3 DESCRIPTION

3Description

3.1 General conceptEffective circuit breakermaintenance requires accu-rate, comprehensive testing, and the abilityto com-pare a circuitbreakers test results properly with previ-ous test results is an important part of this. It must bepossible to conduct tests in exactly the same way andunder the same conditions as those conducted previ-ously. Comparison can then provide a clear picture ofany deviations and changes. The deviations or chang-es may indicate that the circuit breaker requires repair.

Accurate, comprehensive testing also requires analyti-cal and reporting tools. It must be possible to checktest results in detail, andthen compare them easilywith other test results. Reportsmust be generatedproperly and in order to achieveeffective communica-tion.

CABA Win can be used with the three Programmabreaker analyzers: TM1800, TM1600/MA61 and EGIL.CABA Win organizes all testing work and attemptsto ensurethat measurements are conducted in the

same way for each object being tested. CABA Winthen saves the results and generates the report. In theanalysis section, the user can work with a number ofgraphic windows, compare different measurements byoverlaying graphs on each otherin the same display,provide on-chart markings to clarify the presentationand use powerful zoom functions. CABA Win simpli-fies testing and ensures top-quality results.

CABA Win can be used for all applications, rangingfrom time measurement to dynamic resistanceandvibration measurements. All settings in the TM1600/

MA61 and EGIL are done

automatically from the testplan provided for each circuit breaker. After a breakeris defined the first time it is tested, all of the data iskept together, thereby enabling CABA Win to step theuser through the test procedure in exactly the sameway each time the circuit breaker is tested. This savestime, and since all tests are conducted using exactlythe same settings regardless of who did the originaltesting, full and complete comparisons can be madefrom one test occasion to the next.

All test andcircuit breaker data issaved together with

the unique test plan. It is also possible to enter theresults of tests done manually, and to enter separatecomments for the breaker regarding the test in ques-

tion. After the test, the circuit breaker with its testscan be moved to the database.

Each circuit breaker is given a unique identifier viauser-defined ID fields. The way in which thebreaker isto be tested is specified along with the electrical andmechanical data. The test plan is defined automati-cally, based on the specified test and breaker data.

The CABA Win system contains a number of differentparts/programs in one software package.

A start page for easy access to the different CABAWin programs

9] Now you can read the IP address and theSubnet mask.

How to use the "Connect to TM1800"function1] Start CABA Win

2] Make sure that the PC and the TM1800(s) areconnected to the same Local Area Network

(LAN), or that the PC and the TM1800 are

directly interconnected with a crossover TP

cable, i.e a null modem cable.

3] Make sure that the remote units are switchedon. TM1800 must be completely started be-fore attempting to establish a connection.

4] Select File -> Connect to TM1800. TheConnect to TM1800 dialog opens and the

TM1800(s) connected to the LAN or PC au-

tomatically pops up in the list. If not, please

check the section Fault tracing below.

5] The Status column should say Verified oneach line. If not, please refer to Fault trac-

ing below

6] If you connect a TM1800 to the LAN afteryou entered the Connect to TM1800 dialog,

you have to press the Refresh button. The

program will then perform a new scan for

TM1800 units and list them in the dialog. The

Status column should display Verifying a

short while and then Verified.

7] Click in the Mapped column for each re-mote unit (TM1800 or PC) that you wish to

connect to the PC, and type in a name in the

Display name column. Click OK.

8] The Remote breaker list window will auto-matically open and each mapped remote unit

(TM1800 or PC) will have its own tab.

9] To access the remote breaker list you have toright-click on the tab and select Lock. The

TM1800s (or other PCs) breaker list will then

appear in CABA and the TM1800 will show

a grey screen with a message that it is in

5 USING CABA DATABASE

5.1 Database - generalThe contents of the database can be displayed in twoforms. When the database is started, a matrix contain-ing all breakers is opened. Since the contents of thematrix columns are specified by the user in ChangeLayout, readings and objects can be presented asdesired and the matrix can be sorted in almost anyway. You can sort on each individual column in eitherascending or descending order. Moreover, you can

search by entering letters for a single column, where-upon the first object that fulfils the search argumentwill be highlighted. You can select on site name ormanufacturer for example. It is also possible to sort oncertain breaker test parameters such as closing timesand opening times.

If so desired, the contents of the database can be pre-sented in a tree structure similar to the circuit breakerlist in CABA. Information about breakers and tests isavailable in both the tree and matrix structures.

Tip!For selection and export/import/movebreakers, matrix view is recommended.

5Using CABA Database

CABA Database the archive of CABA Win compris-es a database where circuit breaker data, test results,test plans and reports can be saved for later use and/or export to other databases and into other formats.

The database can be considered a passive archivewhere you can organize a large amount of data.CABA is the active part of CABA Win in which:

a) breakers and tests are defined

b) measurements (tests) are conducted and analyzed

c) test results are reported

When all of this has been done, the breaker is movedto the database. The next time you wish to test thebreaker, you retrieve it from the database and proceedwith the new test.

Exporting test data to other users or central databasesis another important function carried out in the da-tabase. Since CABA Database is based on MicrosoftAccess, other applications can obtain data usingstandard inter-database communication procedures.

5.2 Listing the DatabaseWhen Database is selected, a list of all breakers in thedatabase is shown.

This list can be sorted on any column by clicking onthe desired column. Arrow up indicates ascending

sequence down descending sequence. You can tog-gle between the two by clicking the left mouse buttonrepeatedly. You can type a letter or word for the activecolumn and the arrow-type cursor will move to thefirst breaker that fulfils the conditions specified by theletter(-s).

The contents of the columns displayed in the list aredetermined by the user in change layout/make selec-tions.

Note:Breakers are defined and edited in CABA. The

database is used for storing, searching andexporting/importing breakers.

The following functions are available:

View Breaker DetailsOpens a window in which all available data, tests and(saved) reports are shown. When you select Test, thetests conducted for the individual breaker are shown.If a report has been saved in CABA you can look atthe report with View.

Change Layout/Make selectionUsed to specify the data that is to be shown in theindividual columns. Almost all of the fields in thebreaker definition can be used. In addition, four testparameters can be presented and used for sorting:closing time, opening time, closing speed and open-ing speed (to be implemented).

1] Double-click or select and use arrows tomove variables between the fields. The se-

lected fields can be moved in order by drag

and drop.

To make selections:1] Mark one of the columns and proceed by se-

lecting from the existing labels for all break-

ers.

2] Continue with selections for other columns ifnecessary and click OK. Only the selected

breakers will be displayed in the database.

Delete/UndeleteDeletes a circuit breaker or recovers the breaker(-s)you have deleted since the last start of the databaseapplication. The breakers are finally deleted when youexit the database.

Export/ImportExports/Imports circuit breakers to/from the selectedlocation. Data format is CABA breaker list.

MoveMove the selected circuit breaker(-s) to CABA. Toselect multiple breakers, hold control while select-ing with the mouse. The breakers are deleted in thedatabase.

Tree ViewThis presents the circuitbreakers, tests and testplans in a tree (WindowsExplorer) structure. Whena breaker is highlighted, its data is shown. When atest is highlighted, its data isshown. If the test hasbeen reported and saved in CABA, the report can beviewed from the database.

Recommended to use after selections have beenmade in the database matrix view.

Backup/Restore/CompactBackup/restore function for the database.

Scheduled backup of the database is recommended.the database will contain very important data for yourmaintenance work.

Compact invokes data packing (like defrag inyour computer). Recommended after a lot of workwith the database.

Exit

Exits and returns you to the CABA Win start window.
