Summary

Learn how to efficiently test overcurrent, distance and transformer differential relays with the OMICRON Test Universe. Get familiar with the test procedure in hands-on and theoretical sessions. Work with special test set-ups that simulate the substation in the classroom.

Objectives

  • Performing commissioning, trouble-shooting and periodic tests of protection relays
  • Testing overcurrent, distance and transformer differential relays with the OMICRON Test Universe
  • Creating and modifying automated test plans and customized test reports
  • Using the OMICRON Test Universe from scratch
  •  

Content

  • Quick current and voltage output for easy wiring tests
  • Configuration of the test object parameters and the test hardware
  • Creating test plans which adapt automatically to newly entered relay settings
  • Creating a flexible test plan for overcurrent relays including testing pick-up values and trip times
  • Hands-on testing of the overcurrent protection function
  • Creating a flexible test plan for distance relays including testing the trip times and zone reaches as well as switch on to fault (manual close) and auto-reclosing
  • Hands-on testing of distance relays
  • Creating a flexible test plan for transformer differential relays including testing the stability during external faults, the tripping characteristic, the trip times and the harmonic restraints
  • Hands-on testing of transformer differential relays
  •
