test: No start-up at zero load
> Creep test: Start-up at low loads

In the columns of the table the individual test parameters, the set assessment criteria (tolerance,
nominal behavior), and the result of the test, including the assessment (passed or failed) are
displayed. For multifunctional meters, or meters with two directions of rotation, a table per test
function is available (multiple tabs). Test lines can be repeated several times. In this case the
standard deviation is displayed together with the meter error, which allows conclusions of the
correctness of the test itself. Single test steps (e.g. those assessed as failed) can be repeated after
a test run is finished, without the need for repeating the whole test.

The test quantities are displayed graphically by means of the voltage, current and power phasor
diagrams. The test can be performed with any balanced or unbalanced load for single-phase
meters (or a single measurement element of a 3-phase meter), 3-wire meters, and 4-wire meters.

For testing the behavior of meters with harmonics or DC components, the following current
signal waveforms are available: Sine, Sine + Harmonics, Sine + DC

In a detail view, all parameters can be specified independently for each phase. Apparent, active
and reactive power is indicated for each phase and the whole rotary system. Testing of the
following meter functions is supported:
> Wh importing/exporting
> VArh importing/exporting
> VAh
> I2h and V2h (load/no-load losses of transformers)
> Qh (quantity hour)

The results of an automatic test are clearly summed up in a tabular test report (one line per
test point). For a manual test, generating any test quantities, without defining a complete test
procedure, can quickly check the correct functioning of meters. In this mode the constant of a
meter can also be determined, in case it is not known or if there are doubts about it.
Also operation in conjunction with an external reference meter is possible: When testing with a
reference meter, the CMC is used as a current and voltage source. During a load test, the pulses
of the meter under test as well as those of the reference meter are registered. The latter form the
reference for error calculation.
Furthermore, testing against a 0.02 or 0.01 % reference before a test is run, using the same test
points, can eliminate errors of the CMC by loading correction values.

> Apparent power (single- or three-phase)
> Frequency
> Current
> Voltage (phase-to-ground, phase-to-phase)
> cos φ
> Phase angle (V-I, V-V, I-I)
> DC quantities (current, voltage, power)
> Signed average of currents

The module supports testing of the following types of characteristics:

> Linear
> Compound
> Quadratic
> Symmetrical or non-symmetrical

The “manual test“ mode is used, if a measurement transducer is to be re-adjusted. Every desired
input quantity can be generated for the transducer. Furthermore, it is easy to switch between
significant points of a characteristic, where the error of the transducer is shown at a certain input
value.

An automatic test includes the sequential output of a pre-defined test point table, as well as the
documentation and assessment of the results. Here, the test points represent the input value of
the measurement transducer. In addition, the behavior at changing input voltage or frequency
can be performed as an option.

The error of a transducer is determined by comparing the theoretical signal and the actually
measured output signal. Relative, absolute and device errors are derived and graphically
displayed in a diagram. If multiple test runs are performed, the average error is indicated.

Single test points or test sequences can be added to the test point table. The table includes: input
value, output value, device error and assessment (test passed or failed).

During the automatic test run all test points are processed in a sequence. The transfer characteris-
tic including all test points (passed or failed) is displayed graphically. If remote displays should be
checked during the test run, the test can also be controlled manually.

Measuring transducers for three-wire (Aaron circuit) as well as four-wire systems can be tested.
Currents as well as voltages can be generated as pure sine signals or superimposed with harmon-
ics or DC components. New generation transducers often no longer have classical mA or VDC
output. They rather transmit the measured data via transfer protocol or/and visualize values
at a display. The mode “open loop testing“ supports testing this type of transducer. For testing
classical transducers with mA or VDC outputs a CMC with DC measuring inputs is required.

PQ Signal Generator n

The need to verify the functionality and accuracy of power quality meters/analyzers requires
appropriate calibration equipment. PQ Signal Generator turns a CMC 430 with its high-precision
voltage and current outputs – into a calibration tool that generates all kinds of power quality
phenomena according to IEC 61000-4-30:
> Power frequency
> Power supply voltage
> Flicker
> Dips & Swells
> Voltage interruption
> Transient voltages
> Voltage unbalance
> Harmonics
> Interharmonics
> Rapid voltage changes

PQ Signal Generator features a powerful and easy to use interface, that also allows to combine
different power quality phenomena for comprehensive testing.

