Essential Insights: The Basics of Rotating Machine Testing
May 31, 2026
We’re happy to announce the release of ARCO Control version 1.60 and ReCoPlan version 2.60. The new versions add advanced features for DER protection testing, additional PDF export of results, and modification of voltage signals in locked test plan mode.
The Pick-Up test tool now includes modes for anti-islanding protection testing:
Extended timer support and prefault settings make it easier to meet the requirements of solar sites with long trip durations.
ARCO Control 1.60: Reports can now be saved directly in PDF format, with options to include detailed event logs and timing diagrams. Users can choose between A4 and Letter page formats, making it convenient to share and archive test results professionally.
ARCO Control 1.60: Voltage correction factors and phase connections can now be adjusted directly within locked test plans*. This enables quick adaptation to different system conditions without creating separate plans, streamlining workflows and improving scalability.
* Note: VT and CT ratios remain fixed in this mode.
