RelaySimTest is a software solution for system-based protection testing with OMICRON test equipment. The test approach is independent of relay type, manufacturer, and parameter settings. Instead, RelaySimTest completely focuses on the correct behavior of the protection system by simulating realistic power system events.

The Interactive System Simulation is a completely new test case type, which is available to all RelaySimTest customers with a CMC test set with NET-2 interface or an ARCO 400. No additional license is required. Like the Test Universe module QuickCMC, the Interactive System Simulation can continuously output the current state of the power system simulation. By changing settings, breaker and disconnector positions and adding faults, the output values will change throughout execution. Trip and close commands from the IEDs will also be integrated as breaker open and close events in non-real time.

Like Quick CMC the Interactive System Simulation is a Swiss army knife in your system-based testing workflow. Some of the potential applications we anticipate:
• Wiring, metering, and functional checks especially in setups with multiple test sets
• Training facilities where technicians are trained to operate IEDs under realistic system conditions
• Testing of long running restoration schemes
• Providing realistic system conditions for resilience testing of PAC systems under cyber attacks

The successful operation of expanding power grids, PAC systems and IED networks is based on how well their data management systems enable users to easily access consistent, up-to-date and traceable data.

In this episode, OMICRON data management experts Stefan Schöner and Will Scheibe discuss the importance of centralized data management, how to develop a data management strategy and plan, as well as which technology best achieves present and future data management goals.

In this episode, Florian Fink, OMICRON product manager and circuit breaker testing enthusiast, talks about the importance of medium-voltage circuit breaker testing. He describes, for example, how medium-voltage circuit breaker testing differs from high-voltage circuit breaker testing, what are the typical tests and how often should they be performed. Florian also offers insights into what should be considered during off-line as well as in-service testing on medium-voltage circuit breakers.

Zestaw do testowania wyłączników #OMICRON CIBANO 500 oferuje zaawansowane metody testowania wyłączników wysokiego i średniego napięcia. Urządzenie testowe może wykorzystywać swój wewnętrzny zasilacz, miernik czasu i miernik µOhm w celu wykonania szeregu testów wyłączników.

Rutynowe testy wyłączników zawierają pomiary czasu i rezystancji styków. Odciski palców poprzez dynamiczne pomiary rezystancji w połączeniu z pomiarami krzywych ruchu i prądu silnika, pozwalają na odkrycie trendów degradacji.

W idealnym przypadku, testy wyłączników powinny również obejmować testowanie wszelkich specjalnych funkcji wyłącznika, takich jak wykrywanie stanów przepięcia i podnapięcia, lub pomiar minimalnego napięcia niezbędnego do zadziałania i zamknięcia wyłącznika (test minimalnego odbioru).

CIBANO 500 pozwala użytkownikom na testowanie wszystkich tych funkcji za pomocą jednego urządzenia. Ten film pokazuje jak wyłączniki średniego napięcia mogą być kompleksowo testowane za pomocą CIBANO 500.

The #OMICRON CIBANO 500 circuit breaker test set offers advanced testing methods for high and medium voltage circuit breakers. The test device can make use of its internal power supply, timing meter and µOhm meter in order to perform a number of tests on circuit breakers.

Routine tests on circuit breakers will typically include timing and contact resistance measurements. Fingerprinting through dynamic resistance measurements combined with measuring motion and motor current curves, allow deterioration trends to be discovered.

Ideally, circuit breaker tests should also include the testing of any special functions of a circuit breaker, such as the detection of overvoltage and undervoltage conditions, or the measurement of the minimum voltage necessary to trip and close the breaker (Minimum pick-up test).

CIBANO 500 allows users to test all of these functions with a single device. This video shows how medium voltage circuit breakers can comprehensively be tested with CIBANO 500.

The intermediate infeed effect is a phenomenon that occurs in multi-terminal distance protection schemes. For example, the additional current by a third terminal will rise the voltage at the intermediate busbar – this leads to an incorrectly calculated impedance within the protective relay.

The impedance increases and thus the distance protection could detect the fault location too far away and trip in a wrong zone. The protection system will not function as desired and will violate requirements for speed and selectivity. Therefore, it is important for protection engineers to know the effect and handle it correctly.

Modern protective relays use complex algorithms and adapt to network and failures. Simple function tests are often no longer sufficient for testing such relays. Our unique software RelaySimTest covers these new demands with a transient simulation of the primary power system. It can reveal failures created during calculations as well as during setup of the relay or a protection scheme, requiring only a minimum of test steps.

Transformers are important and expensive assets in the electrical power grid. Therefore, it is crucial to protect them from damage due to overload and short circuit.

The most common type of transformer protection is differential protection. The principle behind differential protection is Kirchhoff's nodal law. It states that the algebraic sum of currents at a node must be zero. This law can be used to formulate a condition that detects a fault in the protected area.

We apply the differential protection principle not only to transformers, but also to rotating machines, busbars and lines as well.

In this episode, Martin Pfanner, OMICRON product manager for Primary Test Manager software, discusses what contributes to making electrical testing on primary assets faster, easier and safer.

One important aspect of testing efficiency is having a single, automated software platform that provides users with guided workflows as well as central data management and reporting for all recommended tests on electrical assets. One such platform is OMICRON’s Primary Test Manager software.