Based on tables 1 and 2 of the IEC 61000-4-15:2010 standard, the module provides a selection of
predefined test points for short-term flicker severity Pst and instantaneous flicker sensation Pinst.

Voltage and current signals with superimposed harmonics (up to the 60th harmonic at 50 Hz or
50th harmonic at 60 Hz) and interharmonics up to 3 kHz can be generated. Harmonic magni-
tudes can be entered either in absolute values or in percentages of the fundamental value. For
advanced applications, even fluctuating harmonics can be generated. If only one interharmonic
is used the frequency resolution for this is 1 mHz, moreover any combination of interharmonics
with whole-number Hertz values can be set up.

An example of the module´s versatility is the generation of cyclic notches. The notch depth and
the angle of occurrence can be adjusted independently; the minimum gap-width for notches
is 300 μs. This function can provide the possibility to simulate the system perturbation of a
thyristor-controlled motor.

PQ Signal Generator allows the creation of comprehensive test sequences. Test steps can be
grouped and run repeatedly in a user-definable number of loops. If the test object provides a
binary output, it can be used for automatic assessment of the test results. If no alarm contact is
available, manual assessment can also be performed.

PQ Signal Generator enables the CMC test set to support testing in accordance with IEC 62586.
This standard defines the test methods to verify compliance with IEC 61000-4. An extensive
testing library is available to provide support in performing most type tests required by these
standards.

In the past, the testing of PQ related equipment required a high level of investment in separate
testing equipment. With PQ Signal Generator, the testing of PQ analyzers can be performed with
the CMC test set quickly and easily.

RelaySimTest
Essential Standard Enhanced Complete
RelaySimTest – System-based protection testing n n

RelaySimTest is a software solution for system-based protection testing with OMICRON test
equipment that takes a novel, future-oriented approach: the test is independent of relay type
and relay manufacturer and the often very extensive parameter settings. Instead, it completely
focuses on the correct behavior of the protection system. This is made possible by simulating
realistic events in the power system.

Compared to conventional test methods (such as settings-based testing with Test Universe),
RelaySimTest can detect errors in the settings, logic and design of the protection system much
better. This allows testers to verify the correct behavior of their protection system faster and
with a higher testing quality than ever before. Complementary to testing with Test Universe,
­RelaySimTest contributes to a more reliable power system.

Simple and flexible operation

Predefined test templates give you a quick and easy start in standard testing situations. Thanks to
the flexible network editor, even complex power systems can be simulated. The correct behavior
of the protection system can be easily checked in all scenarios by placing faults and circuit-
breaker events. The calculated test signals can be analyzed in advance and then executed via the
test device.

Remote testing
For example, testing a line protection is very simple: RelaySimTest automatically calculates the test
signals and then starts its time-synchronized execution from one PC. The test equipment can be
synchronized by a PTP Grandmaster Clock (e.g. CMGPS 588) or by a CMIRIG-B. Subsequently, all
of the protection system’s reactions are evaluated centrally. This not only makes execution faster
and easier, but also aids you in troubleshooting. Test equipment can also be controlled from a PC
at remote locations via an Internet connection.

Logic and scheme testing

The indispensable test of logic in protection systems usually involves a complex sequence of
states triggered by trip and close commands. Thanks to the patented “Iterative Closed-Loop”
method, RelaySimTest can automatically build the test sequence according to the trip and close
commands. Testing, for example the coordination of an auto-reclose function in the system,
becomes simple and transparent.

EnerLyzer, TransView
Essential Standard Enhanced Complete
EnerLyzer n

EnerLyzer transforms the CMC test set into a multifunctional measuring, recording and analysis
device. Each of its binary inputs can be configured as an analog measuring input and can then
directly measure voltages as high as 600 VRMS. Currents are acquired via the measuring shunts
or current clamps. The CMC test set can be used for conventional testing and simultaneously for
measuring with EnerLyzer.

