Sotware Relay Testing SolutionThe ETAP Advanced Relay Testing and Transient Simulator
(ARTTS) is a new concept that utilizes hardware and sotware
technologies or testing, calibrating, and simulating relays.
ETAP ARTTS combines the short-circuit and protection
device coordination capabilities o ETAP with the relay testing
hardware. It provides actual steady-state and transient
responses o relays or comparisons with the manuacturers
published data. ARTTS is designed to improve system
protection, coordination, and reliability, hence decreasing
operational and maintenance costs.

ARTTS - Relay Test ing & Simulation
Bridge Between Relay-Testing Hardware
& Power System Simulation TechnologyARTTS provides the bridge between the relay-testing hardware
and power system simulation technology. While ETAP Star provides
a revolutionary method o analyzing and simulating the protective
device coordination and protection view via an intelligent one-line
diagram, ETAP ARTTS determines the actual operation o protective
relays based on steady-state and dynamic transient waveorms and
compares the captured relay response with that o manuacturer
published curves.

Relay Actual Response
Steady-State ResponseETAP Star exports the relay settings and parameters to
ARTTS or current injection into the relay. Based on the
required range o the overcurrent and/or ault 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 or plotting and
comparison with the manuacturer published data.
Transient Response
The ability to simulate relay response under steady-stateand transient conditions during both ault and normal
system operating conditions provides the necessary tools
or protection engineers and technicians to confdently
determine and evaluate the design and operation o
protection system. Steady-state ault current provides only
a snapshot operation o the relay based on sustained
current. Transient ault simulation is necessary to
determine the actual response time o the relay based on
the distributed through ault containing AC and DC decay
current.
The waveorms are generated rom ETAP and are
pragmatically played into the relay through ARTTS.
This allows or verifcation o the relay operation under
conditions matching actual system aults. By comparing
these sets o curves, Star visually indicates the
discrepancies and deviation between the actual (feld
setting) versus design (intended / ideal) device response
characteristics.

ARTTS Software Modules
Integrated SotwareARTTS sotware is an advanced control sotware program or
accessing all unctions o the Automatic Relay Testing and
Transient Simulator. This powerul sotware can be used or
manual and ully automatic testing o protective relays, energy
meters, and transducers.
The ARTTS sotware modules are extremely easy to use with
intuitive graphical user interace and realistic representations o
panel control and vector quantities. The ARTTS Wizard allows theuser to easily and quickly select the most appropriate sotware
program or the required application. The Click and Test eature
o the sotware makes relay testing more efcient 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.ARTTS Software: Virtual front panel