Broad range of applications

EnerLyzer offers a wide range of views and analysis tools: both direct and derived measurands can
be displayed as numerical values (multimeter view) or in phasor diagrams. The harmonic analysis
facilitates the quick and easy examination of the harmonic content and shows the total harmonic
distortion (THD) value. The CMC can also be used as a multichannel transient recorder. TransView
(see page 33) is included to enable a more detailed analysis of the transient values recorded in
this way. These tools allow faults to be localized quickly and easily and the corresponding system
parameters to be evaluated.

Typical applications:
> Troubleshooting during commissioning or maintenance testing of protective devices
> Recording of transients during switching operations
> Analysis of transformer inrush events (for example, analysis of harmonics to adjust the
blocking)
> Analysis of starting characteristics of motors (current/voltage curves, determining start-up
times)
> Measurement and analysis during generator synchronization with synchro-check function
> Diagnosis of timing characteristics of circuit breakers and their auxiliary contacts
> Analysis of system perturbations and power quality (for example, THD, harmonics)
> General measurement functions (for example, plausibility checks for voltages, currents, power)

Depending on the CMC type, two different versions of EnerLyzer are offered:

EnerLyzer (CMC 500 1, CMC 430)

Hybrid measurement functionality

EnerLyzer provides comprehensive functionality for carrying out measurements in digital substa-
tions. Sampled Values (IEC 61850-9-2) and conventional signals can be measured simultaneously
and displayed together along a common time line.

Oscilloscope view and real-time trend analysis

Instantaneous values and trend curves are displayed in real time; any faults are immediately
apparent. Measured quantities are displayed clearly in a number of ways (numerical values, trend
curves or as phasor diagrams) and in a range of views. The measurement view can be customized
as required.

Transient recording and analysis

The maximum sampling frequency is 40 kHz. This sampling frequency permits recordings of up
to 20 minutes duration. These recordings can then be analyzed immediately in EnerLyzer. Simple
or complex trigger conditions can be defined for the recording of faults or inrush phenomena
in the electrical power system. The recorded data can be exported in CSV or COMTRADE format
(C37.111-1991/1999 and 2013), if a more detailed investigation needs to be carried out.

32
EnerLyzer Classic

Trend recording
Important quantities (for example, RMS of currents and voltages, frequency or power) are
displayed in a chart as a function of time. Selecting longer measuring rates enables an analysis to
be carried out over longer periods (for example, weeks, if the measuring rate is in seconds). The
recorded data can be exported in CSV format for further processing.

Transient recorder
The maximum sampling frequency is 28 kHz, while the maximum recording duration depends on
the number of channels being used and the selected sampling frequency (one channel at 3 kHz
produces a recording time of more than five minutes). The recordings are stored in COMTRADE
file format (C37.111-1991/1999) and can be analyzed in TransView.

Essential Standard Enhanced Complete

TransView n

TransView is used to visualize and analyze analog and binary signals that have been recorded by
the transient recorders (relay-internal recording, CMC test set with optional EnerLyzer / EnerLyzer
­Classic, DANEO 400, fault recorder). The software processes the recorded data graphically and
uses the measurement data to compute additional electrical power system quantities, such as
impedances, power vectors, RMS, etc.

The values are displayed either as primary or secondary values in a range of views:
> Time signals: Analog and binary signals are displayed as a function of time. Analog quantities
can be displayed as instantaneous or RMS values.
> Phasor diagrams: This view shows the measured and calculated quantities (for example,
symmetric components) as complex vectors at defined points in time.
> Locus diagrams: This view shows complex quantities in the form of locus diagrams. Impedance
locus diagrams can be shown together with the trip zones of distance relays. Zone settings can
be imported using the XRIO format.
> Harmonics: This view shows the RMS of the harmonics of selected quantities as bar graphs. The
harmonics are determined using a full-cycle DFT (Discrete Fourier Transformation).
> Value table: The Table view shows the values of several signals at the marker positions. The
signals are arranged as rows, where the individual columns contain the respective values.

TransView enables a number of recordings to be analyzed simultaneously, for example, those

from both ends of a line. TransView supports data in COMTRADE format (IEEE C37.111-
1991/1999 and 2013).

Note: TransView can be used

> As part of EnerLyzer Classic (no separate order necessary)
> As part of Test Universe (without EnerLyzer Classic / EnerLyzer) [P0006837]
> As a stand-alone application without CMC or Test Universe [P0006602]
